Rescuers are trying to reach six Utah miners trapped by a mine collapse. United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts says the UMWA will help in any way possible in the rescue operation. The UMWA says President Roberts and every UMWA member is praying for the trapped miners and their families. The union has a longstanding tradition of lending any form of assistance regardless of whether the affected mine is union or not. The mine collapse was so severe that at first it was thought to be an earthquake. But scientists now say the seismic jolt was caused by the mine collapse.
