DEATH RATE
In Coal Mines Takes Drop

Washington.-Sub Substantial reduction
of the death and injury rate in coal
and meJal mines of the country is
shown in a statement issued by the
bureau Of mines in which the safety
work of that governmental depart
ment is reviewed.
From a rate in 1911 OF 471 deaths
for each 1000 men employed there

to rate of 1923 per 1000 in 1919,
the statement said.
The bureau has 10 specially equip

porting its training crews from mine
to mine. Besides training the miners
in rescue work, the wives and children

mining as 10 years ago, it is stated
This condition makes necessary added
precautions against accident.

CONFUSED PATRIOT
Pitied For Ignorance By
Furuseth

Baltimore.-Andrew Furuseth, pres
ident of the International Seamen's
Union, is engaged in a newspaper
controversy in this city over the sea-
mems law, which his opponent de-
clares makes it possible for foreign
seamen to sign at their home port for
lower wages, and then they may de-
sert on their arrival in this country
if they are not paid the prevailing
wage.
This is equalization of wages, with
d vengeance, isn't it," is the trium
phant query of the foe of the sea-
mems law.
"My opponent does not mean to
argue ir favor of foreign vessels, but
unfortunately ne does," replies Furu-
seth, who asks:
Does he think it wrong for the
United States to decline being the
slave catchers for foreign ship own
ers, when the people of the United
be the slave catchers for each other
Does he really think that the United
States ought to use its police power
to keep the wages of an English or
a Norwegian ship, hiring coolies in
India or China at So month, which
is about one-tenth of the wages paid
on American vessels? Is he really
willing that such an English or Nor
wegian vessel shall be assisted to keep
such crew on board while she is
carrying away freight that would
otherwise go in American vessels?
"He says there are hundreds of
American vessels idle in American
harbors. So there are Italian vessels,
Spanish vessels, English vessels, mil
lions Of tons Of shipping idle in the
harbors. 1t is usually thought that
that is the result of the war and of
peace, and not of the seamen's act"
