FEWER DEATHS IN
THE COAL MINES
National Director Holmes
Issues Statement
RECORD MADE IN 1912
More Coal Produced and Less Loss of
Life Than in Any Year Since
19O7-Due to Better Work by
the State Inspectors
RECORD MADE IN 1912

Giving more thorough and scientific
mine inspection by state mine in
spectors as the cause, Director Joseph
~ Holmes of the United states bureau
of mines has Just issued report show
ing that less lives have been lost and
more coal produced in 1912 in the
United States than at any other time In
the history of the coal mining industry
in this country. The report has just
been received a the office of Alabama
State Mine Inspector C. II. Nesbitt
The report states that in 1912 the
coal production of the United tsates
coal fields was 55O,OOo.oOo tons and
bCt 1850 miners We're killed while ell
gagged in mining operations. This is
the record going both ways, states
the report, since the year 1907 and is
due almost entirely to better mine in
spection by state mine inspectors and
their assistants, better mining laws,
better enforcement of such laws by
the mine inspectors and gradual pro-
Sress made by the coal mining in
dustry
Figures for Alabama
In 1912, 121 men we're killed in the
coal mines of Alabama OF these 1O6
were killed underground, four in shafts
and IL on the surface. OF these killed
underground, the most met death by
the fall of tho roof, the total killed in
tLis manner being "a in this state. The
coal production of Alabama in 1912
wss approximately 1868, 900 tons. The
report makes especial acknowledg-
ments for aid in Its compilation to
Alabama State Mine Inspector c. II.
Nesbitt w. w. Kicker David Kelso,
j. f. Webb, W. r. Ray, Frank Hill
raan and Thomas Roscoe. assistant
mine inspectors In this state
The report starts out with the fol-
lowing paragraphs
During the calendar year 1912 there
we're 1850 men killed in and about the
coal mines of the United States Based
on an output of SOC, 1000, 900 short tons
Of coal produced by 100000 men, the
number of killed for every 1, 600, ,O0O tons
of coal mined was 4.29 and the death
rate per 1000 employed was Sis. The
number of men killed was the least
since 1906, the death per 1000 employed
was the smallest since 1899, the death
rate per 1000, 900 tons of coal mined
was the lowest and the number of tons
of coal produced in proportion to the
number of men killed was the greatest
on record. These facts offer undis-
putable evidence that conditions tend
irg toward safety in coal mining are
actually improving and that coal is
now being mined with less danger to
the miner than ever before"
The number of men killed in ana
about the coal mines of the United States
in the calendar years 1907 to 1912, in
elusive, are given in the report as fol-
low s-1907, 2197; 1908, 2449: 1909, 266S;
1910, 2840; 1911, 2719; 1912, 1850.
ut will be noted from the foregoing
table," the report says, "that the death
rate per 1000 900 tons of coal mined
has decreased annually since 1907, that
the production per death has increased
each year and that the death rate
per 1000 men employed has steadily DE-
creased during the last four years"
