Blaze frees 14 miners after underground fire in Indiana mine
In Sullivan Indiana an underground blaze trapped 14 coal miners who found an escape route and exited safely. Two others were overcome by smoke but not seriously hurt. Archie Clark 46 Hymera described how air from a ventilating system entered a parallel passage after a burned partition opened a path to the bottom shaft. Rescue squads and Red Cross and American Legion volunteers aided the operation. Also, A M Hendrickson of Cleveland was announced as president of the International Shipmasters Association.
