Many of the ratchet accidents were due to striking the solid face uith duckbills, causing handle to kick. llore ca.re and caution should be exercised \Uth respect to handling of ratchets uith special. instructions to green men. Accidents due to men striking each other with hand tools, dropping t.ools on feet, pinching fingers and hands between tools, and props, are primarily" due to carelessness and can only be eliminated by the individuals involved.

The Union Pacific Coal Company enjoys an enviable mine-accident record, suffering one lost-time accident in its nine Wyoming mines for each 114,700 man hours of exposure during the three calendar years 19 3 8, 19 39, and 1940, while the bituminous mines in the United States as a whole developed an average of only 15,000 man hours of exposure to each lost-time accident in the same period. Prior to the inception of the company's intensive accident-prevention campaign, the accident toll in its mines was comparable to that of the country as a whole. The new society, known as Sigma Tau Epsilon, came into existence with 45 charter members, the major number of whom qualified for membership by carrying the mine workers under their supervision for three successive calendar years without a lost-time accident. The organization will be maintained on a definitely democratic basis.

Byw a ter of the Uni ted S tatc-s Geological survey, and R. R. Knill, company safety engineer. President McAuliffe pointed out that the .membership is composed of men who ha,·e act ually participaterl in the saving of li fe and limb in the compa ny coal mines through extension of th e !'afety program to a point that the results have commanded att<mtion not only in the United States but In Canada and Great Britnin, as well. During the first fi ve l . rs .of the safety drive, 1923-~:i, .-i 67 ' lost-time accidents occurred, r the company mines, during the i: ' !ng of 14,368,523 tons of coal. ,, • h- t he last five- year period, 1936 0, 16,468.358 tons of coal were mi ned w ith but 163 lost-time misha ps, �Mine safety fraternity is organized llnion Pacific Coal Cmnpany unit 1nay becon1e 1nodel for nation-wide organization • W I T H the founding at Rock Springs, ·wyoming, on Februa11• 27, of a mine safety fraternity, to be known as Sigma Tau Epsilon, a new conception of safety as a bond of fellowship comes into being, and a new vista is perceived of a national fraternal organization uniting in one brotherhood the foremen at mines of all kind and degree who have won conspicuous distinction in the establishment of safety records by the units under their supervision. Fittingly, for its mines have captured the Sentinels of Safety trophy on five separate occasions, The Union Pacific Coal Company and its president, Eugene McAuliffe, an indefatigable worker in the cause of mine safety, become the sponsors of the new society. The fraternity's charter specifically bars company executives from membership. The initial meeting of the fraternity held on the evening of February 27, was addressed by Eugene McAuliffe, president, I. N. Bayless, general manager, George B. Pryde, vice president, and R. R. Knill, safety engineer, all 0£ Tl1e Union Pacific Coal Company; also James Sampson, Wyoming State Coal Mines inspector, E. H. Denny of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, and others. Forty-three foremen and superintendents of the company's mines qualified for charter membership in the fraternity. Of this number, by far the majority are unit or outside foremen, who have won this honor by reason of having carried the men under their supervision for three years or longer without a single lost-time accident. These men are the backbone of the successful practice of safety by the company organization. By the same token they will form the core of the fraternity's membership and, by the exclusive privileges of voting and holding office, will guide its course and conduct its affairs. Mine foremen having local charge of any mine which has won or in the future may win the Sentinels of Safety trophy, or in which no lost-time accident has been recorded for one calendar year, are als~ eligible_ for membership b:1t have neither votmg nor office- holding rights. Mine superintendents in general charge of any mine winning the Sentinels of Safety trophy will automaticall) qualify for membership, but a rc likewise barred from voting or holding office. Foremen who subsequ ently advance to higher positions forfeit their voting privileges but retain membership. There will be no honorary members. Thus the principle of maintaining the fraternity on a th oroughly democratic basis is establi shed and implemented. Regular meetings of the fraternity will be h eld quarterly, in addition to which there will be special meetings called by the president whose duty it is to arrange suitable programs for the meetings. No dues are to be collected from any member, and no expenses may be incurred without the approval of the general management of The Union Pacific Coal Company. Committees on safe practice recommendations, appointed by the president at the first quarterly meeting of each year, will study accident prevention methods and submit reports to meetings. Approved reports will be We sl,a ll be glad to be of service to those intereste~ in obtaining furth er information on Sigma Tau Epsi/01!. Letters on the subject will be brought to the attention of tl,e sponsors of the movement. passed on to the company's safety engineer for considerati on of the management. The underlying purpose of the fraternity, to co ntribute to the advancement of safety, is perhaps best su mmed up in the by-law which outlines the function s of the committees: "It will be unders tood that the real work of the several committees is to observe bad practice, making recommendations regarding same, t1rns ant icipati ng and attempting to prevent accidents." The emblem o( the fraternity, to be donated by The Un ion Pacific Coal Company, wi ll be a h and ·ome key, engraved with the member' , name and year of election . In commenting on th e n ew fraLernity, Mr. McAuliffe paid u-ibute to the special safety society of Lh e Hudson Coal Company, organized to function locally under the name "Safety Key Men." Sigma Tau Epsilon, the new fraternity, is the first Greek-letter mine safety fraternity to be established in connection with any branch of the mining industry in any part of the world.

I again quote from information givenme by Mro Cadwallader Evans on his committees: 11 The membership is divided into ten committees, as follo\v s: Roof and face falls - 1st and 2nd Mining Transnortation ~ Inside Handling Material - Inside Tools and Machinery - Inside Gas and Miscellaneous - Inside Explosives and Eleotrlcity - Inside Slipped a.~d Fell M Inside Transportation, Handling Supplies and Material, and ]Hscella.neous - Outside Tools and Machinery, Handling andPreparing, Slipped and Fell, Electricity - Outside Publicity "Each committee elects its own Chairman and Secretary., They !Ileet once a month in the general office for the purpose of ,i:"'8.fting bulletins of an advisory character on the ways and means of preventing injuries. They gather their informati0n for these bulletins by reviewing the reports of all accidents of their particular classification and a:so by investigating the current eccidents of the seme class which resulted in fatal injuries. 11 �Sufficient copie s of the l i st of commit t ees, with names, etc., should be prepe r ed for the i niti al use of the President so that he can make the appo i nt ments at the organization meeting 0 We should a.lso h a~re mimeogr aphed copies of the regula tion s published on pages 62 and 63 of the February issue of the Employe s ' Magazine, so that t he mJ et i ng will have something t o wo r k from , kee~ing _in mind that it is .the privilege of the Society to am end the rules where ne c essary to do so providing they kee_p\within t h e salient organizf.tio n p P incipl es 9 Please discuss this with W.ir.

All the same, the three days I passed in the mine were not among the most pleasant which my memory re-illumines. The patter of little feet and ~ perceptible sense of stir and scurry were ~ contmuous. Once I was waked up from a doze by one actually galloping across me. On the ·candle being lighted these beinas became in0 visible." Five days after his escape from Pretoria. Mr. Howard ~nformed him that he had developed ~ plan to get him out of the country which in substance was that of hiding him in a goods car, to gether with a supply of food consisting of two roast chickens some slices of meat, a loaf of bread, a melon , ancl three bottles of cold tea, the car loaded with wool packed in bales and destined to Komati Poort and Lourenco Marques, Portuguese territory. When the train arrived a crowd of Kaffirs advanced to unload it, .Churchill slipped out at the end of the truck between the couplings and reached the yard where he stood, his slovenly and unkempt appearance enabling him to mingle with the Kaffirs. He then made his way to the gates, reaching the streets of the town and there a man by the name of Burgener, a ·correspondent of l\'1r. Howard's, was found waiting without. After an exchange of glances, Burgener turned and walked off into the town, Churchill following twenty yards behind. Again we will quote Mr. Churchill: "\'\le walked through several streets and turned a number of corners. Presently he stopped and stood for a moment gazing up at the roof of the opposite house. I looked in the same direction, and there-blest visi~n!-I saw floating the gay colours of the Union Jack. It was the British Consulate." Returning to the army, the youth served gallantly through the remainder of the Boer war, taking part in the relief of Ladysmith, including the battle of Spion Kop. Eventually returning to England, Mr. Churchill was elected to the British parliament which was the beginning of a stormy political career which enmeshed him for many years, including the period of the Great War, a period consisting of alternate political successes and failures, his sending of the British fleet into the North Sea twentyfour hours before Germany invaded Belgium one of the high points of his ·career, the failure of the Gallipoli campaign looked upon as one of his unfortunate enterprises. Perhaps he was not to blame for this disaster. With a lifetime of military and political experience, Winston Churchill came to he looked upon as the one man most capable of defending Great Britain and the theory of free government against the Axis powers, a position now occupied by him. Few will question "Time's" designation-Man of the Year. IlR FEBRUARY, 194-1 DD. the ~line . A New Safety Society For Unit Fore1nen and Outside Fore1nen In Particular KN THE Safety Department of thi s issue of the Employes' Magazine will be found an outline of the organization of a Greek letter Safety Ho~or Society to be known as SIGMA TAU EPSILON, which will take place in Rock Springs on Februar 27, 194,1. The purpose of this organization i • to give due credit to the various Unit Foremen in ou r several mines who work continually in connection wi th the actual production of coal while the mines are in operation, the matter of adequately looking after the men in their charge their first and greates t responsibility. The new Society will be conducted by the Unit Foremen and Outside Foremen who are qualifi d for admission therein and The Union Pacific Coal Company who strives to keep dose to the head in mine safety effort, doubtless wi ll be justifi ed in saying that SIGMA TAU EPSILON will be the first Greek letter society ever organized in con nection with the work of mine safety. Regular quarterly meetings will be held four times annually, with special meetin gs when same are deemed necessary, and the governmen t of this society, including the exclusive right to hold office and vote, will rest with the Unit Foremen and Outside Foremen. Mine Superintendents and Mine Foremen will only be eligible for membership when the mines in their charge prove successful contestants for the Sentinels of Safety trophy. All managerial officers will be barred from membership, unless same has been attained before their promotion to various managerial offices and no honorary memberships shall at any time be established by this soctety. A suitable insignia, to be worn as a watch fob, is being designed and each such insignia will bear the name of the member and the date of his admission to the society. The organization of a Greek letter so·ciety and the work it will attempt is very largely patterned after The Hudson Coal Company's organization, "Safety Key Men," the key men of this very large anthracite company extremely jealous of their part in the organization with its fine record of Safety achievement which we hope will be equalled by the members of SIGMA TAU EPSILON. Not less than 44 qualified members will be taken in at the organization meeting on February 27th. �FEBRUARY, 1941 EMPLOYES' M AGAZINE "Let him give me food , a pistol, a guide, and if possible a pony, and I would make my own way to the sea, marching by night across country far away from the railway line or any habitation.• "He would not hear of it. He would fix up something. But he enjoined the utmost caution. Spies were everywhere. He had two Dutch servant-maids actuall y sleeping in the house. There were many Kaffirs employed about the mine premises and on the pumping-machinery of the mine. Sun eying these dangers he became very thoughtful. "Then: ' But you are fami shing.' " I did not contradict him. In a moment he had bustled off into the h.itchen , telling me meanwhile to help myself from a whisky bottle and the soda-water machine which I have already mentioned. He returned after an interval with the best part of a cold leg of mutton and various other delectable commodities, and, leaving me to do full justice to these, quitted the room and let himself out of the house by a back door. "Nearly an hour passed before Mr. Howard returned. In this period my physical well-being had been brought into harmony with the improvement in my prospects. I felt confident of success and equal to anything. "'It's all right,' said Mr. Howard. 'I have seen the men, and they are all for it. We must put you down the pit tonight, and there you will have to stay till we can see how to get you out of the country. One difHculty,' he said, 'will be the skoff (food). The Dutch girl sees every mouthful I eat. The cook will want to know what has happened to her leg of mutton. I shall have to think it all out during the night. You must get down the pit at once. We'll make you comfortable enough.' "Accordingly, just as the dawn was breaking, I followed my host across a little yard into the enclosure in which stood the winding-wheel of the mine. Here a stout man, introduced as Mr. Dewsnap, of Oldham, locked my hand in a grip of crushing vigour. " 'They'll all vote for you next time,' he whispered. "A door was opened and I entered the cage. Down we shot into the bowels of the earth. At the bottom of the mine were the two Scottish miners with lanterns and a big bundle which aften\fards proved to be a mattress and blankets. We walked for some time through the pitchy labyrinth, with frequent turns, twists, and ·alterations of level, and finally stopped in a sort of chamber where the air was cool and fresh. Here my guide set down his bundle, and Mr. Howard handed me a couple of 'Candles, a bottle of whisky, and a box of cigars. " 'There's no difficulty about these,' he said. 1 , 'I keep them under lock and key. Now we must plan how to feed you tomorrow.' " 'Don' t you move from here, whatever happens,' was the parting injunction. 'There will be Kaffirs about the mine after daylight, but we shall be on the look-out that none of them wanders this way. None of them has seen anything so far.' "My four friends trooped ofI with their lanterns, and I was left alone. Viewed from the velvety darkness of the pit, li fe seemed bathed in rosy light. After the perplexity and even despair through which I had passed I counted upon freedom as certain. Instead of a humiliating recapture and long months of monotono us imprisonment, probably in the common jail I saw myself once more rejoining the Army with a real exploit to my credit, and in that full enjoyment of freedom and keen pursuit of adventure dear to the heart of youth. In this comfortable mood, and speeded by intense fa tigue, I soon slept the sleep of the weary-but of the triumphant." Mr. Howard's inquiries developed th at the Pretoria government was making tremendo us efforts to re-capture Churchill , special attention given to the Middleburg mining region as a li kely place for hi s hiding as all of the people of England connected with the coal mining region were more or less susp~cted. Expressing his willingness to try to work lus way out, particularly if a Kaffir guide and pony were furnished him, Mr. Howard urcred that he remain quiet, assuring him that in due time plans for his escape would be worked out. Mr. Churchill's stay in the mine and his experience with mine rats, which before the coming of the electric locomotive were an established institution in nearly all coal mines, is best told in his own language: "'Here,' he said, ' you are absolutely safe. Mac' (by which he meant one of the Scottish miners) 'knows all the disused workings and places that no one else would dream of. There is one place here where the water actually touches the roof for a foot or two. If they searched the mine, Mac would dive under that with you into the workings cut off beyond the water. No one would ever think of looking there. We have frightened the Kaffirs with tales of ghosts, and anyhow, we are watching their movements continually.' "He stayed with me while I dined, and then departed, leaving me, among other things, half-a-dozen candles which, duly warned, I tucked under my pillow and mattress. "I slept again for a long time, and woke suddenly with a feeling of movement about me. Something seemed to he pulling at my pillow. I put out my hand quickly. There was a perfect scurry. The rats were at the candles. I rescued the candles in time, and lighted one Luckily for me, I have no horror of rats a~ �Rock Springs - February 18, 1941 Mr. Eugene 1.;cAuliffe: Rei' erring to yours of February 14th, 410-05: I am retun1ing u1'ld er separate cover the suggested design for key emblem. \7e think it is very attractive, and of sufficient quality.

