Aso, Managing Director, Aso Coal Mining Co. Ltd., of Japan, i,rho is in this country studying American mining methods. While his mine apparently works on longl·rall, he is particularly interested in using Duckbills for entry driving. Apparently he has some side pitch just as you do. He is going to be in Denver in about a week and would very much like to visit one or more of your mines from Rook Springs. You have been so cooperative in the matter of these visitors in the past that we feel no hesitation in asking if you would again be kind enough to permit this young man to see some of your fine installations. If this is agreeable, would you be good enough to let us know immediately and advise if we should give him a letter of introduction to Mr. Livingston or some other official designated by yourself? With kindest regards. Yours very truly, /s/ Lionel Farr Sales Engineer �NO. 3 �.,. .,·.

September 15, 1947 Re; File 080-3 Mr. I, No Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha 2, Nebraska Dear Mr. Bayless? On September 11th I wired you from Nev; York concerning MR. TSAO, CHAO-CHIU, which wire I presume you have received. A number of years ago an international training organi­ zation was set up whereby certain engineers from foreign countries were brought to the United States on scholarships. Under this program, the Government appealed to us to assist them in placing these engineers in mines, which we have done as a gratis effort. This organization, however, was disbanded eight or nine months ago, and the only authorized agency for placing Chinese engineers and looking after their welfare is the National Resources Commission of China, 111 Broadway, New York, which is headed by Dro To To Eoyang. Their method is to have all engineers report to them in New York before assignment and they arrange all of the details and provide them with a life and accident insurance policy, and with sufficient funds for traveling and living expenses so that they are not dependent upon any coal company for the expenses of their training. Unfortunately, in this case, possibly through some mixup in the Nanking office in China, this man was sent directly to you, and the National Resources Commission was unfamiliar with the fact that he had gone there directly and only discovered it when two other engineers reported to them that Mr. Tsao had gone directly to your Company. Had the matter been cleared through the National Resources Commission originally, this man would have known of the change in the program and would know that you are not expected to put him on your payroll. He has been advised by them as to what the present status is and consequently, I suggest that you do not make any payments to �- 2 - him and that you take the ordinary precautions of having him sign a waiver against accident or death on your property, even though the Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company of Balti­ more insures him against death or accident in the amount of §5,000, Yours very truly, /s/ James Ho Pierce PRESIDENT �:r' Rock Springs «• September 1% 1947 hr0 I. ’Io Daylcaes (CO - Mr. I.

My dear Sir: It is my understanding that a number of young Chinese nationals have been admitted to this country for a limited period of time, in order to study American industries and obtain training in our production methods, etc. The amounts which they receive from their Government, or the foundation which sets up the,funds for such training, is not very large and it would appear to be difficult for them to get along thereon. These men could obtain employment in the industry in which they are receiving their training, and I wish you would please advise whether or not the conditions of their entry into this country prohibit or in any way limit such employment. I am interested in this both from the standpoint of the national, and that of the prospective employer. Thanking you, I am, Yours very truly, /s/ J. H. GALICICH Such students as you speak of are not permitted to work for remuneration. Their Government is required to take care of them - that is the terms under which they are admitted.

Scranton Electric Bldg. Scranton 3, Pa. (co: Mr. H. G. Livingston) Deer3 Mr. Pierce: Relative to Mr. Tsao Chao-Chiu: Correspondence-began sone three years ago relative to Mr. Chao-Chiu coming to America. On August 30 he came into my office in Omaha, and I was unable to determine just what his scholarship included, and what he wished to do, as he talks and understands very little of the English language. However, I sent him out to dur Mr. Livingston at Rock Springs with the suggestion that Mr. Livingston get some of the Rock Springs Chinese boys to interpret for him and try to determine what the'setup was. Mr. Livingston tells me now by phone that Mr. Chao-Chiu received a scholar­ ship of approximately 01,700, fare included, and that he wished to go to work and be paid for his services. Fox’1 the present I suggested to Mr. Livingston that he put him on as a helper to some of our mining engineers, which will help him become acclimated and familiar with our mining practices. No doubt it will be necessary for us to pay his a wage. Therefore I suggested to Mr. Livingston that he employ him like he employs any other man, so that there will be no complications in case he is injured. On my next visit to Rock Springs I expect to go into the matter a little more carefully, and while we are perfectly willing to assist in international student relations, we are somewhat at a loss as to Just how to treat this matter. I would appreciate your writing me in detail your understanding of the setup. , Sincerely yours, aYn. Bayless �“ c o p y - PIERCE MANAGEMENT Scranton Electric Bldg.

