DECREASE LOSS or LIFE
COAL MINERS BEING TRAINED IN
RESCUE WORK.
FOUR STATIONS ESTABLISHED
Men Employed by the Frek Coal Co
are Drilled Daily In the Use Of
the oxygen Helmet.

Washington, April 5.-Four stations
for the training of miners in rescue
work have been established recently
by the big coal companies of the coun.
try as the result of demonstrations
made by the United States geological
survey at its station in Pittsburg and
its sub-station at Urbana, o., and the
experiments to be made will have the
effect of decreasing the loss of life in
mine disasters.
The most complete of the new sta.
tions is that of the Frick Coal Co.
which employs 10000 men, near Con.
nellsville. Pa. A corps OF six men is
being trained in the use Of the oxygen
helmet, device that admits artificial
breathing for two hours in the most
deadly gases. The men are being
given daily drill in an air tight room
filled with gases that will not support
life, and are learning how to use the
helmets. Whenever a disaster occurs
the rescue corps will enter the mine
and bring to the surface miners who
have been injured or are unconscious
from the effects of gases. Other sta.
tions established are at Fairmont, w.
Va. Marinette, Pa, and Zeigler, Ill.
The establishment of other similar sta.
tions Is In contemplation.

QFF|CEHOLDERS
AND POLITICS
COMMITTEE OF NATIONAL CIVIL
SERVICE REFORM LEAGUE
MAKES REPORT.
RooSEvELTs SKIRTS CLEAN
Most Of the charges Of Political AetlV.
lty on the Part Of Federal Office
Holders Are Sustained by
the Committee.

New York, Apr. 5.--The report of
the special committee authorized by
the National Civil Service Reform
league TO investigate the matter of po-
litical activity on the part of the fed
eral officeholders was made public
yesterday. The committee systematic
ally gathered current press reports of
alleged undue political activity and
sitting out the more serious accusa.
tions through correspondence with the
parties involved and by detailed in.
quiry into the companies, sought to de.
termine the truth.
Roosevelt Charges unfounded.
The conclusions of the committee
as briefly stated, are that the charges
to a great extent are sustained. A
notable exception is reported in the
allegations made during the last cam.
paign to the effect that Mr. Roosevelt
coerced certain federal officeholders
Into the support of Mr.. Taft for the
Republican nomination. With his per.
mission the lists of the presidents ap-
pointments for a considerable period
prior to the national convention we're
scanned by the committee, which finds
that evidence TO sustain the charges
made is wholly lacking. On the con.
trary, Mr.. Roosevelt is credited with
having advanced. the cause Of civil
service reform by so amending the
civil service rules as to prohibit EN-.
ployes in the competitive service from
taking part in political campaigns.
Remedy Advocated.
On the broad question of the per.
nicious activity in politics of federal
office-holders, however. the committee
finds that most undesirable situation
exists. OF the more than 300 900 fed
eral ofDceholders. one.third are not
amenable to civil service classification.
These officers often exercise power
ful influence in politics and constitute,
In the opinion of the committee, a
menace to free institutions. The rem
edy is to be found, the committee be-
lieves, in an extension Of the classified
competitive service and clearer def.
milton of the executive order governing
political activity in the unclassified
service.
