Report Of Mining Commission.

Denver.-Main causes OF coal mine
accidents, according to the Shafroth
commission, headed by Victor c. Alder
son, president of the State School of
Mines: Carelessness and ignorance
on the part of miners, mostly foreign
ers, in violating the. accepted laws Of
safety; lack of discipline in almost
every mine visited, and, indifference
of one division of mining operators to
safety of mines. Main recommenda-
tions: Establishment of a board of
coal mining commissioners that shall
supervise all coal mines in the state;
establishment by coal companies at
own expense of inspectors to patrol
mines and enforce rules; creation Of
mining institutes" to instruct coal
miners in their duties; that the pro-
posed commission hold examinations
and issue certificates to mine superin-
tendents. company inspectors. fore
men. fire bosses and "shot-firers." and
that none but certified men be en-
ployed in such positions; division OF
state into seven districts with deputy
inspector in charge of each; that res
cue stations be provided in coal
centers; and that a revolution take
place in the prevention of fires and ex-
plosions in mines through the use of
fireproof materials in construction and
in ventilation; and that one cent per
ton of all coal mined be paid by oper-
ators into fund to help meet eX-
penses of proposed commission and the
increased inspection cost. And the
added cost to the mines will mean az
tual saving in freedom from catas-
trophe and accidents.

PACKERS MUST
FACE CHARGES
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY Will.
kERsoN ISSUES STATE ~
MENT.
CIVIL SUITS DISMISSED
MUST NOT INTERFERE WITH
CRIMINAL CASES NOW
PENDING.

Chicago.-Assistant United States
District Attorney James H. Wilkerson
has issued statement regarding his
action in sweeping aside civil suits to
make way for criminal prosecution of
the men composing the National
Packing Company.
Mr.. Wilkerson says there is but one
reason for the dismissal of the civil
case, and that is the desire of the gov
erpment for immediate and vigorous
prosecution of the packers.
"The petition against the packers"
says Mr.. Wilkerson, "was filed on the
twenty first of March, 1910. After
ward there was grand jury investi
nents were returned, charging some
OF the defendants in the bill with
criminal violations of the antitrust
laws
Since the return of those indict-
nents the defendants in the equity
case have been asked several eXten-
slons of time within which to answer
and those extensions have always
been granted.
ut was thought to be fully under
stood by both the government and the
attorneys for the packers that there
were to be no further proceedings in
the equity case until the trial of the
criminal cases.
THE purpose of the dismissal of the
equity cases is to make clear the posi-
ton of the government that the trial
of the criminal cases is to be vigor-
ously pushed and is to be interfered
with in no way whatever by the pen
dency of the equity cases in the Cir
cult Court.
1T may be that resort to a peti-
ton in equity to enjoin future viola
tons will be entirely unnecessary if
the governments contentious are es-
tablished in the criminal cases.
"The attorney general, therefore, di-
lected the dismissal of the equity
case without prejudice. Further pro-
oeedings to enjoin future violations
can of course be instituted if those
proceedings should be found neces-
sary to maintain fully the position of
the government in this litigation
