Miners PREPAREDNESS
aim OF U. S. BUREAU
Code to Enable Workers to Cope with
Disaster Sent Out.

A plea for preparedness at coal and
metal mines, so that II a disaster comes
and imprisons many miners the officials
may have a definite plan for action In
saving life, is outlined In a report Just
issued by the Bureau Of Mines Of the
Department of the Interior. and which is
being sent to practically all the mines in
the United States.
The Bureau Of Mines has aided IN res
cue work at many mine explosions and
has been instrumental in saving the lives
Of many men. but In almost every in
stance where there has been O great dis
astet the bureaus officials say they
have found great confusion prevailing.
with much valuable time wasted before
a proper rescue organization could be
effected. There has also been a serious
absence Of the equipment necessary for
recovery Of the men entombed.
Lack OF such preparedness, the bureau
says, no doubt has often resulted In an
unnecessary loss OF life among the i'm
pFisoned men and also among the rescue
force.
The bureau has formulated a code
which provides for an organization at
each mine that would become automati-
cally active the moment there is q dis
aster. 1t also gives q list Of the neces-
sary materials to have on hand at all
times and outlines the most important
duties for these organizations during
such emergencies
