No. 4 Mine, Rock Springs, Wins Sentinels Of Sa£ety Trophy PRESI.DENT PRYDE received advice from the V ICE 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 J 940. 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, wh o 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 lady 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, ] 6. The statuette was previously awarded to "B" Mine, Superior, in 1933, to " C" Mine, Superior, in ]934, to " D" Mine, Super1or, in J937, and again to " B" Mine, Superior, in 1938, and Winton No. ] 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 Ma nagement, looking toward greater safety in the Company's operations. Following this, the meetin g adj ourned and the members all ga thered at Howa rd's Cafe at 6 o'clock for dinner. During the course of the dinner, Mr. George B. Pryde, Vice President, presented keys to the two new mem bers, and reiterated the aims and purposes of the organization. Mr. I. N. Bayless, General Manager, spoke to the group, congratulating them on the splendid progress being made by the new Society, and urging them to " keep up the good wo rk." Mr. V. 0 .

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. Because 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." THE 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 def eat 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, graduated 53 students, the largest dass 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.

Jm1e, 1941 J I \ I ( J \ )· 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 When the dictators' rule is o'er, I vision the people 9f 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. I I l, I �EMPLOYES' MAGAZINE 26. Thos.

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 decision of the Judges. The teams, the writer learns, are all dil- 0 0 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.

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 Rock 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. 'B oy Scout Activities I Kenneth Lehto, Scribe for Troop 92, Winton, contributes the following items: At the recent Court of Honor held in the Congregational Church, Ro-ck Springs, eight boys received their Second-Class badges, and one the Tenderfoot award. Winton has two patrols, the Coyote and the Moose. The leader for the latter is Roy Busko, the assistant Ernest Nigra. Leader of the first-named patrol is Louis Shifrar, his assistant being Lawrence French. At the last Camporee, Troop 92 was not very well equipped, and they have hopes of being in better shape before the next gathering is scheduled. The \~'inton boys are enthused to 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 Wm. A. Willia111s A. WILLIAMS, whose last occupation with the WM.Company was as a Machine Boss in old No. 10 Mine here many years ago, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. 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.

Our Standards Are In1proving In 1927, eleven so lid gold medals were awa rded to mine foremen for having co nducted their respective mines one year without a fa tal accident. The eleven presentation s, together with three watches, were made in the respective location s wh ere the mines are located. It will be understood° that the mine foreman was onl y required to conduct his mine for twelve months without a fatal accid ent to win an award in the year 1927. le/t to Right: Geo. l. Add1,, Ben Cook, Arthur ]ea11S1•lme, DeForest Nielson. Mr. :\lcAuliffe, 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. addsed the members that special Iy 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 C:\1. 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 event The Union Pacific Coal Company mother chapter might adopt the name of Alpha Chapter, it not improbable that within a few years, numer- Medal awarded D. C. Foote in 1927. Since that time, the standard of efficien·cy 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. Q Science vs. Chance M R. LEWIS H. BROWN, in addressing the newly 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 haps be more properly called 'Science vs. Chance', and this story is briefly as follows: "The State of Kentucky passed very strict laws against what was termed 'games of chance' and, as is frequently 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 lawyer was at somewhat of a loss to know just what defense to present, but finally 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 science, 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 called for the prosecution who testified that the game of 'Seven Up' was a game of chance or luck, pure and simple; 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 defense, 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' ,:ide 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 theorie~ 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, APRI<"l94I during the entire ni ght, the "chance" men never won a game or turned a jack, although both feats were common and frequent to the opposition ; and furtJ1ermore, in support of this our verdict, we call attention to the significant fact that the "chance" men are all bu ted, and the "science" men have the money . It is the deliberate opinion of thi s jury that the " chance" theory con cernin g seven-up is a pernicious doctrine, and cal culated to inflict untold suffering and p~cuni a ry loss upon any community that takes stock in it.' "This delightful and humorous story by i\Iark Twain always brings to me th is thought : In this game which we are pleased to call ' life', the man who knows the fa cts of the game, and who applies to those facts meth odical , scientific effort, will alwa ys oµt-di stance the man who depends upon chance or luck to get hy. Mr. Ju stice Hughes once said, 'If the Court can get the facts, the decision will write itself.' I say that if you know your facts, and if you will appl y to those facts practical, methodical , scientific effort, the decision will al so write itself. "The prevention of accidents, this thing called 'Safety' , both in and out of industry, is not a luck or chance problem; it is a scientific problem to be treated methodically and scientifically, and into your hands is placed this great trust and this great privilege called 'Safety' to administer for the welfare, the happiness and the benefit of yourself and your fellow workmen." Mrs. Margaret l(elley February 21st, 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 ~too<l for peace, for brotherhood, for the cause of the poor and distressed."-Errzest F.

