Banishment of Prince Andrew
Considered Diplomatic VIC
tory for Britain.
BIZ United Nefr

BIZ United NeWs
LONDON, Dec. .4.-Sparing Of the
life Of Prince Andrew of Greece by
the court-martial sitting in Athens has
relieved the tension between the Brit
ISL and Hellenic governments.
In way, the decision to Danish the
brother of former King Constantine
instead Of putting him to death, as
we're the five former cabinet ministers,
is considered 81 diplomatic victory for
Great Britain.
Although relations were broken OF,
Britain protested strongly to the
Greek government, which, according
to the view here, must have brought
pressure to bear on the military tr1bu-
nal. resulting in leniency for Andrew.
1t was said that the British govern
ment avoided a complete rupture Of
relations in the desire not to hamper
the work of former Premier VenIzelos
at the Lausanne conference, where
the presence of the Greeks is consid-
cred essential to peace in the Near
East.
Actually, Britain never granted full
recognition to King Constantine or
the revolutionary tribunal which
placed King George on the throne.

NINE DEATHS DUE
To NEGLIGENCE
Director of Bureau Says Ma
jority of Fatalities Pre-
Ventable.
BIZ Tin, sS SDeci1I

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-AppaIling
losses of life these days in American
coal mines are due, according to Di-
rector II. Foster Balm of the Bureau
Of Mines. to neglect of precautions"
Some 800 miners were killed in No
vember alone, several times that num-
Der injured. OF the fatalities, III
met death in three major disasters
III in the Reilly mine at Spangler,
Birmingham, Ala, and at Cerri1los,
N. NJ.
The enforcement OF mine safety leg
islation is in the hands OF the various
States. The Federal Government has
nc police powers in the matter. It
can only advise and assist the States.
But from now on the Federal authori.
ties will fight negligence with pitiless
publicity, negligence of State mining
officials, as we'll as Of operators and
miners.
In 1921 there were 1873 mine
deaths and in 1920 2,271. There have
been approximately 1850 so far this
year. This represents a big increase,
considering that for almost half OF
this year during the big strike 500, 900
miners never entered a coal mine.
Practically all of twelve major
disasters (where five or more men are
killed. this year have been caused by
the explosion OF coal dust. These ex-
blossoms are the result Of neglect.
says Balm.
Investigations carried on the Blu
reau of Mines for more than ten years
have demonstrated beyond question OF
doubt that spreading Of explosions by
coal dust can be prevented" Balm said.
Responsibility for this rests upon the
mine arrangements.
