Recent figures on the coal mining in.
dustry furnish an awful comment on the
greed of capital. In the bituminous coal
fields of Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia in the year 1908 twelve men out
of every thousand engaged in the in
dustry met violent deaths. In Belgium
the death rate is one in one thousand.
We kill four times as many men in our
coal industry as they do in France. The
Geological Survey some five years ago
detailed experts to make careful in
part of their report: SIN spite of all
the natural conditions tending to reduce
the percentage of mine disasters in the
United States to low figure, the acct
dents during the last fifteen years have
shown directly contrary results. Con
sidered in regard to the number of
deaths per thousand men employed, the
United States occupies a less favorable
position than any other of the coal
producing couiIileS, hole oh"h 'ii0S
times as many men out of every thou
sand being killed as in some of the Eu-
ropean countries which are much less
favored by natural conditions. In re-
gard to deaths per thousand tons of coal
the United States not only occupies a
position worse than most of the Euro
pean countries. but it is also showing an
increase in the death rate, whereas
every other country is showing a de-
crease" The reason is not hard to find.
1t costs money to properly safeguard the
industry but it costs next to nothing to
kill men. In the big Pittsburg district
the average cost to the operators has
been less than $4,000 for every man
killed. Every day in the year twenty
men give up their lives in the coal min
ing industry, and nearly all of them VIC
Tins to a system that says "mine coal
at n minimum cost" Coal is the gene
rating power that sets in motion the
commerce of nation and the coal in
dustrv has been termed the "basie in.
dustry of civilization" What shall be
said of IA civilization that exists at the
price of such a fearful toll of human
life?

VkRDAMAN FORCES ARE F|[BUSTERING Little Is Done During the
 Past Week TO BE A BITTER FIGHT
Test Vote on Payment of Troops at Water Valley and McCOmb City
 Encourages Administration. Statement Prepared

Jackson, Miss, November 5.-(Special.)- The Mississippi legislature came close to wasting another day yesterday. NO measures were gotten through because Of the filibustering resorted to by the Var dlman forces, but the prospect is that something will be done before the middle of next week.
 The anti-administration forces-that Is, those opposed to Governor Noel and the rcfunding of the $600,O0O worth of bonds Issued last winter and the payment of the interest on same that was promised purchasers by the commission authorized to sell them, have found themselves in the minority, but refuse to surrender. The test vote on the payment of the troops at McComb and Water Valley taken yester- day, and which failed by one vote only. has encouraged the administration men to believe those measures recommended by Governor Noel in his proclamation con vening the lawmakers are going to pass in a few more days, and that there is no probability the session will be prolonged. However. the Vardaman forces are not east down, nor have they surrendered by
