SAFETY FOR MINERS
SIMPLE DEVICES THAT MIGHT be
OF MUCH VALUE.
Recent Disaster at Cherry Hill Has
; Led Writer In Eastern Journal to
Make Suggestions for Avoid.
ING Catastrophes.

In reading the accounts Of various
recent coal mine disasters, It occurs
TO me that certain devices for protect
ing life should be employed under
such conditions which. from all &C.
counts, appear not to have been uttl.
lied in such cases.
The action of the miners at Cherry
Hill in shutting themselves up In one
of the mine compartments, by filling
up the opening with earth and other
material, suggests the ACCESSIBILITY OF
installing heavy asbestos curtains
(like the fire curtains used in the
aters), or other similar means OF cut
ting off connection Of one part of a
mine from another. These curtains
could be installed in such way as to
be removed from workings that be-
come exhausted or are not used
Another suggestion is that each Sec
ton of the mine workings be provided
with emergency telephone stations.
Telephone systems. ] believe, have
been installed for business purposes
in some mines. Such facilities would
enable entombed miners to communi-
cate with the outside and afford in
valuable assistance in case of acci-
dent.
The temporary lighting Of workings
by electricity also afford greater
safety, and would doubtless be very
valuable in case of accident
In mines without water supplies, 1t
would seem feasible to keep all sec
lions of the workings supplied with
readily available water. so that, In
case of an accident, If the miners were
cut OF from any section of the mine,
at least sufficient water would be at
hand to meet their needs.
1t would seem desirable, also, to
have certain escape shafts located in
the safest parts of the mine. in Sec
lions which could quickly be cut of
in case of fire or explosion. They
should be special shafts, to be used
for the escape of the men in case Of
accident. They could be provided with
iron ladders or hand-hoisting appa-
ratus, If necessary. and would CORE
spond somewhat to the fire escapes of
large modern buildings.
1t would seem that devices like
! these, which may be used in some Of
the more progressive mines, should be
installed in all coal mines where any
considerable number of men are re-
quired to work. 1t WEI be as rea-
sonable to require the ndidare ion OF
such appliances, along WV. -cw
,ssaore generally in use. suCsa.n are H.
tilating fans, ETC.. as 1t is to require
devices for the protection of life in
large buildings and on the railroads.
The installation of such appliances
should be supervised by good en-
gineers, and the devices should be in
spected and tested frequently enough
to insure their efficiency. They should
be SO installed that an explosion or a
fall Of earth will not put them out of
commission. How extensively are
such appliances used? Can any one
answer the question Washington

Gaming Devices

In a letter sent to the board of super.

citation unequivocally protested against
the reintroduction of slot machines into
the city, declaring that they were moi
only menace to morals, but to bust
ness. The letter reads:
Understanding that certain petit
tlons have been made to your
honorable board asking that the
use of nickel in the slot machines
be again permitted in San Fran
cisco, we desire to file our en-
phatlc protest against such per-
mission being granted, in case such
action is being considered
The playing of slot machines is
SIMPLY gambling and makes gam

is not simply question of morals:
II is also question of business. AS
an evidence of this, members of
this association have stated to us
that If the use of slot machines
is permitted, it is their Intention
to notify employees that any one
found playing the machines will be
discharged.
The city has succeeded in rid
ding itself of slot machines and it
would be a step backward to per
nit their use again. We therefore
urge your honorable body to deny
this petition.
