A WASTFUL NATION

Of all the nations of the earth
America is the most wasteful of
the lives Of its citizens. Seventy
five thousand of our people are
killed each year by accidents of
which number 35OOU are wOrkmen

occupations. If we add to these
figures the number woun led and
crippled in industry, we shall find
III { industry now kills, and
crippled more in each year than
did bullet and shrapnel in any year
Of the Civil war. Of all American
industries coal mining is the most
hazardous. From three TO fv
thousand coal miners are annually
killed outright and The number of
killed and seriously injured COM
binGd amounts to from cIgnt to ten
thousand each year in the United
S a'es. Since 1890 more than So.
600 coal miners have been killed
and more than $4,000 have been
seriously injured - In the single
State Of Pennsylvania in the year
1907 alone more than 1000 miners
were killed, leaving nearly 1000
widows and $40 children under
