SCRANTON MINE PICl{ANDS, MATHER & COMPANY HE FIRST presentation of a Sentinels of Safety trophy this year was made to Scranton Mine, operated by Pickands, Mather and Company, Hibbing, Minnesota, which won top place in the open-pit mines group with a record of 259,823 man-hours worked during the year 1939, ,vithout an accident. The presentation of the trophy was made on the night of June 21 at a banquet held at the Sons of Italy hall and was attended by more than 200 employes of Scranton Mine, officials of Pickands, Mather and Company, and their guests. T TROPHY PRESENTED BY J. J. FORBES FORBES, supervising engineer, Jthe• J.U.Sentinels S. Bureau of Mines, presented of Safety trophy to Mike Grecula, who accepted it on behalf of the employes of Scranton Mine. This presentation by Mr. Forbes was particularly appropriate since he was employed by Pickands, Mather and Company 24 years ago and at that time received his first incentive to engage in safety work. In his presentation speech, Mr. Forbes emphasized the necessity for first-aid instructions to provide a greater interest in safety work and the necessity of not becoming over-confident or careless as a result of the honors won. Mr. Grecula expressed his appreciation of the award and of the honor felt by the miners whom he represented. In their behalf,he thanked the officials of Pickands, Mather and Company for the interest in safety work which they maintained, making it possible for such records as this to be achieved. Telegrams were received from William Rose and J.C. Stennett, safety engineer of the National Safety Council, congratulating the Scranton Page 297 �l r- ~ r., ~~ included M. D .

Edward Leach, formerly of Hibbing, now residing in Duluth, praised the employes for their feat and expressed his hope that they would continue the good work. George Martinson, director of safety for Pickands, Mather and Company, a guest for the occasion, stated he knew the caliber of the men employed by the Scranton Mine and their interest in safety. He urged the older employes to encourage the younger men to follow closely in the lessons of safety and urged them not to quit since they had won the honors. "If you should happen to fall down, don't stay down-get up again and carry out the message of safety," stated Mr. Martinson. George Murphy, employe, told of the efforts the men put forth to acquire the interest in safety work, and Louis Micka, head of the Hibbing Safety Council, said the reason that the trophy was won was due to the cooperation of the company in providing every safety device and the ability of the men to follow instructions and carry out orders. Superintendent Fearing of the Scranton Mine, said he was both proud of and grateful for the honors that had come to the Scranton Mine-proud because the employes and employers displayed so much interest in safety work, and grateful to the operating company for the interest it has always shown in an active safety program. L. C. David, general superintendent of the mining department of Pickands, Mather and Company, gave an outline of the significance of the award, and Page 298 congratulated the employes of Scranton Mine on their performance. At this same ceremony, the J oseph A. Holmes safety award was made to the employes of Scranton Mine by F. S. Crawford, district engineer, U. S. Bureau of Mines, Duluth, Minnesota. Mr. Crawford gave a history of the Holmes award and a list of winners in previous years. The appreciation of the employes was expressed by Joseph Kiam, an employe of Scranton Mine, who spoke briefly on behalf of his fellow workers. Congratulations were offered by a number of the guests and other officials of Pickands, Mather and Company who were present for the occasion. These " To Th e Scranton "The Scranton Mine has at last come through And received recognition in safety that's due For working the entire year of '39 ·without a day's time lost at the mine In hours, happiness, or even pay So the 'Sentinels of Safety' is given this day As a symbol of honor and a record that's best In hours and exposure from all the rest Of the United States pits that are in line With a contest held by the Bureau of Mines. \,Ve salute you today for a record so fine And say, 'Keep It Up'-Scranton Mine!"

