Georgia can not properly be compared
with that Of other states, however, as
"a great considerably more
than half-are convicts leased by the
state to the mining companies. Most
of the men worked nine hours day.
but the statistics Of production show
that the average output per man each
day during 1908 was only Isl tons,
compared with III in 1907 and 1862 in
1906. The average production per man
for the year was 395 tons, compared
with 44o tons in 1907 and 1905 tons in
1906. This low efficiency is explained
BY the fact that the convicts employed
in the mines have had no experience as
coal miners except during the periods
Of their Incarceration. Where convicts
are employed the operations are not SUBJ

There are no underwriting machines
