MUSTPROTECT
MINERS FROM
THE IGNORANT
WASHINGTON, March 13.—Van H.
Manning, director of the bureau of
mines, department of the interior, in
formed congress recently that the ed
ucation of the non-English-speaking
foreign-born among the miners by the
so-called Americanization bill should,
result in the saving from death each
year of nearly one thousand of these
men and the saving from injury of
about 150,000. Teaching these men
how to read and write the English
language would permit them to read
the ordinary precautionary signs in
the most dangerous mines and enable
the men to understand the sugges
tions for safety given by the bosses,
according to Mr. Manning.
Mr. Manning blames the present
high death and injury rate in the
mines to me jiresence oi tnese ior
eigners from the non-Englisli-speak
ing races, a majority of whom are not
even able to read or write their own
languages. He finds that the death
and injury rates among these men are
twice as high as among the English
speaking miners, and their presence
in the mines is responsible fur a
higher accident rate than would ordi
narily exist among the English-speak
ing miners, making these men a men
ace to all of the miners. The statis
tics show that there are more than
620,000 foreign-born men employed in
the mines, and that 75 per cent of
these, or 465,000, are from the non
English-speaking races, nearly all of
them from countries where there is
no mining.
“These are the men the bureau of
mines is unable to reach with its life
saving recommendations, for they can
not understand. We have tried to
reach them in their native tongues,
but this seems to be hopeless, too, for
we find that but a few of them can
read even their own languages. What
I object to most seriously is that it
is the great horde of men of this cali
ber which is jeopardizing the lives of
the American miners. The intelli^
gent American miner has been making
much progress in safety, and if we
had to deal with him alone, the death
rates would soon be down to a par
with the natural hazards of the in
dustry, and it would not be pointed
out that this country has the highest
fatality rates of any civilized country
in the world. For the protection of
the English-speaking miners we
should educate these ignorant, illiter
ate men or keep them out of the
mines. They should be given the op
portunity of keepinig pace with Amer
ican progress and a chance to become ,
good American citizens, or they should
be kept away from places where they
endanger the lives of men who are ,
good, intelligent citizens.
“With the mining industry increas
ing in extent about 10 per cent a year, ;
the leaders believe that we need all ,
the men we can get. If that is true, :
let us give these men a decent cnance .
for their lives, and let us give the ,
miners from the English-speaking ,
races, who do undprstand thp diffl
culties and dangers, a little more
than a fifty-fifty chance for tVir lives.
“There are two points in this that
appeal to me. First, it is our duty as
citizens to make better citizens out
of these non-English-soeak’n" foreign
ers and save them from the dangers
we know so well, and second, it is our
greatest duty to furnish our own Eng
lish-speaking miners with the protec
tion they are entitled to against the
irresponsible and ignorant type of
miner who does not understand the
dangers and apparently cares so little
about them. The mad dog that is
running amuck in the mining indus
try today is the foreign-born from the
non-English-speaking races who does
not know the English language and
who in a majority of instances is so
ignorant that he doesn’t know how to
read or write even his own language.”

MUCH LIQUOR
TO BE ON HAND
IN JULY NEXT
WASHINGTON, March 13—Nation
al prohibition next July 1 will find
only about 50,000,000 gallons of liquor
in bonded warehouses, barred from
disposition for beverage purposes, if
the present demand for whisky con
tinues during intervening months. Of
ficials who have observed the effect
of high taxes in the pact believe,
however, that withdrawals from bond
will decrease under the new revenue
law, and that between 60,000,000 and
75,000,000 gallons will be left in ware
houses July 1.
It is conceded that it is impossible
So foresee the effect of approaching
prohibition on the demand for liquor
so be stored away by consumers, and
ifficials say a big movement of buying
;ven under the increased tax, may
ievelop and leave the quantity of
iquor left in bond smaller than the
idvance estimates.
The estimates do not take into con
sideration liquor which may be stored
in cellars or attics of prospective con
sumers. Nor do thev include anv
stocks which wholesale or retail deal
srs may not sell before the prohibition
waves catches them. These are not
measurable by any official reports.
Revenue bureau officials calculate
;liat at preseut bonded warehouses
2onnected with distilleries, but under
lock and key of government agents,
iold less than 90,000,000 cf the 200,
100,000 gallons in stcck when manu
'acture, ceased September 9, 1917
rnder the food conservation act. With
lrawals in January and February
lave been less than 10,000,000 or more
gallons in December, according to in
lications based on preliminary reports
’rom revenue agents.
On January first 112,000,000 gallons
if - distilled spirits were reported in
loud, including 6,600,000 gallrns not
lvailable for beverage purposes.
\bout 15 per cent of those figures
must be deducted as allowance for
eakage and evaporation from barrels.
Dn December 1, the latest date for
which itemized figures are available,
he stock of distilled spirits in bond
was distributed as follows. Whisky,
.08,846,000 gallons; rum, 606,000; gin,
5,338,000; alcohol, 5,760,000; refined
ilcohol or “high wines,” 3,744,000;
ind brandy, 2,316,000.
The normal rate of demand, meas
tred by withdrawal from bond, had
leen between 4,500,000 and 6,000,000
;allons a month until last October,
when withdrawals jumped to 8,358,000.
n November they wore 9,597,000, and =
n December it is estimated they ran
iver 10,000,000 gallons, while in Janu
iry and February, indications are that
he demand probably was nearer 9,
(00,000 gallons. Most of this liquor
was taxed when taken out of the
jonded warehouse at the rate of $3.20
i gallon. Under the new revenue act,
lie rate is doubled, amounting to
>6.40. Consequently the increase
imounts to $3.20 a gallon or 80 cents
i quart, and the aggregate tax per
luart is $1.60.
By terms of the pending bill pro
dding for enforcement of prohibition
inder the constitutional amendment
iffective next January 16, the Presi
lent would be empowered to appro
jriate for government purposes the
itock of liquor left unused in ware
louses. The price to be paid for this
would be determined by agreement or
jy a special commission. |