CASH nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company's No. 5 limestone mine at Muscoda, Alabama, for its winning record of 167,712 man-hours worked during 1939 without an accident. The presentation of the trophy to the employes of the mine was made at a ceremony on the afternoon of August 12 at the mine. Prior to the formal presentation speeches, the employes of the mine, officials of Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, and their guests congregated at the shaft, exchanged greetings, and enjoyed free cigars and soft drinks provided by the company. Ceremonies were opened by F. R. Birchfield, chief mine inspector, who acted as master of ceremonies. Ewing Carter, superintendent of Muscoda, congratulated his men on their splendid achievement in winning the Sentinels of Safety trophy for their excellent safety record during 1939. Miners were honored especially on this occasion by a speech from Robert Gregg, president of Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. Other speeches of congratulation and praise were made by E. M. Ball, general superintendent of all mines and quarries; J. A. Leonard, safety inspector; J. H. Hall, safety inspector; R. H. Bumgardner, manager of the safety and casualty bureau; C. E. Abbott, vice president in charge of raw materials; and E. J. McCrossin, chief of safety and inspection bureau, Department of Industrial Relations, State of Alabama. The presentation of the Sentinels of Safety trophy was made by R. W. McKee, manager, Hercules Powder Company, Birmingham, Alabama. Mr. _McKee reviewed the record of No. 5 limestone mine in past years. He gave a short resume of the significance of the Sentinels of Safety award and gave his hearty congratulations to the men whose sustained practice of safety had won them this honor. Frank Cash, district engineer, U. S. Bureau of Mines, presented certificates awarded by the Joseph A. Holmes Association to the employes at No. 5 limestone mine. Mr. Cash made the principal speech of the occasion, the text of which is as follows: "THE Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association, bearing the name of the first director of the United States Bureau of Mines, and being closely associated with that Federal Bureau, has had, since 1919, for one of its principal functions, recognition of safety accomplislunents of various kinds in connection with individuals, groups of individuals, departments, mines, plants, quarries, and industrial companies in the mining, petroleum, and allied industries. "These awards differ from those of the National Safety Competition, sponsored by THE EXPLOSIVES ENGINEER and conducted annually by the Bureau of Mines, in that the Safety Competition awards are, in the several groups, strictly on a competitive basis, while the Holmes awards are considered as individual cases of outstanding merit. "Individual awards may be made for courage or resourcefulness, but mine, OR plant, quarry, or company awards may be made on various bases, such as manhours of exposure without lost-time accidents, tons produced without fatalities, etc. All of these awards are based on the willingness of the company or individual to submit the experience for consideration. "In 1934, the ore-mining division of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company was awarded a Holmes certificate for opera ting without a fatality from October 28, 193 1, to March 6, 1933, during which period it produced 1,351,877 tons of ore and stone, and for operating without a fatali ty fro m March 8, 193:J, to Februar y 4, 1934, wi th a produ ction of 1,3 11,032 tons of ore and stone. "In 1939, an award was m~de to the Dolonah Quarry for operating fro m January 15, 1937, to February 6, 1939, and continuing, withou t a los t-time accident, working 458,624 man-hours and producing 1,030,259 tons of stone; and to No. 5 limestone mine for oper- Right: R.

Bureau of Mines, congratulates miners on their safety record. Page 299 �j The Explosives Engineer October, 1940 ating from April 6, 1935, to February 7, 1939, and continuing without a lost~ time accident, with 409,521 man-hours exposure and producing 517,509 tons of stone. "The Sentinels of Safety trophy has been awarded three times to No. 5 limestone mine in recent years; in 1939, there were 27 competing mines in the contest won by No. 5 limestone mine. "At the annual meeting of the Holmes Safety Association, held in Washington, D. C., April 16, 1940, after consideration of submitted experiences, 11 medals and 4 certificates were awarded to individuals for their efforts in saving lives; 126 certificates were issued to mining and petroleum companies, mines, plants, and quarries for good safety records; and 43 certificates were awarded to individuals for longtime employment in mining without an accident to themselves, or for skill in supervising the work of others. Fifteen of these awards came to our district, or the 8 Southeastern states; 9 came to Alabama; 5 of them to the oremining division of Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. "Congratulations to the ore and stone mining and quarrying division of Tennesse Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. "There is such an occurrence as an unavoidable accident, and there may be occasional "trade-risk" accidents, but they are few and far between. Though the injured person often is partly responsible for his injury, and sometimes entirely responsible, too often the responsibility is placed on the victim. "I am one of those who believe that accidents in the mining industry can and should be materially reduced. This can be done through scientific "job planning," adequate supervision, thorough training of employes, and the proper coordination of planning, supervision, and training. "The safety record that this meeting today recognizes certainly establishes the fact that an underground limestone mine can be operated safely. "Here are nearly 100 men who have worked in and around No. 5 limestone mine since April 5, 1935, more than 5 years, and who have mined approximately 700,000 tons of stone without a lost-time accident. This accomplishment has been nationally recognized by the J. A. Holmes Safety Association through a certificate of honor, which reads as follows: "For operating without a lost-time Page 300 accident from April 6, 1935, to Janu~ry 31 , 1940 (and continuing), employ~ng an average of 91 men and _p roducmg 535 , 1 79 tons of limestone m 685,9 12 man-hours of exposure (underground and surface).

