OF production, and has caused a
number of coal producing companies
in this state to close their plants and
go out OF business.
1t was for the purpose OF lessen
ing the disasters in ana about the
mines that the mining department,
headed by John LANG. put into ex-
1ecution rule that mine foremen
and Ere bosses should have certSA-
Gates. 1t was fight against great

The right OF the chief inspector to
enforce such a law was questioned
by many operators. but as they

Rcial to the miner in the bowels OF
the earth, but also a help in the
preserving of their valuable plants
