Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Department of Mines of Kentucky for the Year Ending December, 1920
The Wear 1919 recorded 114 fatal accidents. The number of accidents for 1920 was 127 for tons produced per fatal accident, of these 4 were killed outside, 6 by mine fire at St. Bernard Mining 00. Arnold Mine, Earlington, Kentucky, 2 by gas explosion, 4 by powder explosion, and balance by mine cars, electrocution by wire contact, fall of roof and coal at face. In looking over the last of killed reported, it has found that many are due to carelessness of the party killed and, strange as it may seem, quite a number of these killed are old and experienced men. They seem to take greater risks and continue to do so, notwithstanding the object lessons that are given them when other men are injured or killed under similar conditions.
