impartial tribunal is created which will decide such matters, the
findings of which shall be final. Such a tribunal should, in my
opinion, be a State Board of Arbitrators, and the sooner it is brought
into existence the better.
Following this will be found a series of tables containing in concentrated
form much interesting matter pertaining to this report,
viz: Production of coal, anthracite and bituminous, for ten years;
production of coke for same period; production of anthracite and bituminous
coal and coke by counties for ten years, also number of
employes for ten years by inspection districts and counties; number
of accidents, fatal and non-fatal, in each inspection district for ten
years; number and nationalities of persons killed and injured in
11)00; a recapitulation table for both Anthracite and Bituminous
regions, and a table showing the number of fatal accidents per
each 1,000 employes for a series of years in both regions.
These tables will be of interest to those seeking information of
various kinds pertaining to the production and preparation of coal.
