Assuming that the average man of thosekilled could have hoped for twenty-five years in which to earn a liveli-hood, his income for that time at an average annual wage of $900, wouldamount to $22,500. For 269 men, this totals a loss of $6,052,500 to thefamilies of workingmen and to society. Compensation to the amount of $36, has already been paid in19 cases. Should the maximum compensation be paid in the 116 caseswhere total dependents were left, it would approximate $313,200. Com- REPORT OF
