CAN STOP NINE ACCIDENTS.
Ventilation Of English Coal Workings
So Perfected That Gas Explosions
Are Now Almost Unknown.


English coal mine owners have
proved that II is possible 10 do away
with the most. dreaded cause Of mine
accidepts-gas explosions. AS the re-
suit of efforts of the past five or six
years to improve ventilation, explo.
slons In English mines are now SO rare
as to make them the smallest factor
In the list of fatality causes.
This result has been brought about
in spite Of the fact that larger
amount of gas is generated In English
mines than here. The showing is espe-
cially important In view OF the fright
full accidents of recent date In Pennsyl.
vania mines and the governments re.
port Of a greatly increased mine death
list.
That mine operators IN the United
States have not kept mp with improve
ments In ventilation was recently as
serted by the Engineering and Mining
Journal. Fans known to be faulty.
this paper says. are installed ip prac-
tlcaliy the same way that has prevail
ed for twenty years.
AZ an example Of the advances made
abroad in the use of small but very
powerful fans the Journal refers to
the Pelton coIliery. Durham county.
England. where one seventy-fve inch
fan. known as the Sirocco. was In.
stalled to do the same work performed
by two fans Of the type still used In
the United States. One of the old
fans is thirty-six feet and the other
thirty feet In diameter. but the newer
type of fan handles about $1,000 cubic
feet Of air per minute more than the
two old fans together.
In appearance the fans that have
practically done away with explosions
In English mines resemble drum with
a large number Of narrow blades ar
ranged slantingly around the inner
circumference. There are sixty-four
blades. each about one-sixteenth Of
the diameter of the drum. 1t looks
like anything but a fan, but for one
with diameter of about thirty inches
the output runs as high as 1S.T00 cubic
feet of air per minute.
Owing to their small size. coupled
with great efficiency. these centrifugal
fans can be placed underground in
workings that are not adequately ven.
tllated. They have been Installed at
the Ellsworth and vintondalc collicries
In Pennsylvania and In the .coppc!
mines of the United Verde company Of
Arizona, proving that adequate ventila'
ton chn be had II mine owners viii
abandon systems that. as the engineer.
Ing authority already quoted says. "arc
built simply because fans of similar
pattern have been used before"
This indicates one way in which .
large proportion Of the 1000 deaths
and Injuries caused annually in coal
mine accidents can be prevented.

WILL ASK ENDORSEMENT OF
CENTRAL LABOR UNION AND
ALLIANCE IN EFFORT TO RE-
STORE FORMER WAGE.

The streetcar mems union will
tonight submit revised new scale
to the central labor union for the
endorsement of that body and the
same scale will be submitted later
to the building trades alliance. The
union will then go to the Traction
Co. with the endorsement of or
ganized labor on a demand for re-
storation of the scale prevailing be-
fore the financial stringency.
The increase asked for will
amount to at least 10 per cent, and
possibly more. The men also ex-
pect to be granted the concession
of first chance on the interurban
runs, something the city men have
not hitherto enjoyed. The interur-
ban trains have been manned by
railroad men almost exclusively.
Request for a new scale was sub
mitted several days ago with
draft of what the men wanted. Sa-
turday night majority OF the
union voted to withdraw this scaie
and revise 1t. The first was framed

standing that 1t goes into effect
May 1. 1t Is figured that more is to
be gained in this manner than in
making fight over concessions.
BY request Pres. McCracken, oil
the central labor union, assisted in
framing the latest scale. Other
members of the committee are
Pres. Durand of the carmen's union,
Hicks and Garst for the platform
men, and Howell and Cliff for the
barn men.
The carmen now are earning an
average of $7S per month, ii is
stated, and they plan to increase
this by little better at least than
the 10 per cent they were reduced
during the scare. Business is back
to the old normal, with every pros
pect of greater summer street
travel than ever.
