COAL MINE FATALITIES IN 1920
By w. w. Adams, Statistician, g. S.
Bureau of Mines.

An outstanding feature of the coal
mining industry in 1920 was the
marked decrease in the number of ia
tai accidents. Based upon monthly re-
ports received by the United States
bureau of mines from the various
state mine inspectors covering the
first eleven months of the year, L.
1888 men lost their lives in 1920 as
compared with FLAG during the cor
responding period of 1919, decrease
of 1853 fatalities, or about 7.6 per
cent. This reduction in the number
of lives lost is all the more crafty
ing because it was accompanied by
an increase of over IS per cent in the
output of coal. According to prelim-
mary figures published by the United
States geological survey, the produc
ton of coal from January to Novem-
Der, inclusive, was approximately 5S5,
100000 tons in 1920, while for the
same period of 1919 the output was
50l 100000 tons. Thus the number
of lives lost for each million tons of
coal produced was 3.39 in 1920 as com
pared with APO in 1919.
The most notable decrease is in the
of fatalities due to explosives
This class of accidents showed re
duction of 81 fatalities, or Az per
cent, as compared with the previous
year Accidents due to gas and coal
dust explosions showed decrease Of
"a fatalities or 1913 per cent. There
was reduction of 81 fatalities or 25.4
per cent in miscellaneous accidents un-

cured in the number of accidents due
