.1oRTALIrY FROM ACCIDENTS.

The repor.s f the Mine inspectors Bureau OF
the state Of Pennsylvania show that in the last
decade the average yearly fatalities in the an
thracie coal mines 43I, and that for the year
1901 there 4Sf fatal and l,256 non-fatal acci-
dents. this means that for every 1890 tons 80
coal brought 30 the surface one person IS killed
and more than seriously injured II means mat
for each day the mines in operation more tnan
two lives are sacrihed and more than five persons
are injured. Indeed. II Is matter OF record that
eight times as many men and boys are killed and
injured annually in the anthracite coal mines Of
PENNSYLVANIA as killed and wounded from
the American ranks in the Spanish American War
in Cuba.
Yet if one were credit the stories that appear
io the columns Of the daily press, II would seem
that the men who constantly risk their lives work
ing in bow els OF the earth were lawess class
who have high conception of the duties OF
American citizenship; that they have been grossly
maliened is proved by the records of the police
courts and the testimony of the chiefs of police
departmeuts OF the four largest mining communi-
ties In the anthracite field. namely. Scranton,
Wjlkcsaarrc. EazletOn and ShamOkn. The re
ports Of these cities and the statements OF the
burgess and chiefs Of police prove that there has
been less infractior Of the law and fewer arrests
during the time the strike has been in progress
than for a like period preceding IT; in fact, per
son RAISING through the coal fields and mining
towns of Northeastern Pennsylvania would not
know that great Industrial contest Is In progress
but for the presence OF a perfect army OF coal ana
iron police who proudly display their reVolvers
and rifles and faUnt their authority in an effoIt
to overave peaceful strikers or provoke them to
acts Of violence.