I noulcl like to r.:iake the folloi·,in 0 sui;;gestion in re card to safety in our mines: I think the job of tiGberiJ.1g should be Given a little more thoue;;llt. ·:i1ile we are usint:; a I.tore or· less systeHatic methoq. of t.iEbering in our r.tlnes, I ti1.ink ,·, e should pay more attention t"o each particula1· place, and if one s~•stcu does not suit, ci.cvise one that \"rill. I think a little more care al.on.:; thos~ l.ines ~1oulcl probably llavu soue effect in rcducin.'.; our accidents due to falls of top. Safety should be thought of at all tir,ies -r:hether at 11ork, at hone, or on the higlmays. iJy thinking of safety it alv1~ys rGr,t lncis us to be carei'ul and also the r1en that are w1clcr your jurisdiction. If everybody '.!oulcl think more of safety, I believe ne would have a better safatJ· rucorc.i. In ans~1er to your request for SU[;;f;estions for so.f ety, I ·.:ould recon11aend the use of leather gloves when llanclling uaterial, c:. • o t:.at 1:laterial be piled noatly. �- 2.,. In reply to your letter of April 24, will s i,.~go~, . that after a lost-time accident, the parties involved and witncs t: <.::~ t o i.-, e accident, including the Unit Foreman, give an account of' the ac-:;:i(i,_. J. to thu Safety Engineer as s?on as possible, to get the true facts of t , ,; :::as e . ..lso that the management finds out more facts on just how it happer, :' , and b o a littltr more strict about the case. Accidents that have been happuning in the Hanna Mines are due to a lot of carelessness, such as a nipper splicing a cable without taking off the power, causing a severe burn of t he hand; also of a motorman letting a knife slip and cutting another man on the leg, resulting in a bad cut on leg which took eight stitches. These accidents should have. been avoided and I think they should have been investigated. There are too many accidents of that kind ancl should be stopped by the Unit i"oreman . and the S~fety Engineer, with the help of the management. Maybe we do not talk enough or raise enough 11 hell, 11 but I think it i s time to do something about it, I am writing to you my ideas in regard to safety as it was suggested at the last meeting of the Sigma Tau ~psilon. First of all, the rooms should have plenty of timb er, they should be of the right siz u and set up in the right plac es, Ther e should also be a clearance throughout the mine at all timus. Subject: Safety Suggestion for No, 4 Tipple, Rock Springs: Our pros unt practice at No, 4 I.fine is for the tipplcman to bell thu Engineer to stop on the knuckle, othurwis e he comes straight through. I suggest that the engineer be instruct ud to stop on th(; knucklu every trip, unless he gets e. bell to pull onto th e tipple . Thi.:r c is a. possibility that the bull may gut out of order o.nd th e engint:<.:r mo.y not gut a. . bell to stop, If there should be a loaded trip standing on thi.: tippl u hu would push it through the dump, with our pres~nt pr~ctic 0. This would probably reduce the possibilit y of an r1cc i d<..:nt by ::. mechanical failure, or man f .- iilure, In accordance with your suggestion at the la~·t ..., . 'L .:.:i. rnu0t:i.ng for suggestions concerning safety or production, I would liko t o sugg8st that all new men, that is all men starting to work for the Coal Compa.ny, should be shown where the first aid equipment is kept on their section so that if they ever need it, they will not have to wander all over the mine to find it. Liy suggestion on safety is on cross bonds, grounds and wires for lights on partings or haulage ways where the men travel back and forth to their work, Since I have been in D. O. Clark Mine in 7 Seam, 2 North Parting, when coming off shift I had two men trip on a ground wire and -it was just good luck that they did not get hurt. I think the cross bonds should be nailed down to the ties and the ground wires to the lights should be trenched in the bottom or a flexible wire used. In regard to my suggestions toward improving our safety record, I have found nothing new of importance to suggest, only in a general way. As I a.'il on a committee on handling and use of e}.."J)losives, the Book of Standards and State Laws are adequate on this. However, I would like to suggest that everyone be sure the pv:;0r is off before taking powder to the face. Also that working places b e kept in as good a condition as possible, by keeping them clean and well timbered to improve efficienay and safety. One suggestion I should like to uakc, as a s a f vt,:: :Ieasure, would be to equip all drilling machines with clutches t hat n ill vie-~· J,; d-.;::.• :u1y conditions and at all times, �I / / I - 3 - In Prevention of Injuries from Slipping and Falling of Persons I personally think too much can not be said of the importance of seeing th~t the heels of mine shoes are kept up, that is, when worn off at the back 1 sides or worn down low, are replaced with new ones so that when stepping on a piece ~f coal, roe}{ or other object and slipping, one has a better chance to prevent himself from turning an ankle or "falling, or other injury by being able t'o regain balance sooner as stepping on anything with center of foot will very soon throw one off guard or bal~nce, and an unworn heel or sole can be of great help. Heads up- (if not too low coal) and alertness can be of great help in safety. In regard to some safety practice as requested by the Sigma Tau Epsilon, I suggest the follow:iing: I have noticed the unsafe practice of timbering in conveyor places where Duckbills are used, Timbers are not always secure where they are subject to being knocked out unnoticed with Duckbill while it is being moved. More caution should be taken while swinging Duckbill.s. I am writing in :regard to a safety suggestion. I have noticed as mining machines are pulled to the face that the hook on the cutter bar sheave does not get a full hold on cutter bar and it flies off. As a r ul e the faceman and Duckbill man are loading with their backs to the machine and the cutter bar sheave might hit one of them and cause an accident. I think t hat a hook on the cutter bar sheave should get a full hold of the cutter bar. I think that if we c·o uld instill into the workers the t hought af ob- serving their surroundings themselves and not depend on someone else to draw their attention to what might happen, it would help a lot in lowering the accident rate, One of the worst things that I notice 'is, 11 lJh Hell, that I s good enough - let the other shift fix it up, tr in other words ,just fix it -·so we can get by for this shift. Sooner or later this practice catches up with the fellow that does it and an accident follows. Another thought which comes to me is that when there is a change made in any working condition or practice that same should be posted at the mine so the worker would know what to expect from the Unit Foreman and a more uniform method of instructing worker would result. I believe that some of the accidents occurring at and near the working face of our mines, caused by falls of roof, face and rib coal, may be prevented by training and frequently reminding the men to sound the roof often, to keep the working places sufficiently and properly timbered and to promptly take down all overhanging face and rib coal, · Since Unit Foremen make frequent visits to the working places in their sections, they should carefully observe the condition of them, promptly have.any unsafe condition corrected and explain to the men the importance of the working pr.actices ment~oned herein. I think that if all switches were kept clean that there would be less trouble. Some rope riders or motormen throw a switch not paying any attention whether there is dirt between the latches or not and then run the trip in, Sometimes the latches are a little open and of course off the track they go, then of course they are put on the track, sometimes spreading :it • . ,:.1ki!:g it necessary to take track layers from another place, which is u : t , • ..•. for, There are other things such as cars behind brattice, which I con &,...,er dang.Jrous both to men and rope runners, also. where lll8n leave nails in boards or 2x41s, which. is a dangex-ous practice. �I Very often men, while moving the ratchet across the room face j~st . walk up and knock out a prop to le~ them across the face. The prop halbeen placed there for a purpose and should not be knocked out until another has been placed as near as possible to the one to be knocked out. I would suggest a campaign be made by all concerned to train our men as a whole to use this method. In reply to 1ir. I. N. Bayless' request, I am in favor of this corporation with anything pertaining to safety and feel it is our duty as Unit Foremen to offer our suggestions, and I, myself, with nearly 50 years of experience in coal rnining in Wyoming and Utah at all kinds of work in or around coal mines and I sincerely believe that the main thll'.lg in coal mines is the careful laying of tracks to see if they are well balanced, levelled and well filled in, good clearance, well timbered where necessary, especially on haulage ways. I am always willing to do my part for better and more up-to-date practice. I'll stick to the same as I suggested to you about a month ago when you were on my section, that is the nips in the mining machine cables should be installed within fifty feet of the mining machine in room and pillar workings. The safety end of this is that as props are set it often intraps the cable so that they have to be knocked out to release the cable. It also saves time and parts. As it is, often the controller sticks, arcs and fires before you can run to pull the switch and the: controller is burned to costly repair where the cable could bu jerked vury hard to pull the nips apart to cut the power off. I notice that the loads at times arc wildcatted down the high line from the outside landing yards immediately after a motor trip and the nipper rides these loads until they catch the motor trip which is also in motion. At times it bumps very hard and the nipper jumps from car to car, standing up as the trip is going down to the tipple. He gets in between the bumpers to couple on the main trip and it the trip pulls apart or gets off track he is in a very bad spot. This is a bad practice. Suggest these men read Book of Rules on haulage. Does our failure to reduce the accidents occurring on the outside serve as evidence that the men who do the work do not hear enough about safety methods to make them Safety-Conscious? • Accidents due to carelessness are by far too common. Will frequent advice to be more cautious and careful, especially at the beginning of a new job, serve as a present n·ecessary incentive? It is my opinion that the Company Rules together with the Book of Standards cover nearly every phase of the Union Pacific Operation, however no systematic study or follow through on these two books has ever been undertaken. In this connection another suggestion has been advanced by Mr. Bayless relative to a study or educational course for Unit Foremen. V~,y not have someone in the General Office abstract these two books, sending mimeogr:.: . phed copies each two or three weeks to each camp of a part of these two books for a general talk and discussion that would cover about one hour and thus study and review the contents of the Standards and Rules? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is absolutely necessary thet our Safety and Operating staffs get on the job and stop the trend of increase in injuries. I am somewhat fearful that Safety Engineer Peternell is not follouing up as he should on men reported .as receiving hernias Md slight injuries. You should also have it distinctly understood by the supervisory ataff 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.

