A number of _dr.i.11.ing accidents were -traceable to bi.ta catching in clothing indicating carelessnes~. Many of the ratchet accidents were due to striking the solid face uith duckbills, causing handle to kick. llore ca.re and caution should be exercised \Uth respect to handling of ratchets uith special. instructions to green men. Accidents due to men striking each other with hand tools, dropping t.ools on feet, pinching fingers and hands between tools, and props, are primarily" due to carelessness and can only be eliminated by the individuals involved.

Charter members of Chapter No. I, Sigma Tau Epsilon, Rock Spring s, Wyo. ·y lEllER T HE Union Pacific Coal Company established 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 GreekLettei: 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 19 3 8, 19 39, and 1940, while the bituminous mines in the United States as a whole developed an average of only 15,000 man hours of exposure to each lost-time accident in the same period. Prior to the inception of the company's intensive accident-prevention campaign, the accident toll in its mines was comparable to that of the country as a whole. The new society, known as Sigma Tau Epsilon, came into existence with 45 charter members, the major number of whom qualified for membership by carrying the mine workers under their supervision for three successive calendar years without a lost-time accident. The organization will be maintained on a definitely democratic basis.

Fittingly, for its mines have captured the Sentinels of Safety trophy on five separate occasions, The Union Pacific Coal Company and its president, Eugene McAuliffe, an indefatigable worker in the cause of mine safety, become the sponsors of the new society. The fraternity's charter specifically bars company executives from membership. The initial meeting of the fraternity held on the evening of February 27, was addressed by Eugene McAuliffe, president, I. N. Bayless, general manager, George B. Pryde, vice president, and R. R. Knill, safety engineer, all 0£ Tl1e Union Pacific Coal Company; also James Sampson, Wyoming State Coal Mines inspector, E. H. Denny of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, and others. Forty-three foremen and superintendents of the company's mines qualified for charter membership in the fraternity. Of this number, by far the majority are unit or outside foremen, who have won this honor by reason of having carried the men under their supervision for three years or longer without a single lost-time accident. These men are the backbone of the successful practice of safety by the company organization. By the same token they will form the core of the fraternity's membership and, by the exclusive privileges of voting and holding office, will guide its course and conduct its affairs. Mine foremen having local charge of any mine which has won or in the future may win the Sentinels of Safety trophy, or in which no lost-time accident has been recorded for one calendar year, are als~ eligible_ for membership b:1t have neither votmg nor office- holding rights. Mine superintendents in general charge of any mine winning the Sentinels of Safety trophy will automaticall) qualify for membership, but a rc likewise barred from voting or holding office. Foremen who subsequ ently advance to higher positions forfeit their voting privileges but retain membership. There will be no honorary members. Thus the principle of maintaining the fraternity on a th oroughly democratic basis is establi shed and implemented. Regular meetings of the fraternity will be h eld quarterly, in addition to which there will be special meetings called by the president whose duty it is to arrange suitable programs for the meetings. No dues are to be collected from any member, and no expenses may be incurred without the approval of the general management of The Union Pacific Coal Company. Committees on safe practice recommendations, appointed by the president at the first quarterly meeting of each year, will study accident prevention methods and submit reports to meetings. Approved reports will be We sl,a ll be glad to be of service to those intereste~ in obtaining furth er information on Sigma Tau Epsi/01!. Letters on the subject will be brought to the attention of tl,e sponsors of the movement. passed on to the company's safety engineer for considerati on of the management. The underlying purpose of the fraternity, to co ntribute to the advancement of safety, is perhaps best su mmed up in the by-law which outlines the function s of the committees: "It will be unders tood that the real work of the several committees is to observe bad practice, making recommendations regarding same, t1rns ant icipati ng and attempting to prevent accidents." The emblem o( the fraternity, to be donated by The Un ion Pacific Coal Company, wi ll be a h and ·ome key, engraved with the member' , name and year of election . In commenting on th e n ew fraLernity, Mr. McAuliffe paid u-ibute to the special safety society of Lh e Hudson Coal Company, organized to function locally under the name "Safety Key Men." Sigma Tau Epsilon, the new fraternity, is the first Greek-letter mine safety fraternity to be established in connection with any branch of the mining industry in any part of the world.

