Our country has been strangely
backward in care for the lives of
workers in the mines, and up to this
time has seemed to have no inclina-
tion to learn by the experience of
older countries. 1t is said that in
the several states the number killed
in mining has been from two to four
times greater for each 1000 miners
employed than in foreign countries.
At last the government has walked up,
and Great Britain, Germany and
Belgium have been asked 10 send
over experts to help us safeguard
the lives Of miners. The call has
been needed, the experts are COM
ing. and out OF this move will prob.
ably grow experimental stations
such as the European countries
have long had for lessening the death
rate in mining.
