New Haven, January 15.-A pledge which had been signed and which aroused the indignation of local flor ists, was made public today. It in part said:
 We agree that the ladies whom we entertain shall wear no flowers at any of the festivities of Prom week.
 The various entertainments beginning with todays theatricals are then enum- erated and the pledge further says that by affixing names mutual confidence in the sincerity of the agreement not to have flowers worn by the ladies is in spired.
 It has been the custom for juniors to bedeck the rooms of their girls with flowers, present their sweethearts with huge masses of violets and to see that the chaperons have all the flowero they can conveniently carry.

 You can see from these figures that nearly three-afths of fatal accidents last wear were caused by falls of rock and coal. Ninety per cent of these accidents could have been prevented If the proper precaution had been taken by the miner and mine officials.
 This department is aware of the fact that it Is the miners duty to keep his working place safe, but we also know from experience and observation that the miners become careless and indifferent as to the dangers that surround them. There fore the mine foreman or some one in authority should visit the working places each day to see that they are securely timbered and warn the miners Of the dan ger caused by the failure to properly tim Der their working places. If this is done, we are sure that the number of fatal accidents that occur from falls of rock and coal will be greatly reduced, as well as protecting the property of the company by preventing the rooms from caving in before they are worked out. This department is going to keep a record of all mines in this state this year, as to ventilation, drainage, haulage ways, number of accidents, companies operating and the name of superintendent and mine foreman in charge The miner
  First, second, third and fourth class, and will be published in the annual report of this department. We are going to publish the names of superintendent and mine foreman in our annual report also. We hope that every mine foreman will do all in his power to prevent accidents in his mine this year.
 Alabama has an unenviable record in regard to number of fatal accidents that occur in our coal mines each year, which we believe has something to do with the scarcity of labor in the mines at present If mine operators, mine officials, min- CTS and mine inspectors will work to- gether we are sure we can reduce the number of accidents to a minimum, which will rebound to the best interest of the entire mining industry of this state.

 Tt is the duty of every miner to keep his working place safe and secure ly timbered. It is the duty of the owner or operator of each coal mine to keep a sufficient supply of props and other timber used by the miners at all times so that the miners can keep their work ing places propped.
 Section 1094 of the mining law con- tains the following rules governing tn c operation of mines:
 Rule l. No unauthorized person shall enter the mine without permis- sion from the superintendent or mine foreman.

 Rule 3. Every workman employed in the mine shall examine the working place before commencing work, and aft CT any stoppage of work during the shift, repeat the examination.'
 Where gas is given off the miner should look for the fire boss mark be- fore entering his working place, and look for the date of examination at face of working place. If the fire boss mark cannot be found, he should notify the mine foreman.
