LIFE SAVING CORPS
FOR RESCUE WORK
IN COAL MINES
STATIONS TO BE LOCATED
IN PRINCIPAL FIELDS
Important Project Set on Foot
by Geological Survey With
View to Minimizing Disasters
in Underground Workings,

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased WiTel
Washington. Dee 27.-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 nrinCi-
pal coal fields OF the country, in ad-
ditiOn to the experiment station now
located at Pittsburg. 1t Will be the
purpose of the experts to teach the
miners and mine bosses how TO use
the most approved apparatus for res
cue.
Government mining engineers will
be assigned to the stations and will be
ready at moments 5 notice to go to
any disaster They will be equipped
with oxygen helmets, which will en-
able them 10 enter a mine at once,
even though ii is filled with gas or
smoke
1t is the intention to have every
station fitted up with an air-tight
room, where gas can be generated.
The coal mining companies have been
invited to send picked men to these
stations, whore they win be trained
by government experts in the use OF
oxygen helmets.
one Of the stations will be at Ur-
bana, Ill. This station will take care
of Illinois, Indiana Michigan, Iowa
northern Missouri and Western Ken
lucky
A second station viii. probably be
located at Ration, y. NJ, to take care
Of New Mexico Colorado, Utah wy
oming and Montana The largest coal
output in New MeXiso and Colorado
comes from the Trinidad field. which
is immedia accessible to Ration
Another station is suggested for this
district, to BE- located at Salt Lake
CITY This will be central or the sew
eral Utah fields. and will be accessible
to the Montana fields and also the
Washington fields
At these stations not only will OPP
portunlty be given the miners to be-
come familiar with the apparatus, but
safety lamps Of all designs VIII be
tested for their general safety and et-
ficiency in the presence of the miners
and mine owners.
