Davis Calls for Enforced Labor Law Teeth
Washington April 12 Secretary James J Davis urged legislation to give teeth to the labor department and to harden efforts to conciliate wage disputes. A safety report on coal and metal mines shows deaths per 1000 workers falling from 4.71 in 1911 to 3.23 in 1919, with major accidents dropping from 413 deaths in 1911 to 61 in 1920. The Bureau of Mines operates ten equipped Pullman cars for training and rescue stations in several cities while training miners and their families in first aid. The report notes rising output with fewer miners and a less skilled workforce than a decade ago.
