WASHINGTON Nov. 24. A strati
fying decrease Is being shown in the

ing lo Van H. Manning Director of the
Hurcau of Mines.
Tho figures for 1914 which have
just been complied show that 4C8 less

The total number of men killed In all
coal mines metal mines and quarries
In 1914 was 3193. In tho year 1913
tho number wai 3.C51. "
"Tho totals do not by any means
tell the whole story" Bald Director
Manning. "There were more than a
million men employed In theso mines
and quarries and the death rate for the
year 1914 was 3.1C for each 1000 men
employed as' compared with 3.49 for
tho year 1913. Theso figures mean
that In every 3000 men engaged In
mining ono man was saved In the Inst
year. In other words In nearly
every mining enmp of any slzo In the
country thcro Is ono miner spared to
his family who would have been kill-
ed had the samo fatality rato ob-
