SAFEGUARDS IN COAL MINES Available Dev Would Diminish Loss of sal mine disaster at %00 men lost Commenting on the 10i, In whigh ne Jives, the president of the i Mine Workers, John Mitchell, sup. ted with these figures his assertion thai coal mining s the most hazardous in dustry in the United States:" Four men out of every 1,00 employed in | mines in the United States are killed very year. In the continental countries of JGrope less (han one out of every 1,000 is killed Fifteen men are fn coal mines in the United Staies each working day. There wre about 200 working days In the ye making the annual sacrifice 3,000 lives, In review of the death toll of coal mines their ler » kitled in the world today, Hartley M. Phelps says that 50 per cent of all fatal mine accldents and 3 per cent of all non-fatal accidents in this country are due to falls of roof and coal. the United States leading all natlons in this respect, with & ratio of 17, which + ught is four times that of Belglum, nearly three timey that of Great Britain and double that of Germany. Th falls of roof and it should be mentioned, are of caused by explosions weakening the “roof and walls of & shaft It conl mines were equipped with tele- phones throughout their workings,” says Mr. Mitchell, it would be possible for men entombed to let_those on the outside know the location of Mhe place in which they were gathered, or at least let them know what was their condition. And thus the work of rescue would be greatly aided “If W were equipped In all their gal- leries with plpes through which compresged alr could be forced the needed oxygen could be supplied. And in like manner it woald also be~possible to supply food, at least food fn liquid form, to sustain life for a few days coal, No mines are equipped with such devices as these, and my suggestion Is not directsd 0 the Cherry mine alone. A very simple device which would be of advantage in all mines, in the event of fire, explosion or any other accident which would cut off egress to the main shaft, . Would be the bullding of & number of com- partments, each large enough for 100 or more men {0 gather in, so Arranged that the doors could be closed, making them air If these compartnents were con- nected with alr pipes to the surface they would be havens of safety for great num- bers of men killed n mines, not by explo- sions themselves, ‘biit By the_afterdamp that always accumulates after expiosions. This 1s done In Buropean mines, and has been the means of saving large numbers of men entombed through t/ln or explosion.”