Dear Mr. Livingston, This letter will introduce Mr. Yuan Tung of the Kailan Mining Administration who is taking the opportunity during his leave of visiting the United States and refreshing himself in regard to modern practice and developments in coal mining. Mr. Yuan Tung received his mining training at Lehigh University and so is quite well acquainted with conditions in the U.S.A. He was for a number of years Manager of one of the mines of the Administration producing some 4,500 tons per day and is now the Chief of General Affairs, in which capacity one of his major problems is the responsibility of maintaining an adequate and contented labour force in the Mines Area which, as you will readily imagine, is no easy task with the present troubled political and financial conditions in China. Mr. Yuan Tung read the report which I made to the Administration on my visits to mines in the U.S.A, and has expressed interest in the operations of the Union Pacific Coal Company and I shall be glad if you could do anything to assist him in either seeing any of your mines or in learning how you deal with labour and welfare which I know is one of your strong points in the Union Pacific Coal Company.

The majority of men C:.o not understand this, and leave theJ,i open, r e.:;ardless· of -:;1l1ere they uay be, in roor.i necks or travelin 6 nays.

"I �- 2 In reply to your letter of April 24, will suggest that after a lost-time accident, the parties involved and witnesses to the accident including the Unit Foreman, give an account of the accident to the Saf~ty Engineer as soon as possible, to get the true facts of the case. .:i.lso that the management finds out more facts on just how it happened and be a little m~re strict about the case. Accidents ·that have been happening in the Hanna Mines are due to a lot of carelessness, such aS' a nipper splicing a cable without taking off the power, causing a severe burn of the hand; also of a motorman letting a knife slip and cutting another man on the leg, resulting in a bad cut on leg which took eight stitches. These accidents should have been avoided and I think they should have been investigated. There are too many accidents of that kind and should be stopped by the Unit foreman . and the Safety Engineer, with the help of the management. Maybe we do not talk enough or raise enough 11 hell, 11 but I think it is time to do something about it. I am writing to you my ideas in regard to· safety as it was suggestud at the last meeting of the Sigr:ia Tau Bpsilon. First of all, the rooms should have plenty of timber, th1') y should be of the right size and sot up in the right plac es . Ther e should also be a clearance throughout the mine at all times . Subject: Safety Suggestion for No. 4 Tipple, Rock Springs: Our present practice at No. 4 kiinc is for the tipploman to bell the Engineer to stop on the knuckle, othurwise he comes straight through. I suggest that the engineer be instructed to stop on the lmucklu every trip, wtl.ess he gets e bell to pull onto tho tipple. ThurG is a possibility that the bull may gut out of order and the engineer may not g~t u bell to stop. If there should be a loaded trip standing on the tipplu hu would push it through the dump, with our prcsunt practice, This would probably reduce tho possibility of an accidunt by~ mechanical failure, or man fniluro. In accordance with your suggestion at the last S.T.1. meeting for suggestions concerning safety or production, I would like to suggest .that all new men, that is all men starting to work for the Coal Company, should be shown where the first aid equipment is kept on their section so that if they ever need it, they will not have to wander all over the mine to find it. liy suggestion on safety is on cross bonds, grounds and wires for lights on partings or haulage ways where the men travel back and forth to their work. Since I have been in D. 0. Clark 1Iine in 7 Seam, 2 North Parting, when coming off shift I had two men trip on a ground wire and it was just good luck that they did not get hurt. I think the cross boi:ds should be nailed dovm to the ties and the ground wires to the lights 13hould be trenched in the bottom or a flexible wire used. In regard to my suggestions toward improving :.. ,ff . i.\.,Lj' l'ucord, I have found nothing new of importance to suggest, only i r: 0. ;(::rtGI' "J.1 vraJ7. As I a.'il on a committee on handling and us e of e.:,.;:_ J..o;:;ivcs, the Book of Standards and State Laws are adequate on this. However, I would like to suggest that everyone oe Gure the power is off before taking powder to the face. Also that working µlaces be kept in as good a condition as possible, by keeping them clean and well timbered to improve efficiency and safety. One suggestion I should like to make, as a safety measure, would b~ to equip all drilling machines with clutches that will work under any conditions and at all times . �- 3 - In ~revention of Injuries from Slipping and Falling of Persons, I personally th~ tqo much can not be said of the importance of seeing that the heels of Illl.ne shoes are kept up, that is, when worn