No. 4 Mine, Rock Springs, Wins Sentinels Of Safety Trophy y1cE PRESi°DENT PRYDE received advice from the Director of the United States Bureau of Mines, Dr. R. R. Sayers, under date of Thursday, May 22nd, that No. 4 Mine, Rock Springs, was the winner of the Sentinels of Safety Trophy awarded to the bituminous coal mines for the best individual mine safety record for the calendar year 1940. The record was based on performance of 360,955 man-hours of exposure with but one losttime accident, the severity rate computed on the Bureau of Mines formula , 0.108. The one accident that marred our performance record was that suffered by Antonio Ferdani, who received injury to the right side of his back when he was struck by some slabs of coal. This is the sixth time that the little bronze lad y and child, the Sentinels of Safety Trophy, has been awarded to the men of The Union Pacific Coal Company, total number of awards made since the inception of the contest, 16. The statuette was previously awarded to "B" Mine, Superior, in 1933, to " C" Mine, Superior, in 1934, to " D" Mine, Superior, in J 937, and again to " B" Mine, Superior, in 1938, and Winton No. J Mine in 1939. Individual certificates of honor will be presented by the Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association to every employe contributing to the 1940 victory. 247 mendations were made to the Safety Engineer for consideration by the Management, looking toward greater safety in the Company's operations. Following this, the meeting adjourned and the members all gathered at Howard's Cafe at 6 o'clock for dinner. During the course of the dinner, Mr. George B. Pryde, Vice President, presented keys lo the two new members, and reiterated the aims and purposes of tJ1e organization. Mr. I. N. Bayless, General Manager, spoke to the group, congratulatin g them on the splendid progress being made by the new Society, and urging them to "keep up the good work ." Mr. V. 0.

SECOND quarterly meeting of SIGMA TAU T EPSILON, the Safety Honor Society, was called HE to order in the Old Timers' Building, Rock Springs, at 4 :00 P.

Mr. Sharp will work with Committee No. 6 on Electrical and Med1anical Installations, and Mr. Zupence will replace Milan Painovich on Committee No. 7, Proper Operation and Maintenance of Tools and Machinery. The meeting then broke up into conferences of the various committees, each committee to consider all reportable and lost-time injuries which had occurred during the past two months coming within the province of the respective commillees. Several conditions which hud been observed by individual members were also pre::;ented and discussed, after which several recom- Note: All participating teams should have their equipment and First Aid boxes at the Old Timers' Building not later than 4:00 P.

The contestants include employes of Class 1 railroads ·who worked 50,000,000 man-hours or more last year. This was the fifth consecutive year that Union Pacific's employes had the lowest accident frequency rate for large railroads. Be·cause the contest's' rules prevent the same railroad from winning in two consecutive years, Union Pacific has been the technical winner in only three of those years. Col. John Stilwell, president of the council, said: "The Union Pacific led the group in the contest for 13 of the last 18 years. This record did not just happen. It has been made possible by leadership which so emphasized the importance of safety to all branches and groups of the Union Pacific organization that effective accident prevention was maintained as the first rule of the railroad's operation. To President William M. Jeffers should be given full credit for the splendid esprit des corps which so emphasized the importance of safety throughout the railroad." rif'IHE NATIONAL Schools Twenty-six hundred inquiries have been received at the University of Wyoming in relation to its summer session. This is many times the number received last season. Up to this writing, no person has been selected to follow in the Presidency of the Wyoming State University in the stead of Dr. A. G. Crane. The Rock Springs High School debaters met defeat at the Lexington, Kentucky, national speech tournament, the team sending them down being from Laporte, Indiana. Our •lads and lasses still stand· high in our estimation. Superior High School, on May 22nd, graduate<l 53 students, the largest 'Class in its history. The Associated Women Students of Wyoming University recently held their election, and Marguerite Mortenson, Cheyenne, a Junior, was named as its President; Priscilla Ann McKinney, Cheyenne, Treasurer; Jennie Frolich, Superior, Vice President; Beth Hillyard, Auburn, Secretary; Billie Kennedy, Laramie, Presidential delegate-at-large; and Donna Jean Foote, Rock Springs, Vice Presidential delegate-at-large. -..L-.__ Judging from the large number of graduates from the various State High Schools, etc., all the evidence shows the teaching staff has been busily engaged.

I ) I { f \ r I l June, 1941 I sat by my window one evening As the sun went down in the west; I thought of the people of. Europe With their war, their strife, and unrest. I thought of the people of Britain, And the horrors of war they stand; Of women and children a-weeping As England fights for her land. Then I thought of the air raids, And of the siren's sound. I could see the· people hurrying To their shelters under ground. And when the air raid is over, And the people come back in the sun To see what death and destruction Was brought by the savage Hun. But Britain's pilots are not sleeping As over the Channel they roam To bomb the German -cities As was done to theirs back home. And then I thought of the future '\Vhen the dictators' rule is o'er, I vision the people <_>f Europe Happy and peaceful once more. Then as the evening grows darker And my thoughts come back to me, I think of my home in America, And what it means to be free. -Moses Boam, Tippleman, Hanna. rI I i (, ' �MA 1-"-:.1941 ~...

