By HOLLAND

New York, February 2l.-(Special) Mayor Mitchell is reported by some of his friends to feel that his judgment in se- lecting men of great achievement in the world of industry to serve as members of the committees which he has appointed to assist him in caring for the needs of New York city at this time has been fully vindicated. He made instant selec- ton of Judge F. H. Gary as the leader of the impromptu organization which has for its purpose the providing of some help to those who are out of employment in New York. Judge Gary's capacity for thorough and systematic organization has been demonstrated by the remarkable suc- cess which has followed the attempt of his committee to alleviate suffering.
 Mayor Mitchell had in mind the selec- tion of a business man of wide experi- ence. familiar with much of the industrial life of the United States, when he made choice of George W. Perkins as chair man Of the committee on food supply. When this committee was organized, in the late summer of last year. there were already indications that the question of the food supply for New York might in- voNe economic questions of utmost im- portance to the people of the United States.

The Santa Fe railroad ordered 700 freight cars. the Union Pacific 150 stock cars and the Philadelphia and Read ing % passenger trucks. Car builders in the Chicago territory placed orders for zoo tons of structural steel with the Ill- nois Steel company and the builders in the Pittsburg district are on the point of closing for more plates. The navy de- partment received bids at Washington on l5,52s tons of steel plates and shapes for the battleship California. Automobile manufacturers placed more contracts for finished steel and for parts. The continued rapid advance in the price of spelter prompted a rise of 30 per ton on galvanized sheets, si per ton on gavan- ized wrought pipe and s2 to S6 per ton on galvanized steel pipe. An advance in galvanized wire and fencing seems irn- minent. The largest manufacturers have booked orders for the rate of S5 to eo per cent capacity since January l.

MINE CASUALTIES
 DECREASE IN 1914
Average of 3.75 Killed Out of Each Thousand Elm
 ployed During Year

Washington, February 2l.-tSpecial) The 1914 casualty list for the army of 75o.0oe men employed in American coal mines, just made public by the United States bureau of mines, shows that 245l men were killed.
 Comparing the deaths with the year 1919. there is a decrease of sS4. or one man less killed for nearly every day in the year
 Stocking as is the violent death of 245l men in years time by peaceful indus try said Van II. Manning. acting di- rector of the bureau, "the men of the bu- reau who are engaged in the campaign to reduce this casualty list find, in com parsons with other years, some facts that are rather. comforting and some in- dications that the improvement noted in the saving of life will be further ac- certuated as the years pass.
 ''Ir the first place, coal mining in 1911 cost the lives of 3.S men in every 1000 employed. while in the year 1913 the death rate was 3.7S. That reduction alone means a saving of more than 800 lives.
 "The number of miners killed for every l,tU,utb tons DI COAL lulltu III l'it vas 4.sl In the year 1913, there were 4.Ss mined With the exception of the year 1912 the 1914 rate is the lowest yet re- corded for the United States.
 ''1he amount of coal produced for each miner killed in 1914 was 20S,o7S tons, which is the largest amount on record with the exception of the year 1912.
 "There were Sl6 lives lost in disasters in which more than five men were killed, which is a reduction of 14S deaths when compared with the disasters of 1913
 w hen the bureau of mines began its work the great cause of great disasters in the coal mines of the United States w. the evxploson of coal dust. This phase of the problem was taken up more vigorously than any other, and 1t Is in- deed gratifying to the bureau that the ex- plosions from coal dust in 1914 have decreased 96 per cent from the previous year.
 While the bureau of mines Is leading in this national movement to reduce the number of deaths in the mines, 1t realizes fully that not much progress could be made, were it not for the helpful CO., operationi it obtains from the state bu- reaus, the miners themselves. the oper- ators and various other agencies. The inn provenlent being made may rightfully be credited to closer and more careful inspection by the state inspectors; bet ter enforcement of laws and regulations by the operators; better realization of the dangers attendant upon the miner in his daily work and his efforts to reduce accidents due to the educational cam paign conducted in his behalf; the eN- tended use of safety lamps in doubtful mines: the use of permissible explosives that have been passed upon by the bureau of mines; the wetting of dusty mines to prevent explosions of coal dust: the first aid and rescue training which saves lives that otherwise might be lost by reason of injuries received; the enactment of in dustrial accident compensation laws, and last but not least the fine spirit of CO., operation on the part of all concerned.'

fly increasing prices In August of las. year, just after the wheat harvest had been completed, the official estimate at Washington was that we had about 350, 100000 bushels of wheat in excess of the normal American demand. Some of the authorities put this surplus as high as | 300, 000,O00 bushels. According to the re- ports made from the custom houses of the United States. there has been now ex- ported substantially 250,0Oo.0o0 bushels. One reason for the high price, now about 1.60 a bushel. is traceable to the fact that almost the entire surplus of wheat
 has been sold and exported and the ap- prehension that exports will continue necessitatng a steady increase in price. MT. Perkins, after having obtained all the reliable data possible, reported to Mayor Mitchell that in 1912 our farmers harvested 730,00.o000 bushels of wheat and sold in foreign markets 60,000,0O0 bushels. The next year we harvested 762 000, GOO bushels and sold in foreign lands nearly 100,0O0000 bushels. Last year 800 1000 GOO bushels were harvested, and in that year 17o,000,000 were exported. Since August 1 Of last year the United States has export ed many millions of bushels more than were sold to foreign countries in the pre- ceding 30 months.
 The bakers of New York city are of the opinion that if the public were willing to accept change in methods of baking they might be a ble to bake bread and sell it at retail at , cents loaf. Now the bakers bake about 40 different sizes and shapes, and are compelled to bake three times a day. They have informed Mayor Mitchell that if they could standardize the bread. having only a few shapes and were compelled to bake only once day they could take cent off the price of loaf of bread easily.
