MINERS WELFARE
 CAUSE 0F TAFT
Bureau of Mines Marks Great
 Step Forward.
SAVES HUNDREDS OF LIVES
Discovery of Danger of Coal Dust I'm. portsnt-Handlins of Explosives Made Safer-Government' Experimental Coal
 Mine.

The saving of many lives annually the lives of miners throughout the United States-will be one of the splendid results that will follow the establishment of the bureau of mines. one Of the great achievements in the interest of labor by the administration of President Taft. The formation of this bureau is likewise notable achievement, and will prove far-reach- ing in it's effects to class of wage earners which has been in great need of some practical relief.
 The excessive and unnecessary loss of life in the mines of this country was one of the primary causes for the creation of this bureau. For years hundreds of miners were killed in mine disasters, and practically noth- ing was done to check the terrible loss of life. There was also need for an in- vestigation to determine what could be done in the way of handling the high explosives. as well as to improve the conditions under which the men worked.
 Spurred on by President Taft, an act creating the bureau of mines was passed by congress and became effec- tive on July 1, 1910. John A. Holmes of the United States geological sud. yey, was appointed as the first direct. or. Mir. Holmes was reputed and cer- tified to be the best trained man for the place obtainable in the United States. The chief experimental sta. tion was established in Pittsburg, where the Investigations of the prob. lems entrusted to the bureau have been prosecuted so successfully for nearly two years.
 In the year 1907, the most disastrous Of all years in the American coal mine, S,125 miners lost their lives. This represented 4.S6 men killed for every 1000 employed. In coal mines in Europe less than two miners are killed out of every 1000 employ. ed. As result of the work conducted by the bureau of mines, and the wise use of an appropriation Of s150. 1000 made by congress, the death rate has already been reduced to practically one-half of what it was in 1907
 One Of the notable achievements of the bureau of mines was the demon. stration of the fact that coal dust in oituminous mine is more dangerous and deadly than gas. It has been the belief. heretofore. that gas or fire damp was the greatest menace to the miners, and little attention was given to the accumulation of coal dust. The bureau of mines proved to the satis- faction of the miners as well as opera tors that coal dust would explode, and. unlike fire damp, carried no warning with 1t. The keeping of dusty mines wet, as recommended by the bureau of mines, was found to reduce materially the chances of an explosion of coal dust.