ARTHUR JEANSELME Secretary DEFOREST NIELSON President // Approaching First Aid Contest bids fair before long to be the R meccaSPRINGS of First Aiders (including adult teams OCK from each mining district, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts likewise from the same territories) , the date of June 20th having been set aside for this annual contest. which will be held in the Old Timers' Building. The morning is always taken up :with the juvenile workers, the afternoon devoted to the adult teams, all awards and prizes being distributed thereafter following the de·cision of the Judges. The teams, the writer learns, are all dil- igently practicing and there may be some upsets. You' ll probably recall the last contest at which a "brand new" outfit, (boys from the General Office) came in at the eleventh hour and walked off "with the bacon," much to the surprise of all. Admission is free, and you might see something or learn some wrinkle that will in after years stand you in good stead. Safety Shoes There was a time when it was news To know a man wore safety shoes; But nowadays, all those who care About their toes will wear a pair. A mashed toe hurts and makes you feel Like the kind of a fellow who's called a "heel:" For the thinking man who really shows Respect for his feet protects his toes, And just as long as there are ways To injure feet, we know it pays To guard them well. So take your -cue And keep each foot in a safety shoe. Quote it in poetry, set it in proseThere's really no difference. Everyone knows The worth of protection, but just to be sureRely on PREVENTION, it's better than CURE. -G. E.

The Rialto Theatre was filled to capacity, and an overflow audience of some 500 people at the Grand Theatre also heard the address. He contrasted the conditions existing 43 years ago with those of today as to hours, wages, etc. Prior to his talk, several men with their Union service records were introduced to the audience. among whom were our own John Peters and Wm: Askey, with 48 and 46 years Union affiliation, respectively. "Movies" and vaudeville filled out a pleasant afternoon; three free dances in the evening; a fine parade in the morning witnessed by hundreds of people notwithstanding the light sprinkle of rain, while entertainment and free treats were furnished the juveniles in the morning at the theatres.

BRYCE. �~ 160 EMPLOYES' MAGAZINE - APRIL, 1941 A Greek~ Letter Society Comes To Coal OLD KING CoAL, not the historic " merry monarch" who spelled his name " Cole", came into his own for forty-three supervisory officials of The Union P acific Coal Company at Howard's Cafe, Rock Springs, Wyoming, on Thursday evening, Febru ary 27, 194,1. . We are explicit as to time and pl ace because what happened there, in the years lo co me, will become history, real and vital. The occasion was the organization of the first Greek letter society ever established to honor men who have made for themselves an enviable position in the work of mine acci dent prevention. Forty-three supervisory offi-cials of the Company became charter members of SIGMA TAU EPSILON, the Safety Honor Society, which, if it is taken up by other groups of men in the coal and metal mining industry, as we anticipate, will justify the Rock Springs organization claiming the title of Alpha.

Knill also spoke from the stage of the Old Timers' Building, pointing out the nearly two million cumulative man hours of effort put forth during the last half of 1940, represen ted by this grand prize for Safety, contrasted with the probably less than thirty seconds required for the occurring of the fourteen accidents which were suffered during that period. Thomas Berta, of the Fox Rialto Theatre, Rock Springs, conducted the drawing, supervising the depositing of the capsules in the "churn" and calling the names of the winners. He was ably assisted by little Miss Shirley Dickson, who, blindfolded, drew the capsules from the "churn," and by Roy Sather and Allan Hensala, Presidents of the Rm:k Springs Local Unions. Messrs. Sather and Hensala mixed the capsules thoroughly, and witnessed the entire conduct of the drawing, as well as checking the names of the winners after they were drawn from the glass container by Miss Dickson. ' The Winton boys are enthused lo a high pitch, and their Scoutmaster, James Johnson, a teacher in the High School at Reliance, who lives at Winton, is doing diligent work amongst the boys and accomplishing results, for which he should receive the commendation of the parents and other residents of the district. Death Of Wn1. A. Williains A. WILLIAMS, whose last occupation with the W Company was as a Machine Boss in old No. M. 10 Mine here many years ago, died at the home of his sister, l\rlrs. Edith Traher, in Rock Springs after an extended illness. He was first employed in 1896. His fraternal connection was with the local Odd Fellows Lodge, and the pallbearers were selected from that organization. The funeral service was in charge of Rev. E. L. Tull, and the Episcopal choir also officiated, the remains interred in Mountain View Cemetery March 14th. The deceased was born in Wales, and was brought here by his parents at an early age.

Meetings will be held at Rock Springs in the months of February, May, August and November of each year, and ten committees, consisting of one man from each mining district, or five men on each committee, will be appointed by the President of SIGMA TAU EPSILON at the first quarterly meeting in ea·ch _year, each committee to diligently study accident prevention methods, the real work of the ten committees that of observing bad practice, making recommendations regarding same, thus anticipating and preventing accidents.

