There is nothing to resist at this

ACCIDENT WORK
MOST IMPORTANT
Chief Roderick Discusses
Ways to Prevent Casual
ties in States Mines

For. many years Chief Roderick,
of the Department of Mines, has en-
deavored to impress upon the oper-
ators and employees of the 1000 coal
mines of Pennsylvania the fact that
most accidents that have occurred
might have been avoided, because
they were due to causes susceptible
of control. He has always maintain
ed and statistics support his conten-
tion that at least sixty per cent. OF
the accidents in and about the mines
are due to carelessneSS and thought
leSSnesS. In view of this condition.
he has Strenuously urged the addi-
ton of the most stringent rules gov
erning the operation of the mines,
and has urged with all possible force
the necessity for the education OF the
mine employees, particularly IN the
use of the English language, belleV-
ing that much of the carelessness
and thoughtlessness results from the
inability of the employees to under
stand the instructions given them Tor
their safety and protection.
1t is a matter of interest to know
that the entire industrial world has
become convert to the theory that
carelessness and thoughtlessness are
lHc llOSl pr Vi
and that they must be eliminated II
accidents are to be reduced. An ef-
fort along this line has recently been
made in the form of q full newspaper
page article portraying the dangers
that result from the two causes men
toned. In this statement it is claim
ed that about eighty-flve per cent.
of all accidents may be traced to
carelessness and thoughtlessness and
the injunction is given Don't take
chances" Rules are advanced cover
ing many elements of danger and
they constitute a most impressive
warning to all classes of workers
to exercise the utmost care and Wig
ilance. This public notice, plainly
indicative of a widespread, energetic
and intelligent propaganda on the
subject has attached to it the sig
natures of the most prominent rail-
way, mining and manufacturing in
terests in the State, and the dignity
of the article, sustained by the very
eminent advocates of carefulness, is
a confirmation of Chief Roderick' S
opinion regarding the most fruitful
cause of accidents.
