Clark Mine , Suocrior , Wyoming on the morning shift, M 25 , 1960 indicates that Mr . Jamee Smith and Albert Omoda were working on what le known as the m1dn1ght or early morning shift and vere assigned to transoort a motor and control panels to a recently oonetructed hoist room at No . 2 Slope, No . 7 Seam . Thi a material was 1n mine onre and an 8-ton haulage locomotive was used . man , Mr . Steven L. Unit Fore- ooompan1ed the~c men to supervise the work . After unloading the equipment at the hoist room, the men cleaned up some coal along the slope and rerockdusted the slope and hoist room which 1s above the ms1n entry parting . pproxi mately 4,000 feet Mr . Thomas Miller, Fire Bose, ¥as the first man to reach the inJured men, and reports that these men had videntl7 used the locomotive· as n means or trans~ortat1on to the outside parting at the end or the shift , and they had three loaded mine oara. They ev1dentiy failed to use auft1c1ent skids or brakes on the trip to control it and lost control of the locomotive on hich the men were riding , and the locomotive derailed pproximatel7 7Q feet above the ma1n parting or sidetrack and threw these men sga1nat the rib or coal . The three ot them were seriously injured. James M. Smith died at the Memorial Hospital on Ma7 27; the other �i - 2 - men , Steven L . Babel and Albert Oiaoda are reported to be re- oover1ng 1n good condition. A more thorough investigation will be made reg di ng this a ccid ent as soon .~ Kr . Babel and Mr. Omoda are suff1- · c1ently recovered to att· -nd an invest1gat1on . In the meantime the use of' the looomot1 ::- on this run has been discont i nued and a hoist put in opernt1on, due to excessive grades . Ong.inal Signed ...

As of this date, the other two men remain in a serious condition but are showing si~s of improvement and·we hnve hopes for their recovery. We pcraonolly investigated the accident on the morning of Uoy 25 after receipt of telephone call at approximately 7:00 A.ti. on that date advi1ing of the accident. �-2Our investigation clcvolop3d that ·i;h0 throe men v1ere assigned nork on the no .. 3 Shift reporting fN" VJOl"'k at; lli 30 '?.11. on ''icdnesday, ~!ay 24, and their shift scheduled to ond a'i:, 7 8 30 A.M. on liey 25.

'i'lie uere advised by the fire boss, Thomas l!illerl) tho.t due to tho oen not reporting at the nain pa.rting of No. 1 Slopa, r:o. 7 Seam, nt approximately 7:00 A.t. that he traveled into the main purl.in,g of No. 2 Slop3 location and found the three cars and locomotive derailed apprmd..ma·liely 75 feat fro:a the slopo s,·,itch; also that he f' ound l.:essrs.

One shoe or ekid was found in the center of the track approximatel,y 2,000 feet above �3the point of accident o observed. I1o othei" ov-idence of use of skids or· shoes rias ;ie therefore assune that, t,he rules governing the operation of the trip ·nere either not oboorvcd or tho shoe left the tJheel nnd rail du0 to excessive rate of speed 01. the ·Gz-ipo A check of the condition of ·e,!10 haulage locomotive was rrir.de immediately follo·r1ing the accident. The sanders nere full and oparating,; th0 mechanical brake and dynamic brake 20chanism 11ere also in good opera.ting condit,ion. We had hoped to ifain some further information from the injured ;:,;orknen, but due to their physical condition vie have been unable to secure ~rthine from this source. It is our opinion that tho accident was caused by violation of safety rule in employing shoes or skids to the descending trip. Due to the length of locomotive haul involved and the gradient, orders were issued on May 25 to discontinue the use of locomot,ive haulage and complete the hoist installation before ,axecuting any further devalop- ment work 1n this area.

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

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

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. 'fe would also have men who &re holding 1 jackpipes for the machine man to continue holding the pipe until it is tight. Clyde Rock James Law Joe Salvatico Andrew Spence Committee No. 5 We, Committee No. 5, considered the eye injuries.

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

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