HE Union Pacific Coal Company Testablished a new milestone in coalmine accident prevention on the evening of February 27, when there was organized under the auspices of the company at Rock Springs, Wyo., Chapter No. 1 of the first GreekLetter: Mine Safety Society established in connection with any branch of the mining industry in any part of the world. 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 1938, 1939, 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 organizat ion will be maintained on a definitely democratic basis.

Mine foremen who were in local charge of any certain mine which has won or in the future may win che Sentinels of Safety trophy, or who were in charge of a mine in which no lost-time accident was suffered for a calendar year. Members qualifying under this section will not be p rivileged either to hold office or to vote. 3. Unit foremen who have conducted a section or sections in any mine or mines for three consecutive calendar years without a lost-time accident suffered by any employe working under their direction. Unit foremen who have conducted their section or sections without a lost-time accident for the calendar years 1938, 19 39, and 1940 will be eligible to membership in the society. Members qualifying ·1111der thfa section will be Privileged both to hold office and to vote. 4. Outside foremen who were in charge of the outside men employed in any mine or group of mines to whom no lost-time accident occurred for a period of three calendar years.

The step Is the latest in the company's safety move that hao reduced the lost-time accident rate in the company's mines to o.lmost a tenth of the rate of 18 years ago. Sigma Tau Epsilon becomes a safety honor society for groups of mine officials having the most direct contact with the men under them. It Is believed to be the only organization • of Its kind In the world. Unit foremen and outside forem an havtng charge of ~roups of m en who work for a three-) ear period without lost-time accidents for the entire group ln his chnrge, with 1938 being the first year to be considered, are eligible lo membership with the right of voling and holdlng office.

Bywater of the United States Geo·logical survey, and n. R. Knill, company safety engineer. President McAuliite pointed out that the membership Is composed of men who have aclually participated In the saving of life and limb in the company coal mines through extension of the ~a!ety program to a point that the results have commanded attention not only In the United States but in Canada and Great Britain as well. During the first five :,t·:\rs of the safety drive, 1923-27, l'J67 lost-time accidents occurred l;. the company mines, during the mi1 •ng of 14,368,523 tons of coal. ln• the last five-year period, 1936 !O, 16,468.358 tons of coal were mined ~·ith but 163 lost-time mishaps. �I I Mine safety fraternity is organized Union Pacific Coal Company unit may become model for nation-wide organization • W I T H the founding at Rock Springs, "'yoming, 011 February 27, of a mine safety (raternity, to be known as Sigma Tau Epsilon, a new concepLion of safety as a bond of fellowship comes into being, and a new visla 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 l1ave capLUrecl 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 o( the fraternity held on the evening of February 271 was addressed by Eugene McAuliffe, president, I. N. Bayless, general manager, George B. Pryde, vice president, and R.R. Knill, safety engineer, all of The Union Pacific Coal Company; also J ames 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. T hese men are the backbone o( 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 gujde its course and conduct its affairs. Mine foremen having local charge of any mine which has won or in the fu. ture 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~t have neither voting nor office- holding rights. Mine superimen<lents in general charge of any mine winning the Sentinels of Sa(ety trophy wi ll auto• matically qualify for membership, but arc likewise barred from voting or holding office. Foremen who subsequently advance to higher positions forfeit their voting privileges but retain membership. There will be no honorary members. Thus the principle of maintaining the fra ternity on a thoroughly democratic basis is established and implemented. R egular mecti11gs of the fraternity will be held t1uartcrl)'· in addition to which there will be special meetinffs called by the president whose duty 1t is to arrange suitable programs for the meetings. No dues are LO be collectecl from any member, and no expenses may be incurred withou t the approval of the general ma11agc:111ent or T he Union Pacific Coal Company. Commiuees on safe practice recommendations, appointed by the president at the first quarterly meeting ol each year, will study accident prevention methods and submit repons LO meetings. Approved reports will be J,'lle shall be glad to be of service lo those interested in obtaining further i11formn.lio11 onSigmn. Tau EjJsi/011. Letten on the subject will be brought lo the attention of the sponsors of Uie movement. pa~~cd on to the company's safety engineer for consiJeration o f the management. The underlying purpose of the fraternity, lo couLribute LO the advan cement of safety, is perhaps best summed up in the by-law which outlines the funcLions of the commiuees: "It will be understood that the real work of the several commiLLees is to observe bad practice, making recommendations regarding same, thus an ticipating and auempting to prevent accidents." The emblem of the fraternity, to be donated by The Un ion Pacific Coal Company, will be a handsome key, engraved with Lhe member's name and year of election. 1n commenting on the new fraternity, ~Ir.

