''ln view of the fact thats the
large majority of men who are
injured in mining are without
insurance, it has been decided "a
adopt system of insurance at

Each man pays so cents. per
month toward an aid fund, J In
case Of accident after the first
five days he receives .$25 per
month, and in case of death $500
