II is dangerous to work for Do

the hazards Of the oil game as now
conducted. In all 4,108 accidents
were tabulated during the years 1921
and 1922, about two-thirds Of the
total number Of accidents. The l,108
accidents caused a loss Of 274,s29
working days or an average of 81
days for each accident.
"The increasing danger to life and
limb involved in the drilling for and
the production Of oil and gas, has
become SO great that IL is clearly

be done to keep it within the mar
rowest possible limits" comments
the bureau.