Mr. McAuliffe, in explaining the purpose of the organization, that of honoring the men who qualified for membership and still further extending the work of mine accident prevention, advised the members that specially designed keys of solid gold, bearing the letters STE in the Greek alphabet. and the name. The Union Pacific Coal Company, on the face, with the name of the member and the year 1941 on the reverse side, are now being manufactured . The keys bearing the names of the forty-three charter • members will also bear the letters CM, indicating charter membership. Mr. McAuliffe further said that he saw no reason why other coal and metal mining companies who are anxious to further the cause of mine accident prevention should not organize chapters of SIGMA TAU EPSILON, setting up their own bylaws and qualifications for membership, in which e,·ent The Union Pacific Coal Company mother chapter might adopt the name of Alpha Chapter, it not improbable that within a few years, numer- Q Medal awarded D. C. Foote in 1927. Since that time, the standard of efficiency in accident prevention has been increased until a number of our mine foremen have proven their ability to conduct their mines for a period of twelve months without a lost-time accident, either fatal or nonfatal. The climb upward has been a slow and tedious one, and now mine safety has become an accepted requirement in the operation of our mines. Science vs. Chance LEWIS H. BROWN, in addressing the newly MR.organized SIGMA TAU EPSILON, Safety Honor Society, on February 27th, delivered a meaty and pertinent address. We present Mr. Brown's remarks in full : " I have been allotted five minutes for a few remarks, and I am going to retell an old story and endeavor to make some application of it to present day problems. About 1867 Mr. Mark Twain wrote a pleasant and humorous sketch entitled 'Science vs. Luck' which should per- �164, EMPLOYES' MAGAZINE ha ps be more properly call ed 'Science vs. Chance', and this story is briefly as follo ws : "The State of Kentucky passed very strict laws against what was termed 'games of chance' and, as is frequentl y the case, these laws were more honored in the breach than in the observance, with the result that some very reputable gentlemen were indicted and taken into court charged with playing a game of chance known as 'Seven Up'. Their law yer was at somewhat of a loss to know just what defense to present, but finall y the brilliant idea occurred to him ( possibly out of his own experience), that 'Seven Up' was not a game of chance or luck but that it was a game of scien'ce, so when his clients appeared at the bar he entered a plea of not guilty on the ground that the game known as 'Seven Up' was a game of science and not a game of luck or chance. "The court was quite amused and somewhat incredulous, but was willing to try the case upon the theory presented by the defendants' counsel , so expert witnesses were call ed fo r tl1 e prosecution who testified that the ga me of 'Seven Up' was a game of chance or lu ck, pure and simpl e; the defense called an equal number of expert witnesses who testified and demonstrated that the game of 'Seven Up' was .a game of science, and, this sort of expert testimony getting no where, it was agreed that a more practical way would be used; it was agreed that a jury of 12 men would be selected, 6 by the prosecution and 6 by the defen se, and these 12 men would be given a deck of cards, sent to the jury room, and left to make a determination of the momentous question. "The prosecution selected four deacons and two prominent church men as the 'chance' jury men and the defense selected six old veteran 'Seven Up' professors to represent the 'Science' side of the issue. In about two hours Deacon Peters sent into Court to borrow $3.00 from a friend. This caused a sensation; in about two hours more another churchman sent in to borrow a stake (another sensation) . During the next few hours other 'chance' jurymen sent in for a loan. "About daylight the following verdict was brought to the Court: VERDICT "'We, the jury in the case of the Commonwealth of Kentucky vs. John Wheeler, et al, have carefully considered the points of the case, and tested the merits of the several theories advanced, and do hereby unanimously decide that the game commonly known as old sledge or seven-up is eminently a game of science and not of chance. In demonstration whereof it is hereby and herein stated, iterated, reiterated, set forth, and made manifest that, APR;c,19,n during the entire night, the " chance" men never won a game or turned a jack, although both feats were common and fre'quent to the opposition ; and furthermore, in support of this our verdict, we call attention to the significant fact that the " chance" men are all busted, and the "science" men have the money. It is the deliberate opinion of this jury that the " chance" theory concerning seven-up is a perniciou s doctrine, and calculated to inflict untold sufferin g and pecuniary loss upon any co mmunity that takes stock in it.' '·This delightful and humorous story by td ark Twain always brin gs to me this thought : In this ga me which we are pleased to ca ll ' life', th man who kno ws the fa cts of the game, and who a pplies to those fac ts methodical, cientific effo rt, will always out-di stance the man who depends upon chance or luck to get hy. :.\'lr. Ju stice Hu ghes once ai d, 'If the Court can get the facts, tlie decision will wri te itself.' I say that if ou know your fac ts, and if you will app ly to tho e fa cts pra cti cal. methodical, sc ientifi c effort, the decision will also write itse lf. "The prevention of accide nts, this thing ca lled 'Safety', both in and out of in dustry, is not a luck or chance problem ; it is a scientific problem to be treated methodica ll y and scientificall y, and into your hands is pl aced this great tru st and this great privilege called 'Safety' to administer for the welfare, the happiness and the benefit of yourself and your fellow workmen." Mrs. lVlargaret I(elley February 21 st, there died in this city Mrs. F Margaret Pryde Kelley. Services were held at RIDAY, the residence, Rev. Keenan Sheldon, Pastor of the Congregational Church, officiating. Born in Scotland in 1873, she came to this section 32 years ago. Surviving are four daughters and one son ; six brothers ( two, George B. Pryde and William Pryde, of this city) ; four sisters, ( one, Mrs. John Christie, residing in Rock Springs). Mrs. Kelley had been an invalid for six years past, and had borne her illness with true Christian fortitude, and her many friends and acquaintances in this vicinity extend sincere sympathy to those bereft. Her husband, Hugh Kelley, predeceased her twelve years ago. "The church may have seen its duty imperfectly, for it is made up of fallible human beings, but when all is said it has been the one power through nearly two thousand years which has stood for peace, for brotherhood, for the cause of the poor and distressed."-Ernest F.