When the train arrived a crowd of Kaffirs advanced to unload it, ,Churchill slipped out al the end of the truck bet"\veen the couplings and reached the yard where he stood, his slovenly and unkempt appearance enabling him to mingle with the Kal:Tirs. 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 Mr. Howard' s, was found waiting without. After an exchange of glances, Burgener turned and walked off into the town, Churchill following twenty yards behind. Agai n we will quote Mr. Churchill: "We 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- blesr vision !- 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 peri od cousisting 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 be 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 <tuestion "Time's" designation-Man of the Year. Fore1nen and Outside Foremen In Particular Department of this issue of the EmI ployes'Safety Magazine will be found an outline of N THE the organizalion of a Greek letter Safety Honor Society to be known as SIGMA TAU EPSILON. which will take place in Rock Springs on February 27, 1941. The purpose of this organization is to give due credit to the various Unit Foremen in our several mines who work continually in connection with the actual production of coal while the mines are in operation, the matter of adequately looki11g after the men i n their charge their first and greatest responsibility. The new Society "\Vill he conducted by the Unit Foremen and Outside Foremen who are q,ualified for admission therein and The Union Pacific Coal Company who strives to keep dose to the head in mine safety effort, doubtless will be justified in saying that SIGMA TAU EPSILON will be the first Greek letter society ever organized in connection with the work of mine safety. Regular quarterly meetings will be held four times annually, with special meetings when same are deemed necessary, and the government of this society, including the exclusive right to hold office and vote, will rest with tl1e 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 he barred from membership, unless same has been attained before their promotion to various managerial offices and no honorary memberships shall at any time he established by this society. 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 bis 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 Companr'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 Februarv ~th. • / l l I { �FEBRUARY, 1941 EMPLOYES' MACAZl l'\E "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 e,·erywhere. He had two Dutch servant-maids actually sleeping in the house. There were many Kaffirs employed about the mine premises and on the pumping-machinery of the mine. Surveying these dangers he became very thoughtful. "Then: 'But you are famishing.' "I did not contradict him. In a moment he had bustled off into the kitchen, 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 difficulty,' 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 win.ding-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 afterwards proved to he 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. ·I keep them unclt>r lock and key. Now we m\. plan how to feed }ou lo morrow.' " 'Don •t you m oYe 1· rom l1erc, w hatever happens,' was the parting injunction. ·There will be Kaffirs a bout the mine after daylight, but we shall be on the look-out that none of them wanders this way. None of tJ1e111 ha!> seen anything so far.' " My four friends trooped off 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 monotonous 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 fatigue, I soon slept the sleep of the weary- but of the triumphant." Mr. Howard's inquiries developed that the Pretoria government was making tremendous efforts to re-capture Churchill, special attention aiven to the Middleburg mining region as a likely place for his hiding as all of the people of England connected with the coal mining region were more or less suspe_cted. Expressing his willingness to try to work his way out, particularly if a Kaffir guide and pony w~re f~rnished ~r. Howard urged that he remam qwet, assuring hun that in due time plans for his escape would be worked out. Mr. Churchill's stay in the mine and his experience with mine ra!5, 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 be 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 as !um, �Rock Springs - February 18 , 1941 //J'• £Ugene r:cAuliffe ; J j ·/ Rei'orri ng t o yours of Februa ry 14th, 41C-05 : ! 8n returning under separlite cover the suggested design for key embleo. ,;c think it is very attractive, and of sufficient quality.

The com_pany in the past has made various awards to foremen for noteworthy injury-prevention records. These arc to be continued in conjunction with the award of membership in the Safely Key Men's Organizutio11. Past awards have consisted of engraved certificates to sectional foremen who go 3, 6, 9 and 12 months without a lost-time mjury; pocket knives and lapel buttons to sectional foremen finishing a calendar year wit.bout a lost-time injury; presentation of the company safety flag to tlie mine with the best quarterly record; und an all-expense trip to the National Safoty Council convention each A 60 Selling safety to foremen is foremen in direct charge of workmen recognized as the most important must have supervised at least one full single factor in success in acci- year of work and a minimum number of man-hours wjthout a lost-lime in• dent prevention.

Attempts have been made in the past to organize foremen's safety organizations- mem·bership 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 worili striving for. In recognizing performance by officials it is a truism of good management that "results cowit--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 tl1e Safety Key Men's Organization are that sectional foremen and other inely interested in safety work hut also were we11 versed in gelling tangible results they found the interchange of ideas among themselves both stimulating and interesting. The result was an organization of such exce1Ient humall 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 ]1onor 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, i t was t() be a rneans of conferrfog merited honor 11nd 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, h was Ielt that the insignia should be cnmmensurate with the achit:vemt>nt it represented. Therefore, it was decided to present each member with an attractive gold COAL AGE_:_ Vol. 45, No. 4 �WHAi C~NCINNATI MEANS ro ~n 9nvitation "Jrom the J\lational Ghairman &~ill ill IT t &ml llnmnm~ ~@lill~llifil:~~ u D . 1 ~ rn DD OD OD .00 ~ V [c OR 16 years the annual Coal Conventions and [f 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 maintaining its position as the nation's leading energy source. The momentum of this progress is allimportant and can ,b est be maintained through the industry's concerted support of these annual meetings. The 17th Annual Coal Convention and Exposition will he held at Cincinnati 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 px,ogram 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.

