These Deadly Mine Disasters

Over in Kemmerer, Wyoming are hundred desolated
homes Another hundred coal miners have given up their
lives for the industry. Since 1900 there have been 20
disasters in American mines in which the death list has
reached 100 One of these took 500 lives. An
other $50 lives Another 260 lives The full total of
these years cannot be told Accidents in which or
two men are killed almost too for newspapers
to relate Last year there the explosion at Browns
vile Pa-25 killed; the explosion at Spangler Pad
killed; the explosion at birmingham, Aa.-S7 killed That
at Kemmerer this week is the second in the present year
take than 100 lives coal dust explosion at Daw
son. New Mexico last February having resulted in l2o
deaths.
An enormous percentage of these deaths could have
been avoided. H. Foster Bans director Of the U. s.
bureau of mines, has said Investigations carried by
the bureau of mines for than 10 years have DEM
onstrated beyond question Of doubt that such spreading
of coal dust explosions be prevented. Responsibility
for this rests with the mine homogeneous. Deaths,
per ton of coal mined from twice to three times as
numerous in America as in European countries
Records of mine disasters show that they seldom
in union mines where the organized miners are sufi-
GENTLY powerful to force operators to provide safe work
ing conditions and where the union itself maintains in
spectors to protect the lives Of its workers Disasters
have taken place almost invariably in states where the
unions have yet to gain sufficient foothod to enforce
proper working conditions
This is something to think about the next time the coal
operators issue deluge of propaganda assailing the
miners demands for union recognition. The operators
say that unonzaton is at the expense OF the public
That is not true but if it were, the public would
ask that its pocketbook be protected at the

An Old Grammar

It is interesting to look into some
of the textbooks used in the schools
in former days. The writer found the
other day an old school book entitled
''AEarray's English Grammar. Simpli-
fed" As he turned the pages and
read;a little here and there. he Won
derfd where the simplifiction came
In. AS it seemed decidedly conglom-
Grated as compared with modern
textbook on the same subject. In
thssscursory perusal the word "Ad-
noti3f' was found given as part Of
speech. and was discovered to be
what we now term an adjective. or
"a word added to a noun" The book
waG~bound in board covers and was
published by Glazier, Masters and
Co. OF Hallowell, Maine, and bore the
data Of 1929. On the fly leaf was