Present at the dinner in a joint meeting with trophy winners will be members of Hudson Coal Company's safety key organization, consisting of about sixty mine foremen who have earned distinction for outstanding safety records at their operations, and whose organization has gained wide recognition for the excellent safety principles for which it stands. Present, also, for this occasion will be members of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, officials of the Pennsylvania State Department of Mines, officials of H ,/ Hudson Coal Company, and their guests. The Olyphant Shaft Mine (part of the Eddy Creek Colliery) was opened before the Civil 'War in 1860 and has been worked continuously since that time. Coal is worked from seven beds, which vary in thickness from tluee to nine ft. Employed in the mine today are 110 miners, 227 miners' laborers, u3 inside company men, 12 outside company men, and 11 officials-a total of 473 in all. The daily production is 500 mine cars of coal and 75 cars of rock - aggregating about 1, 300 market tons of coal.

However, plans are being made for this event at the close of the operating season, and it will probably take place sometime during the month of December. Inland Lime and Stone Company commemorated the winning of this trophy by the publication of an eightpage booklet, which gives the facts surrounding the operation during 1939 that culminated in the winning of this trophy. This booklet includes pictures of employes, an aerial view of its crushing plant, and a list of officials and employes. The booklet was bound in a handsome blue cover and entitled "Inland Safety Award-1939." A copy was presented to each employe, whose name was engraved in gold lettering on the cover. A few remarkable statistics about the safety record of Inland Lime and Stone Company are presented in this booklet. During the past nine years, a total of 83 months, or about 77% of all months T worked, have been operated without a lost-time injury. One, or more, disabling injuries occurred in each of the other 25 months. The number of manhours completed during months in which there were no lost-time accidents is 2,594,926. A total of 3,381,147 manhours has been operated, and the accident-frequency rate for this period is 10.944 per million man-hours and the severity rate is 7.251 per thousand man-hours for the same period. Operations were carried on at Port Inland from September i January 1, 1940, without~ injury, and a total of 93 4 hours was worked during this;,. ~ Mr. W. H.

BATES MI NE OPENE D IN 1915 r Ba te :Mine i located on th e western end of the Menominee Iron Range of the Lake Superior di strict. It is two miles from Iron River in Iron County, Michigan. The mine was first opened in 1910 and after considerable exploration and development work, first shipped ore in 1915. It has been a consistent shipper, and up to 1940 has shipped a total of 2,893,258 tons. It has been operated by the Hanna Iron Ore Company, a subsidiary of National Steel Corporation, since January 1, 1924. During 1939 the number of employes averaged one hundred men, which is approximately the average number employed during the life of the mine. Ore is mined from several ore bodies by the sub-level stoping method. These ore bodies stand nearly vertical and usually have black slate in both the foot and hanging walls. Because of the heavy surface overburden, which is in places 180 ft. deep and saturated with water, no stopes are caved from surface. The mine has reached a depth of 1,650 ft., from· which depth all ore is now being hoisted. Main levels are spaced 250 ft. apart. The first sub-level is driven in the ore 35 ft. above the main level. The interval between sub-levels is then cut to 27 ft. and the difference made up in the back pillar. This type of mining and the nature of the ore bodies in this mine have made every employe safety-conscious. Regular monthly safety meetings of all employes are held in the change house and at these meetings safety and efficiency are thoroughly and freely discussed. All safety methods or devices suggested by an employe or an outsider are given a trial, and once a device has been adopted the employes are diligent in its application. Well-trained crews for mine-rescue work are maintained, and regular training is carried on at regular intervals throughout the year. All employes have had first-aid training.