McAul i ffe Gentlemen: Re:File 410-05 Here in our oninion is a good looking key design, but that which is f~r more important has to do with your reaction to it. The design purport·s to r.epres ent a key of one piece· construction, that is to say, the ends wi ll be modelled 1n the die, re.ther than applied and the back nf th~ key will be flat. Assuming th'.lt you wan t something of exceptionally good quality, we hRve ~igured upon the use of lOK gold, at an estimated 3 dwt. each. The price figures .. $3.44 per key so made, but at t~e out set there would bP. a die and cutter charge i: i.mounting to .. $27. 50. Because this item represents the cost of the direct labor and material without any overhead or profit, it is ma.de with the understanding that the die remains a.tall times in our possession, but available f,or your exclusive use. That has an advantage, because should at any time the die become worn, or even broken, we agree tn repair or replace it at our own exDense. Of course, we h~ve otherhualities, but we think it advisable to submit this first for your considP.ration before doin~ any more figuring. You can rely upon our assuranct'1 th4t for what WP. propose to supply, you will be ' thP. recipient of a key characterized by all the refinements of of the finest Fraternity b9_d ge. Please if you will, preservP. the sketch and let it come back to us, when it h~s served its purpose. In the meantime, tell us of any furtrer information or assistance you might require.

This effort is based on the formation of a group of ollicials known as the "Safety Key Men's Organization," briefly described by Daniel Harrington in the March, 1939, issue of the Mining Safety Newsletter. This article will outline the organization, operation and objectives of the new plan. The continuing trend from solid mining Lo pillar and caved-ground work has tended to increase injury hazards in recent years, highlighting the need for a better method of combating them. We have hopes that effective help will be provided by our Safety Key Men's Organization, as it is universally recognized that the most important single factor in safety success is selling the idea to the foremen in immediate charge of the workmen. The Hudson Coal Co.'s safety efforts always have been directed to that end, but we feel that the past never has produced a device to do it as simply, effectively and directly as our Safety Key Men's Organization. The company in the past has made various awards to foremen for noteworthy injury-prevention records. These are to ,be continued in conjunction with the award of membership in the Safety Key Men's Organization. Past awards have consisted of engraved certificates to sectional foremen who go 3, 6, 9 and 12 months without a lost-time injury; pocket knives and lapel buttons tu sectional foremen finishing a calendar year without a lost-time injury; presentation of the company safety flag to the mine with the best quarterly record; and an all-expense trip to the National Safety Council convention each 60 Selling safety to foremen is recognized as the most important single factor in success in accident prevention. The Hudson Coal Co. now approaches the problem .t hrough the Safety Key Men's .Organization-an organization of foremen who qualify because of good records and who take an active part in the development of safety rules and standards and the promotion of safe working habits, By CARL A. PETERSON Safely Inspector, Hudson Coal Co. Scranton, Pa. year to the colliery superintendent, mine foreman and sectional foremen with the best injury records. Attempts have been made in the past to organize foremen's safety organizations - membership generally being open to all who were interested. It is in this respect that our Safety Key Men's Organization shows a fundamental difference. Membership in the new organization is restricted to foremen with outstanding safety records and consequently is more worth striving for. In recognizing performance by officials it is a truism of good management that "results count--excuses won't pay bills." Our method of selecting members for the Key Men's Organization is merely the application of this recognized principle to injury-prevention. Requirements for membership in the Safety Key Men's Organization are that sectional foremen and other foremen in direct charge of workmen must have supervised at least one full year of work and a minimum number o[ man-hours without -a lo t-time injury. Man-hour minimums are : sectional foremen, 50,000; maintenance foremen, 60,000; dri ver bo ses, 75,000; outside foremen, 100,000. Mine foremen must have won the com• pany safety flag for the best quarterl y injury record at least once. Selection on such a basis, as might be expected, brought together an extraordinary group of men that everyone at once recognized deserved the honor. As they were not only genuinely interested in sa fety work -b ut also were well versed in gelling tangible results they found the interchange of ideas among themselves both stimulating and interesting. The result was an organization of such excellent human material that it sold itself to both members and non-members from the start. The group was formally organized in November, 1938, at a ·banquet at the Scranton Club in honor of the men qualifying for membership. The principal speaker was Mr. Harrington, chief of the health and safety branch of the U. S. Bureau of Mines. A dual function was visualized for the Safety Key Men's Organization from the start. First, it was to be a means of conferring merited honor and recognition upon foremen for outstanding achievements in injury prevention. Second, the organization was designed to take an active and continuous part in the company's safety program. Inasmuch as membership was to signify substantial progress in preventing injuries, it was felt that the insignia shoul8. be commensurate with the achievement it represented. Therefore, it was decided to present each member with an attractive gold COAL AG __:_ Vol. 45, No. 4 �\I' WH AT CINCIN A l MEANS TO C L J& lfil Th'. ill TI (C /& fill ffl Jill ~n TI 9nvitatfon Il WJ @ ~@ W~filill~ Jrom the :National Ghairman F OR 16 years the annual Coal Conventions and Expositions of the American Mining Congress have "sparked" progress in the art of mining coal, with the result that modernization of equipment and methods is forging resolutely ahead and coal is maintainipg its position as the nation's leading energy source. The momentum of this progress is allimportant and can -best be maintained through the industry's concerted support of these annual meetings. The 17th Annual Coal Convention and Exposition will be held at Cinci.nnati the week of April 29, ·and again will bring together thousands of mining men and manufacturers for their yearly review of the modern way in coal mining. Past experience has proved the tremendous influence which these gatherings exert toward improved operating conditions and practices and their effect on the general welfare of the coal industry. Each year, a nationwide committee of practical operating men selects a convention program covering coal's most pressing problems. The convention discussions ,b ring out the best thought of the industry on methods and equipment for eacli particular phase of operation by showing how our most progressive mines are turning coal out safely and efficiently. Coupled with the formal program discussions is the informal ·exchange, or "swapping," of ideas. Every year, also, the nation's leading manufacturers of mining machinery, equipment and supplies exhibit their products and services, with special emphasis on new developments and new adaptations of proved products. The far-reaching value of such an array of exhibits can hardly be overestimated. Through this medium , coal men are privileged each year to learn at first hand just what is available for every operation in producing coal fuel. April, 1940 - COAL AGE 0 • O~(s;OG:J~& 'u'O ~0(1 ~~ o / M lJ o D®cB@ Convention week each year renders still another valuable service in bringing together the coal-mining men of the nation. Their acquaintance and intimate association make for the close-knit industry personnel which is all essential in the cooperative efforts required in meeting harassing economic and operating difficulties. • The 1940 Coal Convention and Exposition promises to take its rightful place in the ascending order of these vital industry events. With the uncertainties facing the industry and the ever pressing question of successfully meeting the competition of other fuels, every operating man in the country should attend this meeting to devote serious study to means for the betterment of the industry. I sin~erely hope that every coal executive will attend, together with as many of his operating officials and key men as possible. Come out and give us the benefit of your help in setting the coal industry further along the road of modernization.