Their acquaintance and intimate association make for the close-knit industry person• nel 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.

Of a total of 173 foremen, 43 qua lified for membership at the Lime of organization. To make it possible for them to take an active pa rt 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 Material (Inside) . 4. Tools and Machinery (Inside). 5. Gas and Miscellaneous (Inside). 6. Explosives and Electricity (Inside). 7. Slipped and Fell (Inside). 8.

The Publicity Committee edits The Sa/ety Commentator, the company's monthly publication devoted to safety matters, and also awards a $5 prize each month for the best safety sugges• tion submitted by any employee in the previous month. The other _committees have the following functions: 1. Study 0£ all accidents in its particular class whfoh occurred on company property during th': past year and preparation of bulletms on prevention based on that study. 2.

Copies ~£ the formal reports covering all ac_c1dents of the type being studied during tJ1c previous year are furnished the com• mittee which goes over each report scpar;tely, the secretary making notes as to rei,ponsibility, cause and other pertinent factors on a ruled form provided for the purpose. When all the reports have been s tudied, the committee analyze!> the notes, select a subject for the bullt'tfo and prepares a brief stalcnwnt of their conclusions on this to pic, together w ith recommended safe prnctices to be folJ owcd to prevent r ecn r• r ence of the purticular injury di:.cusscd.

Following receipt of a hulh•tin. each sectional foreman passos the content~ on to his men and instructs them a to any recommendations thcn·in. Such r ecommendations ther eafter have the status of company safety rules. After the sectional foreman has properly instructed his men, he i,ubmits a signed statement to that effect to his mine foreman. The mine foreman then questions as many of the men as possible to determine if they correctly understand the recommendations.

Bulletins issued by the Key Men's committees promote safety in a num• bcr of ways. They sell ideas lo a foreman in a psychologically sound way because he does not feel that a bulletin is j ust another dictum from some higher-u p who does not have to wou y about how the job is Lo be done. Also, the bulletin comes from men who have obta ined results by applying the rules they suggest.

T·he bulletins, it is true, do not introduce new ideas on safety very often because our experience has been analyzed so thoroughly in the past that we a lready a re well acquainted with the various types of injuries and ways of preventing them. H owever, they do furnish a novel, timely a nd authorita tive means o f repeating safety rules already in effect, as well as an excellent method of introducing new r ules and modHying old ones. Forty-five bulletins were issued by the commiltees in 1939. These 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 in.vestigation ·by the Key Men's committees, the management visualized several salutary effects. First, it stimulates supervisory officials to greater efforts in the discovery and eliminatioµ of hazards which might cause fatalities. Second, we get the opinion of several disinterested yet competent observers on the cause and prevention of_ our fatal accidents. Third, it broadens the viewpoint of the Key Men, who have shown by their records that they are the men most likely to grasp the lessons of experience. Further, through the Key Men, the knowledge gained from close contact with the circumstances attending fatal accidents is more widely disseminated. In every case where a committee has investigated an accident, it is worth noting that it hos gone about it zealously and exhaustively, yet with utmo!it fairness nnd COAL AGE- Vol. 45, No. 4 �5' ~ -~ ~ t s;~~ t:= g ...

As i t still is only 18 months since the inception of the organization it is obvious that we cannot say 'yet what pe.rmanent effect it will have on our accident record. However, as we have watched the development of the plan we have beco?1e convinced of its soun?ness and merit. It will, of course, r~CJU:Ire two or three years to obtain s1gmficant statistical results.

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 shHt 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 organizat..ion has experimented mth mechanical loading since 1921 and M April, 1940 - COAL AGE With an average of 14 in. of rash and drawslate to he 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 August, 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- , Q 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 company 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 months. But with the economic con• ditions 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 be developed which also would 63 J �&ssurc the requ1s1te safety for cm· ·1,.-•ployees. In 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 the 8BU machjne purchased in 1930 and put it to work driving a six-heading entry two shHts a day. In the first fourteen days of work, in April, 1938, the machine averaged 165 tons per shiit. In May, we decided lo put tl1e loading machine on a two-,:hifts-per-day five-days-per- 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 man· agement 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 production. The new machines actually arrived in August and November, and, as they had to be coupled with Goodman slabbing machin.es, a new Arthur Downing Active working place in No. 3 haulage heeding. Heavy broken line indicates cen_ter line of track to face 35 ft. from the camera position. Top portion of the 40-,n. 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 w,11 be required to support the remaining intermediate slate. H ere, in No. 4 Main, 20 in. of rock is taken down. C. A. Cook, general superintendent, inspects the top cut, which in this case was made in the coal because here the frail top is principelly sandstone. 64 slabber also was ordered, arriving late in November, 1938. Because of broken working time in December, 1938, and J anuary, 1939, mechanical-loading rcsulls 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, the daily aver• age 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 J oy loaders are get• ting 300 tons or more per shift. How• ever, conditions in the mine should be ta.ken into consideration before passing judgment. All the coal came from two sets of six-heading entries with crosscuts driven 80 ft. apart. Ten of the headings were 20 ft. wide and the 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 half. headers. Safety posts also are set in each place. In J une and July, 1939, an average of 24 in. of impurities was encoun• tered 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 im11rovement in these conditions, with the result that the COAL AGE- Vol. 45, No. 4 �r j EM PLOYES' MAGAZINE NovEr.IBER, 194 JJJlels of Sa£ety Trophy , (JcroBER 12th the Sentinels of Safety lroph , Jauarded. hy the f Hercules P o\\der 0 mpany) the U • S • Bureati of 1\". 11 ;1/J the assistance o •unes • 11 as presente d to ti1e woTkers of the Ol yphant Min; of Tlie .Hudson · - .- . .

