DEATH RATE Of Miners
SAID STILL TOO HIGH
Figures for 1914, However, Show
456 Less Men Were Killed
Than in 1918.

Although the death rate among min
ers was reduced by one man in every
5000 in 1914 compared with the
previous year, the mortality is still
too high. according to q report just
issued by the bureau of mines. The
figures for 1914. which have just been
compiled. show that 45s less men were
killed than in the year 1913. The
total number Of men killed in all coal
mines. metal mines and quarries in
1914 was 3,1s3. In the year 1913 the
number was 1851.
Tho totals do not by any means tell
the whole story" said Van H. Manning,
director Of the bureau. There were more
than a million men employed in these
mines and quarries, and the death rate for
the year 1914 was BIG for each 1000 men
employed. as compared with 349 for
tho year 1913. In other words, in
nearly every mining camp of any size
in the country there is one miner
spared to his family who would have
been killed had the same fatality rate
obtained in 1914 as in the previous
year.
These results are an eloquent tribute
to the unceasing nationwide campaign
which is being carried on in behalf Of
the miners by the operators, the min
ers themselves. the state mine in
spectors and the bureau of mines.
Cooperation Is Commended.
TT has taken the combined efforts
Of all these agencies to bring this