off at the back, sides, or worn down low, are replaced with new ones so that when stepping on a piece of coal, rock or ~ther object and slipping, one has a better chance to prevent himself from turning an ankle or falling, or other injury by being able to regain balance sooner as stepping on anything with center of foot will very soon throw one off guard or balance, and an unworn heel or sole can be of great help. Heads up (if not too low coal) and alertness can be of great help in safety. In regard to some safety practice as requested by the Sigma Tau Epsilon, I suggest the following: I have noticed the unsafe practice of timbering in conveyor places where Duckbills are used. Timbers are not always secure where they are subject to being knocked out unnoticed with Duckbill while it is being moved. More caution should be taken while swinging Duckbills. I am writing in regard to a safety suggestion. I have noticed as mining machines are pulled to the face that the hook on the cutter bar sheave does not get a full hold on cutter bar and it flies off. As a rule the faceman and Duckbill man are loading with their backs to the machine and the cutter bar sheave might hit one of them and cause an accident. I think that a hook on the cutter bar sheave should get a full hold of the cutter bar. I think that if we c·ould instill into the workers the thought of observing their surroundings themselves and not depend on someone else to draw their attention to what might happen, it would halp a lot in lowering the accident rate, One of the worst things that I notice·is, 11Uh Hell, that's good enough - let the other shift fix it up, 11 in other wrds .just fix it ·so we can get by for this shift. Sooner or later this practice catdles up with the fellow that does it and an accident follows. Another thought which comes to me is that when there is a change made in any working condition or practice that same should be posted at the mine so the worker would know what to expect from the Unit Foreman and a more uniform method of instructing worker would result. I believe that some of the accidents occurring at and near the working face of our mines, caused by falls of roof, face and rib coal, may be prevented by training and frequently reminding the men to sound the roof often, to keep the working places sufficiently and properly timbered and to promptly take down all overhanging face and rib coal, . . Since Unit Foreme~ make frequent visits to the working places in their sections, they should carefully observe the condition of them, promptly have.any unsafe condition corrected and explain to the men the importance of the working pr.actices mentioned herein. I. think that if all. switches were kept clean that there ·11ould be less troubl.e. Some rope riders or motormen throw a switch not paying any attention whether there is dirt between the l.atches or not and then run ti:.,.; trip in. Sometimes the latches are a little open and of course off the track th~_y go, then of course they are put on the track, sometimes spreading it, making it necessary to take track layers from another place, which is uncalled for. There are other things such as cars behind brattice, which I consider dangerous both to men and rope runners, a].so. ,rhere ,DlBfl leave- nails in boards or 2x1+ 1s, which .:iJJ a dangerou.s p.fflC'tice. �- 4xery often men, while moving the ratchet across the room face, just up an lmock out a prop to let them across the face. The -oi•op had been placed there for a purpose and should not be knocked out until ~nether has been placed as near as possible to the one to be knocked out. I would suggest a campaign be Jnade by all concerned to train our men as a whole to use this method. alk w In reply to 1.ir. I. N. Bayless' request, I am in favor of this corporation with anything pertaining to safety and feel it is our duty as Unit Foremen to offer our suggestions, and I, myself, with nearly 50 years of experience in coal mining in Wyoming and Uta.h at all kinds of "WOrk in or around coal mines and I sincerely believe that the main thing in coal mines is the careful laying of tracks to see if they are well balanced, levelled and well filled in, good clearance, well timbered where necessary, especially on haulage ways. I am always willing to do my part for better and more up-to-date practice. I'll stick to the same as I suggested to you about a month ago when you were on my section, that is the nips in the mining machine cables should be installed within fifty feet of the mining machine in room and pillar workings. The safety end of this is that as props are set it often intraps the cable so that they have to be knocked out to release the cable. It also saves time and parts. As it is, often the controller sticks, arcs and fires before you can run to pull the switch and the controller is burned to costly repair where the cable could be jerked vury hard to pull the nips apart to cut the power off. • I notice that the loads at times are wildcatted down the high line from the outside landing yards immediately after a motor trip and the nipper rides these loads until