They gather their informati0n for these bulletins by reviewing the reports of all accidents of their particular classification and a:so by investigating the current eccidents of the seme class which resulted in fatal injuries. 11 �Sufficient copie s of the l i st of commit t ees, with names, etc., should be prepe r ed for the i niti al use of the President so that he can make the appo i nt ments at the organization meeting 0 We should a.lso h a~re mimeogr aphed copies of the regula tion s published on pages 62 and 63 of the February issue of the Employe s ' Magazine, so that t he mJ et i ng will have something t o wo r k from , kee~ing _in mind that it is .the privilege of the Society to am end the rules where ne c essary to do so providing they kee_p\within t h e salient organizf.tio n p P incipl es 9 Please discuss this with W.ir.

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

It ,,ould. s eem to me the first thing to develop a t each di s trict is \·iho is eligible, and we should go back over our records in order to develop the number of yea rs we· should set up for the different foremen, also the drc..ft of the committees we should hi;.ve. I wish you would handle this, so that we will ha v e some dat a to present to Mr. N.cAuliffe when he is next out here, which will be vii thin the next week or ten days. �410-05 Omaha - November 5, 1940 Mr. G. B. Pryde: Herewith two copies of statement given me by Mr. Evans on The Hudson Coal Comp!:l.ny' s ''Safety Key Iv:en." You viill note the membership is restricted to Foremen~ the iviine Foreman the highest official eligible, I wish you \vould undertake to do some preliminary wo rk on those who are eli~ible on our p roperties. After establishinb th e positions which are eligible, see how f a r back the list can be carried in order t o start out with a fair viorking membersliip, You mi ght find it desirable to require, for examp le, a Unit Foreman to carry a clear section for two, three, or more years, depending on v:hat your records d ev elop. In the case of the Mine Foreman, who is responsible fer all men employed inside and outside, I think one year should be sufficient, It mi ght be advisable ·to require the Outside Foreman to show two or mor years freedom from accident. I have a line on the cost and manufacture of the S1:J.fety Keys, and when we have an opportunity, I would like to help work out the details of the organization, which I think will prove of great value.

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

Their acquaintance and intimate association make for the close-knit industry personnel which is all essential in the cooperative efforts required in meeting harassing economic and operating difficulties. • The 1940 Coal Convention and Exposition promises to take its rightful place in the ascending order of these vital industry events. With the uncertainties facing the industry and the ever pressing question of successfully meeting the competition of other fuels, every operating man in the country should attend this meeting to devote serious study to means for the betterment of the industry. I sin~erely hope that every coal executive will attend, together with as many of his operating officials and key men as possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

McComas, Reliance Andy Blahota, Winton Roman Larrabaster, Winton Sa£ety Council Lists Rules for Sane Winter Driving WITH the probability that fatal accidents on FACED highways will increase by as much as 40 per cent during the winter months ahead, the National Safety Council recently issued a bulletin describing the hazards of winter driving and outlining methods of avoiding them. Part of the information in the pamphl et was gleaned from more than 3,000 individual tests conducted by the winter driving hazards committee of the council. The tests were made on the frozen surface of Lake Cadillac, Cadillac, Mich., last February. Accident statistics and studies of winter driving conditions from more than a score of states supplied the other data incorporated in the bulletin. Members of the committee cited slippery pavements and longer hours of darkness as the two major causes of increased accident rates in winter. Statistics showed that 50 per cent of the ac·cidents, which occurred on snowy and icy roads, are caused by skidding. On dry roads skidding accounts for only 1 per cent of the accidents. On the basis of these tests and other information collected, the committee issued a list of rules for safe winter driving. These follow: 1. Investigate road and weather conditions before starting trips. Postpone or interrupt trips when conditions are unfavorable. 2. Keep the load of the vehicle equalized as much as possible. 3. Keep the windshield and windows dear of outside snow and ice, and inside fog and frost. Lower side windows if necessary to maintain side vision. 4-. Warm your motor before driving to avoid stalling in traffic. 5. When driving at night be particularly careful in the use of the "country" beam to avoid blinding approaching motorists.

