Government Printing Office, 1952. Trade Paperback. Hearings held at Washington, D. C., February 18, 19, 20, and 21, 1952. 491 pages. Following the deaths of 119 miner in a large explosion at a mine in West Frankfort, Illinois, the Congress passed the Coal Mine Safety Act giving federal inspectors access to mines and granting them the authority to shut down unsafe operations. This is the bound report from the House of Representatives for this historic legislation, which extended underground the reach of federal power. Scarce. Very good in wrappers (paperback), with minor edge wear. The previous owner has noted the title in ink on the spine (now faded) and wrote his name on the front cover.