they catch the motor trip which is also in motion. At times it bumps very hard and the nipper jumps from car to car, standing up as the trip ls going down to the tipple. He gets in between the bumpers to couple on the main trip and if the trip pulls apart or gets off track he is in a very bad spot. This is a bad practice. Suggest these men read Book of Rules on haulage. Does our failure to reduce the accidents occurring on the outside serve as evidence that the men who do the work do not hear enough about safety methods to make them Safety-Conscious? Accidents due to carelessness are by far too common. Will frequent advice to be more cautious and careful, especially at the beginning of a new job, serve as a present necessary incentive? It is my opinion that the Company Rules together with the Book of Standards cover nearly every phase of the Union Pacific Operation, however no systematic study or follow through on these two books has ever been undertaken. In this connection another suggestion has been advanced by Mr. Bayless relative to a study or educational course for Unit Foremen. Why not have someone in the General Office abstract these two books, sending mimeographed copies each two o7 thre~ weeks to each camp of a part of these two books for a general talk and discussion that would cover about one hour and thus study and review the contents Qf the Standards and Rules? �Rock Springs - June 10, 1942 l.{r. ~t-tJ/ ---- Thomas Ove.rs-, f. 1!.r.

There is a possibility that the bull may gut out of order and the engineer mny not g0t ~ bell to stop. If there should bo o. loaded trip standing on the tipple he would push it through the dump, with our pros~nt practice , This would probably reduce the possibility of ru1 accidunt by~ mechanical failure, or man failure. In accordance with your suggestion at the last S.T.1 . 1ueeting for suggestions concerning safety or production, I would like to suggest that all new men, that is all men starting to work for the Coal Company, should be shown where the first aid equipment is kept on their section so that if they ever need it, they will not have to wander all over the mine to find it. 1Jy suggestion on safety is on cross bonds, grounds and wires for lights on partings or haulage ways where the men travel back and forth to their work. Since I have been in D. O. Clark 1Iine in 7 Seam, 2 North Parting, when coming off shift I had two men trip on a ground wire and it was just good luck that they did not get hurt. I think the cross bonds should b~ nailed down to the ties and the ground wires to the lights . should be trenched in the bottom or a flexible wire used. In regard to my suggestions toward improving our safety record, I have found nothing new of importance to suggest, only in a general way. As I a.~ on a committee on handling and use of e:i-..i,losives, the Book of Standards and State Laws are adequate on this. However, I would like to 6uggest that everyone be sure the power is off before taking powder to the face. Also that working places be kept in as good a condition as possible, by keeping them clean and well timbered to improve efficiency and safety. One suggestion I should like to make, as a safety measure, would be to equip all drilling machine~ with clutches that will work under any conditions and at all times. �- 3 - In ~revention of Injuries from Slipping and Falling of Persons ; I personally th~ too much can not be said of the importance of seeing that the heels of nu.ne shoes are· kept up, that is, when worn off at the back, sides, · or worn down low, are replaced with new ones so that when stepping on a piece of coal, rock or ~ther object and slipping, one has a bett-ar chance to prevent himself from turm.ng an ankle or falling, or other injury by being able to regain balance sooner as stepping on anything with center of foot will very soon throw one off guard or balance, and an unworn heel or sole can be of great help. Heads up (if not too low coal) and alertness can be of great help in safety. In regard to some safety practice as requested by the Sigma Tau Epsilon, I suggest the follow:iing: I have noticed the unsafe practice of timbering in conveyor places where Duckbills are used. Timbers are not always secure where they are subject to being knocked out unnot iced with Duckbill while it is being moved. More caution should be taken while swinging Duckbills. I am writing in regard to a safety suggestion. I have noticed as mining machines are pulled to the face that the hook on the cutter bar sheave does not get a full hold on cutter bar and it flies off. As a rule the faceman and Duckbill man are loading with their backs to the machine and the cutter bar sheave might hit one of them and cause an accident. I think that a hook on the cutter bar sheave should get a full hold of the cutt er bar. I think that if we c·ould instill into the workers the thought of observing their surroundings themselves and not depend on someone el se t o draw their attention to what might happen, it would help a lot in lowering the accident rate. One of the worst things that I notic e ·is, lll/h