Coroner's jury clears mine company in Monongah disaster
The inquest verdict faults no party for the Monongah mine explosion, suggesting it stemmed from a blown out shot or powder ignition in mine No 8. It urges Congress to fund a national mine explosion investigation bureau and recommends safer powder, trained handling, and non combustible tamping. Additional inspectors are urged as West Virginia mines employ over sixty thousand workers.
