TRAIN Miners IN
SAFETY METHODS
GOVERNMENT TAKES STEPS TO
MINIMIZE MINE DISASTERS-12,-
900 IN TRAINING ANNUALLY

| Washington-Twelve thousand Goa
| miners are being trained annually by
! the government in safety methods o1
mining, rescue and first-aid work
according to an estimate made by
the department of the interior through
the bureau of mines.
Ten mine rescue stations and ten
safety stations are now being main
tanned throughout the mining sections
of the country that assist in rescue
and recovery operations in mine dis
asters. In addition the interior de-
partment maintains nine rescue auto
mobile trucks that have proved of
great value for quickly rushing to
nearby accidents and for mobile
training units in regions not easily
reached by rail.
The miners trained by the govern
ment form a nucleus of safety crews
in the mining industry and most com
pan1es now maintain efficient and
well organized safety departments
with privately operated rescue sta
tions. A useful agency in maintain
ing interest among miners is the
Joseph A. Holmes Safety association,
w WhlCh w do VI 3 cllLcu ny Juc Dul eau VI
mines of the interior department and
now has chapters all over. the
country.
The purpose of the organization is
to prevent accidents, improve health
conditions, facilitate training in mine
rescue, first aid and safety methods
and promote recreationa1 activities.
Government engineers also investi-
gate all coal mines in which disast-
rous explosions or fires occur, and
make a detailed study of the condi-
tions to determine the way in which
the fire or explosion originated Re-
concentrations are then made to the |
mine operator, as to what steps he
should take for preventing any future |
recurrence
In the past IA years, 300 coal mine
disasters have been studied, and the
records constitute an invaluable
guide on the causes and mode of oc-
,urrence. Large scale tests Of the
of coal dust and mine
gases, conducted over many years, in
he departments experimental mine
lear Pittsburgh, the only under
ground mine in the world devoted to
work, have conclusively
demonstrated to mine operators the
act that coal dust is an explosion
lazard, alone or with gas present.
The interior department also has
the exact degree of ex-
losibility Of representative dusts
rom hundreds of mines, and the pro-
ortions Of inert dust which must be
dded to render the coal dust harm
ess, the effectiveness Of sprinkling
he roadways and walls, adding mois-
ure to the intake air, and other {
leans Of combating the menace.

several cents above the first quota
stions on new wheat, but few farmers
have been selling, and then only in
cases where a little money was need
cd to meet immediate expenses. This
Is due partly to the fact that the farm
ers are too busy with the harvesting
to give any attention to marketing
their grain, and partly to a feeling
that the general agitation for relief
Tor the wheat farmer may be pro-
ductive Of results.
The harvest is progressing rapidly,
with ideal weather conditions, and it
Is estimated that another three weeks

have been possible all through the
season, to use few more men, the
help situation has not been acute,
and has not delayed the harvest work
to any appreciable extent
The greatest hindrance to the har-
vesting has been the smut explosions,
which have been more general in
some parts of the country than In the
Immediate Moscow district, three ma

siderable number in Whitman coun-
ty. In almost every instance, one or
more men, usually the separator