Hell, that I s good enough - let the other shift fix it up, 11 in other \rords .just fix it -so we can get by for this shift. Sooner or later this practice catches up with the fellow that does it and an accident follows. Another thought which comes to me is that when there is a change made in any working condition or practice that same should be posted at the mine so the worker would know what to expect from the Unit Foreman and a more uniform method of instructing worker would result. I believe that some of the accidents occurring at and near the working face of our mines, caused by -falls of roof, face and rib coal, may be prevented by training and frequently reminding the men to sound the roof often; to keep the working places sufficiently and properly timbered and to promptly take down all overhanging face and rib coal, Since Unit Foremen make frequent visits to the working places in their sections, they should carefully observe the condition of them, promptly have any unsafe condition corrected and explain to the men the importance of the working p~actices mentioned herein. • I think that if all switches were kept clean that there would be less trouble. Some rope riders or motormen throw a switch not paying any attention whether there is dirt between the latches or not and then run the trip in. Sometimes the latches are a little open and of course off the track they go, then of course they are put on the track, sometimes spreading it, making i t necessary to take track layers from another place, which is unc ... lJ d for. There are other things such as cars behind brattice, which I cons~.:.i.er dangerous both to men and rope runners, also where .men leave nails in boards or 2x4 1 s, which ~ a dangerou:. practice. • �- 4 Very often men, while moving the ratchet across t .he room face 1 just walk up and knock out a prop to let them across the face. 'l'ile prop had been placed there for a purpose and should not be knocked out until another has been placed as near as possible to the one to be knocked out. I would ·suggest a campaign be made by all concerned to train our men as a whole to use this method. l.n reply to 1ir. I. N. Bccyless I request, I am in favor of this corporation with anything pertaining to safety and feel it is our duty as Unit Foremen to offer our suggestions, and I, myself, with nearly 50 years of experience in coal mining in Wyoming and Utah at all kinds of work in or around coal mines and I sincerely believe that the main thing in coal mines is the careful laying of tracks to see if they are well balanced, levelled and well filled in, good clearance, well timbered where necessary, especially on haulage ways. I am always \dlling to do my part for better and more up-to-date practice. I'll stick to the same as I suggested to you about a month ago when you were on my section, that is the nips in the mining machine cables should be installed within fifty feet of the mining machine in room and pillar workings. The safety end of this is that as props are set it often intraps the cable so that they have to be knocked out to release the cable. It also· saves time and parts. As it is, often the controller sticks, arcs and fires before you can run to pull the switch and the controller is burned to costly repair where the cable could bu jerked vury hard to pull the nips apart to cut the power off. • I notice that the loads at times are wildcatted down the high line from the outside landing yards immediately after a motor trip and the nipper rides these loads until they catch the motor trip which is also in motion. At times it bumps very hard and the nipper jumps from car to car, standing up as - the trip 1s going down to the tipple. He gets in between the bumpers to couple on the main trip and if the trip pull~ apart or gets off track he is in a very bad spot. This is a bad practice. Suggest these men read Book of Rules on haulage. Does our failure to reduce the accidents occurring on the outside serve as evidence that the men who do the work do not hear enough about safety methods to make them Safety-Conscious? Accidents due to carelessness are by far too common. Will frequent advice to be more cautious and careful, especially at the beginning of a new job, serve as a present necessary incentive? It is my opinion that the Company Rules together with the Book of Standards cover nearly every phase of the Union Pacific Operation, however no systematic study or follow through on these two books has ever been undertaken. In this connection another euggestion has been advanced by Mr. Bayless relative to a study or educational course for Unit Foremen. Why not have someone in the General Office abstract these two books; sending mimeographed copies each two or three weeks to each camp of a part of these two books for a general talk and discussion that would cover about one hour and thus study and review the contents of the Standards and Rules? �nBCO:iJLIID,.TIOlr5 BY L:.:.TTLR FROii i~~ OF THL JIGi.i.i TAU :i.:.F~ILOi·• ~d~:.TY 50CLTY Tv Tlfu ~.:.F~TY UJGL~it It ·i s- easy to soc after an accident how it could have bec:n provent~cl.

