COAL OUTPUT OF
PENNSYLVANIA
VALUE OF THE TOTAL PRopuc-
pucTloN LAST YEAR AMOUNT
ED TO seso,ooo,oo.

EaFHHar
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 6.-The
annual report of James 2. Roderick.
chief of the state Department Of
Mines, for the year 1905 shows that
Pennsylvania continues to lead the
mining industry Of the country, pro-
ducing practically all Of the anthra-
cite and 80 per cent. of the bitumin-
coal.
The total coal output of Pennsyl-
vania for 1905 represents a value at
the mines Of about $3.50. 0O0.0 900 and
at points OF distribution of about
S650,OOO,00O. The anthracite produc-
ton was 78.647,02O short tons and the
bituminous 119,3e1,514 short tons. In.
producing the tonnage of the year the
total loss of life in and about the
anthracite mines was ga and in and
about the bituminons mines 479.
The report states that from 1881 to
1905, inclusive, 4,425 miners and q
,452 miner laborers were killed in
Pennsylvania, and that more than half
OF these fatalities are due to negli.
gence, carelessness, r~ecklessness and
ignorance on the part Of the victims.
The report recommended the enact
ment Of a uniform employment Law.
requiring IA years of age as the mini
mum for boy laborers. The present
law allows boys to work in and about
the bituminous mines at 10 years of
age. and requires a minimum Of 16
years inside the anthracite mines and
IA years outside.
The report states that nothing but
stringent laws that will reach both
employer and empioye with penalty
clauses attached that a be enforced.
will prevent the sacrifice of lives in
the coal mines Of Pennsylvania" and
suggests that a commission of experts
be appointed to prepare a mining law
that will be comprehensive enough to
cover the needs of both the anthracite
and bituminous mines.
