Report Shows Washington. D. C. (ILNS).j Lower accident rates and a gen eral improvement in safety con ditions in the nation’s anthracite and bituminous coal mines in the past decade were cited by Sccre- j tary of the Interior Oscar L. I Chapman in reviewing 10 years I of federal coal mine inspection' work and related mine safety ac tivities carried on by the Bureau of Mines. The Federal Coal Mine In spection and Investigation Act was passed by Congress in early 1041 and signed by the President May 7 of the same year. The Bureau of Mines organized and trained a small staff of inspectors who went into the field and made the first inspections in December, 1941, and January, 1942. Aunoujrh fatality rates in coal mining are still too high, consid erable progress has been made in these 10 years, Secretary Chap man said. In 1040, one miner was killed for every 606,000 man hours worked in the mines. In 1950, the rate had changed for the better to one fatality for each 1,116,635 man-hours of work. On the basis of tons mined, the rate also decreased in that decade. In 1940. the death rate was one for every 369,000 tons of coal mined, while in 1950 it was one fatality for 866,654 tons of coal porduced. Secretary Chapman pointed out that during the 9 full years that federal inspectors have been in the field — 1942-1960 inclusive — the accident trend has continued downward. The fatality rate per million man-hours worked dropped from 1.44 in 1942 to 0.90 in 1950, the lowest in the history of coal mining. The steady downward trend is shown in the following yearly rates: 1.44 in 1942, 1.40 in 1943, 1.20 in 1944, 1.11 in 1945, 1.10 in 1946, 1.22 in 1947, 1.11 in 1948, 0.91 in 1949, and 0.90 in 1960. Fatalities based on tons mined dropped from 2.30 per million tons of coal mind in 1942 to 1.15 in 1950. with the yearly rates as follows: 2.30 in 1942, 2.22 in 1943, 1.90 to 1944, 1.69 in 1945, 1.63 in 1940, 1.69 in 1947, 1.54 in 1948, 1.22 in 1949, and 1.15 in 1950.
