1871 MINERS DIED At
WORK IN U. S. IN MARCH

Accidents in the coal mines OF
the country brought death to 181
men in March as compared with
339 in March, 1924. the Interior
Department announced today. On
the basis of a production OF A.
6S4,O0 tons in March, the number
of fatalities per million tons Of coal
produced was 4.05, as compared
with a fatality rate of 10 In March
Of last year.
The reduction in the fatality rate
was due mainly to the fact that in

plosions occurred killing 172 and
twenty four men respectively, while
in March this year only one major
explosion occurred with q loss OF
thirty-threO lives.
