20 MINE MISHAPS WELL HELD DOWN Chief Button Says That in Spite of Abnormal Condi tions Statistics Are Fair During the first five months of 1918 there were 368 fatal accidents inside of the coal mines of Penn-j sylvania and 71 outside as compared •with 379 inside and 52 outside, in the same period of 1917, according to figures by Seward F. But ton, state chief of mines. Chief Button says that this is a Rood showing. "That there should be a decrease in the number of fa talities inside the mines under the present conditions when every effort is being made to push production to the utmost, with the inevitable dis regard of some of the rules of safety, is convincing evidence that the min ing operations of Pennsylvania, not withstanding their magnitude are carried on with a remarkable degree of efficiency and with unusual care for the welfare and safety of the em ployes," said he. "The dangers that are always present in the mining of coal have been augmented to a con siderable extent by the employment of inexperienced men as a result of the drafting of many of the more competent miners." The chief says that the increases in outside accidents was due prob ably to inexperience of workmen who operate the cars or are engaged in such work as brings them close to the cars and in order to overcome these dangers he has given instruc tions to inspectors and officials throughout both the anthracite and bituminous regions to give special attention to this phase of work until conditions are normal. Children Use Telephone to Ask Time Before School While the number of telephone calls asking the operator for the time of day was considerably lessen ed following the request of the Bell Company recently that this practice be discontinued, it is found from rec ords that there were still quite a few such calls coming in. It was also found that! these calls were, for the most part, made between 8 a. m. and a. m. and between 1 p. m. and 1.30 p. m. Upon investigation it was found that children were responsible for what few requests there were for the time of day. The theory was advanced by one telephoneman that the public, seeing the request of the company and real izing its importance, refrained from asking the operator for the time of day, but neglected to tell their chil dren about it and, as a result, the youngsters were about the only ones to use the telephone for such re quests, and they did their asking just before the school hours, when every body at home was too busy to answer the question, or the children could not tell the time from the clock, or, it was pointed out, possibly the youngsters found that a good way to imitate their elders in using the telephone. "It is very gratifying," said Local Manager Fetter, "to know that the public realizes what a help the discon tinuance of this practice will be. It takes an operator just as long to an swer a question as to the time of day as it does to complete an ordi nary connection, and it is this time only—and not the expense—that we wish to save and put to the more important uses of the war program. If this need can be explained to the children, I am sure that within a few days we will find that a great amount of time and equipment will lie saved, for the children are as quick to help as are the adults."
