DEATH RATE in MINES
Is STEADILY DECREASING

WASHINGTON July 9.-That the
high tide in the terrible death rate
in American coal mines has been
reached and passed is the confident
belief of the officials of the United
States bureau of mines.
Figures issued today by the bureau
show that 2,517 men were killed in
the mines last year as against 1884
for 1910. This shows a reduction in
the number of lives lost of 81 in
one years time. The death rate in
1910 was 3.91 men 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 3,197 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 a reduc-
ton 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, DR.. Joseph A. Holmes,
director of the bureau of mines, said:
while these latest mortality statis-
tics in the coal mines of the country
show slight improvement over the
previous years, the United States has
still no record to be proud of. In
spite of the progress we have made,
we are still far below the standard
of safety that we ought to have
reached.
cit is of course comforting to
know that for each year since 1907
there has been a decreasing number
of men killed for every million tons
of coal mined, and that for every
life lost we have each year taken out
of the earth more tons of coal. This
is an improvement in the right di-
rection. I hope that within the next
year or two we will see as great an
improvement in the reduction of the
number of men killed per 1000 men
employed.
1.-THE bureau is cooperating with
the state mine inspectors, the mine
| workers and with the mine operat-
ors in an endeavor to solve many of
the difficult problems connected with
the coal mining industry in this
country. In this effort all the above
forces are cooperating in good spir-
| it in the determination to bring about
better conditions. In this co-operat-
| i've effort lnere is also serious need
of the statesmen. No branch of in
dustry in this country is on so bad
an economic basis today as is the
coal mining industry, and this indus
try can never be placed on salts
factory basis until, through import
ant legislative changes, improvement
in this economic condition is made
possible"
1t was early in 1908 that the fed
eral government began it's investiga-
| ton of the causes of mine disasters
| following the climax of accidents in
1907. The record for 1907 and the
following years is as follows:
In 1907, 3,197 men killed, or 4.S8
| in every 1000 employed.
In 1908, 2,449 killed, or 3.64 in
every 1000 employed.
In 1909, 2,668 killed, or in ev-
cry 1000 employed.
In 1910, 1884 killed, or 3.91 in
every 1000 employed.
In 1911, 2,517 killed, or STA in
every 1000 employed.

All through the voyage Cap

had entrusted their lives and their

to the bottom.
The loss of the Titanic made
the Olympic the largest and
most luxurious ship ever launch

was not talked of. -
No details-o of the death list were
published-just bulletins, saying
how many had been saved.
But when the newspapers were
brought on. board today with the
awful headlines and the long,
black-faced lists of the dead, the
greatness of the tragedy came
home TO all of us.
Many of the women turned
faint as they read of the passing

1t was like the lifting of a pail

Within few minutes, 81, 500 had
been raised. Lady Ashburton,

Even the poorest aboard gave

The first news of the disaster
came in vague rumors, as we were
sitting at the breakfast table
Monday morning.
No one seemed to know whence

tale that an awful tragedy had
overtaken the Titanic flew from
ships end to ships end. Even
the stokers heard it. -
Late in the afternoon, a bulle%
