ably trie most serious effect, because
more lasting, was the migration of

The industry in Arkansas and Ok-
lahoma has suffered from other
troubles than the strike. TTiore has
'been a strong tendency on the part
•of the miners t:^ use increased quan-
tities of ■powder, and it is also statea
that dynamite is frequentlv used, a
[practice whioh is not only dangerous
to life and property hut results in
a largely increased percentage of
slack. Moreover, it is the practic
in nearlv all the mines to ''shoot
the solid." This also is extra haz-
ardous nnd has increased the quan-
ititv of «'lack so that it is now double
what it was fifteen years ago. This
results in the complaint by our las-
ers that coal which a.ppears to <be
lump coal on arrival easily disinte-
grates as a result of the' crushing
strain to which it 'has been subiected
<bv the mining methods employed.
Tn addition to the otl'e** disorgan-
izing influences, the coal industry of
the Southwest 'has suffered from the
«c ntinued competition of cheap fuel
oil and of natural gas.
The number of nien reported as
eninloyed in the coal mines of Ok-
lahoma in 1910 was 8,657, who
worked an average of 111 days. The
number of men on strike was 8,213
and the averaee time lost by eru-h
man was 152 davw, go that trip idle-
ness was equivalent t 99 per rent
of the time worked. The quantity
of coal produced for each man em-
•ployed in 1910 was 20fi short tons
for the year and 2.13 tons for each I