In anSt;Jer to your request for suggestions for safety, I ::oulcl recomraend the use of leather glovea when handling r.1aterial, also that ..w.terial be piled neatly. A . M.. ~Jr~ .JJ.o �- 2 - In reply to your letter of April 24, will suggest that after a last-time accident., the parties involved and witnesses to the accident, including the Unit Foreman, give an a.ccoW1t of the accident to the Safety Engineer as soon as possible, to get the true facts of the case. d.lso that the management finds out more facts on just how it happened and be a little more strict about the case. Accidents that have been happening in the Hanna Mines are due to a lot of carelessness, such aS' a nipper splicing a cable without taking off the power, causing a severe burn of the hand; also of a motorman letting a knife slip and cutting another man on the leg, resultinG in a bad cut on leg which took eight stitches. These accidents should have been avoided and I think they should have been investigated. There are too many accidents of that kind and should be stopped by the Unit loreman . and the Safety Engineer, with the help of the management. Maybe we do not talk enough or raise enough 11 hell, 11 but I think it is time to do something about it. I am writing to you my ideas in regard to safety' as it was suggested at the last meeting of the Sigma Tau :t;psilon. First of all, the rooms should have plenty of timber, they should be of the right size and sot up in the right places. Ther o should also be a clearance throughout the mine at all timus. Subject: Safety Suggestion for No. 4 Tipplu, Rock Springs: Our present practice at No. 4 1-finc is for the tipplcman to bell th0 Engineer to stop on the knuckle, othurwise he comes strc.ight through. I suggest that the engincor bu instructed to stop on the knucklu every trip, unless ho gets a bell to pull onto the tipplu. Thvre is a possibility that the bull may gut out of ord~r and the engineer may not g~t ~ bell to stop. If there should be a loaded trip standing on the tipple hu would push it through the dump, with our pres~nt practice. This would probably reduce the possibility of an accidunt by~ mechanical failure, or man frrilurc.

One of the worst things that I notice ·is, 11 uh Hell, that s good enough - let the other .shift fix it up, n in other words ,just fix it so we can get by for this shift. Sooner or later this practice catd'les up with the, fellow that doe.sit and an accident follows, Another thought which comes to me is that when there is a change made in any working condition or practice that same should be posted at the mine so the worker would lmow what to expect from the Unit Foreman and a more uniform method of instructing worker would result. I believe that some of the accidents occurring at and near the working face of our mines, caused by falls of roof, face and rib coal, may be prevented by training and frequently reminding the men to sound the roof often, to keep the working places sufficiently and properly timbered and to promptly take down all overhanging face and rib coal, · Since Unit Foremen make frequent visits to the working places in their sections, they should carefully observe the condition of them, promptly have any unsafe condition corrected and explain to the men the importance of the working p~actices ment~oned herein. I think that if all switches were kept clean that there would be less trouble. Some rope riders or motormen throw a switch not paying any attention whether there is dirt between the latches or not and then run th0 trip in. Sometimes the latches are a little open and of course off the track they go, then of course they are put on the track, sometimes spreading :1 t . . .-Jking it necessary to take track layers from another place, which is t,:1 .. •· for, There are other things such as cars behind brattice, which I con c:.,..... er dangerous both to men and rope runners, a:],so. where men leave nails in boards or 2x4 1s, which .i.s a dangerous practice. �Very often men, while moving the ratchet across the room !ace, j~st walk up and knock out a prop to le~ them across the face. The prop had been placed there for a purpose and should not be knocked out until another has been place~ as near as possible to the one to be knocked out. I would suggest a campaign be made by all concerned to train our men as a whole to use this method. In reply to kr. I. N. Bayless' request, I am in favor of this corporation with anything pertaining to safety and feel it is our duty as Unit Foremen to offer our suggestions, and I, myself, with nearly 50 years of experience in coal mining in Wyoming and Utah at all kinds of work in or around coal mines and I sincerely believe that the main thing in coal mines is the careful laying of tracks to see