Editor of The Explo: swes Engineer, published by the Hercules Powder Company, the company that inauaurated the Sentinels of Safety tropl;y for the° six great branches of the mining industry. A gentle, kind. ly and gracious gentleman, he, with his six little bronze mothers and their children. his company, and the United States Burea~ of Mines that supervises the awards, are doing a splendid work, one of growing understanding and importance. Throughout the nation there are many men coming home daily from the mines and the quarries who owe their lives and limbs to this inspiring movement. Since the inception of this splendid work in 1925, no less than 77 separate presentations of the trophy have been made to 77 groups of men. Honest competition is the life of all progress and this competition is conducted along high lines. Mr. Marvin, we are all deeply indebted to you." The second meeting of the day, in the form of a dinner given by The Hudson Coal Company to its "Safety Key Men," was held at the Scranton Club at 7 :00 P. M.; some 65 operating officials who had been presented with the company's gold Safety Key emblem were present, together with a number of the company's operating officials and guests, Mr. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., acting as toastmaster. After dinner, those present indulged in a period of singing popular songs, a number of Welsh voices adding tone and volume to the impromptu concert, Mr. McAuliffe again addressing the meeting on how to obtain the maximum measure of mine safety; altogether the event was a most momentous one. At the conclusion of the meeting, eleven new winners of the Safety Key received the emblem which has, on The Hudson Coal Company property, become a real token of superior leadership in the work of reducing mine accidents. / / Winter Driving Rules (Continued /rom page 487) passing beam. Watch for pedestrians. Drive at reduced speeds. 6. Use a high grade of sun glasses ·to · prevent • blindness due to snow glare. 7. Have your car checked for all exhaiist leaks. Keep fresh air circulating so that you will not be poisoned by carbon monoxide. 489 8. Use hand signals every time you turn or stop. When traction is poor it is important to give those behind you plenty of warning of your intended maneuvers. 9. Keep a steady foot on the accelerator. Do not try to start, stop, or accelerate quickly. On slippery surfaces start in second gear. 10. Apply chains on snowy and icy roads. 11. Try to keep out of ruts in snow and ice. If you slip into them, reduce speed immediatel y, so that you can pull out safely or proceed without danger of upsetting. 12. Avoid slippery hills and steep grades if possible. If you must pass over them apply chai n and drive in second gear. " Taking a run" for a slippery hill is a dangerous practice.

