the helmets at great catastrophes in
the United States has resulted in
much greater loss of life than neces-

not suffered physical injury by an
explosion have been entombed in q

number of other instances miners
have been saved from terrible deaths

RELIEF FOR MINERS

| Washington, Oct al.--In view Of
the recent heartrendering mine disas.
ters It is refreshing to- learn from I'M
doubted authority that q life saving
service for the rescue Of miners In
time of disaster Is about to be inaug-
urated by the United States bureau OF
mines. Six specially constructed cars,
fully manned by corps of miners thor
oughly trained in rescue work and
equipped with the latest rescue APP
paratus and first aid to the injured
appliances will, within few days, be
located in the midst of the great coal
districts in different parts of the
country.
These cars are to be ready at a
moments notice. to proceed to- the
scene of disaster, where the rescue
corps, in cooperation with the state
mining officials, will do everything
possible to save entombed miners.
This is the first important step taken
by the new bureau of mines in it's
efforts to reduce the appalling loss
of life in American coal mines.
During the last year there were g.
412 miners killed in the coal mines
and 1873 injured. In the coal and
the metal mines it is estimated that
5000 men were killed and at least
10000 injured last year. 1t is ap-
paling to know that for every 1000
men employed from three to five men
are killed every year in our mines.
Facts from official sources tell us
that in foreign countries from one
to two are killed in each 1000 en-
ployed. In those European countries
where the deaths are least per 1000
men employed rescue apparatus has
been in use for some time, and 1t is
with the hope that European condi-
tons can be approached that the res
cue apparatus has peen introduced
here.
The saving of human life win be
the emergency feature OF a general
of educational work among
the miners, who will not only be 4
taught the use OF the rescue appara-
tus but also the proper way to take
care of the injured miner. There will
also be lectures on many phases of
the mining problem looking toward
greater safety. There will be little
excuse for the miner not benefiting
for the mine rescue cars will
go to the miner in his own town or
camp. Each car has been given al
specified territory, and 1t is expected |
that every mining community of anyl
Importance will be visited.

company each car and deliver illus.
trated lectures on the use of explo-
sives, electrical equipment, fire pre-
vention, sanitation and first aid surgi-
cal treatment These lectures will be
given in the cars wherever a suit
able meeting place cannot be pro.
cured. The cars win remain long
enough at each place so that miners
can go through the training necessary
to rescue work, which will be in
charge of the foreman OF the car, a
practical miner. Every effort is to be
made to encourage the miners to
form rescue corps at the mines where
they are employed, and to have the
operators equip them with rescue ap-
paratus.
The cars will each contain eight So
called oxygen helmets, supply of
oxygen IN tanks, one dozen safety
lamps, one field telephone with 1000
feet of wire, resuscitating outfits and
a small outfit for use in demonstra-
tion and actual practice of equipment
relating to first aid to the injured in
connection with. mine accidents. One
end of the car will be fitted up as an
alright room to be used in training
the men in the use OF the oxygen he'll

noxious fumes, and the miners wear

would kill without the helmets.

A P acific coast congress will meet
in San Francisco November II, Is
and 10. Various topics of vital in
terest to the west will be discussed.
Governors, senators, representatives
and prominent men from the Pacific
slope states will attend, and the mat
ter Of the exposition site, and the in
fluence at work on it, will be discuss
ed and decided upon. The west, it is
said, has done her part in securing
benefits for the balance of the ma
ton, but her own requests have not
met with flattering consideration.
The west is going to meet and talk it
over before congress meets this De-
tember.
The east is opposing the middle
western states in their deep water
ways ambition, and overtures have
been made and are being made to the
west. Meanwhile the middle west is
missing an opportunity to secure the
votes that surely will gain It's desire.

calm serious talk concerning the prof.
lens of the Pacific Slope states, tn,

cooperation, and the achievement.
the next few years may witness. The
conference will last three days. Il
has been called by Governor J. N. Gil.
lett Of California, and termed the
Pacific Coast Congress. Governors
Of eight states, officials of those states
and of three territories, including
New Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska, may
ors of all important towns within
these closely allied sections, and
prominent men from the whole west
ern country will be present when the
congress opens. 1t promises to in
augurate a new and most significant
epoch in the history of part of the
United States that thus far has not
attracted particular consideration in
the councils OF the nation.
For three days San Francisco will
make these several hundred promin-
ent westerners her guests, and the
occasion will end in a monster ban
quet. At the conclusion Of which a
speech or two will be made express
Ing the sense Of the gathering. It
may be decided to let the states work
out their problems separately, as has
been done in the past; perhaps the
congress will go on record as the
father OF new western union-a
solid west-that will work as one
when striving for benefits the west
believes 1t should have.
At any rate several issues that
have been agitatins the west for
generation will be fought out. The
attitude of the Pacific coast states
of Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, New
Mexico, Washington, Nevada, Utah,
Alaska-on an American merchant
marine, battleship fleet for the Pa
cific, and the scope of the exposition
San Francisco and San Diego hope to
give in 1915 will be determined up
On. These are things for which a
strong sentiment has been growing
for some time.
But just what the congress will do
IS a matter of speculation. In every
respect those who attend the con-
'erence are left entirely free to ex-
press their opinions and suggest flu
ure work. Care is being taken by |
hose behind the congress to select |
speakers, even. that have no dis
met political standing in their own
without entanglements,
" interests to serve. 1t will be |
clearing house of ideas.
Perhaps the most important fea-
ure of the conference will be the de-
ision as to whether or not the con-
'ress will be made an annual affair.
1 this is decided upon it will mean
hat definite policies will be agreed
pom, solidly worked for, and report
d upon each year. 1t will mean that
ne west will decide to unite in maxi
ng its requests of the nation.
The movement to call the con-
ress had its inception in the desire
I the Merchant Marine League OF
'alifornia to get an expression from
he Pacific coast states as to their
ttitude upon an American merchant
marine. But already the congress
as outgrown this one function, and
ecome a western parliament. 1t may |
ecome one of the most significant
eatures in American public life.
