Mine mishaps show deaths down in 1918 five months
Pennsylvania coal mines recorded 368 inside and 71 outside fatal accidents from January to May 1918, versus 379 inside and 52 outside in the same period a year earlier. State chief Seward F. Button credits the drop to improved safety amid high production and notes outside accidents rise from inexperienced workers near mine cars. He ordered inspectors to focus on car-related dangers to restore normal conditions.
