THE COST OF COAL In BLOOD

Secretary David Ross. of tho State
Board of Labor of Illinois, has just is
sued his annual statement which shows
that the coal mines of that state in 1909
produced AZ, 272. 451 tons of coal which
had home value of $50. 3O3, 757 and that
to get this out of the ground and ready
for market the labor of ~, 733 men and
boys was necessary. Then follows this
significant paragraph:
During 1909 the number of wives
made widows was 1875, while i'll 1908
the number was 80. The number of
children left fatherless during 1909 was
29S, compared with 223 for the year 1908.
1t is such paragraphs as the last that
make the reports of mining operations
mournful reading. We ut once think
of Cherry, where eleven more bodies
were brought up Friday that in dry
ana warm part of the mine had become
mummified in the four months they
had lain there since the explosion that
killed almost 300 men.
The figures in Mr.. Ross report are
only part of large whole. In the
United States. in the years from 1901 to
1903 the number killed in the mines
was 1G, 134, and the number injured
3,Ol1, which imparts certain awful
character to this common and most
necessary commodity that is hauled
about in big wagons and dumped into
our cellars, solemnly impressing us
with the fact that part of the price of
every ton of coal we use is in the blood
of men and in tears of the widow and
the orphan.
1t is due to the American carelessness
of human life, that is shown in SO many
other ways. We would all be willing
to pay more money for our coal if this
cost in blood and tears could be elimin-
ated. 1t can never be entirely elimin-
ated. for mining of necessity must al
ways remain hazardous occupation,
but we have it before our very eyes
that it can be reduced by more than
one-half. The death rate in our mines
Is $50 per thousand per year. In
Europe the is 1.5O per thousand, and
John Mitchell, former president of the
United Mine Workers, says in an article
an the current Golfers that the rate
here can be brought down to that just
AS soon rs we are willing to take the
pains to safeguard the lives of miners
that they take in Europe. He attri.
butes the fatalities and the accidents
to tho employment of unskilled men,
to inadequate mining laws, to laxity
i'll the enforcement of such laws as we
have. and to failure to put protective
equipment and devices in the mines.
The miners are seeking to get con-
Rress and the states to enact laws
regulating the operation of mines,
based on the laws that have reduced
mine casualties in European countries
to minimum. Every user Of coal |
would be in better conscience If these |
opportunities were needed. st. Joseph |
