1HE CAUSE OF
WASHINGTON. D. C.. (By Mail)—
Van H. Waning, director of the Bureau
cf Mines. Department of the Interior,
informed Congress that the education
of the non-English-speaking foreign
born among the miners by the so-call
ed Americanization bill should result
hi the saving from death each year
of nearly 1.000 of these men and the
saving from injury of about 150,000.
Teaching these men how to read and
write the ILiglish language would per
rm: them to read the ordinary precau
tionary s'gns in the most dangerous
mines and enable the men to under
stand the suggestions for safety given
by the bosses, according to Mr. Man
ning.
Mr. Manning glames the present
high rate in the mines to the presence
cf these foreigners from the non-Eng
'ish-speaking 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 that
their presence in the mines is respons
ible for a higher accident rate than
would ordinarily exist among the
Engiish-sepaking miners, making these
men a menace to all of the miners.
The statistics show that there are
more than 620.000 foreign-born men
employed :n the mines and that 75
per cent cf these, or 465-000, are from
the nos-Engiish-speaking races, nearly
all of them from countries where there
is no mining.
,‘These are the men the Bureau of
V.nes 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 calibre
wh ch is jeopardizing the lives of the
American miner. The intelligent
American miner has been making
much progress in safety, and if we
red to deal with him alone, the death
rates would scon 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
fata: iy rates of anp 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
-nines, they should be given the op
portunity of keeping pace with Ameri
can progress and a chance to become
good American citizens, of they should
be kepjt away from places where they
endanger the lives c.’ men who are
70sd, ntelligeat citizens.
• With the mining industry increas
ing in extent about ten per cent a
year, the leaders believe that we need
ai] the men we can get. I? that is
true, let us give these men a decent
chance for their lives, and let us give
the rnine-s from the English-speaking
-aces who do understand the difficul
ties and dangers a little more than a

50-50 chance for their 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 noa-English-speaking foreigners
and save them from the dangers we
know so well, and second, it is our
greatest duty to furnish our own Tng
lish-speaking miners with the protec
tion tbey are entitled to against the
irresponsible and ignorant type of min
er who does not understand the dang
ers and apparently cares so little
about them. The mad dog that is runn
ing amuck in the mining industry to
day 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 ignor-1
ant that he doesn't know how to read
or write even his own languages."
