told misery, and existing in state
of sem-starvation and despair. If you
can picture this condition of affairs
in our mining communities, you can
readily understand the terrible life in
the mining industry in America.
Twenty-Five hundred slaughtered
and one hundred thousand injured
every year, for the last twenty years
or total of $4,000 killed and around
100000 injured for the same period
20 years. Little progress has been
made in safeguarding the lives of the
underground slaves in the last two
decades. The main causes are the
same today as twenty years ago de-
spite the fact that there have been
many preventive measures discovered.
Rockdust Lessons Explosions.
One of the main causes of the ia
talities is due to gas and dust explo.
sions. A few mines in a few states
have made an attempt to lessen the
danger by rock busting, but the most
of the companies have refused to use
it, declaring that it is too expen-
sive."
1t is claimed by many coal com.
panies that if the state forces rock
busting in the mines, it will put them
out of business as they will be un-
able to compete with the other states
that do not have to rock dust the
haulage ways, so the merry round OF
killing goes on. 1t is cheaper to kill
coal miners than to make any effort
to safeguard their lives with rock
busting.
ss Nationalist the Mines.
Ta There is only one remedy for this
continuous killing of coal miners in
America and that is naturalization Of
the mines with workers control. The
first consideration of the mining in
dustry must be service, instead Of
profit, but before this can be accom-
plished, the workers must be organ
lied politically. They must builc
from the trade unions, and all other
organizations of a working class ma
ture, labor party for the establish
ment of workers and farmers gov

Capitalist Press is Silent.
The terrible suffering amongst the
miners and their families as result
of injuries to the bread winner is a
phrase of life in the mining communi-
ties seldom mentioned. When you
consider the fact that over 100000
injuries of major or minor degree
happen in the mines thruout America
each year, you will readily understand
the intense suffering amongst the
miners, and understand the conspir-
acy of silence of the capitalist press
in keeping this condition from the
public.
One other reason the enormity of
this suffering is so little understood,
is because the accidents are scatter
ed over the entire country, and it is
only in cases where there are large
explosions and appalling loss of life
that we ever hear of them at all
Cities of Dead.
To understand the actual suffering
among the miners and their families
let us gather the coal mining acct
dents that happen thruout America
into two coal mining centers. One
city with population of $500 miners
with their wives and families, and
another with a population of 100000
miners with their wives and families
Witness, then, at the beginning OF
each year for the last 20 years. a city
of $500 miners with their wives and
families in. the fulness Of life, look

miners do, dreaming of the time when
they can give to their children an

TERRIBLE TRAIL OF BLOOD and
DEATH OF COAL Miners; WHOLE

q rate OF 5.49 men killed per
thousand that year. That the
coal mining industry has made
no appreciable progress in safeguard
ing the lives of the underground
slaves is seen in the following COM
parative figures.
Killings on the Increase,
From 1916 to 1920, there were 4.OS
miners killed out OF every thousand
that were employed 300 days in each
year. From 1920 to 1922, the killing
rate was 4.06, an increase Of .OS per
thousand men employed. The official
figures for 1924 are not yet complete
but those at hand show an enormous
increase in life lost in the mines over
1928.
For instance, the figures show there
were 4.31 miners killed per million
tons produced in 1924, as against 3.S7
miners killed per million tons pro-
duced in 1923. The figures for the
first five months of 1925 already in
dictate an increase over 1924.
City Of crippIes.
Two thousand five hundred miners
killed and over 100000 injured per
year is the toll in human lives in
the mining industry. Thousands of
the injured would have been better
OF had they been killed outright at
the time of their injuries. Thousands
of the injured live in misery for years
racked with physical suffering, and
mentally tortured by the sight of their
loved ones in semi-starvation. Broken
backs, broken ribs, crushed legs and
feet, burned with gas, and others
with internal injuries from which they
will never recover are sample of
the injuries received in the coal mines
in this country.
Lawyers like VuItures.
Coupled to this terrible suffering
many miners totally permanently in
capacitated are bounded by coal COM
pany lawyers in an attempt to have
them settle their claims against the
coal company for few dollars in vio-
lation Of the state compensation law,
which specifically states the amount
that shall be awarded the injured,
sometimes three and four times the
amount offered the victim by the coal
company lawyers.
Trick the Victims.
The coal company lawyers take
every advantage of the injured vic
tim, every legal technicality to beat
them out of their legal award. The
writer has known miners injured in
the mines in Illinois that have had
their cases against the coal company
continued for over two years before
they could get hearing before the
arbitration board.
Finally, when it came before the ar
bitration board for hearing and de-
cision, it was disagreed upon and ap-
pealed, then again appealed, and final
ly referred back for new trial,
which many times has resulted in
the starving victim accepting nifty
per cent Of what he was entitled to
under the law, to be able at once to
get something to eat for his starving
children.
No Sympathy for Destitute.
The same kind of treatment is CIV
en- TO the widows and dependents OF
the fatally injured miners. In most
of these cases a petition is made to
the board for a complete settlement,
better known as a lump sum settle

A public eating place; a table with
six about it, man and woman of mid
die age and four children, a bright
eyed, wholesome group as one might
wish to see. And they attracted at
tention. Why? Well, not because of
any attempt on their part, they were
attending to their own affairs in all
propriety; rather because they all
looked so much the part of happy,
healthy family. The father and
mother evinced interest in the
youngsters and that appeared to be
reciprocated, though with no neglect
of healthy appetite. Why should
one man at nearby table remark 10
another: Should marriage be part
nership or meal ticket, individual
expression or a family AFFAIR."" And
another replied, nodding toward the
family group: There's nothing in
the wide world that can take the
place of a partnership like that,
which doubtless to the group, had
they overheard, would have seemed
a bit effusive, if not uncalled for. And

AS dear Uncle Lucky and Little

kind old bunny man, and hopping
out of the Luckymobile, he hurried
across the lawn. Sure enough, some
thing was the matter! Mrs. Sparrow
was f1uttering around the front
porch, now hopping across the floor,
then taking short flights up to the
beam overhead on which rested her
nest. Near the croquet box sat lit
tie sparrow, who every once in a
while tried in vain to fly up to his
mother. But his wings weren't
strong enough to make the distance.
I'll bring him up" promised the
kind old gentleman rabbit resting
the ladder against the side of the
house. Then placing the little bird
in his precious old wedding stove
pipe hat, dear Uncle Lucky climbed
up the ladder and carefully placed
the little frightened feathered per-
son in the nest. There, youngster,'
he said, with wink at anxious lit
tie Mrs. Sparrow. Don't try to fly
