Foreigners Without Experience
Often to Blame for Many
Fatal Accidents.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 22.-
Through misunderstanding of orders or
reckless disregard Of the necessary
rules of operation, foreigu-born work
men, without actual experience III MIN
ing often imperil tho lives of trained
and experienced workers, according to
bulletin made public today by the
bureau of labor.
The figures cited are principally for
the decade ending 1908. in which the
fatal accidents in the coal mines were
ployecs
For the decade ending 1906. the latest
for which figures for other coal mining
countries were available. the average
rnte Of fatalities in North America was
313 per 1000 This is higher than the
rate in other important coal fields in
the world.
Death Rates Compared.
Death rates for a few other mining
districts during the same period are:
United Kingdom, % per 1000 EN-,
ployees: Austria, 1,35; France. Isl, and
Prussia. 2.l3.

by these figures for the coal fields as a
whole, but consideration must be given
for the rates of each geographical sec
tion
"These show that in the east cen.
trail section, which comprises western
Kentucky. Illinois and Indiana. the fa-
tality rate for the twenty years end
ing 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, Washington and British Colum
bia. Z per 1000.
''1t would appear that the variation
IN the fatality rates is due to deficient
mining methods and to differences in
the coal seams
Ignorance to Blame.
An important relation TO the num-
Der Of fatalities is the length OF mine
experience, and the bulletin cites that
of the 1869 persons killed in West Vir-
gina IN the ten.year period ending
with 1908, one fifth Of them had
worked less than one year in the mine
and over go per cent had been at work
less than five years.
Mining methods in the United
States, saws the report, in conclud-
ing. care often crude and known safe
ty precautions arc either disregarded
or not used
"Child labor laws have been, and
still are, indifferentlv complied with in
many states, and fatalities occur each
year among children at an age when
they should be in school.
In 1908, ten children OF IL and 1j
and thirteen children of 10 wears were
among those whose deaths in tbe mines
were recorded in the official reports. -

"K0ENIGSKINDER" AGAIN
Holiday Audience Enjoys Second
Performance at Metropolitan.

Engelbert Humperdinek's opera, "Konigs-
kinder" which received it's first production
on any stage on Wednesday evening AZ the
metropolitan Opera House, was sung for
the second time last night. Il was spe-
cial performance before a holiday audience,
which undoubtedly accounted for some Of
the enthusiasm. II surely did not account
for all.
The audience was one Of the largest that
ever has gathered az the Metropolitan on
q nou-subscription night. II was an audi
ence that came TO enjoy. and IT evidently
was not disappointed There were twelve
four Of which were responded 10 BY Mr..
Humperdinck himself. The kindly faced
composer sails for home on Tuesday. Last
nights performance will cheer him on his
way.
The cast was the same as at the first per-
formance. Miss Farrar repeated her de-
lifhtful impersonatien o. the Goose Girl. an
impersonation that possesses the charm Of
her Manon and her Butterfly. with a poetry
Of conception and an informing tenderness
that are new and most gratifying. Nr. Jad-
lowker sang ths Kings son, Mr.. Goritz the
Fiddler and Mrs. Homer the Witch. Mr..
Goritz was in much better voice than On
the opsning night, and dramatically he was
