Most of the deaths occurred in the main working periods of life; 86.5 per cent are accounted for between the ages of 25 and 64 as i This title includes dockmen, dock hands, dock laborers, dock-wallopers, longshoremen, stevedores ship laborers, ship unloaders. against 67.9 per cent in all occupations. More than half of the deaths, 53.3 per cent, occurred between the ages of 35 and 54 as compared with 33.9 per cent.
