DIR. NJ. j. Shields, of this borough,
has lately drafted bill which Repre-
sentative Philbin will Introduce In the
legislature at Harrisburg, the provis-
ions OF which will he read with in
terest by all mine workers of the state.
The main feature of the bill makes
IL compulsory for all mine owners to
provide a stretcher for every one hun
dred men employed i'm a colliery; a
gallon of carron oil to every fifty men
employed and n first aid package for
every sixteen men. The oil and first
aid packages, which are to be avail
able in case of accident are to be
placed in boxes. which with the stretch
drs, are to be distributed at conven-
lent portions Of the collierles and where
first aid societies exist these supplies
shall be under the control of such soci-
ETY.. From "A humanitarian standpoint
the bill appears to contain some eX-
cellent features that ought to relieve
considerable suffering at times to the
victims of mine accidents, and will en-
tail but small outlay of money to the
! operators.
