THE MINES DISASTERS
TO Be Probed BY An Act OF
Congress
STURGESS PRESENTS THE BILL
introduced in Congress on Thursday
Calling for Special Leg
islation.

Washington, d. c., January 9.-The
appalling loss of life and property
through explosions in soft-coal mines
IA to be made the subject of special
investigation by the house OF repre-
sentatives. A resolution was offered
in the house today by Colonel Geo.
r. Huff. chairman Of the committee
on mines and mining, authorizing the
committee of which he Is the head to
conduct the inquiry and after hearing
witnesses, to report remedy by bill
or otherwise.
The resolution was not drawn until
after the Colonel had received
Speaker Cannon's approval. Chairman
Huff is president of one Of the largest
coal mining companies in the world
The resolution is the result OF the
introduction of large number OF
bills to create bureau of mines and
mining as a part of the department
of commerce and labor, to appropri-
ate money for the establishment OF
schools of mines and mining in the
various state universit es and kindred
suggestions.
The suggestion that schools for
mine and mining be added to the
state universities was made by rep
resentative Sturgiss of West Virginia
mines are situated.
The Sturgiss bill is to give each
stae university $1,000 this year and
$4,000 each additional year for the
next four years to be used for the es-
Establishment and maintenance OF
schools for mining Ills contention is
that for the whole forty-six states the
appropriation amounting in the aggre-
gate to about one million, two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, would be
less than the losses caused this win
ter by the explosions ir Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Alabama.
