First Aid To Injured Miners.
All of the big companies in the anthracite region
are taking steps to lessen accidents in and about
the mines and to alleviate the suffering of those
who may chance to be injured. In addition to the
establishment of emergency hospitals in each mine
prominent surgeons, experienced in the handling
of accident cases, have been giving instructions to
the employes on first aid to the injured. The
Philadelphia & Reading has started another innovation
that is likely to be adopted hy the other corporations.
General Manager VV. J. Richards has
determined to organize a "First Aid Corps" at
each colliery. The duties of this corps, composed
of picked men who have undergone special
instructions for the purpose, will be to attend to
the victims of all accidents before they are taken
to a hospital or their homes. It is likely that
the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. will establish a similar
corps after its employes at Wilkesbarre and in the
Wyoming region have heard the course of lectures
on "First Aid to the Injured," now being given
by Dr. Walter Lathrop of the State Hospital at
Wilkesbarre.
