MINE WARNINGS
RECORDS INSTEAD OF PRINTED NOTICES (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 30th January, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, 29th January. The manager of a South Wales coal mine after hearing a wireless broadcast 5.0.5., was convinced that warnings were more effective through the ear than the eye, as the printed notices were read once and then overlooked. He had gramophone records made, and when the miners begin duty they arc received with: “Hello! Manager calling. Safety First. Search your pockets for matches. See safety lamps are in good order.” Minor accidents have already been reduced. The Ministry of Mines is considering the adoption of the method throughout the country.
