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.

Therefo re, I would suggest that you ask Mr . Murray, Mr. Hughe s and Mr . PeteI•nell to a ttend loc al staff meetings at all districts in an effort to work up some enthusiasm in our safety p rogram. You realize, of course, that it is easy to lose ground, but requires definite effort to regain lost ground . Vic~: ;' iF: -: ~.: \~T.

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. Outside foremen who have conducted their foremanship without a lost-time accident during the calendar years 1938, 1939, and 1940 will be eligible to membership in the society. Me1nbers qualifying n11der this section will be privileged both to hold office and to vote. 5.

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.

Brown and A. L. Talinferro, Rock Springs attorneys for the company; James Sampson, Wyoming state mine in~pector; E. H. Denny of the U. S. bureau of mines; James McKim and George G. 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 desi~n purports to r.epresent a key of one piece construction , thut is to say, the ends TI1ll be modelled tn th~ die, rather than applied and the back r'Jf: the key ,1ill be flat. Assuming that you wi=i.nt something of exce-ptionally good ouality, we hc>ve ::'igured upon the use of lOK go:i.d, at an estimated 3 dwt. eech, The price fi gures .. $3 ,44 per key so made, but 8t t~e outset there \'Jould bP. a die and cutter charge qmounting to .. $2?.50 . Because this item ~euresents the co s t of the direct labor and material without any 0verhead or profit, it is made with the understanding that the die re~ains at all times in our possession, but available for your exclusive use . That has an advant age, because should at any time the die become worn, or even broken, we agree tn reDair or replace it at our own ex~ense. Of course, \·Je h..~ve o":; r..er.quali ties, but 'Ne think it advisable to s~bmit this first for your cons1dP.rat1on before doin~ any more figuring-.

This article will outline Lhe organization, operation and objectives of the new plan. The continuing Lrend from soUd ruinul"' Lo pillar and caved-ground work i1as tended to increase mjury hazards in recent year s, highlighting the need for a helter method of combating them.

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. Come out and give us the benefit of your help in setting the coal industry further along the road of modernization.

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. But though the effectiveness of the program cannot yet be shown by figures the attitude of employees and non: member officials furnishes one means of gaging "its anticipated value.

Make Possible 13.2 T01n1s peir Marn lUJndJen-gir(Q)n.JJrnd I NING what is termed the Eagle seam in Logan County, West Virgi.rua, the Monitor Coal & Coke Co., Wilkinson, W. Va., now uses low-vein mobile loading machines to recover an average of 40 in. of coal under 9 to 15 in. of rash and 4 to 15 in. of drawslate. An average of 14 in. of these impurities must be handled by gobbing or loading out, and under these conditions performance per man employed undergro·und was 13.2 tons of coal per 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 · - .- . .

"This is the second time that this beautiful bronze representation of a mother and her little child has been awarded to Hudson Coal Company men, the first award made to the men of th~ company's Stillwater Mine at Vandling, in 1933. 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. In the Old World political leadership was at one time a matter of in- Award At Scranton, Pa heritance.

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. .. . ..

"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.

During the first nine months of 1940 there were 137 FATAL injuries in the ~mthracite Mining Indus try\} and 74 0 or a little over half of that number 0 were the result of roof fallso Di rect falls were res1)ons ible for 51 and indirect falls for 23 fa talities o Of ti1ese 74 fata l injuries 13 occurred in the Hudson Coal Company' s mines. \·/hat will the next three months show? This we do not know - but we do know that most roof fall injuries can be preventedo A few minutes time and thought and the necessary precaution is • all that is required. During the year 1938 over 05 9 000 man-days were lost due to injuries sustained by employees of our compa.nyo This resulted in a loss of ap~roximately $,425 9 000 in waITes. If for no other reason, we should all realize that an injury avoided or prevented means more earning-so While the monetary loss is something to think about it cannot be com~ared with the untold suffering and misery resulting from these injuries.

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.

In the following pages these questions have been answered in the light of the law under which the insurance is afforded. It is hoped that this pamphlet will give de- 1. Q. Wlzat is tlze FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION and lzow was it established? A. It is a Corporation created for the purpose of insuring bank deposits. It was established by an act of Congress approved June 16, 1933. 2. Q. Wlzo controls tlze Corporation? A. A board of directors of three members. Two are appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The other member is the Comptroller of the Currency, who serves ex officio. Not more than two directors can be from the same political party. posits of four banks which have been closed since 3. Q. Where are tlze offices of tlze Insurance Corporation? A. The main office is in Washington, D.C., and there are 15 district offices situated in various sections of the country. (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.

Kirk Baldwin. Attorney General Ray E . Lee this afternoon was drawing up 1 th~; papers in the case, Baldwin sa1a. The state will charge that the Blazon company h as t aken out of the state treasury $25 ,000 more than it has paid in to sa:tisfy compensation claims. The firm now is delinquent more than $4,000, Baldwin said, and efforts by the , state to collect have been unavailing. • Last week there was a fatality , in the mines of the company in western Wyoming. Settlement of .this suit alone may involve cost I: to the state's compensation fund s of about $4,000, Baldwin said. Action against the Blazon com- I: pa,ny is in line with the policy of r .the state's compensation depart- t ment to compel 11,ll firms in Wyo- t 1 ming to "get square" with this l bureau and to keep up with their t payments in the _fut~e. __ ~ ~ �Blazon Company May Be Heavily Penalized if State Wins Suit Steps for filing suit against a large coal company charged with evasion of compensation fund payments to the state were taken today when the attorney general's office was asked to take action against the Blazon Coal Company 1of Kemmerer, I The move came following warnings sent out to delinquent industries and other concerns coming under compensation department regulations of the state treasurer's office. Charge that the Blazon Company, a Utah concern, owes the state $4,000 in payments to the compensation fund, t-hat it has not contributed anything since early . last year and disregarded an agreement made in 1933 to make monthly payments that; would have satisfied the state's demands, are being filed by the treasurer's office. . If the state wins the action it is expected that it will cost the company at least $9,000. In addition to having to pay the $4,000 it is now said to be in arrears, the firm would be assessed a penalty, which will double the amount. In addition disregard of the state law calls for a fine of $500. Added to these sums would be costs of the suit and the company's own at• torney fees. State TreClSUrer J. Kirk Bald• :win authorized direct action against the company following a conference here two days ago with Clair M. Senior of Salt Lake City, attorney for the Blazon Co. He said the company gave no assurance that it would pay up. During the time it has fallen behind in its monthly payments to the state compensation fund, the Blazon co. has d1·awn out $20,000 more than it has paid in to meet accident demands, records in the treasurer's office show. Papers in the suit were being drawn up today bY tho attorney general's office. The Blazon co. has a monthly payroll of $11,000, the state treas• urer's office said their figures showed today. Duplicates of the pay roll are sent in regularly to qualify employes of the concern for compensation in the event of disability. _ L _ �I j 0( l/ ~ ~ ~ j ~ ~ ~ ~ij~ ~ij~~EN~~ l~~N: Aggressive action against busi1ness firms and industries of the state that have not been meeting, their ·compensation payments has : resulted i'n more than 100 com, panies "coming into the fold" this ' month. Receipts by the compensation· ' department last month increased1 ' $13,000 above the immediately preceding 30-day- perrod. Recent di• rect action against a large com- ' pany that was $4,000 in arrears and a vigorous drive throughout the state has brought still bigger increases · this month. Business firms of the state are requh'ed to pay a percentage of their payrolls into the state's compensation bureau in order to provide a fund from which workmen , are given compensation in the I event of accident. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
