There were 32 fatalities in February, including six men who died in a West Virginia roof-fa- ll disaster, and 38 fatalities in January. Coal production in each of the first- three months was above 30 million tons, for a total of 105,601,000 tons. The Bureau said the March toll is the lowest recorded since it began publishing detailed monthly statistics nearly half a century ago in 1912. In recent years, the previous low month" for deaths was October 1957 when 22 fatalities were reported. After a steady upward spiral the past two years, the frequency of fatal' accidents turned downward in the years first three months to 1.03 per million manhours of exposure, about the same as the annual rate. for 1954 but greatly lower than the 1.34 frequency in last years first quarter. The March frequency, largely reimsponsible for the provement, was .54 per million of exposure to the haz, ards of joining. Four of the big five states accounted for the 14 fatalities in March. These states are: Pennsylvania, eight (anthracite three and bituminous five); West Virginia, four; Kentucky, one, and Virginia, one.. Illinois, fourth in coal output in the U.S., produced 3.6 million tons in March without a fatality, in contrast to three deaths in Febd ruary and an output equaling the March tonnage. The 84 fatalities in the period through March compare with a year-ag- o toll of 144 lives in the similar period. Work time was down 24 percent beldw last year and production was down 21 percent. Roof falls have claimed more 46 lives in all than half of the cumulative toll to date. Eleven states reported the 84 fatalities in the first quarter, as follows: West Virginia, 29; Pennsylvania, 17 (bituminous eight, anthracite nine) ; Kentucky, 11; Virginia, six; Illinois, Montana, Tennessee, and Utah, four each; Alabama and Ohio, two each; and Iowa, one.