I hope that some of the men who worked in that mine in 1933 are here today. " The artist who conceived and e:xecuted this heautiful trophy, chose for his subject the most sacred relationship that exists within the Imman race, that of the mother to her child. It is a pity that more of us wlJo are fathers do not accept our responsibilities toward our children in a somewhat deeper sense. Unfortunately we are prone to leave lo the mothers too many of the dudes 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 ~vorkers, the last mentioned the class who furrush the flesh and blood, and who with their fami_lies endu~e the suffering that follo_ws every ac?1~ent. It 1s out of sincere cooperation and a sp1nt of workinu together that betterment will come, and you m~st 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.

He also has a full voice in the making of the laws that aovern his affairs, and in establishing the conditions under which he works, including hours and rates of pay. There is yet opportunity in America for a workman to select his employer. lVIay I say further, that there is a very definite obliaa. tion on the part of the workers to select for their leaders men who have vision and capacity for leadership, and who will 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<lvan'Cement, by creating for themselves a 'nuisance value.' * * * ~ ~ ''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 safetyb_u t 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. .. . ..

Our first :::election: '·THE LONG HILL" '·I must have passed the -crest a while ago And now I am going down-Strange 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 Tu :>land there straight as a queen, Wrapped in the wind and the sun with the world undermeBut the air was dull, there was little I could have seen. ..It was nearly level along the heaten 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 :\1iss Teasdale"s verses chosen is : "Infinite tenderness, infinite irony Are hidden forever in her closed eyes, Who must have learned too well in her long loneliness How emptr wisdom is, ewn to the wise."

'·EFFIGY OF A NUN" ••( Sixteenth Cenb1 ry )" "Infinite gentleness, infinite irony Are in this face with fast-sestled eyes, And round this mouth that lea:rned in loneliness How useless their wisdom is to the wise. ..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. '·In her nun's habit carved, pati,~ntly, lovingly, " 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. By one who knew the ways of womankind, This woman's face still keepi;, in its cold wistful calm, All of the subtle pride of her mind. '·These long patrician hands, clusping the crucifix, Show she had weighed the world, her will was set; These pale curved lips of he s, holding their hidden smile Once having made their choice, knew no regret. ..She 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 watchin~ a play. "If she was curious, if she was Rassionate . She must have told herself th.at love was great, But that the lacking it might be as great a thing If i;.he held fast to it, challen ~g fate. "She who so loved herself anl:I her own warring thoughts, 64 Watching their humoro\is, tragic rebound, In her thick habit's fold, sleeping, sleeping, Is she amused al dreams she has found ? "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.

I An inJ.u ry of this kind appears to be so usele-ss and indicates a definite lack of instructions to haulage men. I understand that there 't1as very little coal being mined in the No. 9 Seam and the haulageway was not in any t:1ay crowded, and the peeuliar circumstances under which Mr. Russell was injured may cause an investigation by the Federal inspectors and elicit some criticism. 1 0 I would suggest that another campaign be put on to inform all supervisors andhlave them in turn to instfouct all haulage men as to the proper handling of mine cars underground. All haulage men should be 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 s ide of the tracks under any oircumstances while cars are in motion. Our foremen should be instructed to keep familiar with our book of standards and book of rules . RECEI VED DEC 21950 I �/7 ,,,/,,/ ;tock Sprin~s - November 24, 1950 .,. /1• N.

This represents a condition that should be thoroughly investigated. I ~ the conveyor sta.rted up without any controls being handled, then the wiring would have to be defective. If the conveyor waE started by the uee of the controls while ~~r . ~·lelch was in the position he was on the conveyor , handling the screening plate, lt represents a l ack of proper caution and, to say the least, a very dangerous practice.

This provision shall apply a s well in the taking of depositions as in trials to the court. At the conclusion of the hea ring, the court shall enter an order pu rsuant to the verdict of the jury, if a jury be ca lled, and if no jury be called, the court or judge sha ll render a decision upon the facts and law of the case pursuant to the provisions of this .chapter, and make an order allowing or disallowing compensation , as the law and the evidence may warrant. In a ny proceeding before a court or judge, as aforesaid, the court or judge sha ll have authority to app oint a duly qualified impartial physician to examine t he injured ernploye a nd giYe testimony. The fee fol' such service shall be five dollars ($5.00), unless otherwise ordered o y the court, with mileage allowance, as is allowed to other ,vitnesses, which shall be taxed as costs, and paid as other witness f ees are paid.