In order to reduce costs, I have two suggestions to make. The first is that Entrie s Nos. 25 and 26 be stopped, and one of each of the four units be placed on Entries Nos. 21, 2?, 23, and 24. This would eliminate two Unit Foremen, four Motormen, and two locomotives, and maintain the same production. At No. 4 Mine, three places on an entry are ,·,orking very successfully, and it is the feeling of Superintendent Overy that three places on an entry woulci be practicable and possible in No. 8 Mine. The second suggestion is to add one working place to each of ;,._ ~ ' ..the entries excepting No. 20, which would mean an increase of six working L. places. Assuming that a fair performance per shift would be twenty-five cars, this would give you an additional three hundred cars, or 750 tons per two shifts, with, of course, the additional costs of the unit crews. / You can readily see what an increase of 790 tons per day would mean in reducing your fixed charges, namely, main haul transportation, supervision inside and outside, company men, clerical and general expense.

McAuliffe, has advised me he is desirous of increasing production where possible from all of the mines with the exception of Hanna, where you are limited for a market for this fuel . In the No. 8 Mine, the seam varies in thiclmess from 5 to 8½ feet, and is mostly mined by sha.'ldns conveyors and Duckbill loading heads, although there are a. fe\-; pit car loaders and chain conveyors operating. I have no comments to make on No. 11 Road section, wnere there are five places worldng, and old men are being employed. l This section vras in e~cellent condition, and under the supervision I of a very capable and careful man. The older face employes are giving a good performance, all things considered. The main production comes from eight entries driven and being driven north off No. 8 Slope, and a little production from the finishing up of the No. l Plane section. In all but one case on No . 8 Plane, namely Entry No. 20, but two places are world.ng on a road, and I wish, at this time, to draw your attention to the distances that the haulage locomo- tives in each case must travel to reach the working places: ----- J �- No. 20 Road No. 21 Road No. 22 Road No. 23 Road No. 24 Road No. 25 Road No. 26 Road No. 27 Road 2 - 3,200 feet 1,600 feet 2,300 feet 3,200 feet 3,500 feet 4,000 feet 3,800 feet 500 feet 5 places 2 places 2 places 2 places 2 places 2 places 2 places 2 places In each of the above cases, with the exception of gangway No. 20, the haulage locomotive is working only about two thirds capacity.

I have checlced with the Superintendent, and am advised that the main-haul t ransportation system is ample to take care of this increase of 375 tons per shift. I have checked the dumping ti.tn.e required at the tipple. and find that 650 to 700 tons can be dumped in seven h0urs .