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

Direct falls were responsible for 51 and indirect falls for 23 fatalities. Of tr1ese 74 fatal injuries 13 occurred in the Hudson Coal Company's mines. What will the next three months show? This we do not know - but we do know that most roof fall injuries can be prevented. A few minutes time and thought and the necessary precaution is all tha t is required. Durins- the year 1938 over 85 9 000 man-days were lost due to injuries sustained by employees of our company. This resulted in a loss of approximately $,425p000 in wages. If for no other reason 9 we should all realize that an injury avoided or prevented means more earninss. While the monetary loss is something to think about it cannot be compared with the untold suffering and misery resulting from these injuries. ~ranspo~tation injuries are all too numerous. !den engaged in this work are constantly reminded about working safely. Instructions and safety rules to cover all classes of transportation are in effect but too often they are forgotten. Forgatten until a missing member or other injuries serves as a reminder. It is too late then. • i';e should all realize that safety bulletins are for our protection and benefit. It is only by constant thought and vigilance that injuries can be prevented. -By Jack Hodgsonp Miles Slope. �12 NATIONAL SA.EETY CONGRESS 1940 The Hudson Coal Company was we 11 represented at the National $afety Congress held in Chicago, Ill., from October 7th to ll th. The mining sessions was attended by Cadwallader ~vans Jr., Vice-Presiaent and General Manager 9 and h; was honored by being e1ected chairman of the ~ining 0ection for 1941. Carl Peterson, ~afety Ins]:iector, and Robert Von ~torch, Ventilation Inspector, at te:1 uea as representatives of the Safety I;epartment. ',;,'he other mambers of the party included Karl Ru~hes, Superintendent of 11arvine, John Davison, tline Foreman at Gravity Slope, Henry Null and Jackson McKinley, sectional Foreme·n at ~arvine ar..<l Bddy Creek, respectively, were awarde<.i the trip in recognition of their having held the best safety records in their respective positions for tne year September 1939 to September 1940u Leaving ~unday afternoon the party traveled over the D. L. CG ',V. anti Nici<:el Plate arriving in Chicago on ffionday morning. The flat corn-growing prairies of the middle west, so difterent from our Pennsylvania hills, were scenes of interest to the group ad<.iing an unanticipated delight to the trip. The Stevens Hotel 9 which housed the Congress 9 is the largest in the world and it was entirely possible for a delegate to attend all meetings as well as find all of the necessities and amusements within the hotel portalso for example, he had the choice of six restaurants, all of ample size to acconmodate their diners and all available without leaving the building. When it is considered tnat over 10,000 persons attended the Congress and that the hotel had its �13 regular customers to care for and that uncomfortable crowding was not noticeable, some idea of its size may be formed. In audition to the convention meetings, an exposition which included safety exhibits from many manufacturing companies was held in the mammoth basement of the hostelry. This alone createu much absorbing interest among the members of the Congress. ~ost interesting to the Hudson Coal Company delegation were the sessions of the Mining Section. At these meetings s~ecialists in Mine Safety reaci papers expressing their views and findings over many years of experience. The spei;Jkers were drawn from various kino.s of mining and from various sections of the country. This added to the interest of t 11e listeners. Tne attending delegates liitewise represented many fields and many types of mining and this was a basis tor many interesting private conversation~ ~he largest single delegation was tlli:it of the Koppers Coal Company. jecona largest was that of tne Hudson Coal Company. Present in smaller groups were men from the bituminous fie las of Pennsylvania, '; /est Virginia Kentucky anci the wast; from ore mines in Michigan, 'Wisconsin and Minnesota; from zinc mines; from gold mines; from copper mines and one speaker announced himself from the world's largest asbestos mine in Canada. Besides, there were men revresenting the Bureau of Mines as well as from compa.TJies supplying mine safety equipment. 9 Among the p~pers presented to tne ~lining Section was one entitled ''What an A11thracite Safety Inspector Looks For'' 9 very ably delivered by Carl Peterson of our Safety Department.

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

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.

If so, should not his name be shown in your let- ter of November 29th, listing lost-time injuries during the month of November? Also, if this is to be included among our lost-time accidents for this year, it would seem to be necessary to renumber the accidents ooourrtng since that date.

