MORTALITY IN THE MINES INCREASED

And the Mining Congress Has Recommended Protective Legislation. A STARTLING LIST SHOWN

DEATH RATE IN THE UNITED STATES IS SHOWN TO BE HIGHER THAN IN ANY OTHER MINING COUNTRY.

Denver, March 5. The American Mining Congress has issued the following statement relating to the disasters in mines as bearing on its efforts to secure legislation to mitigate the evil: There is a bill now before the congress of the United States which aims at "conservation" in a very important sense of that important word the sense here implied being in the conservation of the lives of 4,000 men who in a short twelve-month enter the toll of death in the coal mines of the United States, and of the additional 7,000 who are maimed and crippled in the same hazardous occupation every year. Today half a million men are braving the dangers and uncertainties of the underground in bringing from the depths of the earth the materials upon which rest our welfare and prosperity and also in great part our pleasures and comforts. Will Pave the Way. The bill which is expected to prepare the way for a great 'lessening of these disasters which is expected to so direct intelligent government investigation as to largely avoid a repetition of fateful Cherry, Primero, Marianna, Monongah, Ziegler, Blue Lick, &c, with their ghastly death lists of hundreds, is H. It. 13915, providing for the establishment of a Bureau of Mines. On January 25 it passed the house by a large vote, and is now before the senate. One of the distinct features of this bill is "to make diligent investigation of the methods of mining, the safety of miners, the possible improvement of conditions under which mining operations are carried on, the use of explosives and electricity, the prevention of accidents, & c." Notwithstanding there has been a large increase in production of coal during the past 10 years, with a corresponding Increase in number of employes, the death list has more than kept pace with either. In all of the European coal-producing countries the output of coal has increased grealy during the past 10 years, but the number of deaths per 1,000 miners, instead of increasing as in this country, has undergone a marked and decided decrease. This decrease has been due to the effect of mining legislation in those countries for the safeguarding and protection of the lives of the workmen. On comparing the average death rates from accidents in coal mines for each 1,000 men employed in different countries the full significance of the figures already given may be seen: jfTance, 1901-1905) . . 0.91 Belgium 1902-1906) . . , 1.00 Great Britain (1902-191!) 1.28 Prussia (1900-1904) 2.06 United States (1902-1906) ..3.39

JAP GARMENTS THE RAGE

(American News Service) London, March 5. The Anglo-Japanese Exhibition at Shepherd's-Bush is likely to give an increased vogue to the wearing of the kimono by English women, who want to be in the fashion. At present this charming garment or rather, an adaptation of it, is frequently worn as an opera cloak, and in Japanese crepe or embroidered silk make a very comfortable and becoming evening wrap. There is a large "and growing importation of Japanese fabrics for this purpose. The real Japanese kimono, secured only by an obi or waistband, is much in favor with English women as a dressing gown, for the reason that it is extremely becoming and very easily adjusted.

A mistaken impression exists in Eng

land that the higher-class Japanese

women have entirely discarded the ki

mono in favor of European fashions. There was certainly a danger of that when the Court adopted the Western

garb some twenty years ago, but It was fortunately prevented by the determination of cultured Japanese women to

wear what is best suited to them. A

society was started with the object of

preserving the immemorial dress of

Japan, at any rate in the home, and,

though at Court ceremonies and enter

tainments the women are expected to

appear in the latst Paris fashions, the

utmost freedom is permitted to those even of the highest rank on all other

occasions.

Vienna. March 5. Viennese society belles are cultivating pallor this season, as fashion has put a ban on rosy cheeks and bright completions. Among the receipes current for achieving; a pale creamy complexion is one that should eomel the said society belles to abandon the idea. It is eoniributed to the Arbetter Zeitung by Anna Plagdich. a poor dressmaker, who from her own esperlenc guarantees her method as a certain means of acquiring the fashionable. "I sit for twelve hours a day. sh writes, "leaning over a sewing machine with eleven other girls In a room large enough for six. A single window only half lights the room, and the air is vitiated by the gas that is burnt for many hours of the day. Any lady desiring the fashionable pallor need only take my place for two or three weeks. If she wishes to add a modish slenderness to this charm, she can omit a mid-day meal two or three times a week, as is the dressmakers custom."

Its Immense Holdaas of Stocks and Bonds The American Telephone & Telegraph Company is one of America's stupendous enterprises. It is both an operating and a holding company. It owns a majority of stock in, and exercises a virtual control over, all the forty odd Bell Telephone Companies of the United States and Canada. It controls, by majority stockholdings, the Western Electric Company the largest manufacturers of telephone equipment in the world, and which supplies all the equipment need by the associated companies. On June 30. 1909, these holdings amounted to $3331822. Another Great Source of Income Aside from the Company immense revenue derived from its holdings of the securities of the Associated companies, it derives a large income through its direct ownership and operation of all the long distance and toll lines which connect the Associated Bell System throughout the country.
