“The awful mine horror at Monongah is due also to come in for attention and criticism of the state mining department is not unlikely. There was a series of serious mine disasters last winter while the legislature was in session and a special investigating committee was appointed by joint resolution to visit scenes and gather information. That committee headed by Senator Gartland, took a new lease on life a few days ago by journeying to Monongah, so as to have its report up to date.” (ES 12.22.07 pg. 12)