This is the fifth time tl1at this magnificent trophy has been won by a mine 0£ The Union Pacific Coal Company in the Nationar _Safety Competition, a nation-wide contest among bituminous-coal mines for outstanding records in safety. The presentation was made by Mr. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., vice president and general manager of The Hudson Coal Company, Scranton, Pennsylvania. One of the mines under his jurisdicton won the trophy in the anthracite-coal mining division in this same competition. T Celebration Broadcast Over Radio The stirring strains of bagpipes -u shered in the day's activities, and everyone was in a jovial mood. Rev. Albin Gnidovec delivered the invocation, after which everyone sat down to a splendid dinner. Following the dinner, the program of speeches was broadcast over radio station KVRS, Rock Springs, Mr. George B. Pryde acting as chairman of the meeting. Mr. Pryde's opening remarks were as follows: "Fellow employes of The Union Pacific Coal Company, and guests: "I am sure you are all very happy to be here today to participate in the ceremonies incident to the presentation of the safety award to No. 1 Mine, "\<\Tinton, 1vhich won the trophy last year. Someone said this morning that this had become an annual habit with The Union Pacific Coal Company. We .hope we will continue this habit, and that this lady and child, to whom we have become greatly attached, will stay with us. "It may interest you to know the years that the safety trophy has been ·won by Superior. For the year 1933 Superior "B" Mine won, with 187,888 man-hours worked without a lost-time injury; in 1934 Superior "C" Mine won, with 225,426 man-hours; in 1937 "D" Mine won, with 301,051 manhours; and in 1938 "B" Mine won again with_ 243,094 man-J10ur~. N~w, in 1939, Wmton No. 1 Mme wms with 277,139 man-hours worked without a lost-time injury. "Winton has been doing an especially good job. Going back to 1935, we had 18 injuries at Winton, with 33,590 Page 304 man-hours per injury; in 193G, 6 injuries and 103,900 man-hours per injury; in 1937, 3 injuries and 204,017 man-hours per injury; in 1938, 4 injuries and 141,174 man-hours per injury; and in 1939 only 2 injuries and 289,272 man-hours per injury in both mines there. That is an especially good record. Chief InsjJ eclor Congratulates Winners "Now we have a rather large program and we are going to move along with that. vVe have with us today a man who is vitally interested in safety. The very nature of his work makes him interested in safety work, and he is particularly interested in cutting down accidents, looking after the safety of men working in coal mines. I am going to call upon Mr. James Sampson, chief coal-mine inspector for the State of Wyoming." Mr. Sampson responded as follows: "Mr. Chairman, guests of The Union Pacific Coal Company, and winners of 'the award: "I give you my best wishes and sincere congratulations on your wonder- ;, ful achievement. Each and all ol .f . . .,_ I am sure, must feel an honest prid ' . ·-' having won this trophy, and more e~~~ cially so in the thought that ov.~ one , hundred other mines were in "'direct 'competition with yo u.

H ard ly :t clay goes by witho ut our reading of a mine's claiming a victirn . .But by thi accompli hmen t yo u point yery p lain l to the fact that accident are avoidable. "It will be of inter t to everyone present to know that there were 146 men killed in the coal mines of the United Sta tes during July, 19,10. The production of coal during this month amounted to 40,499,000 short tons, with a fatality rate of 3.60 per million short tons mined. It may also interest you to know that, from January to July, 875 men were killed, the fatality rate being 2.92. Seventeen of this number were killed in the antlu·acite mines of Pennsylvania, and I am very sorry to say that the State of Wyoming, in the same period of time, contributed five of this number. Forgetfulness, disobedience to orders, and violation of rules laid down by the various coal companies throughout the state were in most part responsible for this record. That the winners of this award were neither forgetful nor careless goes without saying. To the mine superintend- Cadwallader Evans, Jr., vice jnesiclent and general manager of Hudson Coal Company, presented the Sentinels of Safety trophy for bituminous coal mines to Eugene McAuli[fe, president of The Union Pacific Coal Company.

