Save Life by
Forbidding Use of Rubber
Tubing to Gas Pipes
Ru Associated Press

New York, Dec. 29.-Steps to save
life by forbidding the use of rub
Der gas tubing are contemplated by
the city authorities. it was learned
to-day. AS the result of disclosures
by the medical examiners office
that most of the city's accidental
asphyxiations in cold weather are
due to leaky rubber tubing connect
ing pipes with gas heaters. an ordi-
nance has been introduced in the
Board of Aldermen requiring metal
tubing or pipe to be used.
Forty-siX accidental deaths from
gas occurred in New York city dur
ing November last and forty-three
in the corresponding month q year
ago. the, figures being more than
doubled with the arrival of winter.
Medical examiners found that tub
ing was the cause in three-fourths
of the cases. In many instances the
rubber was worn by use so that it
leaked and gas flooded the house
while the family was asleep. Some
times a member of the household
steps on the tube inadvertently and
shuts off the flow of gas for an in
stant. Then he retires and the gas
flows on without ignition.

which they make concerning the end

evidenced, of these predictions shows
that the prophets are of unbalanced

There are very many theories

Bituminous Operators
Discuss Attitude on
Commissions Action

Chicago. Dec. Representatives
OF coal operators in the bituminous
fields met here to-day to discuss the
attitude to be adopted toward the
findings of the commission appoint
ed by President Wilson to adjust
wages of miners after settlement of
the recent nationwide strike.
The operators assert that they had
not committed themselves to accept
ing or endorsing any decision the
Presidents commission may reach.
Most of the mine owners opposed
any raise in miLers' wages above the
fourteen per cent. set by DIR. III. A.
Garfield, former Federal Fuel Ad-
min:strator. which became the pre-
liminary wage advance when the
strike was settled at indianapolis by
Attorney General Palmer and the
union leaders. They contended that
any increase in wages above the
fourteen per cent, would raise the
cost of production and finally the
consumer would be obliged to pay a
higher price for coal.
