~ a..sENT TO KY. MINEy5


Kentucky has extensive coal min
ing industries and has been singu-
larly free from serious mine eXplo-
sions. 1t is not probable that the
methods of work in Kentucky mines
are superior to those of Pennsyl-
yania, for instance, or that inspec-
lions are more effective. Any ad-
vantage on either score, doubtless,
would be to Pennsylvania. In the
matter of men, however, Kentucky
would make a decidedly better show
ing. The miners of Kentucky are for
the most part natives, men far su-
perior in intelligence to the foreign
hordes with which the mines of some
other States are populated. This may
account to a large degree for the
Immunity from disasters in Ken
lucky On the other hand, the pres
ence in Pennsylvania mines of num-
ters of uneducated, almost uncivilzed
foreigners, to say the least, has nc
tendency to diminish the number OF
accidents
Rules and regulations are of little
avail to men who cannot read OF
comprehend them. Lack of informa
ton is not recommendation for any
sort Of a workman. This is a feature
of the case which deserves some
attention from those who are seeking
to make coal mining less perilous.-
