In TEN YEARS. FATALITIES
In North America 2o,2o3-This Is at
Rate of 3.11 Per 1,ooo-Many Acct
dents Due to Ignorance of
Foreign Men.
In TEN YEARS. FATALITIES

Washington, Jan. 24.-Through mis-
understanding of orders or by reckless
disregard of the necessary rules OF
operation, foreign born workmen, with
out actual experience in mining, who are
employed in large numbers in this work,
often imperil not only their own lives,
but also those of trained and expert
enced workers, according to a bulletin
on Fatal Accidents in Coal Mining
by the bureau OF labor. The figures
cited in the bulletin are principally for
the decade ending with 1908 during
which period the fatalities in the coal
mines of North America were 29,293,
or at the rate of 3.ll per 1000 en-
ployes. During the decade ended in 1906,
the fatality rate in the United Kingdom
was l29 per 1000 employees; in Aus
tria 1885 in France l.Sl, and in Prus-
sia 2.l3. The rate in America during
the same period was 3l5.
The rates by geographical sections
show that in the east central portion,
which comprises western Kentucky, IL
linois and Indiana, the fatality rate
for the twenty years ending with 1908
was only 2.25 per 1000 employees, while
in the western section, Colorado, New
Mexico and Utah, it was Ga per 1000
and in the Pacific coast section Wash
ington and British Columbia per 1000.
1t would appear the variation in the
fatality rates is due to different min
ing methods and to differences in the
coal seas. While the fluctuations in
the rate from year to year have been
considerable, the bulletin continues, since
1899 it was never fallen as low as 3
per 1000, An important relation to
the number OF fatalities is the length
OF mine experience and the bulletin
cites that OF the 1869 persons killed in
West Virginia in the ten year period
ending with 1908, one-ffth had worked
less than one year in the mine, and
over 60 per cent. had been at work
less than FIVE years The report says
Mining methods in the United States
are often crude and known safety pre-
cautions are either disregarded or not
used. Child labor laws have been and
still are indifferently complied with in
MANY states. and a number of fatal
tits occur each year among childre at
an age when they should be in ll.
In 1908 ten children of thirteen ID
fourteen and thirteen of fifteen re
among those whose deaths in the mines
were recorded in the official reports
Foreign born workmen without actual
experience in mining are employed N
large numbers and through misunder-
standing of orders or by reckless disre-
gard Of the necessary rules of operation
often mperil not only their own lives
but also the lives Of the trained and
experienced workers.
The author argues in favor of better
education of the miners and Of better
training of foremen, superintendent and
examiners. The most important single
and well defined cause of accidents is
fall of coal or roof, 1876 per cent. of all
fatal accidents in the ten year period
being due to this cause. Explosions of
various kinds accounted for 25.2 per
cent. and mine cars for II per cent,

The disappearance 81 4. R. Loves a

il was supposed that the man really
was Loves When this city was reached

the case developed into mystery, for

that his brother had been in Chicago

family had heard Of him was about
three weeks ago.
Ii is known that young Loves had a
considerable sum in cash in his pos
session in Chicago, and as the dead man
here also carried large amount OF
money it is the theory Of Glenn Loves
that his brother was murdered and
robbed and that his murderer is the
man in the local morgue.

closed that the clothes worn by the