if they are well balanced; levelled and well filled in, good clearance, well timbered where necessary, especially on haulage ways. I am always willing to do my part for better and more up-to-date practice. I'll stick to the same as I suggested to you about a month ago when you were on my section, that is the nips in the mining machine cables should be installed within fifty feet of the min:i.ng machine in room and pillar workings. The safety end of this is that as props are set it often intraps the cable so that they have to be knocked out to release the cable. It also saves time and parts. As it is, often the controller sticks, arcs and fires before you can run to pull the switch and tho controller is burned to costly repair where the cable could be jerked vury hard to pull the nips apart to cut the power off. • I notice that the loads at times arc wildcatted down the high line from the outside landing yards immediately after a motor trip and the nipper rides these loads until they catch the motor trip which is also in motion. At times it bumps very hard and the nipper jumps from car to car, standing up as the trip 1s going down to the tipple. He gets in between the bumpers. to couple on the main trip and if the trip pulls apart or gets off track he is in a very bad spot. This is a bad practice. Suggest these men read Book of Rules on haulage. Does our failure to reduce the accidents occurring on the outside serve as evidence that the men who do the work do not hear enough about safety methods to make them Safety-Conscious? Accidents due to carelessness are by far too common. Will frequent advice to be more cautious and careful, especially at the beginning of a new job, serve as a present necessary incentive? It is my opinion that the Company Rules together with the Book of Standards cover nearly every phase of the Union Pacific Operation, however no systematic study or follow through on these t wo books has ever been undertaken, In this connection another .suggestion has been advanced by Mr. Bayless relative t o a study or educational course for Unit Foremen. Why not have someone in t he General Off ice abstract these two books, sending mimeogrGphed copies _ each t wo or three weeks to each camp of a part of these two books for a general t alk and discussion that would cover about one hour and thus study and review the contents Qf the Standards and Rules? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Evans arrived on Train No. 17 Sunday r.iorri ing and it was my pleasure to discuss mechanical loading devices with him and to entertain him in a small measure. . He is not overpowered by the Jones Loader which he saw in the Pinnacle Mine of the Victor American Fuel Company at Oak Creek, Colorado, but believes that it has a certain usefu1ness in conveying material for a considerable distance. He states that the coal business on the Northwestern coast in in rather bad shape due to oil and to Canadian coal. iJr. Evans left at 11:30 for Salt Lake where he will spend two days, thence to Los Angeles and home. �J/t{y ~t(j ,() ?)

In our conversation with Mr. Dev,er yesterday we explained that Mr. Tachibana was a coal mining ergineer in Japan and was in t his country for a few months studying .American methods. Our correspondent in Japan requested us to kindly have Mr. Tachibana introduced so t hat he might have the opportunity of coming in contact with the Coal mines in this country. He expects to spend one day in Rock Springs, leaving Thursday evening on the 8:30 P.M. train for Denver. He is interested ini the Butler Shovel but we understand that there is not one running except 1N a mine about 120 miles distant which, of course, he will not be able to get to.

The co al tr ade her e has abso lut ely fall en to pieces during the last 6 to 12 month s and until ue ~e t to the stage of d i stilling oil from coal on a commercial basis I do not see much c han ce of a revival. The trouble in t his cou ntry is that the selling price is far too high due l ar gely to the industrial disputes r:hich are co ntinually \7ith us. My mine has been on strilce during the last 3 weeks duo to my taking a man off a. job \7h ich pre viousl y required t ,·,o men.

Hope you are enjoying pea ce in the industry there although I saw by the papers here that they had had some trouble in Colorado. I also read in the p ress th at you were having a very severe vlinter and hope you are weathering it all ri ght. Fe have h ad beautiful weather since I returned there being scarcely a '\'ieek no,1 but what we have a nice shov,er of rnin and with the exception of an odd hot day have had none of our u_sual summer weather the result being that the whole countryside is a huge garden; vii th grass, fruit, vegetables, etc., in abundance.