No Injuries for 2I .lvI.onths Mr. Pryde then called on Mr. R . R. Knill, safety engineer of The Union Pacific Coal Company, who ·works day in and day out to get results in the safety work. Mr. Knill spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman, guests, and may I say, honored guests, men of Winton No. 1 Mine: "It always makes a man feel good to finish a job and know that it is well done. It also makes him feel better to know that, in doing the job well, he has done it better than others who have tried to do the same thing. This is the task which the men of Winton No. 1 Mine performed in competition with 101 other mines, having ·w orked the entire year of 1939 without a lost-time injury, thereby winning the Sentinels of Safely trophy for bituminous-coal mines during the year 1939. However, vVinton No. 1 Mine's safety record dates back to more than one year, because this mine has a record of twentyone months without a disabling injury -from October 28, 1938, to July 29, 1940. "I wish to add my congratulations, not only to Mr. Hicks and Mr. Wilkes, but to every man who worked in No. 1 Mine, Winton, during the year 1939.-" History of the Competition Mr. Pryde called upon Theodore Marvin, editor of THE EXPLOSIVES ENGINEER, through whose generosity this trophy is made available. " Mr. Chairman and guests of the Union Pacific," said Mr. Marvin, "it is a great pleasure to come back here, especially on this occasion, which makes your fifth victory in winning our lady and the little child. I am very happy to extend to Winton No. 1 Mine our very, very sincere best wishes and congratulations to you for this outstanding victory. "You, here, have set a high standard. I remember in the initial years of this ;competition we wondered if a mine would ever go through a year without a lost-time accident. Many would wager great fortunes that that could not be accomplished, and yet you, along with a few other mines, have proved that it can be done. "] ust for the record, although I know you all have the facts, this competition for the trophy was started in 1925. ·when it started, something like two hundred mines were entered in the competition, while today the list is growing close to four hundred. In 1925 the record showed the average of the mining accidents of those in the competition to be about 100 accidents per million man-hours worked. In 1939, your year of victory, that had been reduced to an average of 36 accidents. In the bituminous-coal-mining division of this competition, the average of the lost-time accidents in the mines in the competition was just half the average of the accidents in the mines outside the competition. I want to stress that, because your mine has been entered in the competition and you have been competing. You have been just twice as safe as the average of the mines which have not been in competition, a fact which certainly indicates the value of Lr~!ng by hard wo~·k to improve safety. . No t con tent with that, you men of vVm ton No. 1 have not_just accepted th at average, you have wiped accidents out. I n so doing;, you are at the top, a t the pm nacle, of safe ty. You have set the standard. You send inspiration out Lhroughou t the whole minino- world like r ad io beams, to other m~n.

Your record has brought, and is brin aing hom e each night, in other town s, hi other mines. more men safely to their familie than wou ld have com e home safe ly without this record which you have set.