The original seam of coal is approximately 35 feet in thickness, of which four feet is left for roof support, as the overlying strata break up very quickly when exposed to the air. Four to five feet of I /!I bottom, laminated, poor grade coal is not mineable, and is left down for protection against the possible heaving of the bottom shale. You have in progress a plan of rearranging your mining scheme which will considerably change the present transportation system, v/.Z by taking the coal to the surface by way of L Plane instead of the long underground hauls to the present main slope. This is an excellent lay- out, and should be speeded .along to completion. The new plan, however, does not eliminate the necessity of driving numerous inside planes in order to mine out the coal by room methods across the pitch. I have been informed that a large Capital investment was made for the purchase of eight Joy loading ma.chines, and naturally this expenditure should be justified. many years, It has, therefore, been the plan, over to mine the coal under the present system which, without any question of doubt, is the best possible method if loading is to be done entirely by means of the Joy loading equipment. It is true that a comparison of Producer Performances shows the Joy loader to be greatly superior to the Duckbill and shaker conveyor I �- 2 - method, but these comparisons are based on statements submitted to the management which show the average performance. An average performance represents a number of poor performances thrown in with a number of excellent performances, so that, out of the total, we have a fair performance. To illustrate m,y thought, I would refer you to two concrete examples which I have encount ered in my visits to the Hanna Mine and to the Rock Springs No. 4 lli..ne. At Hanna mine in the J Plane section, where pioneer mining is being done by Joy loader and undercutting equipment, the vein being mined measured 8½ feet high, and the room approximately 28 feet wide. The comparative place at the Rock Springs No. 4 Mine is Unit No. 39 , Entry No.~, vthere the vein being mined is 8½ feet in thickness, and the room approximately 23 feet wide . ·/ At Hanna 44 cars were loaded in seven hours, and..ei-ght men were employed, making a total of 176 tons, or approximately 20 tons per man shift. No extraordinary work of any kind was done at Hanna except the moving in and out of the Joy loader and the undercutting of the coal. The coal vras blasted by firing four holes at once in the bottom bench and three holes at once in the top bench, making two firing operations. At Rock Springs No. 4 lline, the room was driven up an approximatel~ 10-degree pitch for a distance of 168 feet, and four men produced 50 cars, or a total of about 75 tons, showing approximately 19 tons per man shift. In this room, in addition to producing this tonnage, the men carried from the1entry and stood 8 posts and two -l--~~r1t' �- 3 crossbars, and put one pan extension in the shaker. The coal was also undercut, but the blasting was done by firing seven holes one at a time, making seven distinct operations. In my judgment at least one fourth of the time worked by the crew in Rock Springs No. 4 Mine was spent in work which was not necessary in the Hanna Mine, so that from a viewpoint of actual face performance, the Rock Springs No . 4 lli.ne greatly exceeds the Hanna Mine. ~ o/- To -show further v1hatl\.comparisons mean, in the Rock Springs No . 4 Mine, very difficult pillar extracting conditions are encountered, such as the condition found in No. 9 Road, and which presents itself l in every road in this _mine, namely, the removal of the entry stumps or chain pillars left in between the haulage entries and the ventilating entries . This coal must be hand loaded into a shaker chute, as it is impossibl e to make a good recovery with either a Duckbill or Joy loader in such a condition. The result is that three men, v{orking very hard, loaded only twenty cars, or thirty tons, shovdng a performance of 10 tons per man shift. \'/hen we compute the average figure, we add the 10- tons- per- shift pl ace to the 19-tons- per-shift place, and divide by 2, giving an average ·producer perfor mance of 14½ tons. I have always tried to follow the practice of comparing good condit ions and bad conditions in-sep~rate-mine& separately, in order t o arrive at a fair conclusion. ~ time in the Hanna lli.ne was l imited, but I have made a very caref ul study of the mine map, and, after having the Engineer make a careful check of the coal mined, I find that you are making a recovery [ I· fI l �-~-----~-------- - 4 of but approximately 24 per cent of the original coal in place. Of course, it will be understood that an add.itional recovery will be :!re~ ;;;;- /\ the reserve pillars are mined, and the top coal in the entries taken down, but this will also be the case in the proposed method of mining by rooms up the pitch. After seeing the operations of the Joy loaders and the shaker conveyors with Duckbills, I am thoroughly convinced that a study should be made of changing the pr esent system of mining, that is, that the chamber rooms should be driven up the pitch instead of across the pitch. -a.ad~ Ai-series of parallel development entries should be ~4.~.,..,..._;h.~ driven across the pitch, being laid ou7\ so that the rooms would be approximately three hundred feet in length, and leaving a fifty-foot r barrier pillar between the room faces and the haulage entry abover anci,,tha.t'°1ese rooms should be mined by means of shaking conveyors and Duckbill loaders in the same method as the mining is at present being -:!-,. done, that is, mining nine feet of the bottom bench, and then the~top • nD ;.; 'f!.pC:r<'Tf.. bencn', in two distinet,. operations. I am attaching hereto a print showing the suggested plan of mining, and recommend that two places G\,C.. ~ ~ be driven off No. 2 North Entry from L Plane'\in an area adjacent to the Monolith Portland llidwest Company's property, and that this test be under the constant supervision of an impartial. official, -rhis official ,#w--.,__"J d_ 4'0 keep a running report of all conditions encountered, especially material and car supply, and the calibre of the workmen engaged in ,~ driving these rooms: From my observations and inquiry, I have found no place where an actual comparison has been made between the two mechanical units in question covering identical mining conditions ' I �7 l_· - - - - 5 that is, the completion of an entire chamber room covering all benches of coal, In making this test, I would recommend that the rooms be driven 28 feet wide and the pillars 35 feet wide, as it is generally conceded that a pillar running lengthwise ~ the pitch is twice as strong as the same size pillar running lengthwise across the pitch. If this plan of mining proves practical from a cost and~ ~ producer standpoint, I would suggest that the change-over be gradually made, and a portion of the present Joy loaders be used for entry development and the opening.of chamber rooms. The thought I have had in mind of driving these rooms is to <:- ' ~ lay them out in groups of -s4¼ rooms to a panel, and then leave a solid pillar forty feet in thickness for the entire length of the ) room, so that, in case of the necessity of sealing off an area only I two seals, one across the haulage entry and one across the ventilating entry, would be necessary. I Further to the above plan, I wo~d ;uggesythat a double entry be driven from L Plane toward the Monolith PortlaJ Midwest Company's - / I properly above the block wher e the above test /i's to be made, until the barrier is reached. / I-11ould- sug.g-.est-tlliMl f hat two rooms be driven 25 I feet in width, leaving a 55-foot pillar, and, after the room coal has , been completed, that a test be made of driving a 15- foot-wide place in the bottom bench only up through the center of the pillar to the limit , and then r etreat on both sides and with whatever top coal may fall . This pr~ctice is simil.ar to a practice being carried on in the Mammoth Vein, Cranberry Colliery, at Hazelton, Pennsylvania, where the seam is approximately 24 feet m thickness. I �6 I am thoroughly acquainted with the fact that there is a possible fire hazard in the removing of pillars in this field, but, with the plan of mining suggested, a quick seal can easily be established in order to smother out any possible fire. If the above first-mentioned plan is practical and feasible, the economic results would be as follows: 1. An increase of approximately 20 per cent in recovecyj 2. The pillars lengthwise of the pitch will greatly diminish )<..- the present sloughing off of the pillars across the pitch, as the tendency at present is for the pillars to tip, and it will give better roof support. 3. Approximately tv10 thirds of the track work now necessary will be eliminated. 4. The correction of the accumulation of road-bed dust now found in the present rool'.:lS, as the Duckbills can practically sweep a place clean. ~ -' The complete recovery of the four feet_;Jf good coal now left in order that the Joy loaders may work on a level base. 6. The opportunity for a concentration of production. Considering a fair performance of 30 cars per shaker unit, it would take but nine working rooms, plus three sets of development entries, to maintain the present output of 700 cars per two shifts. This could be ma.de possible by having three rooms working on each of three development entries, all tributarJ to L Plane, with quick and vecy economical transportation. I l �- 7 7. In mining up the pitch, the smooths in the seam could be fully maintained across the room instead of cutting through several layer s, as i s now being done by mining across the pitch, necessitating the const ant trimming of the weathering exposed smooths, or parting...-a.., 8. The elimination of very expensive hoist and electrical. wiring installations through the elimination of driving numerous planes. 9. A better control of the ventilation system, reducing the number of stoppings to be built . Conclusion: I I do not in any manner wish to criticize the l management in its present system of mining, as I feel it is an excellent plan, and the only good one for using the Joy loaders, and I am offering my ovm suggestions solely for the purpose of trying to be helpful in r educing costs and making a better recovery of the original. coal. An incr ease of 20 per cent in recovery would greatly reduce the development j cost per ton. I would welcome the viewpoint of any of your practical Superintendents covering my recommendations. I would suggest, however, if a test is to be made with the Duckbill and shaker conveyor, that the I l I work be done on one shift, either day or night, under the constant supervisi on of one impartial official.

