INEXPERIENCED MINERS

statistics show Fatality Rate in
North America Higher Than In
other Mig Coal Fields.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Through mis-
understanding OF orders or by reckless dis
regard Of the necessary rules OF operation,
foreign born workmen, without actual ex-
perience in mining, often imperil not only
their own lives, but also the lives of
trained and experienced workers. according
to a bulletin made public today by the
bureau OF labor.
The figures cited are principally for the
decade ending 1908 in which the fatal ac-
cidents in the coal mines OF North America
were g. 293 and the rate per 1000 employees
was 81. For the decade ended 1906 the
latest for which figures for other coal
mining countries were available the aver
age fatality rate in North America says
the report, was 3.13 per 1000 This, 1t is
said. was higher than the rate in other
important coal fields Of the world. Figures
for a few of them for the same period are