T he public knows of what you have done. To you go the laurels, but I also add you have the responsibility of keeping high the flag which you have set. Others need your example; may you always be successful. And again my congra tulations to you." Troph y Presented by Mr. Evans Mr. Pryde announced the presentation of the trophy, saying: "And now the presentation of the trophy: The one who will make the presentation address has also come a long distance, and we thank him very much for that. He is also interested in safety, doing a good job on his own properties, and is really interested in the safety of his employes. He is not a stranger here; he has been here before, and is familiar with our properties. I am going to call upon Mr. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., vice president and general manager of the Hudson Coal Company, to make the presentation address. Mr. Evans." Mr. Evans replied as follows: "Thank you, Mr. Pryde, and gentlemen. I have come a long way to make this talk. I regard it as a great honor to have been invited. Mr. Pryde has referred to my having been here before. I was here about ten years ago, and had a very enjoyable time, and I assure you I learned a lot of things which were afterwards of benefit to me and my company. "Something has been said about its being a long trip out here, and it is, but it is a trip I was very glad to make, because it gives me an opportunity of renewing my acquaintance with Mr. Pryde, with Mr. McAuliffe, and with you men. Page 305 �- The Explosives Engineer October, 1940 Inspiration of the Competit ion "The competition for the Sentinels of Safety is, of course, well known to you people, because you have been in it for at least ten years, probably longer, but I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the people who originated the idea, and who are represented by Mr. Marvin, who has just spoken to you. He edits an extremely interesting magazine called THE EXPLOSIVES ENGINEER. His organization is the sponsor of the idea of the Sentinels of Safety trophy. They provided the original trophy, which you see here, and each year they provide reproductions of it, which are given to the various mines and quarries that win the contest. It is an excellent idea for increasing interest in safety, and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to add my congratulations to Mr. Marvin and the company which he represents for its foresight in sponsoring the competition, and for the interest and enthusiasm of furthering it. "I do Hot know how widely THE ExPLOSIVES ENGINEER circulates out here, but if you are fortunate enough to see the July issue, you will find in it a full account of the whole scheme, with the record of much interest. "Mr. Marvin has cited some figures to show what that progress has been, but if you look at them closely, you will note the progress is larger in the prevention of slight injuries, as shown by the fact that the severity rates have been reduced a little, but not as much as the frequency rates. The anthracite group has the highest rate, and_ so should make the greatest reduct10n. Don't misunderstand me by citing those figures that the anthracite group has made more progress than the others have, because I do not believe that is true. It simply means that our starting record was worse, and we have further to go. "The unfortunate thing is that accidents still occur, and in recent years those that do occur have required more time for recovery of the men than in the earlier years. THE EXPLOSIVES ENGINEER, in commenting on this, says, and I quote from it, 'in any_ even_t the mining comj1any must consider its severity rate as well as its f re_quency rate in order lo obtain a full picture of the effectiveness of its accident-prevention program,' and with that sta~ement I heartily agree. And I quote 1t to you because all you who are thi1:kin~ about the future will have to bear m mmd the question of the severity as well as the frequency. "THE EXPLOSIVES ENGINEER is doing an excellent job in calling attention to these facts and sponsoring the competition. It certainly makes all of us en- Page 306 gaged in the mining indust1:Y more conscious of accident prevent10n and its value, and it gives me great pleasure to congratulate the officers of this company for introducing this contest and carrying it on, and express the hope that it will continue, and better records be made. And I am sure that better records will be made, as they have been during all the years the competition has been going on. Safety Program Explained "Now as to our safety program.

Thus, did Eugene McAulilie, president of The Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Wyoming, keynote the auspicious presentation of the Sentinels of Safety trophy to Olyphant Shaft Mine, Eddy Creek Colliery, Hudson Coal Company, on October 12. Ga thered together in Olypliant's high school auditorium were miner members and executives of the winning mine, representatives of the town government and civic groups, and many s1c1:e and United Stat es organization officials. The presentation marked the second winning of the National Safety Competition by a Hudson Coal Company mine. It also marked the second part of an outstanding cooperative presentation arrangement between Caclwal- With tributes from Eugene McAuliffe, Hudson Coal Company's safest miners receive trophy presentation honors lader Evans, Jr., vice president and general manager of Hudson, and Mr. McAuliffe of Union Pacific, Mr. Evans having journeyed to Rock Springs the previous month to award the bituminous trophy to one of Mr. McAuliffe"s mines. The presentation exercises commenced at two o'clock with John M. Reid, superintendent of Olyphant presiding. Fellowing Monsignor V.'. P. Kealy's invocation, Mr. Reid stated that he wasn't surprised to find that Olyphant had won this outstanding safety honor. This mine, he said, had made a habit of safety, having won the company's safety flag seven times, in itself an outstanding achievement for each flag symbolized company leadership for a three-months' period. Also, the mine has sixty-five Safety Key Men within its foreman ranks, and to be a key man at Hudson means that a sectional foreman, for instance, must keep his place clear of lost-time accidents for twelve months with a minimum shift count of 50,000 man-hours. Such safety consciousness, Mr. Reid explainctl, made it possiuie for Olyphant Shaft Mine to go 626,456 manhours of work without a fatality and only 27 disabling injuries resulting in 337 days of disability. Although the mine was not free of accidents, its accident-severity rate was lower than that of any other mine in the anthracite Page 365 �The Explosives Engineer December, 1940 group, and thus it was the winner in its class. SYl\lBOL OF LIVES SAVED ONTINUED Mr. Reid: "The Sentinels C of Safety trophy is a symbol of lives sa\'ed and injuries preyentecl, and winning the trophy is an achievement (or which you may indeed feel proud. The fact that you ha\'e "·on indicates that you men in Olyphant Shaft realize the importance of going about your daily work in a safe manner. lL shows that you have gi\'en thought not only to your own safety but LO the safety of your fellow workmen as "·ell."