Every employer engaged in any of the occupations herein defined as extra-hazardous, is hereby . required to pay into the state treasury for the benefit of the industrial accident fund a sum of money equal to one and one-half per cent (1 ½.% ) of the money earned by each of his employes engaged in such extra-hazardous employment during each calendar month of such employment. Such payment shall be so made on or before the 15th day of the month following the month for which such payments are computed and paid. Each employer shall continue to . make monthly contributions as above provided unless his account, after making the hereinafter specified deductions therefrom, shall equal full two per cent (2%) of his annual payroll computed by multiplying his current month's payroll' of workmen engaged in extra-hazardous employment by twelve and shall likewise be not less than three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) provided, however, that any employer whose account is overdrawn shall be required to pay monthly a sum of �WORKMEN'S COlVIPE NSATION ACT COMPENSATION ACT money (including the payments as above specified) equal to four per ,eent ( 4% ) of the money earned by each of his employes engaged in such extrahazardous employment during each calendar month of such employment until such overdraft shall be paid. Such employer shall not be compelled to contribute when his contlibutions in the fund, after making deductions as aforesaid, shall equal two per cent (2%) of his annual payroll, and shall likewise be not less than three thousand dollars ($3,000.00). In addition to the other payments reqµired by this section to be paid into the industrial ac.cident fund, every employer engaged in any of the occupations herein defined as extra-hazardous shall make a payment to be known as a "service and policing charge." Such service and policing charge shall be paid by the employer into the state treasury for the benefit of the industrial accident fund and shall not be credited to the balance of the employer contributing. The amount of balance in the industrial accident fund to the employer's credit shall not relieve him of his duty and liability to pay the s·e rvice and policing charge; provided, however, that no employer who pays for any calendar month four per cent. of the moneys earned by each of his employes engaged in such extra-hazardous employment during such calendar month shall be .compelled to pay a service and policing charge for such month. The service and policing charge shall be computed on the monthly premium paid by the individual employer into the state treasury for the benefit of the industrial accident fund during each calendar month 1 or on the premium whkh the employer would have been required to pay had not the amount of the employer's balance relieved him from the payment of a premium. The amount of the service and policing charge shall be determined according to the following schedule: Service and Policing Charge Where the monthly payment for month. is less than 10.00 ______ - - - - - - $ 1.10 10.01 to 20.00___________ 2.20 20.01 to 30.00___________ 3.30 30.01 to 40.00 _ _ _ 4.40 40.01 to 50.00 ___ 5.50 60.01 to 60.00___________ 6.60 60.01 to 70.00____ 7.70 70.01 to 80.00___________ 8.80 80.01 to 90.00___________ 9.00 90.01 to 100.00___________ 9.50 100.01 to 150.00____ 13.50 150.01 to 200.00___________ 18.00 200.01 to 300.00======== 24.00 300.01 to 400.00 30.00 ~ 400.01 to 500.00____ 35.00 500.01 to 750.00____ 48.75 Over 17 750.01 t o 1,000.00 ___________ G0.00 1,000.01 to 1,500.00 ___________ 82.50 1,600.01 t o 2,000.00 ___ ______ __ 100.00 2,000.01 to 3,000.00 ___________ 120.00 3,000.01 to 4,000.00 ___________ 140.00 4,000.01 to 5,000.00 ______ _____ 150.00 5,000.00 ______________ ____ ___ 175.00 Provided, however, in that the expense of the administration of t his chapter and of making the colle.ctions herein fixed , is greater as t o non-resident empl oyers engaged in ext ra-hazardous occupations, tha n such expense obtains t o such employers bona fid e domiciled within t he state of Wyoming, the service and policing charge, upon t he mont hly premium paid by non-r esident employer s, engaged in extra-hazardous occupations, sha ll be double the fore going schedule, as the same applies to resident employers engaged in ext ra-hazardous occupation . " Non-resident" employers of e:irt ra-hazardous occupations shall give bond or other securit y in the s um of five hundred dollars ($500.00 ), t o be approved by t he st at e treasure r or his deputies, before starting the work. The contract of said bond or other security shall be condi tioned t hat the said employer will fai thfully perfo nn all t he duties imposed by thi s act upon employers engaged in extrahazaroous occupations and promptl y pay i nto the state treasury, at the time a nd in the manner set forth in section 12 4-117 of the Revised Statutes ·of Wyoming, 1931, and all acts amendatory or i n aid thereof , the sums of money required to be p aid by employers in extra-hazardous occupations. And to this end, "non-resident" employer~ ~ng,3ged in extra-hazardous occupations are hereby required, before starting •work, and from time to time after such work has been started, to report to the state treasurer the nature and progress of such work, the location of the same and the number of employes engaged in and upon the work and likely to be so engaged for the next thirty (30) days giving such further and detailed information as the state treasurer may reasonably demand. The ,villful failure or negligence on the part of any "non-resident" employer of extra-hazardous occupations to give said security, to make the reports, and/ or to furnish the information required by this section, shall be a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, such employer shall be punisher! by a fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), recoverable with costs in any court of competent jurisdiction. Provided, however, that "non-resident" employers of extra-hazardous occupations shall not be required to give bond or other security for any payment or payments required of them for the "service and policing charge" required by this section.

The entry of final order by the judge of a district court having jurisdiction of such cause approving and allowing an award of compensation shall be prima facie proof of t he liability of an employer so failing to ,compl y with this provision of this chapter; provided, t hat non- resident employers, upon engaging in any extra-hazardous occupation as defined in this chapter, and haYing in thei r employ workmen performing such e}..1;ra-ha zru:dous work, shall be deemed from the date of the commencement of such work, to have designated t he secretary of state of the state of W yoming their agent for service of any proces - upon them in an y action prosecuted hereinunder; and f urt her, provided, that the secretary of state, upon the receipt of any process shall send the same by register ed mail to the address of the addressee only, and shall r equest that a return receipt for same be furnished.

