Coal Mime inspection

The last official statement oil
Joseph A. Holmes, director Of the
Bureau Of Mines operating under tho
Department OF the Interior, shows
that since the bureau began its work
the death rate Of miners per 1900
600 tons OF coal mined has decreased
annually. that the production per
death has increased and that the
death rate per 1000 men employed
has steadily decreased. These results
are attributed 10 a combination oI
causes. ''the principal one OF which
has been more efficient and effective
mine inspection on the part of the
state mining departments and state
mine inspectors supplemented by
greater care on the part Of both the
operators and miners" 1t Is claimed
by Director Holmos--and this is
worth noting--.that the greatest Inn
provement made relates to dangers
concerning which the bureau has
been conducting special investiga-
tions, and exhibits are offered TO sub
stantiate this.
To be sure, more miners we're
killed in 1912 than in any year prior
to 1907, but fewer than in any year
since and including 1907. The num-
Der OF deaths last year was 1850.
But the production OF coal was the
largest on record. The ratio Of fatal
tiles was 3.15 to 1000 employed
men. which ~ the least since 1900.
All this is encouraging. in spite Of
the fact that 1t Is only small begin
ming on an immense task. II shows
what can be done and suggests how
very derelict in their duty the mine
operators must have been all these
years. II is well to know that the
government which was forced TO
make the start, has been able to en-
list the cooperation Of the operators.
as well as the men. Now that we seem
to have found the path. we ought to
follow II up until we have reached
something like reasonable safety in
the mines.

But the whites. both Dutch and Anglo
