Excerpt from Coke-Oven Accidents in the United States During the Calendar Year 1917 The data presented in this paper were voluntarily supplied by the officials and managers of the coke companies at the request of the bureau, there being no law compelling coke operators to render a report. The bureau thanks the operators for their hearty coopera tion and invites suggestions whereby the annual report of coke-oven accidents may be improved so as to best serve the industry. The author acknowledges the assistance rendered by W. W. Adams and Miss Lillian Chenoweth, of the Bureau of Mines, in the preparation of the various tables.