Hanna Mine : This mine is considerably spread out and, due to the present system of mining, necessitates a long and complicated transportation system.

The comparative place at the Rock Springs No. 4 Mine is Unit No. 39, Ent1"7 No. 19, ,·,here the vein being mined ~-s 8½ feet in thiclmess, and the room approximately 23 feet wide. At Hanna 44 cars uere loaded in seven hours, and nine men were empl.o:,ved, making a total of 176 tons, or approximately 20 tons per I!lBil shift.

To show further what cwerage comparisons mean , in the Rock Springs No. 4 Uine, very difficult pillar extracting conditions are encountered, such as the condition found in No. 9 Road, and which presents itself in every road in this mine, namely, the removal of the entry stumps or chain pillars left in between the haulage entries and the ventilating entries.

The result is that three men, working very hard, loaded only twenty cars, or thirty tons, shovdng a performance of ten tons per man shift. Vfuen we cor.i.pute the average figure, we add the 10-tonspel'-sbi.ft place to the 19-tons-per-shift place, and divide by 2, giving an average producer performance of 14½ tons.

These rooms should be mined by means of shaking conveyors and Duckbill loaders in the same method as the mining is r~ present being done, that is, mining nine feet of the bottom bench, and then the two top benches, in two separate operations. I am attaching hereto a print showing the suggested plan of mining, and recommend that two places be driv_e n _off No. 2 North Entry from 11L 11 Plane as a test in an area adjacent to the Monolith Portland Midwest Company's property, and that this test be under the constant supervision of an impartial official..

HANNA MINE: This mine is considerably spread out and, due to the present syctem of m:i.11ing.~ ·n0ces" • s a 1 ong and complicated sit.a.t.e transportation system. The original semn of coal is app:roxiElat,ely .35 f oe-c, in thickness, of YJhich 4 feet is left for roof support, as the ovc?- lying strata break up very quickly wh(,m exposed to the aix-. Four to five i'eet of bottom, lain:L'l'le.ted, poor-grade coal is not mine.able, and is left down for protect,ion agains·li the possible heavine of the bottom shale . You. ha.ve in progress a plm.1 of raarre.ngine; yom~ minL11g scheme nhich ·t-r.i 11 considern.bly change the present. t1.,a.nsportat,ion syctem, viz . , by tak:L.'"lg the coal ·co the surface by way of 111 11 Plane instec.d o:l the long undergrou_rid hauls t o the p1~0sent, main slop3. This is on excellent layout, and should be speeded along to completion. The ner1 plan, hoi-rover, does not eliminate the neoessity of driving numerous inside planes in order 'ijo mine out the coal by room :mathods across the pitch. I have be0n informed that a. l arge Capitol investment was made for the purchase of eight Joy l ee.ding .machines, and naturally · this expenditure should be JUS ti£· d ie • It has, therefore, been the �- 2 plan, over many years, t o min0 the coal under the present S'Jstem \·1hich, vvlthout any queotion of doubt, is the best possible method if loading i s to be c.lone cmtirel y by means of the Joy loo.din3 equip.m<m:t. It io true that a comparison of producer perfoi"mances shov1s 'l;he Joy loader to be 6ree:Gly superior to t,he Duckbill and shaker conveyor uethod, but these cor.ipe.risons are based on statem.ent s submitted to the management 11hich show tho avei~age pe1•formance. An avcro.gG performance represents a number of poor performnnces throrm in rn:ih a number of oxcellent perforiaanees, so tha·i:., out of the total, vm have a i'air perforL.tmc0.

At Rock Springs No. 4 l!J.ne, the 1>0om was driven up an approx:i.mate 10-deuree pitch for a distance of 168 feet,, ru1d four men produced 50 cars, or a total of about 75 tons, showing approximately 19 tons per man shift,. In this rooru, in addition to pro- ducing ·this tonnage, the men carried from the haulage err'\jI'"IJ end stood eight posts e.nd two crossbars, and put one pan ex:c.ension in the shaker. T'ne coal was also undercut, but the blastin~ uas done by fil"'ing seven holes one at a time, making seven distinct opera). . uJ.Ons.

The second sugg0stion is to add one ~-r orldng placa t o each of s:bt entries excepting !,!o . 20, v,nich v;ould r.iea.n an increase of six working places. Assuming tha.'v a fair pei~:ro:emence per shift nould be t wenty-five cars, this would give you an a.dd:l.tional tlu~cc hundrad cars, or 750 tons per two shifts, t·.rith' of course, th0 additional costs of the unit ore\'ts. You can r ecdily see uhZlt a,."'l i11crease of 750 tons par "ixed charges, namol.y' main-haul day would mean in reducing y our .i. �- 11 transportation, supervision inside and outside, compal'\Y' men, clerical and gener al expense.

