MINING IS
DEADLIER
THAN WAR
LONDON. May 6— (Correspon
dence of The Associated Press)
Mining is more deadly than war, de
clared John Kobei tson at the govern
ni< nt’s inquiry into the coal industry
of Croat Britain. Uobertson is chair
man of the Scottish t nion ol Mine
Workers.
•‘The extent of the danger to the
miner is not realized even in the min
ing districts’, he said. “Ihere are 1,*
000,000 persons employed in and about
British coal mines. In the ten years
from 1007 to 11M0 there was a total of
12,400 men killed, or an average eacn
year of 1,240. In the last twenty years
the yearly average of accidents was
about 100,000. or a total of about
250.000. The miner is always on active
service; he is always in the trenches.”
It was stated that in one mining
distiict there were 2,708 persons liv
ing more than five in a single room,
1.257 more than six to a room, 510
moie than seven to a room, and 10 1
more than eight to a room.
“Think of the conditions in these
single rooms." the witness continued:
“Pit clothes drying in front of the fire
in the same room where the family
‘sleep: sickness, accouchement. How
can the children have a chance after
the woman has spent her day clean
ing? The miners come home from
work, and it has all got to he done ov
»*r again. l)o we wonder that tin* wo
men folk lose heart?"

said to the witness: “If the condition >
are as you say, they must be righted ;M
and a representative of the coal own
ers said he entirely agreed that some
thing must he done.
Asked by Mr. Balfour to what he i
attributed the high cost of living in
the mining districts, the witness an
swered : “Profiteering.”

went on, “because natural wealth is in
the hands of individuals, and the
worker gets a very, very small share.”
“Are not prices too high,” Mr. Hal
four asked, “owing to the restriction
of production ?**
“No,v the witness replied, “the
worker, in my opinion, does too much.
No one can accuse the worker of un
derworking. The failure is in the dis- ■
tribution of production, and imt in >
production itself. We have solved th *
question of production. What we haw