Ea_ch member also received a memberslnp card to be framed and huna0 in his office. 0£ a total of 173 foremen, 43 qualified for membersl1ip at the time of organization. To make it possible for them to take au active part in the company' s safety program they were divided into committees of three to five men. Naturally, each man was assigned to the committee where his record and experience indicated that he could do the most good. These committees are as follows: 1. Roof Falls (Inside). 2. Transportation (Inside). 3. Handling l'.vlaterial (Inside). 4. Tools and Machinery (Inside) . 5. Gas and Miscellaneous (Inside) . 6. Explosives and Electricity (Inside). 7. Slipped and Fell (Inside). 8. Transportation, Handling Supplies. and Material, Miscellaneous (Outside). 9. Tools and Machinery, Handling and Preparation, Slipped and Fell, Electricity (Outside). 10. Publicity. The Publicity Committee edits The Safety Commentator, the company's monthly publication devoted to safety matters, and also awards a $5 prize each month for the best safety suggestion submitted by any employee in the previous month. The other committees have the following functions: 1. Study of all accidents in its particular class which occurred on company property during the past year and preparation of ·b ulletins on prevention based on that study. 2. Investigation, as a committee, of fatal accidents in its class occurring on company property and submission of reports to the management. When a committee is studying the previous year's accident record in preparation for the issuance of a bulletin it meets every Saturday morning in a private room in the company's main office. Members of the staff of the safety department are present to furnish statistics and any other aid or information desired. At the first meeting, a chairman and secretary are elected. Copies of the formal reports covering all accidents of the type being studied during the previous year are furnished "the committee, which goes over each report separately, the secretary making notes as to responsibility, cause and other pertinent factors on a ruled form provided for the purpose. When all the reports have been studied, the commit,tee analyzes the notes, selects a subject for the bulletin and prepares a ,b rief statement of their conclusions on this topic, together with recommended safe practices to be followed to prevent recurrence of the particular injury discussed. Mimeographed copies of the bulletin, over the signatures of the committee, are furni shed each sectional foreman and other supervisors. Follo\\:~ng receipt of a ,bulletin, each sectional foreman passos the contents on to his men and instructs them as to any recommendations therein. Such recommendations therea fter have the status of company safety rules. After the sectional foreman has properly instructed his men, he submits a signed statement to that effect to his mine foreman. The mine for eman then questions as many of the men as possible to determine if they correctly understand the recommendations. When he is satisfied that all men have been properly instructed he signs a statement to that effect beneath the signature of the sectional foreman and su·bmits it to the colliery superintendent. When all employees concerned have been instructed in accordance with the bulletin's recommendations, the colliery superintendent reports that fact to the management. Bulletins issued by the Key Men's committees promote safety in a number of ways. They sell ideas to a foreman in a psychologically sound way because he does not feel that a bulletin is just another dictum from some higher-up who does not have to worry about how th e job is Lo be done. Also, the bttll etin co me fr om men who have obtained re ult by a pplyin g tl1e rules they sugge t. ect ional foremen and workmen, th erefo re, ca nnot logically oppose the practica bility of the suggestions.

SAFETY KEY MEN BULLETIN NO. 3 December 17, 1938 ISSUED BY COMMITTEE ON ROOF FALLS TO ALL INSIDE OFFIOIA.LS: Analysis of the roof-fall Injuries which occurred during the period January to September, 1938, showed that 16% of the total injuries occurred while miners were barring down loose material. It also developed thn t in most cases the fault bas been in not using the proper type bar, the one In use being either too short or bent, and the fact that the miner did not have good footing and slipped while barring down material. '£he Committee recommends tho.t o.n examination be made by inside officio.ls of all bars, wedges, etc., and tho.t they see that nil bars are nt least 6 feet long, well pointed and straight. The Sectional Foreman should take each miner and show him how he should handle hlmselt when taking down loose materlnl by the following methods: (n) Instruct him how to test his roof for sound, and •l:ly holding fingers against roof !or vibration. C,b) Instruct him that he must determine the extremities of the bad roof so as to place himself outside of the atrected area. (c) Show him how be should stand In order to have proper footing while using a bar; -h ow and where he should stand to prevent a direct fall bitting bhn and bow o.nd where he should stand to pre,·ent a slide from ·hitting him. (d) ·Instruct tbe miner that he 11hould pince blmselt in such a position so that there would be no obstacles (props, chunks of rock, boardH, chutes, etc.) In ·his way In cnHe of the necessity of a quick retreat. 62 (e) Instruct the miner that n wedge should be used when the material to be pulled down is too strong to bar down.

T·he bulletins, it is true, do not introduce new ideas on safety very often because our experie~ce has been analyzed so thoroughly in the past that we already are well acquainted with the various types of injuries and ways of preventing them. However, they do furnish a novel, timely and authoritative means of repealing safety rules already in effect, as well as an excellent method of introd ucin g new rules and modifying old ones. Forty-five bulletins were issued by the committees in 1939. Th ese have ·been reprinted in a convenient pocketsized booklet for distribution to our foremen. Upon reading these bulletins, one is impressed with the fact that they have achieved a muchneeded integration of the various safety rules applicable to the p'articular hazards with which they deal. General bulletin form and content are shown in the examples reproduced elsewhere in this article. Fatalities Investigated When a fatal accident occurs the appropriate committee is summoned to investigate. It visits the scene as soon afterward as possible, looks into attendant circumstances, questions witnesses and immediately prepares a report for transmission to the assistant general manager. This investigation and report are separate and independent of the customary investigation by the company's safety department. In initiating this practice of accident investigation ·by the Key Men's SAFETY KEY MEN committees, the management visualBULLETIN NO. 19 ized several salutary effects.

The result has been greatly enhanced ·r espect for the Safety Key Men's Organization. As_ 'it s~ll is only 18 months since ~he m~eption of the organization, it 1s obvious that we cannot say yet what permanent effect it will have on our accident record. However, as we have watched the development of the plan we have -become convinced of its soundness and merit. It will of course requir.e two or three year~ to obtai~ significant statistical results. But though the effectiveness of the program cannot yet be shown by figures, the attitude of employees and nonmember officials furnishes one means of gaging its anticipated value. The general run of our employees seem LOADER greatly impressed. Non-member officials invariably are found to be striving to make a record that will qualify them for admission to the organization. The result is an improved mental attitude and more constant attention to the accident-prevention problem. Efforts by non-member officials with records which, though excellent, still are just a little short of qualification, are particularly noteworthy. The second annual banquet of the Safety Key Men was held Oct. 28, 1939, at which time twelve additional foremen ,qualifying during the year were admitted, bringing the membership to 55. How these Safety Key Men compare in number with the total employed is shown below: Number In Totnl Safety Employed by , ,J Key Men's Clnsslflcnt!on Orgnn!znt!on Compnny Sectionnl foremen . . . 20 106 Mine foremen .... , . . 11 17 17 Mnlntennncc foremen 6 Outside foremen.... 2 11 1 7 Driver bosses..... . .

CO l Where 14 In. of Top M ust Make Possible 13.2 Tons per Man Underground INING what is termed the Eagle seam in Logan County, West Virginia, the Monitor Coal & Coke Co., Wilkinson, W. Va., now uses low-vein mobile loading machines to recover an average of 40 in. of coal under 9 to 15 in. of rash and 4 to 15 in. of drawslate. An average of 14 in. of these impurities must be handled by gobbing or loading out, and under these conditions performance per man employed undergro·und was 13.2 tons of coal per shift in August, 1939. Impurities handled brought the total output per man employed underground (coal and impurities) up to 19.3 tons per shift. The third company in Logan County to ship coal, Monitor started operations in 1905 and has been under the same management ever since. Until 1930, when the Eagle seam was opened, mining was done in the Island Creek seam. The organization has experimented with mechanical loading since 1921 and M April, 1940 - GOAL AGE With an average of 14 in. of rash and drawslale lo be handled, the Monitor Coal & Coke Co. is mining the 40-in. Eagle seam in Logan County, West Virginia, with mobile loading machines accompanied by slabbing units for cutting in the rash over the coal. Performance in Auc;rist, 1939, was 13.2 tons per man employed underground. By ARTHUR DOWNING Vice-President, Monitor Coal & Coke Co. Wilkinson, W. Va. was the first in West Virginia to load coal with a Joy machine. In 1922, a Goodman power shovel was put to work, and in 1926, over a period of six months, two power shovels load- ing into 3-ton cars averaged 275 tons per shovel per shift. In all, these shovels handled over 300,000 tons of Island Creek-seam coal. Scraper loaders also were tried by the com· pany in 1923. The Eagle-seam mine, with which this article deals, was opened in 1930 with the idea of mechanizing it from the start. Accordingly, an experimental Joy 8BU loading machine was purchased and used for about six mol}ths. But with the economic conditions prevailing in 1931, mechanical loading was abandoned for a time in favor of hand loading, which also was considered the safest in view of the physical conditions encountered in extracting the Eagle coal. Changing economic conditions, however, compelled a revision of viewpoint in 1938, with the result that the management again decided to experiment with mechanical loading to see if a system for future mining could he developed which also would 63 �• assure the requisite safety for emIn this adaptation of mechanical loading to the difficult conditions encountered underground, C. A. Cook, general superintendent, took a vital part. The first step was to thoroughly overhaul tlie 8BU machine purchased in 1930 and put it to work driving a six-heading entry two shifts a day. In the first fourteen days of work, in April, 1938, the machine averaged 165 tons per shift. In May, we decided to put the loading machine on five-days-pera two-shifts-per-day • 1 - ·ployees. week schedule. The average output over the month was 189 tons per shift or 378 tons per day of two shifts. In view of this performance, the management decided that there were great possibilities in mechanical loading and consequently ordered two more 8BU machines for delivery in July and October, the idea being to place the old machine on the spare list and use the new ones in active coal pro• duction. The new machines actually arrived in August and November, and, as they had to be coupled with Goodman slabbing machines, a new Arthur Downing Active working place in No. 3 haulage heading. Heavy broken line indicates center line of track to face 35 ft. from the camera position. Top portion of the 40-in. seam appears at the extreme left. In this heading an effort was made to hold the 40-in. immediate slate top but it came down anyway. Even so, headers will be required to support the remaining intermediate slate. Here, in No. 4 Main, 20 in. of rock is taken down. C. A. Cpok, general superin_tendent, inspects the top cut, which in this case was made in the coal .because here the frail top is principally sandstone. slabber al o was ordered, arriving late in November, 1938. Because of broken working time in December, 1938, and .January, 1939, mechanical-loading result were not good. In February and March, 1939, however, the machines worked five days a week and two shifts a day, or a total of four working shifts each day. In March, th e daily average was 798 tons, or 198 tons per machine-shift. At first glance, this doesn' t appear to be anything to brag about, as lots of Joy loaders are getting 300 tons or more per shift. However, conditions in the mine should be taken into consideration before passing judgment. All the coal came from two sets of six-heading entries with crosscuts driven 80 ft. apart. Ten of tl1e headings were 20 ft. wide and tl1e other two were 18 ft. wide. Average coal height is 40 in. and the average thickness of impurities which must be handled is 14 in. The cutting is done in the hard rash over the coal, using a Goodman 824-BA low-vei~ slabber. Rash thickness, as noted above, is 9 to 15 in. Cuttings and other material out of the top must be gobbed or loaded out. Every shift, more or less, there always are one or more places with 20 to 24 in. of rash and drawslate. Each place is timbered with four posts and halfheaders. Safety posts also are set in each place. In June and July, 1939, an average of 24 in. of impurities was encountered in each working place, and in some places the rash and drawslate aggregated 36 in. All this material was gobbed or loaded out. In August, there was an improvement in these conditions, with the result that the , �~ EM PLOY ES' MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1941 Sentinels of Safety Trophy Award At Scranton, Pa. ON OCTOBER 12th the Sentinels of Safety trophy . awarde~ by the Hercul es Powder Company, with the assistance of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, was presented to the workers of the Ol yphant Mine of The H~~son Coal Company, one of the leadincr anthra-cite rr'i'u1ing o perations in the State of Pemi sylvania. President Eu gene McA uliffe of The Union Pacific Coal Company, who made the presentation at the meeting held in the Olyphant hicrh school auditorium, 2 :00 P. M., Saturday, October 12th, said in part: " I feel highl y honored in being invited to appear before the empl oyes and officials of the Olyphant Mine of The Hudson Coal Company, who so far led the Anthracite Ivlinin g Industry in Safety during the yea r ] 939, as to win the Sentinels of Safety trophy awarded by the Hercules Powder Company. "This is the second time that this beautiful bronze representation of a mother and her little child has been awarded to Hudson Coal Company men, the first award made lo the men of the company's Stillwater Mine at Vandling, in ] 933. I hope that some of the men who worked in that mine in 1933 are here today. " The artist who conceived and executed this beautiful trophy, chose for his subject the most sacred relationship that exists within the human race, that of the mother to her child. It is a pity that more of us who are fathers do not accept our responsibilities toward our children in a somewhat deeper sense. Unfortunatel_y we are prone to leave to the mothers too many of the duties that we jointly owe our children, and they suffer accordingly. * * * * * "How to bring about the greatest measure of safety in and about our mines is the compelling problem confronting the industry today. This will not come through the mandates of either a Federal or State Inspection law. The facts are, that all that is worth while in our American form of life, came not from sumptuary laws but from an honest, conscientious spirit of cooperation between employer and workers, the last mentioned the class who furnish the flesh and blood, and who with their families endure the suffering that follows every accident. It is out of sincere cooperation and a spirit of working together that betterment will come, and you must have much of that on The Hudson Coal Company properties or you would not be gathered here today. " May I say a word as to the responsibility of leadership? From the very dawn of civilization some man, some class, has been compelled to take leadership. In the Old World political leadership was at one time a matter of in- heritance. The world has seen some glorious political leaders, kings, queens, emperors. It has also had its full share of murderou s rulers who claimed to be the anointed of God. Too often they received their power from Satan. The common man and woman, and their children, were to them merely chattels or serfscreatures to work, to suffer and to pay taxes. Tragic as it is, there has been a recrudescence of that kind of thing going on in the Old World for the past few years. Freedom of sou l and spirit has largely been extinguished in the Old World. After more than nineteen centuri e· of the teachings of Christ, much of Europe and Asia is again in another Dark Age. " Here in America the -common man has yet freedom of soul , the right to vote for hi choice of leadership and to worship God as he elc t , be he Roman Catholic, Eastern Orth odox Catholic, Protestant or Jew. He also has a full voice in the making of the laws th at govern bi s affairs, and in establishing the cond iti ons under which he works, including hou rs and rate of pay. There is yet opportunity in America for a workman lo select his emplO'yer. May I ay further, that there is a very definite obli gation on the part of the workers to select for their leaders men who have vision and capacity for leadership, and who wilt continuously try to do the best for their constituents rather than to _try to win higher office by creating strife. There are men in every walk of life who have depended on securing a<lvaircement, by creating for themselves a 'nuisance value.' o a o o Q " I here and now wish to accord full credit to the engineers of the United States Bureau of Mines and our State Mine Inspection forces, for the splendid guidance and assistance given us in attaining an increased measure of safetybut the fact remains, that with a willing and conscientious management, such as I know ours was, and as I am equally sure you have in Mr. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., and his staff, the credit yet belongs to the men. * * * * * " Before concluding the task that was given me to perform here in the heart of the great Pennsylvania anthracite field, for an industry that had its beginning in the Lehigh region 120 years ago with a production of 365 long tons, I wish to express my thanks to your Vice President and General Manager, Mr. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., for asking me to appear before you gentlemen who, through your fine judgment and persistent skillful effort, have made this event possible.

