ALBANY EVENING NEWS, New York, May 21, 1928

* Mather Pa Pennsylvania
* Coal mine explosion disaster
* Bremen Transatlantic flight airmen welcome

This 24 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page that include: "MATHER MINE'S DEATH TOLL 46; 152 STILL IN PIT", "Little Hope held for Their Rescue Alive; Frantic Digging Goes on" and more.

Tells of the coal mine 'firedamp' explosion that killed 195 men at Mather Pennsylvania.

Other news of the day. Usual browning with some spine wear, otherwise in good condition. Should be handled with care.
