Will Begin Business Early in January With Fund Fully Paid In and More to Come.

Labor's entrance into the field ot constructive leadership is again illus trated in the announcement of the opening of the International Ladies Garment Workers Bank, which will begin business in New York city on
 January 5 with paid-in capital of $5oo, 1000.
 Until the outbreak of the war the International Ladies' Garment Work CTS Union spent most of tis time money, and energy in striking, either for wage increases or improved work ing conditions, or for the retention of conditions. objected to by employers, it was explained at the offices of the union The joint board of cloak and dress makers, the largest unit of the parent body, was engaged in strikes almost every season. The strike 1t was one of the most bitter and costly in the history of the trade union movement
 During the war period the cloak makers maintained a three-year period of peace and other branches of the international union were comparative ly quiet. A strike in the winter of 1921 in the New York cloak industry resulted III another victory for the union and in a trade agreement to expire in July, 1924. In these two comparatively long periods of indus trial peace, the energies of the union have been diverted into a variety of activities, chief of which are it's health and educational work and it's rapid requirement of property.
 Previously, the only real estate the International Union had was an old brownstone residence building used as offices for the Joint Board of Waist and Dress Makers at I6 West Twen- ty-hrst street. During the second of the peace periods, the Italian Cloak makers began in 1919, the construc- ton of six-story modern freproof structure at cost of about $I5o,ooo at 23I East Fourteenth street. The local union then purchased the ad- joining property and plans to com

number of explosions in recent years had led the bureau to feel that the dangers from this source were being eliminated"
 Two effective methods of prevent ing the spreading through coal mine of minor initial explosion have been demonstrated by the bureau at its experimental mine near Pittsburgh, where more than 500 experimental ex- plosions have been produced and in which the explosibility of coal-dusts from all parts of the country has been studied. The first method IS to wet the dust so thoroughly that no dry dust remains in the mine. The sec ond is to dilute the coal dust with shale dust, limestone dust, or other non-inf1ammable dust, that flame will not pass from point to point
 From it's years of study of coal dust explosions the bureau of mines can say that great explosions should not be considered as normal occupa- tiona1 hazards" Director Bains said Explosions can and must be pre- vented from spreading throughout the underground workings of mine. Miners and operators, as we'll as mine inspectors, must take hold of the situation promptly and vigorously, or there will be still more serious ex- plosions and more men killed"
 Directo rBains cited the need for an intensified safety campaign among miners, operators and inspectors to maintain diligence in observing the precautions which will lead to the prevention of accidents This includes wider discrimination of the knowl- edge already acquired by the Bureau of Mines and the agencies which have been cooperating with 1t.

 Starts Office Building.
 Shortly after this purchase, the In- ternatlonal Union started work on a six-story office building at 3 West Sixteenth street at an approximate cost of $225 5,ooo Only few months ago the Cloak and Dress Joint Board moved into it's own building at I3o East Twenty-ffth street, which cost about $225, ,ooo. Adjoining this build ing IS one owned by local I of the In ternat1onaI Union, worth about S75,- 900. Construction of a building that will cost between $Iooooo and $2oo,- 900 Is to be begun within few months by Finishers' Local 9 at Lex ington avenue and Twenty-sixth street. The union also owns the Unity Health Center at I3I East Sev- enteenth street, valued at $I5o,ooo.
 In the field of workers education the international has assigned Fania Cohen, vice-president, to the edu- cation department, which maintains unity centers in different parts of the city and the workers university, a central institution for intensive train ing of active unionists in trade union problems.
 In the ehld of sanitation, the union is conducting, jointly with the em- ployers, the Union Health Center the union and the employers. From this institution, inspectors are sent out to enforce high standards of sani- tation, and members are also given medical and dental treatment at mod crate cost.
 Provides for Vacations.
 At Unity House, maintained by the unions at Forest Park, Pa, an ex- tensive property has been converted from $25o,ooo estate to accommo- date several hundred workers each week for vacations at moderate cost. The attendance at this institution has been increasing every year since 1t Waist and Dress Makers maintain their own vacation resort at Staten Island
 The most recent activity IS the es- tablishment of the bank Other un- ions participating the organization of the bank are the United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers Union, the.

MANY COAL MINE DEATHS CAUSED BY
 ROOF FALLS

Washington, Dec I5.-The wide spread attention given to fatalities in coal mines from explosions has re suited in the common supposition that gas and coal-dust form the main hazards of mining, but the Bureau of Mines has found that the deaths from falls of roof and coal could be elim- mated, the number of miners killed would be cut approximately in half In his annual report Director Eos ter H. Bains points out these deaths occur singly or in pairs in the dark recesses of the mine when the top falls in or when the men are en- gagged in "robbing" pillars. The deaths from roof falls aggregated 900 during 1922 The fact this number is less than the total during the several preceding years is due to thousands of miners being idle for several months during the bituminous coal strike
 The larger part of the responsi- accidents may fairly beplaced on the said Most of the falls occur at the working places, and the miners there are better able to observe the condi- tions under which they work and to tell when the roof should be taken down or additional props put up than is anyone else"
 For the II-year period ended with 1922 47.84 per cent. of all fatalities were due to falls of roof and coal; 16.85 per cent. were caused by mine cars and locomotives, 1I.25 per cent. by gas and coal-dust explosions, GOA per cent by explosives and SAY per cent. by electricity. During this period 25,o7I men were killed in coal mines. Approximately 90 per cent. of all the \ deaths occurred under ground.
 Although the Bureau of Mines can say positively that widespread ex- plosions of coal dust no longer should occur, the fact remains they continue, " Director Bains pointed out. "In 1922 gas and coa1-dust explosions took a toll of s11 lives, or 15.78 per cent. of the total deaths Until the late series of disatruos explosions the lessening