I I have just talked with the Blue Network people and it is quite evident that they would not feel ju·s tified in 11 picking up 11 our meeting twice for a national hookup. It is possible that we might switch to Mr. Jeffers instead of Mr. Ickes, but as the other arr angement has been definitely completed I am sure that that would be out of order. If the broadcast is a factor in Mr. Jeffers' possible attendance at the luncheon meeting I am afraid that is out unless perhaps an arrangement could be made through the local station in St. Louis whereby a few of the nearby stations might be covered. I am suggesting this possibility to Mr. Weigel on the telephone today, I am also suggesting to Mr. Weigel, who has sent me a proof of the program, that Mr. Jeffers' name remain on the program, that no subject be given for his remarks, and that in addition to his title as President of the Railroad Company, mention be made of his title as Rubber Administrator for the Uar Production Board.

A general discussion vras carried on as to procedure, practice, and policy of the Institute, the session continuin.3 until noon. Many questions CD.me up fol" discussion, and all delet!.:.tes were requosted to give fiveminu·i:.e talks on the problems of the 8cctions , handing in a typewritten memo of sarc.e. the firs"t session, at \·1hich Br. Euzene t\cAuliffc A good deal of the time was taken u9 on .t~onda;y mornine by Colonel Arthur V. llcDermott , director of 3clective Service for t he City of New York, who di scussed t he policy of the selective service organization as applying to engineering students and young en6ineers, and particularly t.he question of deferment . Colone l ::cDer;n.ott stated t hat all men necessary in tho na.r effort engaged in essential industries r;ho cannot be replaced because of u shortage of 9roporly trained. men, whose induction into the militariJ service ,-.ould result in a loss of production, 11ould receive deferment. He stated there v:as a serious shortage of en~ineers, and consequently engineers 3!1d engineer inL; students had been generally deferred by the local boards. However, he \'./arned thn.t in the future the Ar i,vf 1 ~ need of engineers even more than in the essential industries migM. elimirrn.te t his deferment. The q_uosticn ,1a.s r D.ised c.s to r1hether engineers' talents ,,ere r;ast.ed ,·then they were drafte d. 'The Colonel stated that the .~.rw::r exv.ntlnes the ability, history , o.nd buck3r ound or every~ inducted into the service, nn<l places them ,·1he::r0 t hey uill be of most use to their country. Some of the :.:c~bers ·.-,ere i nclined to dispute this, stating ~hat e;icamina.t ions were often conducted by subordinate officers totcl.ly iiithout knowl ed.<;e of engineering abilities and how they could be put to profitable use. 1:r. Jay A. Carpenter, delee ate from rJeva.da., stated thac- the local boards in 1'?e\·~1a. v:ere overzealous in takine young engineers for se1"Vice in the 1~enks.

Colonel ·1:0D0rmott adr:iitted tha.t no doubt because o:!' overzealousness mistakes nere m.ndc, but these, he thought, could be corrected. The discussion ,,2s oost interesting.

If this conlrl'ittee could not fulbr o.11ree it was sent ~ f " u ' 10: • urther reading and editinz by different members throughout the Um.ted States, and this, also, took a great deal of time, May I say, p::lrsonally, that anyone v,'ho \'Trites a paper for the Institute may be c.7sured that, while the paper will receive c:.ll'cful consideration, it r;ill also be subjected to the most minute scrutiny and discussion by co:nr,rl.ttee members bef'orc it is even accepted, nnd o. e reo.t rauny papers, \'ihile accepted for reading at t he Institute mectinBs, are not published . Some discussion er?sued rTith regard to the ,10:rk of student c;uidance, that is guidunce of student en3ineers, and it was pointed out that this ad.vice i s a.vailuble if requested. There ·\·,e.s some discussion as to a method of instituting a cam9oign to increase the endowment funds of the Institute in order that the activities might be enlarged, and it rrns thought the.t large endowcents were necessar,J so that t he Institute could carry on its services to members in times of depression when income from dues and adver tisin$ l ags. llr. Parsons e},._-plnined the purpose ;md nature of the various endowment funds, From this infomiation, a nd the in.formation Hr. 1lc.Auliffe has given me, I am sure that the funds of the Institute are looked after in the most neticulous vray, I!lru1Y men £;ivinf, their entire time to t he investmints of the Institute, and giving as close attention to the finances as they do to their personal business, all this done ,.iithout any cost to the organization.

There i78N t ,·10 of those meetings Going on at t.no same ti.rae , �6 so I attended the one on the use of Diesel locomotives underaround. Dr •. L. E. Young, encl lJr. Philip B. Bucky were Chairman and A;sociate Cl_1e.l.I'i!'1an, rcsp7ctively. This nns a statement o:f the operation of . diesel locomotives underground in tunneling oper:itions for the water ~;1ue,uuct. in th: State of rlew. Yorl{. The presentation was made by Fred . 0 •· t~ef~l, Chief Eneineer of the Contractor, and a. statement of the 1..estr..1.ct:1.ons imposed was made by :Jilliam D.