He continued with: • "There are entered in this competition many mines in the anthracite region. Some are large and some are small, and since Olyphant Shaft is a large operation, yours is, to my way of thinking, a particularly fine achie\'ement, as it is much more difficult lo attain an outstanding record where there are a large number of employes.

And so, with the benediction of the Reverend Robert Hucke, of Olyphant Presbyterian Church, the miners of Hudson's Olyphant-with nationality roots in dozens of foreign lands-had paid to them the esteem and honor which their victory in saving lives and protecting their families had won for them. Part II l{EY MEN OF HUDSON o1.1.ow1NG the presentation ?f the Sentinels of Safety trophy m the F afternoon,The Hudson Coal Company Page 368 had yet another tribute to pay its safest men by holding the annual dinner for the members of its Safety Key Men. Organized in 1938, this annual banquet of Safety Key Men was the third to pay honor to those members of the company's official staff who had won their "keys" by leading the groups of men under them through a year of perfect safety. Eligible to this select organization are sectional foremen, firebosses, mine foremen, and superintendents. The banquet was held in the Scranton Club at seven o'clock. Approximately one hundred company officials and guests attended the dinner, at which eleven new members received the Safety Key and were admitted to the society. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., vice president and general manager of Little Ann Crowley, daughter of Sectional Foreman Crowley, who sang at the exercises, was cited by Mr. McAuliffe as a living example of the meaning of the "Sentinels of Safety" trophy. �The Explosives Engineer December, 1940 BEN EATH THE SURFACE (SONG COMPOSED ESP ECIALLY F OR HUDSON COAL COMPANY) Jl'e've bee11 working in t he coa l mine, digging anthracit P: We've been fi lling up the breakers, just to /weJi your h ome fires bright.

"Your sense of justice, sincerity of character, and broad human tolerance, we feel, will carry you on to greater things in the future. You have our sincere best wishes." Mr. McAuliffe thanked the men, ancl praised their efforts in achieving their goal. In describing safety activity at The Union Pacific Coal Company, Mr. McAuliffe told of the formation of the company and the discouraging conditions which were met in its infancy. Some of the first steps for improvement included the obtaining of adequate sources of water, development of electricity, improved housing, encouraging· pride in gardening, formation of Girl and Boy Scouts, first-aid teams, community clubs and community halls, installation of rock dusting and protective clothing for miners (hats, goggles, hard-toed shoes, protective gloves). Mr. McAuliffe established a book of standards and had rules for miners prepared and distributed. After spending S1,900,ooo from 1924 to 1934 in the interest of safety, results were very discouraging. Mr. McAuliffe then established the idea of an automobile lottery, in which miners became eligible for drawing by going through a year without a lost-time accident. This activated the marvelous safety progress which, from 1934, has been outstanding in the industry. thought was the Old Timers' organization, consisting of twenty-year men. Later, a recreation hall was built and named "Old Timers' Building." Theodore Marvin , editor of TH E ExrLOSIV ES ENGJN EER, was then called upon to address the group. Mr. Marvin said, in part: "It is onl y through an organi za tion such as yours and men like yo u that new, in vigorat ing ideas in advancing safety are born and tested.