The mining machine had been pulled into place on the left side of the room. The left hand jack pipe was in proper position but the jack pipe on the right side was too near the center of the room and Andy released the friction, holding the rope going to this pipe in order to move it. As he did so, the cutter bar of the machine started to swing around to the right. It was apparent to Andy that the cutter bar would hit the jack pipe and knock it out so he ran to the right to avoid the jack pipe but his foot was caught between the cutter bar and a safety prop which was near the center of the room.

H. M. McComas, Reliance Andy Blahota, Winton Roman Larrabaster, Winton Sa£ety Council Lists Rules for Sane Winter Driving WITH the probability that fatal accidents on FACED highways will increase by as much as 40 per cent during the winter months ahead, the National Safety Council recently issued a bulletin describing the hazards of winter driving and outlining methods of avoiding them. Part of the information in the pamphl et was gleaned from more than 3,000 individual tests conducted by the winter driving hazards committee of the council. The tests were made on the frozen surface of Lake Cadillac, Cadillac, Mich., last February. Accident statistics and studies of winter driving conditions from more than a score of states supplied the other data incorporated in the bulletin. Members of the committee cited slippery pavements and longer hours of darkness as the two major causes of increased accident rates in winter. Statistics showed that 50 per cent of the ac·cidents, which occurred on snowy and icy roads, are caused by skidding. On dry roads skidding accounts for only 1 per cent of the accidents. On the basis of these tests and other information collected, the committee issued a list of rules for safe winter driving. These follow: 1. Investigate road and weather conditions before starting trips. Postpone or interrupt trips when conditions are unfavorable. 2. Keep the load of the vehicle equalized as much as possible. 3.

Editor of The Explo: swes Engineer, published by the Hercules Powder Company, the company that inauaurated the Sentinels of Safety tropl;y for the° six great branches of the mining industry. A gentle, kind. ly and gracious gentleman, he, with his six little bronze mothers and their children. his company, and the United States Burea~ of Mines that supervises the awards, are doing a splendid work, one of growing understanding and importance. Throughout the nation there are many men coming home daily from the mines and the quarries who owe their lives and limbs to this inspiring movement. Since the inception of this splendid work in 1925, no less than 77 separate presentations of the trophy have been made to 77 groups of men. Honest competition is the life of all progress and this competition is conducted along high lines. Mr. Marvin, we are all deeply indebted to you." The second meeting of the day, in the form of a dinner given by The Hudson Coal Company to its "Safety Key Men," was held at the Scranton Club at 7 :00 P. M.; some 65 operating officials who had been presented with the company's gold Safety Key emblem were present, together with a number of the company's operating officials and guests, Mr. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., acting as toastmaster. After dinner, those present indulged in a period of singing popular songs, a number of Welsh voices adding tone and volume to the impromptu concert, Mr. McAuliffe again addressing the meeting on how to obtain the maximum measure of mine safety; altogether the event was a most momentous one. At the conclusion of the meeting, eleven new winners of the Safety Key received the emblem which has, on The Hudson Coal Company property, become a real token of superior leadership in the work of reducing mine accidents. / / Winter Driving Rules (Continued /rom page 487) passing beam.

Our first ;,election: "THE LONG HILL" " I must have passed the ·c rest a while ago And now I am going downStrange to have crossed the crest and not to know, But the brambles were always catching the hem of my gown. ·'All the morning I thought how proud I should be To stand there straight as a queen, Wrapped in the wind and the sun with the world undermeBut the air was dull , there was littl e I could have seen. " It was nearly level along the beaten track And the brambles caught in my gownBut it's no use now to think of turning back, The rest of the way will be only going down." The second of Miss Teasdale's verses chosen is: " EFFIGY OF A NUN" " (Sixteenth Century)" "Infinite gentleness, infinite irony Are in this face with fast-sealed eyes, And round this mouth that learned in loneliness How useless their wisdom is to the wise. "In her nun's habit carved, patiently, lovingly, By one who knew the ways of womankind, This woman's face still keeps, in its cold wistful calm, All of the subtle pride of her mind. "These long patrician hands, clasping the crucifix, Show she had weighed the world, her will was set; These pale curved lips of hers, holding their hidden smile Once having made their choice, knew no regret. 'fShe was of those who hoard their own thoughts carefully, Feeling them far too dear to give away, Content to look at life with the high, insolent Air of an audience watching a play. "If she was curious, if she was passionate She must have told herself that love was great, But that the lacking it might be as great a thing If she held fast to it, challenging fate. "She who so loved herself and her own warring thoughts, Watchi~g their humoro\is, tragic rebound, In herthick habit's fold, sleeping, _sleeping, Is she amused at dreams she has found? " Infinite tenderness, infinite irony Are hidden forever in her closed eyes, Who must have learned too well in her long loneliness How empty wisdom is, even to the wise." In a lighter vein we have chosen a poem b Charles Edward Carry!, born in New York City, December 30, 1842, an ofTicer and director in various railroads, who wrote many lively and di v rting ballads. Mr. Carry! died in Boston in 1920. Our selection relates to that old friend of millio ns of boys and girls: " ROBINSON CRUSOE'S STORY" " The night was thick and hazy When the 'Piccadilly Daisy' Carried down the crew and captain in the sea; And I think the water drowned 'em ; For they never, never found 'em And I know they didn' t ·come ashore with me. " Oh! 'twas very sad and lonely When I found myself the only Population on this cultivated shore; But I've made a little tavern In a rocky little cavern, And I sit and watch for people at the door. "I spent no time in looking For a girl to do my cooking, As I'm quite a clever hand at making stews: But I had that fellow Friday, Just to keep the tavern tidy, And to put a Sunday polish on my shoes. "I have a little garden That I'm cultivating lard in, As the things I eat are rather tough and dry; For I live on toasted lizards, Prickly pears, and parrot gizzards, And I'm really very fond of beetle-pie. "The clothes I had were furry, And it made me fret and worry When I found the moths were eating off the hair; And I had to scrape and sand 'em, And I boiled 'em and I tanned 'em, Till I got the fine morocco suit I wear. "I sometimes seek diversion In a family excursion With the few domestic animals you see; And we take along a carrot As refreshment for the parrot, And a little can of jungleberry tea. ��lc;\-1:·=:.

Direct falls were responsible for 51 and indirect falls for 23 fatalities. Of tr1ese 74 fatal injuries 13 occurred in the Hudson Coal Company's mines. What will the next three months show? This we do not know - but we do know that most roof fall injuries can be prevented. A few minutes time and thought and the necessary precaution is all tha t is required. Durins- the year 1938 over 85 9 000 man-days were lost due to injuries sustained by employees of our company. This resulted in a loss of approximately $,425p000 in wages. If for no other reason 9 we should all realize that an injury avoided or prevented means more earninss. While the monetary loss is something to think about it cannot be compared with the untold suffering and misery resulting from these injuries. ~ranspo~tation injuries are all too numerous. !den engaged in this work are constantly reminded about working safely. Instructions and safety rules to cover all classes of transportation are in effect but too often they are forgotten. Forgatten until a missing member or other injuries serves as a reminder. It is too late then. • i';e should all realize that safety bulletins are for our protection and benefit. It is only by constant thought and vigilance that injuries can be prevented. -By Jack Hodgsonp Miles Slope. �12 NATIONAL SA.EETY CONGRESS 1940 The Hudson Coal Company was we 11 represented at the National $afety Congress held in Chicago, Ill., from October 7th to ll th.

The flat corn-growing prairies of the middle west, so difterent from our Pennsylvania hills, were scenes of interest to the group ad<.iing an unanticipated delight to the trip. The Stevens Hotel 9 which housed the Congress 9 is the largest in the world and it was entirely possible for a delegate to attend all meetings as well as find all of the necessities and amusements within the hotel portalso for example, he had the choice of six restaurants, all of ample size to acconmodate their diners and all available without leaving the building. When it is considered tnat over 10,000 persons attended the Congress and that the hotel had its �13 regular customers to care for and that uncomfortable crowding was not noticeable, some idea of its size may be formed. In audition to the convention meetings, an exposition which included safety exhibits from many manufacturing companies was held in the mammoth basement of the hostelry. This alone createu much absorbing interest among the members of the Congress. ~ost interesting to the Hudson Coal Company delegation were the sessions of the Mining Section.