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. 't'Te feel that the injuries reported, could be avoided some by the worlr..man being a little more careful in handling material and by wearing his ~OGgles closer to his eyes except where men are sharpening drill bits. u'!," reccITUncnc that tJ-,ey use enclosed goggles. Ben Dona Carl Nelson Ben Caine Committee No. 6 'Ne 1 Committee No. 6, bOinb over electrical injuries find that quite a number is caused through carelessnesu of men in pilllinf IT~chine cable while holding same at splice and failure to disconnect light lines before replacing globes. We recommend that men disconnect light line, remove trolley pole cff wire and when pulling machine cable p,ull below splice or replace with new cable. A. M. Strannigan Chairman Committee No. 7 '.lfe, Committee No. 7, recomr.iend that all machine men while operating cutting machines should at all times have the bit clutch out while doing work around the machine especially when changing bits under a cut. here v,here a man was changing bits under the cut. 1~e have a report ''Thile he was changing hits another man turned on the controller catching the man's hand. This should be �stopped and only the machine runner turn on controller. Committee No. 8 Concerning case of tipple cleaner a~ Reliance, age 71, recommend that men of this age be kept away from moving machinery, or said machinery be shut off while it is being cleaned. Thomas Lucas w. H. Buchanan Joe Gornik Committee No, 9 ' 1.!e, Cuiiliilittee No. 9, recommend that at all safety meetings the matter of haste and carelessness be discussed tp eliminate injury to workers in getting on and off mantrips. Recommend better housekeeping be stressed and discussion of workers placing their feet in walking and getting ready for various work. Recommend that more attention be stress~d to trimming of roof, faces and ribs in all places to eliminate falling coal thereby adding to the necessary testing of places. R~commend that workers be cautioned in wearing oversize and clothes with holes in them, Albert Curle Primo Gatti John J. Balog Rudolph Battisti J. Reuter Committee No. 10 Hernias reported 10: Recommend that we have a more rigid physical examination of all new employes and workmen properly instructed in regard to lifting material. ?L..ntrip !.,Juries reported 2: Recommend that all employes be instructed to stay on mantrips and not jump off, until mantrip comes to a complete or full atop. Jtl.so that closer supervision be given to all mantripe �f' in regard to dai~y inspection~ of equipment and over crowding of cars. Acid Burns reported 4: Recommend that printed instructions be posted at lamp house in use and care of lamps used by employes. Recommend that lamps are properly serviced by lamp men. Falling material reported 3: Timber being knocked out by Duckbill. 1!Je recommend that all Duckbill Operators be instructed to observe more closely the surroundings in which the Duckbill is being operated in regards to close timber. Also the position of facemen in close vicinity of Duckbill while Duckbill is engaged in the operation of loading coal. Charles Grosso Hm.

'!e wouJd also 11 have men who c:.re holding 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. t'le feel that the injuries reported, could be avoided some by the wor~~an being a little more careful in handling material and by wearing his g~~gles closer to his eyes except where men are sharpening drill bit9. 1:,_r.--. reccmn1;;;nc t !:at they use enclosed goggles. Ben Dona Carl Nelson Ben Caine Committee No. 6 We, Committee No. 6, going over electrical injuries find that quite a number is caused through carelessness of men in p'tl.line: 1rachine C!'ible while holding same at splice and failure to disconnect light lines before replacing globes. We recol1ll:lend that men disconnect light line, remove trolley pole off wire and when pulling machine cable pull below splice or replace with new cable. A. M. Strannigan Chairman Committee No. 7 .,re, Committee No. 7, recommend that all machine men while operating 1 cutting machines should at all times have the bit clutch out while doing work around the machine esnecially when changing bits under a cut. here v,here a man was changing bits under the cut. We have a report l'Thile he was changing bits another man turned on the controller catching the man 1 s hand. This should be �stopped and only the machine runner turn on controller. Committee No. 8 Concerning case of tipple cleaner at Reliance, age 71, recommend that men of this age be kept away from moving machinery, or said machinery be shut off while it is being cleaned. Thomas Lucas 1N. H. Buchanan Joe Gornik Committee No. 9 T,' Je, Com,.dttee No. 9, recommend that at all safety meetings the matter of haste and carelessness be discussed to eliminate injury to workers in getting on and off mantrips. Recommend better housekeeping be stressed and discussion of workers placing their feet in walking and getting ready for various work. Recommend that more attention be stressed to trimming of roof, faces and ribs in all places to eliminate falling coal thereby adding to the necessary testing of places. R~commend that workers be cautioned in wearing oversize and clothes with holes in them. Albert Curle Primo Gatti John J. Balog Rudolph Battisti J. Reuter Committee No. 10 H&rnias reported 10: Recommend that we have a more rigid physical examination of all new employes and workmen properly instructed in regard to li.t'ting material . .M..ntrip I,;Juries reported 2: Recommend that all employes be instructed to stay on mantrips and not jump off; until mantrip comes to a complete or full stop. ~i~o that closer supervision be given to all mantrips �~ in regard to daily inspections of equipment and over crowding of cars. Acid Burns reported 4: Recommend that printed instructions be posted at lamp house in use and care of lamps used by employes. Recommend that lamps are properly serviced by lamp men. Falling material reported 3: Timber being knocked out by Duckbill. 'l.'J'e recommend that all Duckbill Operators be instructed to. observe more closely the surroundings in which the Duckbill is being operated in regards to close timber. Also the position of facemen in close vicinity of Duckbill while Duckbill is engaged in the operation of loading coal. Charles Grosso Wm. Wilkes V.

