HIGH TIDE PASSED
/ IN MINE MORTALITY
Bureau Of Mine Statistics Show
Reduction in Year.
ON BAD ECONOMIC BASIS
In Spite Of the Program Made, We
Are Far From the standard Of
Safety That We Ought to
Have Reached.

Washington That high-tide on the
terrible death rate in American coal
mines has been reached and passed
is the confident belief Of the ofEiciais
Of the United States Bureau Of Mines.
Figures issued by the Bureau Of
Mines shows that 2,517 men were
killed in the mines last year, as
against 1884, for 1910. This shows
reduction Of 317 in one years time.
The death rate in 1910 was 3g1 in
every 1000 employed The rate in
1911 was 3.74
Compared with 1907, the darkest
year in the history Of American Min
ing, when 3,1S7 men lost their lives,
1911 shows a decrease Of $50 in the
number killed. 1t was following the
record of this year that Congress au-
thorized the government to begin in
vestigations looking toward reduc-
tion in the death rate and this was
supplemented in 1910 by the creation
of the Bureau of Mines.
Discussing the death statistics Of
the coal mines, DIR. Joseph A. Mines,
director Of the Bureau Of Mines, said:
"The United States has still NO rec
ord to be proud Of. In spite Of the
progress made, we are far below the
standard of safety that We ought to-
have reached.
mo branch of industry in this coun-
try is on so bad an economic basis
today as coal mining and this indus
try can never be placed on salts
factory basis until, though important
legislative changes, improvement in
this economic basis is made possible.
It was early in 1908 that the Federal
Government began its investigation
of the causes Of mine disasters fol-
lowing the climax of accidents of 1907.
The record OF 1907 and the following
years Is as follows:
The per cent. Of men killed out Of
every 1000 employed during the fol-
lowing years are: 1907, 4.SS; 1908,
3.64; 1909. 400: 1910. Sol; 1911. STA.

THE WORK THAT LAsTs.

The work Of the quiet, conscientious
man does not cease when death stills
his heart. He has planned too care
fully and wrought too conscientiously
for his unselfish labors to pass into
oblivion. The world has need Of his
services and often benefits by them
long after his race Ii rum He may
not have made much impression In his
lifetime, but for all that he built TO
the best Of his ability and to future
generations his work is Of enduring
value The quiet worker is never ex-
plotted by his fellow-men. Indeed.
there are some persons who hold In
contempt the man who does not make
stir In the world, says the Charles
ton News and Courier 1t is not al
ways the quality Of the work that
counts, but rather its spectacular ef-
fects. That these effects soon wear
away and leave exposed the rough
surfaces cannot be questioned, and
then 1t is that men turn with conf
dence to the results Of the unobtru-
sive. dependable worker. who strives
with his heart. az well as with his
head. In recent article on the sub
1ect the writer says Of the quiet work
or that he builds for eternity, and
that eternity alone can discover the
hne finish Of his workmanship. We
can take a piece Of furniture and
paint on Il as brilliant q gloss as we
wish for. but It win not be long be-
fore the cheap brilliancy furnishes and
shows in all It's ugliness the painted
wood beneath. On the other hand,
the fine finish which the master work
man gives to the article he is re-
storing Is attained only after the most
honest and painstaking efforts, which
he directs not to the attainment of
immediate fina1 results, but to results
which lead gradually to the beautiful
finish which crowns his work.
