It should be noted that the incidence of silicosis in the district has increased daring the year fro 16 per cent to 20.3 P** cent. While this shows an increased percentage, there as an actual decrease in unaber of sllicotics. There were aaqployed last year 1.195* this year 669 This shows a redaction of 527 in masher of sllicotics working in the mines in the Plcher field. The increase In the percentage of sllicotics noted this year is probably due to the fact that men with first stage silicosis are not barred fro the mines and during the reduction In number of men employed the old men with families ho hare In a large number of instances early silicosis hare been retained. A detailed report of the findings la this year's examinations is nap being prepared and will be tabulated and given in a future report. The percentage of each classification of the 39** **. omen and children examined for diagnosis only 1 st negative, 9.1 ; more fibrosis than normal, 69*0; silicosis, 6.9* silicosis and tuberculosis, 4.1; tuberculosis only, 4.3; miscellaneous or undiagnosed, 6.6. The figures indicate that in this group, largely made up of people outside 3- S3AIHDHV TVNOIiVN am j,v aaonaoaaaH | the wining Industry. except for a few old miners not working, the percentage of negative chests as compared with ths figures for the total given above waa higher, the pareantage of sere fibrosis than s o m l lower, the percentage of allleoala about three times lower, the percentage of ellleoela and tuherculoele three tinea as high, and that of tnhercnloels three tiaee as high.