It �14 w3s very favorably reoeivedo .Afllong those who had journeyed to Chicago to learn more about safety was James Gray of Birmingham 9 Alao 9 formerly employed by our company and who is now Chief Inspector for the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. IvTro Gray was well known and liked by many in our region while he was here and by his subsequent success testifies to his ability. .He stated that the other men who had left here to go with the Tennessee Company were all well and advancing in their chosen occupations. In order to enliven the Congress ancl provide entertainment for the families of delegates a number of social afi'airs were provided, including a President's Dance, a Mining Section Luncheon 9 a banquet of the entire safety congress and a dance and fun-fest, whiah featured in its floor show some of the best in the country. --~ Contributed by Henry ~ull, Sectional toreman 0 marvine Colliery.

Vie are giving this matter due consideration and we attach, hereto, copy of report by Safet:r Engineer Peternell, dated December 20, 1946, this subject. The first step in keeping the G.'llployes informed of progress will be the posti~ of a large scale graph ut cc1.ch roin8, graph approximately 24" x 36", sho.-1ing in blnck the trend during the previous year and in red the trend durin6 the current yea r, v1hich will be extended by months by the Safety Department. 1::e will transmit copy of the graph for your inspection at an early date. We believe the visual items mentioned in Mr. Peternell Is report have merit. . i'ie can obtain motion pictures for our safety 1IJ:1etings and we believe that photographs taken on the property, with scenes staged for safety violation and pictures posted on bulletin boards, would be helpful.

You should also have it distinctly understood by the supervisory staff that injury reports must be made promptly by.the foremen in charge of the work, and no injury report will be made from hearsay, as was the case at Winton. ,\ - - '::, \(~ �Q ••• . ·-· " il't ... -··"' ·. -,..:- ... _..,.1 ) ~ ., .. - • . ...... ,~ '\ - \ ~ I •' • l.' - t:J, /. �MARCH 1946 (Estimated) Man Hours 628,800 Injuries l\.'lan Hours Per Injury 104,800 1945 6 PERIOD JANUARY l TO MARCH 31 Man Hours Injuries LT.an Hours Per Injury Rock Springs, Wyoming March 31, 1946 1946 (Estimated) 1945 1,935,409.,. 22 87,973 2,077,823 18 115,435 �tlm. o.

Livingston: The safety record for January, 1946, shows a further decline in man-shifts worked per injury, and •with one fatality, it indicates that we are not off to any too good a start for the year 1946. Therefore, I would suggest that you ask Mr. Murray, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Peter•nell to attend local staff meetings at all districts in an effort to work up some enthusiasm in our safety program. You realize, of course, that it is easy to lose ground, but requires definite effort to regain lost ground. ·- ··-- . - ... • •. • 1- •• ~ 'd 1- , ' l- ~ - a \I r-·.·. ) :~:: ~ ·=-: ~ J 9.,·;c :: :- 1<-:-: ~~r.:r.

Clark Mine , Suocrior , Wyoming on the morning shift, M 25 , 1960 indicates that Mr . Jamee Smith and Albert Omoda were working on what le known as the m1dn1ght or early morning shift and vere assigned to transoort a motor and control panels to a recently oonetructed hoist room at No . 2 Slope, No . 7 Seam . Thi a material was 1n mine onre and an 8-ton haulage locomotive was used . man , Mr . Steven L. Unit Fore- ooompan1ed the~c men to supervise the work . After unloading the equipment at the hoist room, the men cleaned up some coal along the slope and rerockdusted the slope and hoist room which 1s above the ms1n entry parting . pproxi mately 4,000 feet Mr . Thomas Miller, Fire Bose, ¥as the first man to reach the inJured men, and reports that these men had videntl7 used the locomotive· as n means or trans~ortat1on to the outside parting at the end or the shift , and they had three loaded mine oara. They ev1dentiy failed to use auft1c1ent skids or brakes on the trip to control it and lost control of the locomotive on hich the men were riding , and the locomotive derailed pproximatel7 7Q feet above the ma1n parting or sidetrack and threw these men sga1nat the rib or coal . The three ot them were seriously injured. James M. Smith died at the Memorial Hospital on Ma7 27; the other �i - 2 - men , Steven L .

We pcraonolly investigated the accident on the morning of Uoy 25 after receipt of telephone call at approximately 7:00 A.ti. on that date advi1ing of the accident. �-2Our investigation clcvolop3d that ·i;h0 throe men v1ere assigned nork on the no .. 3 Shift reporting fN" VJOl"'k at; lli 30 '?.11. on ''icdnesday, ~!ay 24, and their shift scheduled to ond a'i:, 7 8 30 A.M. on liey 25.

'i'lie uere advised by the fire boss, Thomas l!illerl) tho.t due to tho oen not reporting at the nain pa.rting of No. 1 Slopa, r:o. 7 Seam, nt approximately 7:00 A.t. that he traveled into the main purl.in,g of No. 2 Slop3 location and found the three cars and locomotive derailed apprmd..ma·liely 75 feat fro:a the slopo s,·,itch; also that he f' ound l.:essrs. Snit.h 3 Br.hel and Omoda tlong the low rib at the pillar point in e.. semi-conscious condition and it ~as hi.a opinion that they \'lore thrO\"m i'ro:n the trip due to same being out of control nnd d.erallcc:l upon entering the r,:,n.in pn.rtine snitch. The lunch buckets of tho three men \"Tero found at tho scene of tho • accident and all indicntiona nre to the effect that they were leaving their working place ancl using tho locomotive and three cars as .rn.eans of transportetion to the no. 2 3lopo Unin Parting et the time or the P..ccidcnt. \'le there- fore conclude thot tho occident occurred at the end of the t'lorking shitt • The rules governing the operation of the motor trip at this location require the uee of t,10 shoes or ekide on the pit cors. One shoe or ekid was found in the center of the track approximatel,y 2,000 feet above �3the point of accident o observed. I1o othei" ov-idence of use of skids or· shoes rias ;ie therefore assune that, t,he rules governing the operation of the trip ·nere either not oboorvcd or tho shoe left the tJheel nnd rail du0 to excessive rate of speed 01. the ·Gz-ipo A check of the condition of ·e,!10 haulage locomotive was rrir.de immediately follo·r1ing the accident. The sanders nere full and oparating,; th0 mechanical brake and dynamic brake 20chanism 11ere also in good opera.ting condit,ion. We had hoped to ifain some further information from the injured ;:,;orknen, but due to their physical condition vie have been unable to secure ~rthine from this source. It is our opinion that tho accident was caused by violation of safety rule in employing shoes or skids to the descending trip. Due to the length of locomotive haul involved and the gradient, orders were issued on May 25 to discontinue the use of locomot,ive haulage and complete the hoist installation before ,axecuting any further devalop- ment work 1n this area.

I received your letter of November 24 with copy of Mr. Peternell 1 s report of injury to William L. Russell in D.O. Clark Mine, injured November 16, 1950. An injury of this kind appears to be so usele~s and indicates a definite lack of instructions to haulage men. I understand that there was very little coal being mined in the No. 9 Seam and the haulageway was not in any way crowded, and the'peculiar circumstances under which Mr. Russell was injured may cause an investigation by the Federal inspectors and elicit some criticism. I would sugge·s t that another campaign be put on to inform all supervisors andhirv~e them in turn to instf'uct all haulage men as to the proper handling of mine cars underground. All haulage men should bo instructed in the dangers of coupling cars while moving, or attempting to couple cars on the short side of a curve; and they should be instructed not to get on the low or close side of the tracks under any circumstances while cars are in motion. Our foremen should be instructed to keep familiar with our book of standards and book of rules. RECEIVED DEC 21950 �_______!',...- - - - - - -- Rock Springs - November 2l~, 1950 r.rr. I. N.

Welch, bony picker, at Reliance. This represents a condition that should be thoroughly investigated. It the conveyor sto.rted up without any controls being handled, then the wiring would have to be defective. If the conveyol' wae started by the use of the controls while IY:r. ;folch was in the position he was on the conveyor, handling the screening plate, it represents a lack of proper caution and, to say the least, a very dangerous practice. Suggest that you have a thorough investigation mad.e and bring this to my attention for further discussion. �Reck ~iprincs - Lo.y 21+ , 1950 �Eoc '. c Spriur;s - fja.y a . 1960 I }-----.:.,..

As you know, we are fully mechanised, however our seams are pitching seams end in all instances we are not able to efficiently us? some of th? equipment that is being developed end used in level seam mining. However, w? do have two Con­ tinuous Miners in operation, one at our D. 0. Clark Mine, Superior, Wyoming; and one at our Ho. 11 Mine, Reliance. also have a number of Joy loading machines and shuttle cars working on these pitching seams. Therefore your men will be able to see additional machinery which was not in operation at the time of the visit of Mr. McLennan and hie associates. You no doubt are kept informed by news items and radio on our steel labor controversy. This, together with transpor­ tation, communications, etc., makes for a certain amount of confusion in this country. Cur coming presidential election, however, appears to be most important due to the issues that will be debated. Ve, like everyone else, would be happy to see world tension relaxed somewhat. 1 will be very haouy to meet Mr. Pearce and Mr. Knowles: and I am still hoping that you will be able to visit this country, enabling us to meet. Please remember me to the members of your staff who have visited this country, and best wishes to all. Sincerely yours, t-H-.-aui �-copy- THE BROKEN HILL PROPRIETARY GO. LTD. 422 Little Collins Street Melbourne, G.l,Australia 7th April, 19b2 Mr. I. No Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha 2, Nebraska U.S.A. Dear Mr. Bayless: It Is with much appreciation that I recall the kindness and assistance that you and youi' company have extended to members of our organisation who have visited the United States, and in saying this I wonder if I may make a further call on your generosity. The position, as you know, is that we have had in hand for some years an extensive programme of coal mine development and mechanisation, which has now reached an advanced stage;we are now feeling the benefit in our overall operations of the considerable amounts of effort and money expended. With the furtherance of this plan in mind, we have decided to send to the United States two more of our coal mining personnel, namely, Mr. H. L. Pearce, Manager of our Nebo Colliery (one of our newest and most highly mechanised mines), and Mr. H. C. Knowles, who 1g the Maintenance Engineer for our Southern Coast Collieries organisation. I would be very pleased indeed if they could have the pleasure of calling on you and perhaps also meeting some of your officers. With this thought in mind, I have taken the liberty of providing them with a letter of introduction to you. The purpose of the visit is, of course, primarily to study the latest development in underground mining practice, more parti­ cularly simultaneous cutting and loading of coal, roof bolting, mechanical loading of pillar coal, shaft sinking, drift driving, etc., and the equipment side generally. Therefore, if it would be convenient to you, and they could be permitted to see some of the operations on the mining side under your control, then I can assure you that the experience would be most helpful, and I person­ ally would be most grateful. They have been booked to leave Australia by air for San Francisco on 16th April, returning towards the end of July. We have been having a busy time out here in Australia, and as we stand now we have years of work ahead of us. Generally speak­ ing, our operating conditions have improved considerably over the �- 2 - past six to nine months, mainly as a result of increasing fuel supplies, which in turn have resulted from the programme to^whlch I have referred above, and to better continuity of work from the miners themselves o In the Steelworks we have been comparatively free from labour troubles and overall production is on a much more heartening basis« At Port Kembla, which has been the scene of most of our recent developments, they are producing at a better rate than ever before<, I hope that I myself will have the pleasure of meeting you in the not too distant future, either in the States or here in Australia, should you be contemplating a visit to this country. In sending my best wishes, I also pass on the kindest regards of Mr. Ian McLennan who is at the present time absent from Melbourne o sincerely, /s/ N.

