To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

While the respondents have not attempted to deny the facts they have heard them grossly exaggerated by the other side. It has been asserted that mining is more dangerous than any other important occupation ; thus placing it ahead, in point of danger, not only of railway employment, but beyond those vocations which require men to ^^go. down to the sea in ships'^ or to labor in constant proximity to enormous quantities of high explosives or subject them to the great dangers which surround many ot...her forms of necessary labor. A comparison between the death rates from acci- dents of those who follow the most dangerous callings in the anthracite mines and in the American railway service follows : Digitized by VjOOQIC 54 FATAL ACCIDENTS TO MINEES AND TEAIN- MEN.* Number of Number of fatal Industbt and occupation. Number of fatal accidents accidents per employees. in year. 1.000 employees.
Mining — All inside employees 98,464 441 4.47 Contract miners 37,804 224 6.92 Miners' laborers 26,265 122 4.64 Railway transportation — Trainmen 209,043 1,537 7.35 The foregoing comparison between the death rates from accidents in the most dangerous branches of two dangerous occupations shows that 209,043 railway trainmen accept a risk that is 24.16 per cent greater than that for the contract miners in the anthracite region, 58.41 per cent greater than for the miners^ laborers, and 64.43 per cent greater than for all inside employees.
