coal NINE FATALITD'' vOR
PAST YEAR GItENTL lEDUCEn

Returns received by the government
bureau Of mines from the state mine
inspectors show that 1915 Is IA banner
year IN the low record 10 coal mine
fatalities In the United States. The
decrease Is about 3 per cent as COM
pared With 1915. white the production
of coal increased about ~ per cent
The number of fatalities reported dur
Ing the year was 2225. as compared
with 226s Tor 1915. Figures are not
yet available showing the actual num-
bot ~ men employed during the year,
but ON tho basis of the number OF men
employed In 1915. the fatality rate was
sos In 1915. as compared with 500
per thousand men employed In 1915.
This Is the lowest rate since 1885.
when about half the number of men
were employed. According % the
geological survey the estimated pro-
duction OF coal for 1915 was 597. 0O0,-
900 tons, as compared with 53i,Cl9,-
tS7 tons In 1915. SO that the number
oi tons OF coal mined per fatality In
1915 was 5000. as compared with
23i2s7 In 1918 and goo, 26i In i9lA
The production per fatality In 1915 r.
therefore the greatest In the history
OF coal mining In the United States.
During 1915, there were eleven
mine disasters In each of which five
or more men were killed, being the
same number as In each 1915 and
1914. The number OF men killed by
these disasters In 1915 was hundred
