He was standing in his room in’the Grand Hotel, which overlooked the harber at Yokohama, when the earth- | | quake started. After seeing buildings tumble all around him and feeling the hotel rock to its foundations, he ran to a second-story window and jumped. Just as he landed on the ground the Luilding crumpled behind him, some of the debris striking him in the back. He was only slightly injured, how- ever. Mr. Benjamin graphically described how, after his rapid descent to the ground, he joined others in an at- tempt to find a haven of refuge. > sea_would be w a strong wind he plight of this | > of fire from ng it and also gh swells resulting from se manipulating the | a risk of their lives, suc- | from ' wave some time where the boat and fire.

Coal miners are not exposed to| unusual occupational risks, notwith- | standing a general belief to the con- | trary, the bituminous operators’ spe- | clal committee sald in a statement. | Railroad workers are exposed to much greater hazards than even the underground laborers in soft coal mines, the statement said, quoting a report published by the bureau of labor statistics. Coal mining, is an occupation that demands-little skill or training. Good physique is the prime requisite of success. Not- this, the etatement the statement said, added, miners make far more money than workers in other industries. “The basic wage for men who work by the day is $7.50, while men who are pald by the ton, if indus- trious, can make $15 to $20. In-| dividual earnings have sometimes gone as high as $40 a day.” The industry, according to the com- mittee, i overmanned by 150,000 to 200,000 woriers. . ' THE:EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON; D.
