SAFER COAL MINING.
British And French Scientists
To Co-operate.
PROBLEMS TO BE STUDIED.
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, October 22,
The British Government recently made proposals to the French Government for a scheme of co-operation between the official organisations in the two countries engaged in research work directed toward securing greater safety in coalmining. These proposals have been cordially accepted and the scheme is now to be put into operation.
On the British side the technical arrangements will be in the hands of the Safety in Mines Research Board. They will include a full interchange of information acquired by research into the prevention of accidents and by experience in the two countries, including unpublished as well as published reports. The respective research organisations will mutually agree as to which problems each could best study alone and which could more effectively be studied jointly.
By this means it should be possible to save money and to expedite the work." There will probably also be an occasional interchange of skilled research workers for work which requires special experience.
