Explosion at Edison plant kills and injures workers
A coal dust explosion at the Edison Portland Cement plant near New Village after a fire in the coal blower house killed six workers and burned many others. A special train carried corpses and injured to hospitals in Eaton, Washington, and nearby towns as investigators sought the cause while a dozen more were hospitalized with severe burns. Local officials and detectives traced suspects in a theft ring tied to coal deliveries, but the primary tragedy remained the massive blast and its toll on workers and families.
