U.S.. COAL MINES TAKE
3,125L|vES IHAYEAR
Geological Survey Statistics Show
5,3I4 Persons Were Injured
in 1907.
WORST IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Death Rate Among Miners in That
State Is 1885 Per Thousand
Blasts Not Greatest Danger.

Accidents in coal mines of the Unit
ed States during the last calendar year
resulted in the death of 3, 125 men and
injury to 5,314 more, according to sta
tistics made public by the geological
survey.
The death record among the coal
miners during the year was, greater by
1883 than in 1906, and is said to have
been tne worst year in the history of
the coal industry. The figures do not
represent the full extent of the disas-
tiers, as reports were not received from
States having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported for 1907 the
heaviest death rate, 1875 per thousand
employees, and that State also showed
the lowest production for each life lost
$500 tons. New Mexico stood next
and production of 1922 tons for each
life lost Alabama was third, with Il
death rate of ID per thousand and n
production of %, $50 tons for each life
lost.
Missouri had the lowest death rate,
heading the roll of honor with 90 and
499,I42 tons of coal mined for each life
lost.
Statistics do not bear out the popu-
lar idea that most mine disasters re-
suit from explosions. OF the total num-
Der reported during the last year 947
deaths and ;II3 injuries resulted from
gas and dust explosions and POI deaths
and 416 injuries were caused by pow
der explosions.
The chief cause Of death among the
miners, the report claims, was the fall
ing of mine roofs and coal. Such disas-
tiers caused 1.l22 deaths and 2,141 in
juries.
L. w. Parker, chief statistician OF
the survey. asserts that much benefit
will result from the action of Con-
gress i'll appropriating S150.0o0 to in
vestigate mine disasters and take steps
TO decrease the number of accidents
each year. He says one of the greatest
needs of the coal mining industry is
the enforcement of military discipline
in the operation of the mines.

A successful train robbery has been

Caro- OF the Unemployed.

Reports continue TO come in from the
various charity organizations in Ameri-
can cities telling of gloomy outlook for
the coming winter on account of the vast
number of unemployed men and women.
AS bearing directly on this situation the
Bureau of Labor at Washington has just
issued report on the policy of Euro
pean countries toward the unemployed.
Germany has made great strides by in
Producing public employment bureaus and
by taking care of tramps. In Belgium,
Netherlands and Denmark the incorrigi-
bic idle have been forced largely into
work homes. where they are, however,
we'll treated. All the countries of Europe
have appointed special commissions to deal
with this problem. Colonies for the I'M
employed are favorite remedies and pub
lie relief works are being started in some
places.