Ao Morris of our South Coast Colliery Organization and they hold the respective positions of Assistant Superintendent of Col­ lieries and Supervising Engineer. You may recall from previous correspondence that we operate four collieries on the northern New South Wales Coal­ fields adjacent to our Newcastle Steel Works for the production of coking coal and now have five collieries on the South Coast field feeding the Port Kembla Steel Works, Our northern mines have for quite a number of years been operating on a fairly high degree of mechanization and in the South Coast mines we are currently spending quite sub­ stantial sums of money in furthering our development and mechanization programme there. In fact we have now reached the stage where 90 per cent of our output from these latter mines can be mechanically cut with 78 per cent mechanically cut and loaded. In 1947, when our Mr. Heywood Wilkinson and Mr. John Grierson visited the United States of America, you and your company were very kind and also most helpful in assisting them and they greatly valued the opportunity of viewing the opera­ tions under your control. Whilst I do not wish to transgre'ss on your generosity, I have taken the liberty of handing Mr. Hams and Mr. Morris a letter of introduction to you in the hope that it may be convenient for you to receive a call from them. I do hope also that it will be convenient for them to call in at Rock Springs and if such proves to be the case it would of course suit their programme best if they could do this �on their way East from San Francisco0 I am therefor© sug~ gestlng to them that as soon as possible after their arrival in San Francisco they make known to you the fact that they are in the States and also to your officers at Rock Springs, at the same time enquiring whether an arrangement as suggest­ ed above would be convenient to youo They will travel by air to the United States and should thus arrive in San Francisco during the latter part of August 0 Needless to say for any kindness or assistance you may be able to extend to these officers of ours I shall be most gratefulo With kindest regards and best wishes, Yours sincerely, /s/ (Illegible) �N0» 3 �Rock Springs, T/yoning December 31, 1949 Bear Friend ’.'ilkinsons For the tliree years I have received your Christmas cards and am Glad to receive then as I know you are still en­ joyin’ life. I am writing you just a far/ linos to wish you a prosperous and happy new year for 1950. ’.'u are all very much alive around Rock Springs, minin; some 3,450,003 tons for 1949, our production being curtailed quite a bit by work stoppages which you havo probably read about in the various newspapers of your country. V.e have installed a few units of shuttle cars, top cutting machines that cut up to 13’ liigh and 14 BU Joy loaders with shuttle car units. If labor conditions permit, we will probably also Install a courilc of continuous minors durins ^he year and may also pick out a couple of places on the property where we can do some strip .mining unless the Railroad goes entirely to oil, which they are considering very seriously.

I note you state you are endeavoring to get air transporta­ tion from Chicago to Cleveland the morning of May 12. Cleveland is an ovex1 night's ride from Chicago and unless these gentlemen wish to spend Sunday night in Chicago, they would gain nothing by staying in Chicago over night and going by air to Cleveland. They can take a train out of Chicago any time before midnight Sunday, arriving in Cleveland Monday morning.

I am suggesting this for the reason that the American Mining Congress meets in Cleveland, Ohio, on May. 12, and if they arrive in Rock Springs the latter pert of April or first of May, it will give then tine enough to go through our sines and then I think they should go to Cleveland for the Mining Congress meet, which will be. four days. They will be able not only to meet practical and technical men of the coal industry, but they will have an opportunity to hear read and discussed both practical and technical papers. They will also be able to view all the modern mining equipment, together with certain improvements which probably have not yet been tried out in coal mines. I expect to attend this Congress meet, and if you will advise, I will make necessary hotel reservations for your men in Cleveland. ’ Sincerely yours Original 2. N. BAYLES; �copy- THE BROKEN HILL PROPRIETARY COY. LTD. 422 Little Collins Street Melbourne, C.l, Australia 25th March, 1947 Mr. I. N. Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street OMAHA 2, NEBRASKA U. S. A. Dear Mr. Bayless: I acknowledge and thank you for your letter of the 21st ultimo and do appreciate the sentiments expressed by both yourself and Mr. McAuliffe. It is indeed good of you to offer such ready and full assistance to our two officers, who are now programming to leave Australia by air on 20th April. If it suits your convenience, I will arrange for them to go straight to Omaha after their arrival in San Francisco and they should therefore make contact with you some time dur­ ing the last week of April. I will, of course, ask them to contact you on arrival at San Francisco to confirm their movements. In the concluding paragraph of your letter you asked for certain data concerning our mines, which would enable you to include in their itinerary collieries with conditions some­ what similar to those existing here. As you may know, we are operating three collieries near Newcastle for the production of coking coal and also three collieries on the South Coast, feeding Port Kembla. In addition to the three last mentioned, we are at present developing a fourth colliery and winning coal from a new tunnel of one of our existing collieries. 1 attach a sheet setting out the particulars you asked for and I also attach some notes on our Northern collieries which may prove of general interest to you. I am also arrang­ ing to have some brief notes prepared covering our Southern collieries and these will be forwarded on to you as soon as they become available. At the time of writting you last month I also wrote Mr. Humphrey of the M. A. Hanna Company and the present inten­ tion is that our officers should contact these people at Cleveland after visiting some of your activities. Again many thanks for your ready cooperation in this matter. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, /s/ Essington Lewis �THE BROKEN HILL PTY. GO. LTD.

"John Darling” Colliery is situated at Belmont, 12 miles south of Newcastle on the eoast. Area of the colliery holding is 10,000 acres including land and under sea coal. The area of sea coal is 5,000 acres. The nino employs 580 men. Two vertical shafts, 22 feet in dia., concrete lined, are sunk to the Borehole Seam, the depthto the floor is 878 feet. Nine seams of coal were passed through/two of which are worked the Victoria Tunnel .atc 650’ and the Borehole at 873’. Victoria Seam has a total thickness of 10’ 6” of which 5’ 9” of the bottom portion is mined, the upper part is made up of inferior coal and clay bands. These clay bands swell where there is any damp­ ness and cause roof falls up to 8 feet. At this height the roof is fairly good. All main haulage roads are excavated to the 8’ parting. Above the coal seam the strata is a blue shale. Method of work is bord and pillar. and pillars 17 yards. Width of bords are 8 yards All coal mined in this seam is mechanically cut, bored, loaded and hauled. Heavy track mounted mobile coal cutters undercut the coal for a depth of 8' 0”. The weight of the machine is 9 tons. The H.P. of the driving motor is 50 and this motor is only used for cutting. A 20 H.P. motor is fitted to the machine and drives the tramming gear, and elevating screws for tilting the cutter bar. Bower is A.G. 415 volts, 50 cycle, 3 phase. Each machine has 100 yards of 165/016 4 core flexible trailing cable attached to a reel on the machine, 3 cores are power and 1 earth. The other end is fitted with a plug which fits into anyone of a number of Terminal Boxes fixed to the main armoured cables from the supply source. The time taken,to cut an 8 yard bord 8 feet deep, including sunping in and out, is 25/30 minutes. Shot holes are bored with hand held drilling machines electri­ cally operated on a 125 volt, 3 phase, 50 cycle circuit. A small , transformer, 415 to 125 volts, is carried on the coal cutter. The drilling machine is supplied with power through a 5 core 140/010 flex­ ible cable, 3 cores for power, 1 earth and 1 pilot core for earth leakage protection. Starting and stopping is operated on 32 volt circuit/ The weight of the drilling machine is 45 lbs. Tungsten Carbide Tips are used throughout for drilling, the tips being brought out at each end of the day for regrinding. �- 2 - Mechanical Loaders are heavy track mounted mobile machines weighing 12 -tons. Loaders are electrically operated by a 50 H.P. motor. All slewing and lifting movements are done hydraulically. Gable arrangements are same as Coal Cutter. Loaders can load 6/8 tons per min. when conditions are good. □even shots are fired electrically in each Lord by a certifi­ cated shotflrer. No pillars are being worked at the moment owing to the state laws prohibiting the use of mechanical appliances in pillar extrac­ tion. Locomotives at the face are 11 tons including battery, operated by 2 - 17 H.P. motors driving each axle through one set of gearing. Batteries ax-e lead acid and alkaline and are charged at the end of each working shift. Manual operated brakes apply to each wheel set. Sanding equipment is provided'at each end of the chassis. All batteries are charged and repairs attended to in a fire proof room near the pit bottom, where any gases given off from bat­ teries pass direct into the return airway. Motor Generator Sets for charging batteries are located in a fire proof room adjacent to the charging room. Main line haulage are 3 - 20 tons Trolley Wire Locomotives operating from overhead wire with rail return at a voltage of 250 D.C. The overhead wire is suspended by insulators fixed into the underside of a 511 x 2§“ steel channel, the latter fixed to the roof. On each side of the steel channel are sheet guards fastened to the sides of the channel with bolts and springs which allow the pole to open the guard, the spring closing same after the pole has passed through. 0 The channel and guards are insulated from the roof and is so arranged that should an insulator break down or the 1 channel or guard become energised by any other means up to 25 volts potential, the power is automatically cut off at the switchboard of the Motor Gen­ erator Set. The electrical supply to the trolley wire is from 500 H.P. Motor Generator driven by an A.C. Motor. General repairs to locomotives are done in a fire proof room fitted with a 5'ton crane and necessary tools. All tracks for main line haulage are laid with 60 lb. rails on xjooden sleepers with welded plates across joints for earth con­ tinuity. Water for topping up batteries is distilled underground and located at a point where it can be gravity fed to a battery in any �of the rooms mentioned. Provision is made to change a discharged battery during the shift should it be necessary to do bo. This is done by manually operated gear which pulls the discharged one off concurrently with pulling the charged one on. Spare batteries are kept for this emergenoy. Provision is also made to cut the power off- the overhead wire in the event of the main ventilating fan stopping for any reason, and is accomplished from a hinged plate held in position between the intake and return airway by the suction of the fan. Should the fan stop the hinged plate is so arranged that when it opens it trips a circuit which in turn shut down the generator. Skips used in this seam carry 5 tons of coal and are fitted with drop bottom doors. These discharge into a 75 ton storage bin. The coal is fed out of this bin by chain feeders onto a 421* wide rubber belt 500* centres and discharges into 3 ton skips for hauling to the surface. Water from the mine workings is collected in a dam near the shaft bottom and is pumped to the surface by a 6 stage Centrifugal Pump running 1,500 R’.P.M. and driven by a. 130 H.P. A'.C. Motor. The rising main to the surface is a 6" mild steel pipe. The pump delivers 25,000 gallons of water per hour at a total head from all causes of 710’. Electrically operated pumps deal with water from the workings to shaft bottom. Borehole Seam. The thickness of the seam is 7* 3n. The portion being worked is 5’ 9” and is above the 1’ 0” of inferior coal on ths bottom. The strata above the coal seam is a dark shale up to 2 feet in thickness, and is troublesome in working the coal. It has no supporting properties and invariably falls at the working faces. It varies in thickness from 9” to 2*. Above this is another ohale but fairly strong and sakes a good roof but has to be timbered on main roads. Method of working la bord. and pillar 7 and 18 yards wide respectively. The full dip of both seams is due west with an average gradient of 1 in 24 (nearly 4%) with local gradients up to 1 in 8 (nearly 12/5). i Both seams have vertical cleavage planes or partings at vary­ ing distances from 2 to 4 feet apart and generally bords are driven at right angles to this cleavage line. Faults are common in this seam with displacements up to 6 feet, one exception being where it is 23 feet. �- 4 - Igneous Dykes are met with and are of various thicknesses from 4 to 25 feet, and in one case 100 feet. The coal is ©indered and partially coked on both sides of these dykes. Ml coal from this seam is hand Dined and filled into 25 cwt. skips and hauled by horses from the face to flats where battery locomotives haul to the shaft bottom. Pillar extraction is in operation in this seas, the method of extraction allowing almost complete recovery. tlatex’ from this seam is pumped from the workings to the pit bottom and pumped to the Victoria Seam from where it is punped to the surface by the pump at that seam. Ventilation of both seams is by a 12’ x 6’ Multiblade ®*an capable of producing 500,000 Cub. Ft. of air per min. with a 4!1 water gauge. The output of the fan at present is 380,000 Cub. Ft. of air per min. The drive is electrical by a 500 H.P. Synchro­ nous Motor driving through a hydraulic coupling water coo?-ed. JF/RT 14th' March, 1947 �BURWOOD COLLIER!!

