TO OPERATE RESCUE STATIONS
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY HOPES TO
LESSEN FATALITIES.
Will Demonstrate Apparatus in the
Principal Coal Fields of the
United States.

Carrying out its efforts to reduce the
number of fatalities in coal mines, the
United States geological survey is about
to establish rescue stations in the princi-
pal coal fields Of the country in addition
to the experiment station at Pittsburg.
The new stations will be at or near the
greatest centers Of accidents, and 1t will
be the purpose OF the experts to teach the
miners and mine bosses how to use the
most approved apparatus for mine rescue
work.
Government mining engineers thorough
ly trained in the use of rescue apparatus
will be assigned to the stations, and they
will be ready at a moments notice 10 go
to any disaster in their district. The ex-
perts will be equipped with oxygen he'll
NETS, which will enable them TO enter a
mine at once, even though it is filled
with gas or smoke.
Study of Waste Of Coal.
These stations also will be headquarters
of the engineers for the study of the
waste of coal in mining. one of the i'm
portant problems before the geological
survey.
1t is the intention to have every station
fitted with an alright room, where gas
can be generated. The coal mining COM
panies are to be invited to send picked
men to the stations. where they will be
trained by the government experts In the
use Of the oxygen helmets. 1t is not the
purpose Of the government to engage in
general rescue work. but rather to DEM
onstrate the apparatul until such time as
the mine owners have thoroughly trained
| crews at their mines. All of the rescue
stations are to be erected in cooperation
with the mine owners and state geological
surveys.
One of the rescue stations will be at
Urbana, ILL.,. in connection with the Uni
versity of Illinois. This station will take
care of Illinois. Indiana, Michigan, Iowa.
northern Missouri and western Kentucky
Near the Trinidad Field.
A second station will be located prob
ably at Ration, N NJ, to take care of
New Mexico, Colorado, Utah. Wyoming
and Montana. The largest coal output in
New Mexico and Colorado comes from
the Trinidad field, which is Immediately
accessible to Ration. A second station
is suggested for this district, to be locat-
ed at Salt Lake City. Utah. This station
will be central for the several Utah fields
and will be accessible to the Montana
fields and also the Washington fields.
The coal field of Oklahoma. Arkansas
and southwestern Missouri will be taken
care OF by station in the neighborhooE
Of South McAlester, Okla.
Several locations are suggested for the
station which will cover Alabama, Ten.
nessee, Virginia. eastern Kentucky, Geor-
gia and southern West Virginia.
At University Of Tennessee.
One plan is to locate station at Knox
vile, Tenn, in connection with the Uni
versity OF Tennessee, which is located at
Knoxville, and has mining course. Biz
minsham. Ala. and Lexington. Ky. have
also been suggested for LOCATION of the
station in this district. George s. Rice.
mining engineer. will have general charge

of West Virginia will have supervisory
charge of all rescue work
At these stations not only will oppor-
tunity be given the miners to become IA
miliar with the rescue apparatus. but
safety lamps of all designs will be tested
for their general safety and efficiency i'm
the presence of the miners and the mine
owners.

 After a conference with Arthur |. yorys of Ohio Secretary Taft said:
 You can say absolutely definitely that the chairmanship of the Repub- lican national committee has not yet been settled. You can say also that no announcement of decision as to the chairmanship will be made until after I have conferred at Hot Springs, Va, next Wednesday with the subcommit- tee of the national committee. I hope this is sufficiently definite and that my statement will be accepted"

Taft has been urged strongly to select Mir. vorys as his campaign manager. particularly by representatives of the Republican organization of Ohio
 While it is known that Mfr. Taft en- tertains for Mir vorys high regard and is keenly appreciative of the part which his Ohio manager played in the preliminary campaign, it is, understood definitely that Mir. Vorys is not to be named as national chairman. That he will participate in the campaign in an important capacity there is little doubt.
