COAL NINE FATALITIES BEING
SLOWLY REDUCED-ONLY
2,517 MEN KILLED IN 1911.

WASHINGTON, July 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 reduction in the num-
ber of lives lost of 3i7 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 decrease of $50 in the
number of men killed.
1t was following the record of this
year that congress authorized the gov
ernment to begin Investigations look
ing toward reduction 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 Holm
es, 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 pre-
vioGs 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 stan
dard of safety that we ought to have
reached.
1T is of course comforting to know
that for each year since 1907 there
has been decreasing number of men
killed for every million tons of coal
and that for every life last
we have each year taken out of the
earth more tons of coal
"This is an improvement in the
right direction. hope that within
The next year or two we vii, see as
great an improvement in the reduc-
lion of the number of men killed per
| 900 men employed.
The bureau is cooperating with
he state mine inspectors, tho m ne
workers and with the mine operators
n an endeavor to solve MANY of the
problems connected with the
'oal mining industry in this country.
n this effort all the above forces are
cooperating in good spirit in the de-
ermlnation to bring about better con-
iltions. In this cooperative effort