(A list of these district offices, with the territories they serve, is to be found on p. 10.) the Corporation went into operation were being THE INSURANCE positors, in particular, and the general public as well, a clearer idea of what deposit insurance is doing for them. In actual results the plan has been eminently satisfactory. For example, insured de- paid on August I. It was estimated that 99 percent of their depositors would be paid in full. The depositors of closed insured banks are assured of immediate payment. In the four suspensions cited above the Corporation has begun paying depositors within ten days of the appointment of a receiver. 4. Q. Wlzat is deposit insurance? A. The protection of depositors against loss of • their deposits in the event of bank failure. At the present time the maximum amount insured for each depositor is $5,000. 5. Q. When did the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION begin insuring deposits? A. January r, 1934. THE FUND 6. Q. What is the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A. A fund created by payments from insured banks. Page2 Page3 �7. Q. How long will the temporary phase of d:sit insurance continue? A. By act of Congress it is to continue until] uly 1 1935, whenitwill be replaced by the permanent plan: 8. Q. Is the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CoRP0RATI0N a permanent organization? A. Yes. g. Q. What is the source ef the monrys ef the Insurance Corporation? A. They come from three sources: A subscription from the Treasury of the United States of $150,000,000, a subscription from the Federal Reserve banks of about $140,000,000, and payments by insured banks. 10. Q. How large is the Fund and how are its monrys invested? A. At the present time it amounts to $320,000,000 and is being held in cash or invested in United States Government securities. The Corporation may also issue its bonds to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to the amount of another $250,000,000, although this has not been done as yet. ELIGIBLE BANKS II. Q. Do all banks have deposit insurance? A. All banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System (which includes all nati~nal banks in the United States and some State banks) were required by law to join the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund. State banks not members of the Federal Reserve System were free to apply for insurance or not as they chose. The great majority of them are now insured. 12. Q. How are insured banks to be distinguished? A. After October r, x934, insured banks will carry the insignia of the F.D.I.C. at their receiving ·windows. (A reproduction of it is to be found on P· x_x.) Further, they have been supplied with a certificate of membership which they will be glad to show you. Page4 ' I 3· Q. How many banks are members ef the fund? A. On August I, 1934, there were 14,054 of the nation's banks in the fund. Of these, 963 were State member banks of the Federal Reserve System, 5,438 were national banks, and 7,653 were State nonmember banks. 14. Q. Can mutual savings banks become insured by the Corporation? A. Yes. The benefits of deposit insurance are available to mutual savings banks. I 5. Q. Can savings banks become members ef the Temporary Federal Deposit Insurance Fund? A: Yes; together with all banks doing a deposit busmess they are free to apply for insurance. 16. Q. Among insured banks, why has interest on demand deposits been prohibited and a maximum interest rate set for time and savings deposits? A. Under the Banking Act of 1933, banks. which are members of the Federal Reserve System are prohibited from paying any interest on demand deposits and it is made the duty of the Federal Reserve Board to adopt regulations prescribing the maximum rates of interest to be paid on time and savings deposits. To carry out this policy and in the interest of sound banking the Federal Reserve Board set the maximum rate ofinterest at 3 percent on time and savings deposits. The member banks to which this regulations applied were required to insure their deposits. Other banks were permitted to insure their deposits upon voluntary application. Congress declared that all banks should enjoy equally the benefits of insurance. In order to secure such equal enjoyment it was necessary for the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION by regulation, to prevent the banks which were no; members of the Federal Reserve System from paying any interest on demand deposits and from paying a higher rate of interest on time and savings deposits than could be paid under the lawful regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. An important Page5 �, , attribute of sound banking has thus been extended to all insured banks. DEPOSITS INSURED 22. Q. What is meant by tlze phrase "owner of a claim arising out of a deposit liability" of a closed bank? A. Any person holding evidence of a bank's deposit obligation to him or evidence of some debt arising from the bank's deposit obligations is considered the owner of a claim against the deposit liabilities of a closed bank. CLOSED BANKS 17. Q. When a bank is closed through inability to pay its depositors, does the Insurance Corporation make tlze insured portion of deposits immediately available? A. Yes. Just as soon as a receiver or liquidator has been put in charge the Insurance Corporation proceeds to make the insured deposits available to the depositors. 23. Q. Are any deposits preferred under the scheme of deposit insurance? A. No. All share equally in the benefits of deposit insurance. 18. Q. What is the method for making available to the depositors the insured amount of their deposits? A. A new national bank is immediately set up by the F.D.I.C. to pay the insured deposits of the closed bank. 24. Q. Do all types of deposits have the benefits of insurance? A. Yes. All types of personal and corporate deposit obligations, deposits of public funds, and deposits of other banks in insured banks are included in the plan. Trust funds awaiting investment are also included in this insurance. 19. Q. Does the new national bank set up by the F.D.I.C. pay interest on the insured accounts of the closed institution? A. No. Interest is not paid on the insured accounts of closed institutions. 20. Q. What happens to a closed bank after the Corporation has taken over the insured deposit liability? A. A closed bank is placed in liquidation. If it be a national bank the Comptroller of the Currency appoints the Corporation as receiver. If it be a State bank the Corporation may or may not be appointed receiver, depending upon whether the State law authorizes such appointment and upon the discretion of the appointing power. To facilitate liquidation the Corporation may purch~e the assets of the closed bank if it be a member of the Federal Reserve System. 2 I. Q. Does the Corporation pay the insured deposits regardless of the reason for failure of a closed bank? A. Yes. The purpose of deposit insurance is to prevent loss to depositors and hence the reason for failure does not influence the Corporation's liability. Page6 l 25. Q. Must' a depositor have $5,000 in his account before he can enjoy insurance benefits? A. No. Five thousand dollars is the insured limit for one depositor and all amounts up to and including that are fully insured. Accounts larger than that are insured up to $5,000. This does not mean that a depositor with an account of $ 100 will be paid $5,000 in the event his bank closes, but it does mean that he will get all of his $100. 26. Q, What proof of his claim is it necessary for a depositor in a closed bank to present in order to bepaid his insured deposit? A. His pass book, certificates, or other evidence of the closed bank's deposit debt to him and some means of personal identification are sufficient proof of the depoiitor's claim. 27. Q. Ifa depositor has billsfalling due and his bank is closed, can he check against the insuredportion ofhis account? A. No. The closed bank will be in the hands of the receiver. However, the new bank of the Page 7 �<? Insurance Corporation will make immediately available the insured amount due him so that he will not be greatly inconvenienced. 28. Q. How does the Corporation pay the insured deposits? A. As the claims of depositors are approved and allowed, orders are issued which may be paid at once or through the Federal Reserve bank of the Reserve district where the closed bank is situated. 29. Q. May the depositor get the insured portion of his account in cash? A. Yes. The depositor may be paid in cash if he so desires. ' 33. Q. Would it be possible to take four equal negotiable certificates of deposit for an account of $20,000 and thus procure full insurance? A. No. This would cause their holder to be an owner in the same right and in the same capacity and, hence, his insurance claim would be limited to $5,000. If after taking them out the original owner subsequently transferred them to four separate persons in the usual course of business, each of those holders would, however, have an insured claim. 30. Q. If a bank customer has unused traveler's checks in his possession at the time tlze issuing bank suspends, will they be accepted as claims against the insured deposit liabiliry of the bank? A. If the traveler's checks issued by the closed bank are the outgrowth of the holder's deposits they are acceptable to the limit of the insurance. 3 I . Q. If the books of a bank show that a husband and wife each have an account in each of their names and, in addition, have a jointly owned account, does each of these accounts come under the benefits of the insurance and are they considered separately in determining the amount due under the insurance limit? A. Yes; if the accounts are in fact owned as shown on the bank records. In the case of the jointly owned account, however, the right of survivorship must have been provided. 32. Q. If an estate of $20,000 is being held in a closed bank and there are four heirs to share equally in it, is the account thus fully insured? A. If the title of the account states the names of the four heirs and specifies that they are to share equally, the account is separately owned in four equal undivided parts and the individual owners are fully protected. If the title is not so held the account is considered as a unit and the amount payable by the Insurance Corporation is limited to the maximum of$5,ooo.
