We could not expect to get REINFORCE

The locks, the vital portion Of the ca

His statement that the canal could
hardly be held If the United States

TO WARN MINERS
OF BAD WEATHER
Bureau Seeks to Lessen Deaths
From Explosions.

WashingtOn.-For the purpose of
warming mine operators ut times when
explosions are likely to occur as a re-
suit of atmospheric pressure condi-
lions, the United States weather bu-
reau is notifying the mine owners
throughout the country that it will in
form them, it they so desire, when ex-
ira precautions should he taken. In
its circular the weather bureau de-
clares that "when there is Il marked
fall in atmospheric pressure the
chances of mine explosions are greatly
increased"
DR.. Joseph \. Holmes. director of
the United States bureau of mines ex-
pressed the fear that "the warnings
themselves may add to the risks and
dangers in mines where gases occur in
dangerous quantities." Investigations
have been going ON for the last two
years. he said as to the influence of
weather conditions, especially atmos-
pheric pressure us indicated by the
barometer, upon the amount of gas in
coal mines. but the results obtained to
date have not been conclusive
"As to the value OF warnings" DR..
Holmes declared. that will depend
upon the way in which they are used
If. as is hoped. they serve to make
miners and mine operators more care
full when these warnings are issued
and not less careful ut other times.
they may do good in mines where gases
occur in dangerous quantities. If, how
ever. they should serve to make miners
and operators less careful during the
extended intervals between the receipt
of such warnings. the warnings may
increase the hazards Ut mining in these
coal mines and thus indirectly be the
cause of disasters. 1t should be re-
membered that large portion Of the
mine explosions i'm the bituminous coal
fields are dust explosions, and most of
these occur in what are called nongns-
eous mines. These will hardly be in.
huenced by atmospheric pressure"
Professor Edward f. Bowie of the
weather bureau. who has studied the
questions. said there was no doubt that
atmospheric pressure increased or de-
creased danger of mine explosions, de-
pending on whether the pressure was
low or high respectively, and that in
England warnings similar to those pro-
posed here had been issued for some
years. The bureaus conclusion, he
said. had been the result OF careful oh.
servation. both abroad and in this
country.
