The Cherry mine disaster blamed on unsafe mine design
Duncan McDonald leading a United Mine Workers investigation declares St Paul Coal Co failed to safeguard workers at the Cherry mine, calling it the worst U.S. mine disaster. Points cited include pine timber main entries, lack of water and hoses, no fire drills, open torches, timber escape shafts, and an escape shaft too close to the main shaft. McDonald urges new safety laws and calm, sober conduct among miners, while noting inspectors may be influenced by owners. An endorsement of Dr King’s New Discovery follows later.
