New Mine Safety Laws Are Needed
Secretary of the Interior Chapman called for new mine safety laws to empower the Bureau of Mines to close unsafe coal mines. He cited last year’s unsafe conditions found by inspectors at West Frankfort Illinois and Carpentertown Pennsylvania, and linked deadly explosions to those hazards. He questioned why the United Mine Workers did not push for contract provisions to fix safety problems. He argued that responsibility to close unsafe mines rests beyond the miners and companies due to national interests and worker safety.