Depth vertical from surface to the Victoria Seam 320 and to the Borehole Seam 600, There are three shafts on the property, one of which is used for winding, and a slope drift to the bottom seam. The sectional area of drift is 15 feet wide by 7 feet 6 Inches high. The total length of slops is 2,250 feet which includes a sump at the lower end. The angle of the drift is one in three and a quarter or 30.7$. wive sections of conveyor belt are installed at various centres from 420, 460 feet. The width of belt is 42 inches. Capacity of conveyors is 550 tons per hour. . . H.P, of driving motors 110. o Each belt drive is fitted with Tandem drive through steel gears with chain drive to motor. Each belt is fitted with a Thruster Brake on the Counter Shaft to prevent reverse running when belts are stopped. As the coal is fed out of the bins it passes through a Coal Cracker which reduces the large lump coal to 10 inches. This facilitates blockages at the transfer points. The belts are Installed on one side of the drift leaving room for a transport road for men and materials. All major repairs to underground plant is done on the surface, the plant to be re­ paired is hauled up the slope. Storage bins are provided at each seam from where the coal is fed to the belt conveyors. Capacity of bin at the Victoria Tunnel Seam is 250 tons. !i CI t! !t Borehole Seam is 400 tons. Bins are rectangular, the long axis being at right angles to the conveyor. Skips of 5 and 6 ton capacity are loaded at the face of Victoria and Borehole Seams respectively and unloaded into the bins, through three bottom Goors per skip, the end door of each skip is secured by a locking bar. Victoria Seam is 13 feet 6 Inches, of which the lower 6 feet to 6 feet 3 inches is worked, the upper portion is made up of coarse coal and clay bands. On main haulage roads some of the coarse top is removed to give an 8 fest height. Above the coal seam is a blue shale and chert strata. Roof conditions are fairly good excepting places where the overhead strata is damp. In such cases the clay bands swell re­ sulting in broken roof. �- 2 - The floor is a mudstone formation with a fairly good parting at the coal seam floor* Seam dip generally about 1 in 30 in a southwesterly direction, with local gradients as heavy as 1 in 8 or nearly 12$. These con­ ditions are in some cases for and against loads. Bords are 3 yards wide and pillars 14 yards with out-throughs at 44 yard centres. Faults are common up to 19 feet displacement. Dykes of Basalt and Dolerite Rock are met in various parts of the seam and vary up to 30 feet thick excluding cinder coal on either side of same. All coal mined in this seam is out, bored, loaded, and hauled mechanically. Coal Cutters and Loaders are track-mounted and locomotives are battery operated. Boring is done by hand held drilling machines electrically operated and carried on the Goal Cutter. The operating voltage of all face plant is 415 A.C. excepting the boring machine which is 125 volts. AlkxaXrsuXtaxaxgxjSMxiSEEL Xtt&l&xsXKxSftx&xxffi^xxxshkRXxkh&nhxksxl&fixx&lkHx Ml circuits are provided with overloads and earth leakage protection.

Minor repairs are done underground and major repairs on the surface. Ventilation of the seam by a high speed axial flow fan electrically driven and delivering 160,000 ou. ft. per minute. Borehole Seam is 11 feet inches thick of which 5 feet 3 inches to 7 feet 6 inches of the upper portion is worked. The immediate roof being splinty coal of about 1 foot thickness. The- strata above the coal, seam is a black shale of some 2’ O'* to 2’ 9" in thickness. Above thia is a strong blue shale and makes on excellent roof for main haulage roads. The dip of the seam, faults and dykes are as described in the Victoria Seas. Goal is mined from under the Baoifio Ocean as well as under land. Width of bords and pillars and centres of cut-through in land �- 3 - voi?k is 6, 12 and 46 yards respectively<, Width of horde and pillars and centres of cut-through in undersea work is 6, 8 and 38 yards respectively. Shis seam is in the transition stage from hand mining to com­ plete mechanisation. Those sections completed have heavy track mounted Coal Cutters, Loaders and LocoEiotlvee. The latter are battery operated. Main roads are 60 lbs. reduced to 45 and 30 lbs. at the faces. All minor repairs are done underground and ma^or repairs on the surface. In other sections cosl is undercut by short trail machines and bored with hand held machines and hand loaded out. This class of raining is being superseded for full mechanisation. Pillar extraction is by hand .methods, the state laws preclude the use of mechanical appliances in same. Ventilation is by a large Centrifugal fan delivering 210,000 cu. ft. per minute fitted with a ?luid Coupling Drive. Coal is brought to the surface by shaft fitted with double deck cages with 1 ton skips being hauled up game, and a slope drift from surface passing through all seams to the Sorehole. The grade of this slope is 1 in 3.25 or 30.7$. JI?/RS? 14th March, 1947 �LAMBTOM COLLIERS Lambton Colliery is situated at Redhead 9 miles south of Mewc^atle on the coast. Area of the colliery holding is 5,396 acres Including land and under sea coal. Two shafts were sunk to the Borehole Seam. Several seams were passed through, two of which have been worked, the Victoria Tunnel and Borehole at depths from the surface 200° and 435° respec­ tively. Mining is confined to the upper seam only, called the Victoria Seam. The total thickness of the Victoria Tunnel Seam is 14" of which 5° 9!1 is the working section. The total thickness of the Borehole Seam is GB 9” of which 5' 5E! is the working section. Method of working is bord and pillar, with bords 8 yards wide and pillars 12 yards wide. The seam has a full dip of 1 in 30 (nearly 3$) in a N. 80° VJ. direction with local gradients up to 1 in 8 (nearly 12/0 . The seam has vertical cleavage planes or partings at vary­ ing distances from 1 to 2-1/2 feet. Bords are driven at right angles to these cleavage planes. The unworked portion of the seam is made up of Inferior coal and clay bands, and in some sections roof water is encountered causing the ©lay bands to swell and roof troubles result. In some cases falls take place to the full height of the seam. The roof above the coal is a mudstone and will not stand without supports. Faults are common with displacements up to 8’ 0". Igneous Dykes are met with at times of varying thicknesses. These dykes are of a Basalt and Dolerite Stone. The coal is cindered and partially coked on either sides of these dykes. All coal is cut by heavy track mounted mobile coal cutting machines operating on 3’ 6“ gauge track and weighing 9 tons. Machines are operated by electric motors of flame proof type 50 H.P. and 20 H.P. 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 cycle, size of trailing cable 117/018, flexible 4 core, 3 power cores and 1 earth. Goal Borer is carried on the Goal Cutter and operates on 125 volt circuit. A small transformer is carried on the cutter from where the voltage is transformed from 415 to 125, 3 phase, 50 cycle. The flexible cable used on the borer is tough rubber flexible cable of 5 cores, 3 power cores, 1 earth and 1 pilot core for leakage protection. The boring machine Is hand held and bores 8 holes for each 8 yd. wide working place, 32 volts on boring machine for starting �- 2 - and stopping. Mechanical Loaders are track mounted mobile machines operated by two 15 H.P. motors, one operates the gathering end, the other the discharge end, same power and cables as used on Coal Gutters. The total weight of machine is 8 tons. Maximum loading is 4 tons per minute. Locomotives at the face are battery operated, weighing 11 tons with.battery. Locomotives are operated by 2 = 17 H.P. D.G. Motors, one driving each wheel set through steel gears. Manual operated brakes apply to each set of wheels. Sanding equipment is provided on each end of chassis. All batteries are charged mid repairs attended to in a fireproof room near the pit bottom where any gases given off from batteries pace direct into the main return oixway. Motor Generator Sets for charging batteries are located in a fireproof room adjacent to the charging station. Main line haulage are 2-20 ton Trolley Wire Locomotives operating from overhead wire with rail return at a voltage of 250 D.C. The overhead wire is suspended by insulators fixed into the under side of a 5 x 2-1/2° steel channel fixed to the roof. On each side of the steel channel are sheet guards fastened to the sides of the channel with bolts and springs which allow the pole to open the guard, the spring closing sane after the pole has passed through. The channel and sheet guards are insulated from the roof and is go arranged that should an Insulator breakdown or the channel or guard become energised by another means up to 25 volts potential, the power 1g automatically cut off at the switch board of the motor generator set. The motor generator set supplying power to the Trolley Wire Locomotive is 500 H.P. Ml tracks on main lines are 60 lb. to the yard rails, the fishplates are welded throughout for earth continuity. Water is distilled underground electrically for topping up batteries. & small air compressor electrically operated is installed near the charging station for cleaning batteries. Racks for changing batteries during the shift are provided at the charging station. Provision is made at the brick stopping between the intake and return airway at the end of the charging room to automatically cut the poirei’ off the overhead wire in the event of the main ventilat­ ing fan stopping from any cause. This is accomplished by making a �small hole in. the brick stopping between the intake and return, and. fitting a hinged plate over the hole. The suction on the •plate pulls the plate over the hole when the auction ceases (which Eleans the fan has stopped), the hinged flap is arranged that it falls open and makes contact with a circuit that in turn opens the main switch on the generator. Ventilation: Two ventilation fans are located on the surface, the first a 72" Sirroco double inlet delivering 100,000 cubic feet per nin. and driven by a 180 H.P. 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 cycle. Motor drive to fan is by 15 V. Belts. The second fan is a 30" double inlet and delivers 50,000 cubic feet per min. and driven by a 80 H.P. Motor 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 cycle. Motor drive to fan is 14" flat endless belt. Major repairs to cutters and loaders and retiring of loco wheels are done on the surface. Electric head lamps of the Edison "J" type are used throughout the mine and are charged and repaired at the surface.

Now that I am back in New fork, I am writing you this short note to tell you how much I did appreciate all your kindness and help to me at Rock SpringSo I did so much enjoy meeting you, Mr. Murray, and your other officers, and I came away full of admiration for your developments in the coal bearing areas of Wyoming. I do hope that one day you will fulfil your threat and come and see us in Australia. Even if you don’t do that I hope that you will feel free to write to me on any subject at all where you think we could be of any help to you. It could be that some things we do may be of interest because many of our conditions are so similar to yours. We had a splendid trip from Rock Springs to Salt Lake City despite the fact that we were held up for a few hours by stones across the road brought down by a cloud-bursti Mr. Orme was indeed a very gooddriver and companion for the trip.

