be one of the most hazardous forms of labor
in this country. The accident rate is startling
and although improvement has been shown
of late in the efforts to ward off mishaps, still
more than one out of every 10 men employed
in the quarries and in crushing stone for lime
and cement is injured during a calendar year.
About five out of every 1000 are killed. The
figures, obtained by the Bureau of Mines, cover
about three-fourths of the industry in this
country.
