The BLOOD ON THE COAL

When you have burned 5000 tons of
West Virginia coal you will have paid
the price of coal miners life, for in
West Virginia one man is killed by ac-
cident for each 5000 tons mined. Other
states vary but the coal that keeps
us comfortable has a tiny bloodstain
on every lump.
Accidents in the coal mines of the
United States in 1907 resulted in death
to 1925 men and injury to 5,316 more
an increase of 1893 in the number of
deaths and SIG in the number of in
juries over the record of 1906. This
record marks the year, in all other re-
the worst in the history of the coal
mining Industry of the country.
Even the above figures however, fail
to represent the full extent of the dis
asters, for and statistical statement
that attempts to cover coal mining ac-
cidents for the entire United States is
necessarily somewhat incomplete. The
United States geological survey, by
which the figures for the country are
published, does not collect the flor
nation directly. but obtains it thru the
courtesy of state or territory mine in
spcetors or other officials who COM
pile data concerning accidents and
their causes and effects. A number of
the coal-producing states have no Of
ficials charged with these duties, and
one or two of the state officials failed
to reply to the inquiries sent out by
the survey. In 1906 returns were re-
ceived from twenty-one states and ter
ritories; In 1907 only eighteen reported.
The reports received indicate death
rate per thousand employees of 3.31 in
1906 and 4.S6 In 1907, and the number
Of tons mined for each life lost de-
creased from 194.95O to 145,471 The
state which had the lowest death rate
per thousand (O.95) in 1907 was Mis-
souri,, where 499,742 tons of coal We're
mined for each life lost Michigan
was second on the roll of honor as far
as death rate per thousand employees
was concerned, and Kentucky was sec
ond in the number of tons mined for
each life lost. The death rate in Mich
igan was LIS per thousand; in Ken
lucky it was 1.ss. Kentucky mined
336.035 tons of coal for each life lost:
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-09-25

Michigan mined 2so,ss7 tons. Arkan-
sas reported death rate of 1877 in
1907, with 1882 tons mined for each
life lost, and Utah, with death rate of
272, mined 324,601 tons for each life
lost. West Virginia reported the larg-
est death rate in 19O7--12.a5 per thous-
and--and the lowest production for
each life lost-65,s6a tons. New Mex
leo stood next to West Virginia, with a
death rate of 1145 and a production Of
1892 tons for each life lost, and Ala
bama was next, with a death rate of
To per thousand and production of
92,535 tons for each life lost.

study of theology in preparation for the
Methodist ministry.
His first pastorate vas on Long

tor. He was ordained as a Baptist
minister February 25, 1901, after which
he received a unanimous call to the
Bloomipgdale Baptist Church, thu.
State, Where he did a successful work
for four years. On November 5. 1905
he accepted a unanimous call to the

HYDRANT FROZEN; LADDER SHORT.

A. partition on the third floor OF

yesterday and when the firemen ar
rived they found that no ladder long
enough to reach the third floor was on
the truck. The new truck is stored
at the Edison works ready to put into
commission when the defective new fire
house on Valley road is put into COM
mission, so Orange was called on for
aid, and sent a truck with the neces-
sary ladders to reach the fire. The
flremen were also hampered with a
frozen hydrant at the start and had
to stretch a line to another one. The
blaze started first in an ante-room, and
it is thought that someone dropped a
lighted cigar near it Saturday night
when the meeting of. the Republican
Club was in progress, and it set fire
to the woodwork. The damage will
amount to about $500.