Livingston, Vice President-Operation; Mr. V. 0. .Murray, General Manaver; and Mr. I. M. Charles, Chief Engineer; will be delighted to meet you and Mr. Syme, showing you all courtesies possible, Including the inspection of any of our mines, power plants, villages, etc. With respect to your suggestion that you stop off at Omaha: I would be most delighted to'have you do so, but as your time seems to be short, may I offer a substitute suggestion? I would recommend that you go through to* Rock Springs, Wyoming, and if you will get in touch with Mr. H. L. Lauby, Eastern Traffic Manager, Union Pacific Railroad, Suite 350 Rockefeller Center (625 Fifth Avenue) New York City, or Mr. C. H. Saltmarsh, General Agent, same location, they will work out a schedule for you from New York to Rock Springs. If you prefer to deal with our representative at Philadelphia, call on Mr. Morton Mann, General Agent, 904 Girard Trust Building, Broad Street and South Penn Square; or if you are in Washington, Mr. H. B. Blanchard, Washington Representative, 600 Shoreham Building, 15th and H Streets, N.M. Any of these men will work out schedules from New York, Washington or Philadelphia to Rock Springs, and our train Mo. 3, known as the Transcon, carries through sleepers from both New York and Washington, via the New York Central from Hew York only, ©nd via the Pennsylvania Railroad ifrom New York and Washington, to Rock Springs. On your arrival at Rock Springs, or if you could give • me advance notice after checking with any of the railroad agents above mentioned, we would attempt to negotiate transportation by plane from either Rock Springs (which, however, is restricted �- 2 - to one plane dally), or preferably from Salt Lake City (within easy driving distance of Rock Springs), or Cheyenne, In other words, we would try to get you back by plane or possibly by one of our streamliners from Rook Springs to Chicago, with con­ nection to New York City. If you stopped over in Omaha Monday, August 12, very little would be gained except to meet a few of our Omaha people; no coal mines located in the State of Nebraska. On the other hand, I think we can do’ the honors in Rook Springs equally tzell, coupling the work of gathering information with an exchange of ideas, perhaps driving over to Salt Lake City for a look at that most interesting city, where a number of coal men are located. kindly write me further on the suggestions outlined, and be assured that you will be most welcome to Omaha, and our Wyoming properties. Mr. Bayless, whose office adjoins mine, will be very anxious to meet you, as will Messrs. Livingston and Murray at Rock Springs. When you write Mr. Lewis, please give him my compil­ mentis.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha 2, Nebraska July 28, 1953 Dear Mr. Bayless: You might have heard: that the Paul Weir Company has an arrangement with the National Coal Board of Great Britain under which, among other things, we schedule visits for observation of American coal mining methods and equipment by teams of selected British engineers. While there have been a number of such teams in the country both in 1952 and in the earlier months of 1953, such teams with slight exceptions have been scheduled on trips east of the Mississippi River only. An additional team of three engineers consisting of Mr. H.J. Widdowson, Assistant to the Director General of Production, Mr. A. Scott, Area General Manager, No. 4 Area, Nor'th-Eastern Division, and Mr. J.M. Pumphrey, Area Production Manager, No. 1 Area, Northern Division, is coming over in September. They have expressed a general interest in seeing some of our western mining operations and a specific interest in visiting the administrative offices of your company. I understand that Mr. Widdowson, the senior member of the party is ~specially interested in learning about the management structure of our larger coal companies such as yours. It is my thought that the team would spend the first several days of their stay in Oklahoma, followed by a visit of a day or so to your Omaha office, my best guess at this moment being that this would be around September 17 to 1a·. I would greatly appreciate your letting me know whether you would be willing to have the team come to your office, and if so, whether the above dates would appear to be satisfactory, at least so far as you can tell at this time. If it further meets with your approval, I thought the team might go to Rook Springs the w~ekend of September 19-20, and have a fairly hasty look at one or two of ~our operations on the 21st to 22nd. These several possibilities would complete their contacts with Union Pacific Coal Company in that I am not sure as yet whether to have them see any other mining operations in the west, probably in Utah, or to return direct to the east where they would also like to spend a short time in similar visiting. Please do not hesitate to make any alternative suggestions that might ocour to you and to let me know whatever your thoughts might be on the above suggestions. With highest regards, ~-- Yours very sincerely, /s/ Clayton G. Ball Vioe President �NO. 20 �Omaha - December 080-3 Mro V. O.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebraska Dear Mr. Bayless: The Institute of International Eduoation was fortunate again this year in having your oooperation in conneotion with the carrying out of a training program for six British engineers under the Mutual Security Agency, now Foreign Operations Administration. Through Mr. Lionel Farr of the Goodman Manufacturing Company you made it possible for these men, all employee of the National Coal Board, to spend a month st~dying the operations of your company in the Rock Springs area. This was a very fruitful experience for these young men and they benefitted greatly by the planning and assistance provided them through Mr. v. o. Murray. Members of the group have now returned to Great Britain and to their jobs, and expeot to find many ways to apply the ideas and broad experience gained through this year of study in _the United States. On behalf of the Foreign Operations Ad.ministration and the Institute I would like to thank you and the members of your staff for the contribution you have made to this program in international education exchange. We believe it has fulfilled its purpose of equipping these men to help inore~se the productivity of the British mines.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Co al Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebr. Dear Mr. Bayless: British Mining Engineers As in the past several years, our company is taking part with the Institute of International Education in assisting British Mining Engineers who come to this country to do graduate work at one or other of our universities and then observe American mining systems. Each year you have been good enough to help us in that portion of the program which calls for observation of mining practices and mining conditions. This year there are six of these students, three. Soots, two Midlanders and a Londoner. Actually the latter is not really a Mining Engineer, but a Coal Technologist specializing in the uses of coal. They are now visiting mines in Illinois and will be in our factory for the next two weeks undergoing a course in different types of mining machinery. The records of all six men are · attached to this letter, and we do hope you can find it convenient to allow these men to study your operations in the Rock Springs area, and possibly at Hanna, in all of which places they can see conditions somewhat similar to those existing in their own country but where the most efficient mining methods are used. In the past the visit to the Union Pacific Coal Company's properties has been the highlight of these students' field trips, and they have been loud in their praise of the many courtesies received and the great value they obtained from the visit. We see no reason why this present group will _not also so regard it. It 1s not our idea to inflict any burden upon those companies who are good enough to accept these students, and the students themselves are willing to take advantage of any type of transportation which may be available. We feel, and generally the students agree with us, that a fleeting glimpse of the operation does not give the full picture and it is much better if they can go to the face at the beginning of a mine shift and see the complete cycle of operations, even though this may entail several d~ys provided it does not interfere with the normal procedures of the coal company. These men, too~ are the future officials of the various coal companies in Great Britain and are particularly interested in the management angle, mining �- 2 - engineering, etc., and if you can afford them an opportunity to study this as have done the groups in the past, we would very much apprec'iate it. If you can see your way clear to again have these men visit your operations we would arrange for them to arrive in Rook Springs on Monday, July 6, and have them report to whatever point you designate. Should the group seem too large to be going to one point at any particular time, they might well split up and McCririck, the Coal Technologist, we feel sure, 't1111 find great interest in your methods of preparing the coal and its transportation. We have already met all six of these young men, three of whom have had two semesters at Penn State and find all of them to be keen, capable young men, very congenial. and mo st anxious to learn and yet put themselves at the disposal of their host. Needless to add that they are most anxious to make the trip and we hope you can see your w~v clear to accept them. With kindest regards and much appreciation of the help you have given us in the past, we are Yours very truly, /s/ Lionel Farr Sales Engineer �INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION 1 East 67 Street, New York 21, N.Y.

You were good enough to permit these men to observe your operations which are the nearest we have in this country to their own conditions, but which, of course, are so much more efficient. We have four of these students in our plant at the present time and are g~ving them a series of courses in different types of mining machinery. We have been asked by the Institute to arrange a tour ~o complete this course. Naturally, they themselves are most anxious to visit your operations and we know of no better place for them to see the proper application of all types of mining equipment under varying conditions and used at its utmost efficiency. The records of all four men are attached to this letter and we would very much appreciate it if you would permit them to study your operations at Winton, particularly in your heaviest pitch; at Stansbury and, if possible, also at Hanna. We would also appreciate it if it could be arranged for them to study your organization methods. If the plan meets With your approval we would arrange for them to arrive in Rook Springs about Sunday, February 24, and have them report to whatever point you designate. All four are very capable young men and we feel sure that if Mr. Murray would designate someone of your officials to lay out a program with them they will be able to fend pretty much for themselves. We assume the young men would be in the Rock Springs vicinity for about two weeks since all are anxious to get as much value as they can from visiting your mines, and it is expected that from there they will proceed to Salt Lake. If the visits meet with your approval, would you be good enough to let us know if the proposed date of arrival is satisfactory, and if not, what date you feel you could have them?

Bayless, President Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebraska Mro Subjeot: Godfrey John Williams Dear Mr. Bayless: We feel quite sure you kno\'1 of the plan, which is an offshoot of ECA, under what is known as the Ineti tute of Inter... It..at1ona1 Ed.uoat1on which allows British mining engineers to oome to this country and do graduate work at one of our universities. For the remaining portion of their stay in this country the Institute tries to arrange with some machinery manufacturer to give them a specialized course into mining machinery, and also to arrange for them to visit mining operations which have cond1 t1ons somewhat similar · .t o the part1cu1ar field in Which they are interested, and which are doing an unusually good job under those conditions. Such _a one is Mr • . Godfrey Williams whose record, as given us by the Institute of International Education, is shown on the attached sheet. Here he attended Lehigh University and has Just received his Master's Degree. We are giving him an intensified course in all phases of mini~ equipment. You will notice he wishes to learn about American methods of handling mining machinery, and part1cu1arly about .American methoas of organization. Now, we know of no one who does both of these things as well as yourselves. On top of that, Godfrey has recM,;ed some very sound advice from our mutual friend, Dr. William Reid, formerly of the Fife Coal Company and now of the Scottish Coal. Board, who told him by all means to contact Mr. Bayless and go out to Rock Springe and see coal being mined on pitching seams, under systems which are quite unique, where high percentage of extraction is obtained, and whe~e organization is of the veey beet. Accordingly, Mr. Williams would like to arrive in Bock Springs so that he couJ.d start in about Ju1y 10 and study your operations at Winton, particularly the bottom levels where e believe you have your heaviest pitch, both seams at StansbUI7, and al so at Hanna. He wouJ.d ·11ke to have the opportun1ty to study your organization methods while there, and it seems to us that he might well spend practically two weeks in the Boak Springs area commencing on July 101 as indicated above, and finishing up the week ending July 21. We believe that Mr. Williams has already written you �-2- for permission to v1s1 t your operations and this letter is merely to amplify his application and to add ourp1ea to his request because we feel that nowhere else oan he get such a thorough, practical grounding in the matters in which he wishes to equip himself as at your operation. In the few days that he has been here we have found Mr. Williams to be a very capable young mining man who has something to impart as well as to absorb, and we feel quite sure that such of your organization who come in contact with him \'7111 enjoy ;. ··:.·. his compaey very much. WoUld you be good enough to let us know if the suggested time meets with your approval and to uhom in your organization Mr. Williams should report? We will then arrange his schedule so that he will be all set to go on the maneh1ft on the day you designate. 1th kindest regard.so Yours very truly, /s/ Lionel Farr Sales Engineer �INSTITUT~ OF INTERNATIONAL · EDµclATION 2 West 46th Street, New York ~_fft~E OF QUALIFICATIONS Name i Godfrey John W1111amso Field: Mining Engineeringo Age: _ Country: 32.

With this in view I trust that you will not mind my having taken the liberty of providing him with a letter of introduction to you. I can assure you that anything you or your officers may be able to do to add to the interest and Instruction of his visit to your country will be greatly appreciated not only by him but by me personally. Mr. McKensey’s programme in the United States has not yet been finalised but I have suggested to him that as soon as possible after his arrival there he should communicate with you and advise you re­ garding his movements. Just recently I was delighted to learn from Mr. Lewis that Mr. McAuliffe is keeping so well and active - when next you see him I should be glad if you would be good enough to remember me to him and give him my kindest regards and best wishes. I trust that you are keeping well and send you my kindest regards and best wishes.
