ignorance OF English Is
Cause Of Many Accidents
in the Mining Districts

That the inability to read and un-
delstand English places the foreign
born in danger Of his life is the strik-
Ing fact brought out in recent state
ment of mine fatalities by the bureau
of mines, department of interior Inc
facts offer strong argument for
Americanization.
The rate OF accidents among the
non-English speaking miners is not
only greater in all the great mining
districts of the country but the in
creased ratio Is uniform In all dis
trIcts. The bureau Of mines consid-
ers that this demonstrates clearly that
the inability to read warning signs, TO
comprehend fully the companys In
structions and to understand their
foreman, places an unnecessary haz-
ard upon the foreign-born.
The figures given show the diner
ence in the rate of serious accidents In
the mines among the American-speak-
ing and those from the countries OF
continental Europe, almost entirely
non English speaking.
In Pennsylvania anthracite mines
40 per cent of the employees are Eng
disappearing and this number is
charged with only 28.8 per cent of the
fatalities, whereas the other 81 pei
cent sustained II per cent Of the ia
talities. This is comparative ratio
of $50 to 1888 against the non-English
speaking.
In Pennsylvania bituminous mines
the ratio is I'll to 1923 and in West
Virginia district. 100 to 1924. In In
diana the ratio is not so great.
Director Manning of the bureau of
mines concludes his report with this
impressive statement:

for the English-speaking American
