THE fatalities In the soft coal mines are
usually so spectacular that common belief
is that work in bituminous shafts is far more
dangerous than that in anthracite mines. Yet
for September the death rate in bituminous
mines was 32s per million tons while in the
hard coal workings the rate was 6.33 The
rates for September, 1928, were higher for
anthracite and lower for bituminous, showing

The coal production for the month this year
was 81 ,3O7 600 tons, all but 6,792 600 tons of

was l89, Of whom 146 met death in bituminous
mines.