I think for the particular case in nind, thJ.t is, the driving of these tunnels, p1"0bably the diesen is n GOOd forn of haular.e, but I am convinced that the sto.r age- battery locomotives could have e iv0n comparable, if not bettor, service. Thera ,•;er0 trro shafts, one nbout l,l►oo feet d.cep and one about 300 foot, these tunnels being driven fro~ the foot of these shufts, t he shafts being used for the taki.ne of material and men into the t.unnel::i, o.nd for ventilation. The ~oint mde by those iµvinz the pnper-s and the discussions in fl!.vor ol' the loconotives ,·:ns t.hat, on nccount of the e;as met ·.dth in these tunnels, thcs0 loconotives rcc;,uire the company to keep excellent sources or ventilation, and that the r esale value of tho diesel loco:,10tives ,;;:,s very nuch mor0 t han th:.i.t of the electric locomotives, also that the accidents from diesel loco:notives r,ero much less than ;:ith the elcct,ric locomotives. This comria.rison t;as not an cqltltabJ.c one G.5 they dici. not stu-c.e hou inony miles the electric loco.:-::iotives trnvele<l or hoi·: many t7ere in uso in the United States, and ho,·: very- fen, compnrntiwly, of the diesel locomotives ,'Tere in use. 'l'he Lubor 1;:ien .!'ether prided t,hc.."'ll.Solves on the very ri,sid regulations they im:1osed upon the contractor resa.rd:i.ng inspection ond operation. The Bu<"eau of t unes enzincers merely stated that they considered the diesels perfectly safe if they were operated under the restrictions imposed by the Dop:,.rtment of Labor of the Sto.te of rlevt York. Dr. Carpenter, in discussing the diesels, stn.ted. that he could see no necessitJr for putting another t ype of l ocomotive, such as a diesel loconotive, to do ·,1ork ,mich an electric locomotive could do just as m,ll, und the roeuJ.ations imposed by the State of tJe,·1 York looked very much like a second edition of the Ten Cornmandmcmts, "Thou she.lt not 'i'hou shalt not - 11 all the nay through, and he thou..::;h'i:. men ·:;oultl not, r:ithout close supervie:i on, obey all those restrictions. I cl.so talked to !\fr,, Youne :fo.fety Engineer for the contractor, at one of t,he luncheons, and he told ~ that the first t~·: o years in puttin3 in the· diesels they �II 7 hn.tl <:- crreut deal of difficulty in oporatin•7 them. They l"equirecl much r~p~~r ,~·e rk, mm.~e <:lcse inopcction, chun~~ ti of lubricants, cleaninc 0 118 snubber rnruu.folcls, etc ., in order to insure good operation. . . In ~he afternoon of 'l'uesdcy, they had a pc.per on an investiga~~?ll o! b::i.turnnou~ coal dust suppression, tho pe.per dealing largely i::i.:th different met.hods of supplyin!,; vmte1• at t.he ,~-orkin3 faces for the cutter bar::;, for spray-lnt; the conl .

Son.e of the plans see.racd rather r.,rWtive. Soll',eonc asked the q1lcstion Yihy they did not put pipes in' tho mines, and they made the rotort thet it \'lao .till.Ch too expensive. I :·;as not impresaed by this . paper, c.s lt seemed they were going to a. great <leo.l of exoense to furnish a totally inadequate supply of i'ratcr at the \/orkin6 f aces· to control the dust. The paper also discussec.l. to so.:ie eJ....-tent t he use of chcr.ri.co.ls for ·c.his purpo~e, but the general consensuc seer.!<..-'<t to be this r:a.s c:uitc an expenoive nothod of controlling <lust: but raieht he justified ·.•:her e nater nas s carce, and th,:i.t sec:r.ted to be the ca se in most of the imtancoc which this Pc!.!JCI· cited.

V. l:cKennn, State !.:inc Inspector, I>ennsylwnia Department of l:ines. I think L:r . llcl<enna gave a very good picture of the operation of shuttle cars, but he :::tressed the fact that much dust was made by their operation. In ta.lkin.~ regarding ventilation, he stressed very stron~ly doors on panels·, .-ihich are, of course, quite applicable to this method of workin3.

(Assorted if desired.) �SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY of ENGINEERING SUBJECTS Foreword This Selected Bibliography of Engineering Subjects has been prepared primarily for those who wish to continue study in engineering and allied fields and perhaps start building their own private librar ies. In prepar ing it, more than one hundred teachers of technical subjects and professional engineers wer e consulted, and the final selections are, of necessity, a compromise between several recommendations. Originally it was planned to make separate lists of elementary, intermediate, and advanced books in the various branches of engineering, but this proved to be impracticable. The Bibliography represents, therefore, a list of books mostly of college grade, with annotations to indicate the nature and depth of subject matter. I t is published in five sections and will undergo revsion from time to rime in order to improve the present lists and co include notable future publications. Section I Mathematics, Mechanics, and Physics Section II Aeronautical and Civil Engineering Section III Chemical and Industrial Engineering Section IV Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Section V Metallurgical and Mining Engineering There is little need to emphasize to young engineers the desirability o f reading continuously the current publications of their professional societies and other techrucal journals in addition to their fundamental studies.

We recommend that large chunks of coal on top of cars be taken care of or taken off before leaving loader point. We also think that more attention should be paid to foot wear, v. John Knoll George Blacker Arthur Munn J. Hearne Committee No. 3 Resolutions and recommendations of Committee No. 3. In order to prevent injuries caused by falls of rock or coal in timbered places, we recomr.iend·that the men be instructed by the supervisor in charge to always sound roof before knocking out any props. When loose roof is fQund supported by props which have to be moved either additional props or crossbars are to be set before knockini; or moving those props. While timbering or cro~sbarring extremely bad roof, men engaged in that type of work must be instructed by the supervisor in charge to always use safety props, Ernest Besso John Cukale Joe Kosovich Frank Subic Sam Canestrini Committee No. 4 ~e, Committee No. 4, recoml?lend that in handling and moving timber and rails, that the supervisory force continue to stress the need of the men keeping their minds on what they are doing at the mo~ent, keeping their fingers and toes in the clear, When the ha.ndles of wrenches are not long enough to get leverage to tighten the bolts or clamps, we would recommend that longer �handles be welded on to the wrench.