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.

His total length of service is approximately l month ancl. 2 weeks. Ur. Smith expired at the Memorial Hospital of ST;eet,,-ater County on ?!.ay Z1, 1950. 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.

Tt10 r,100.ns of transportation was an 8-ton h~ulaga locomotive and three pit, cars, it being necessary to ascend a nor;r~l 7% ge.dient i;-iith this equipmento .l\ft,Jr unloading the equip:nent at the hoist room, the men cleaned the slope and rookdusted same irraediately below the hoist roooi uhich is approxim_stely 1,.,000 feet above the i!l.3.in entry pc.r~ing. 'i'lie uere advised by the fire boss, Thomas l!illerl) tho.t due to tho oen not reporting at the nain pa.rting of No. 1 Slopa, r:o. 7 Seam, nt approximately 7:00 A.t. that he traveled into the main purl.in,g of No. 2 Slop3 location and found the three cars and locomotive derailed apprmd..ma·liely 75 feat fro:a the slopo s,·,itch; also that he f' ound l.:essrs. Snit.h 3 Br.hel and Omoda tlong the low rib at the pillar point in e.. semi-conscious condition and it ~as hi.a opinion that they \'lore thrO\"m i'ro:n the trip due to same being out of control nnd d.erallcc:l upon entering the r,:,n.in pn.rtine snitch. The lunch buckets of tho three men \"Tero found at tho scene of tho • accident and all indicntiona nre to the effect that they were leaving their working place ancl using tho locomotive and three cars as .rn.eans of transportetion to the no. 2 3lopo Unin Parting et the time or the P..ccidcnt. \'le there- fore conclude thot tho occident occurred at the end of the t'lorking shitt • The rules governing the operation of the motor trip at this location require the uee of t,10 shoes or ekide on the pit cors. One shoe or ekid was found in the center of the track approximatel,y 2,000 feet above �3the point of accident o observed. I1o othei" ov-idence of use of skids or· shoes rias ;ie therefore assune that, t,he rules governing the operation of the trip ·nere either not oboorvcd or tho shoe left the tJheel nnd rail du0 to excessive rate of speed 01. the ·Gz-ipo A check of the condition of ·e,!10 haulage locomotive was rrir.de immediately follo·r1ing the accident. The sanders nere full and oparating,; th0 mechanical brake and dynamic brake 20chanism 11ere also in good opera.ting condit,ion. We had hoped to ifain some further information from the injured ;:,;orknen, but due to their physical condition vie have been unable to secure ~rthine from this source. It is our opinion that tho accident was caused by violation of safety rule in employing shoes or skids to the descending trip. Due to the length of locomotive haul involved and the gradient, orders were issued on May 25 to discontinue the use of locomot,ive haulage and complete the hoist installation before ,axecuting any further devalop- ment work 1n this area.

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

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