Senator Knox.

WASHINGTON, March 30th, (Special),
The appalling loss of life in the coal
mines of this country is to be stopped
if the government of the United States
can accomplish it. Congress has voted
an appropriation of sos, 600 for the pur-
pose of conducting Investigations to
ascertain the cause of mine explosions,
and once the cause is found, the means
of preventing them is easy.
Senator Knox Of Pennsylvania in
sisted that this investigation must not
be confined to the territories as was
first proposed, but that the govern
ment experts in seeking information
must have an unlimited field. 1t was
contended that the amendment of the
Pennsylvania Senator was an invasion
of state rights, but Mr.. Knox denied
this. He argued that the Federal Gov
ernment had right to gather infor-
nation anywhere it pleased. Said he:
''The loss of life and accidents in the
United States far exceed those of any
other country where the mining indus
try is being conducted. This proposed
investigation is for the purpose of al
lowing the hundreds of thousands of
men who toll in the darkness beneath
the surface of the earth to get the bene-
fit of all the protection that all the
knowledge gathered from all possible
sources will furnish.n
Senator Knox's proposition was adj
opted and the result will be broad,
thorough investigation by government
experts that will bring about the adop-
tion of safety methods IN mining that
will save thousands of lives and mil
lions of prOpertY.