"This is the second time that this beautiful bronze representation of a mother and her little child has been won by Hudson Coal Company men, the first award being made to the men of the company's Stillwater Mine at Vandling, in 1988. I hope that some of the men who worked in that mine in 1988 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. Unfortunately we are prone to leave to the mothers too many of the duties that we jointly owe our children, and they suffer accordingly. Page 370 "I wish to enlarge fol.' a mo• ment 011 the relation that exists between mine t1afety and mother• hood. The great majority of mothers are dependent on the earnings of the husband and father for the sustenance and education of their children, so I say that we who are husbands and fathers have the deepest kind of obligation; to think safety, to work safely, and, by keeping the home intact, make it possible for the mothers and young children to carry on as they should. "The sanctity of ~otherhood expressed through the mother of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a principle we all accept in our thinking moments. Unfortunately, however, we too often forget the responsibilities that rest on our shoulders in the matter of doing those things only that will build and strengthen our wives and our mothers in their battle for their children. " The last ment ioned is t he class who furnish the flesh and blood, and who with their famili es endure the suffering t hat follows every accident. I t 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 inheritance. The world has seen some glorious political leaders -kings, queens, emperors. It has also had its full share of murderous rulers who claimed to be the annointed of God. Too often they received their power from Satan. The common man and woman, and their children, were to them merely chattels or serfs-creatures 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 s~ml an<l spirit has largely been extinguished in the �01',l World. After more than nineteen ce~ries of the teachings of Christ, much of Europe and Asia is again in another Dark Age. "Here in Ameriea the <'0nunon man has yet freedom of soul, the right to vote for his t·hoiee of leadership and to worship God ai, he elects, be he Roman Catholic, Eastern Ortho d o x Catholic, Protestant, or Jew. He also has a full voice in the making of the laws that govern his affairs. and in establishing the conditions umler which he works, including hours and rates of pay. There is yet op• portunity in Ameriea for a workman to select his employer. i f J! t "May I say further, that there is a very definite obligation on the part of the workers to select for their own 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 advancement, by creating for themselves a 'nuisance value.' "May I say just a few words as to how we on our ·wyoming properties attained a production of 3,261,003 tons of coal from nine mines in 1939, with but 20 lost-time accidents, or 124,369 man-hours worked per accident; and in the first nine months of this year, a production of 2,523,361 tons, with 20 lost-time accidents or 127,582 manhours per accident. For fear that you may think that this performance was one easy of accomplishment, let me say that after the property, first opened up in 1868, had been in operation ,55 years, and with a rather strenuous effort to reduce accidents for the ten-year period, 1923 to 1932 inclusive, we were able to obtain but 15,931 man-hours of exposure per lost-time accident over these ten years. "What brought about our presentday improvement? There rests the very essence of every safety program. The dam broke about July 1, 1932, and as of that date every man on the property had solemnly decided to do his part toward accident prevention, and when New Year's Day came anc_l the record for the year 1932 was cast up, it was found that but one death had occurred in our mines with but 59 non-fatal accidents, and the man-hours per accident for the year rose to 43,452. By 1936, the men had the situation well in hand and the record really began t o climb. Let us look at it. Period 1936 1937 1938 1939 1940 (9 months) Man-hotu-s per accident 69,338 92,680 103,172 124,369 127,582 "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 safety-but 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. The Explosives Engineer December, 1940 the non-fatal 287, or a total of 303 losttime accidents in the production of 3,~!41,105 tons of coal, or 19,898 tons le~s than was produced in 1939 on the same property. ••'\'\'ha! we need is more €'rui;ading hloml-thc will to stop acddents, in I 1c J lines and on the highways. " The railroads and the great industrial plants have done their job. I s t he task wort h while? If you decide it is. you can likewise do the job. D on 't gd the impression that our t ask in the Hocky Mountain region is a cushy one for it is not. Our seams all pitch from 7 to ~2 degrees. We ha ve a multiplicity of faults, some gas, and lest you think our workers are all English-speaking, may I say that when I came to the property in 1923, we had 47 nationalities on the payroll, many non-English speaking. At the close of 1939, we still had 40 nationalities, and we have not found that our non-English speaking employes are behind in Safety. "How has this relation been build up? I confess that during my first ten years, I often despaired of trying to convince our employes that we really rnught a reduction in mine accidents except to reduce our workmen's compensation costs. "H I were a Goldier Heading a regiment iuto battle~ I would rathei' have 500 men ·who wcr erusade:r·s for the •ause than 2,500, wl10, :1hhough reckless 1mough ao take the punishmelllt~ lrnd no thought of the social and cconomfo suffering that incliffcr• ent t>oldiering on their p,ut en• tailed. "There used to be something closely akin to war in our mines,as for example, in 1923, the fatal accidents totalled 16, "Perhaps the thing that is most wrong with America is that we either insist on ignoring a bad condition entirely or else when we decide to cure it, we expect to get betterment over night. That has never been done. Human nature i ,s slo~ iof cbilii f "If you read your history you will conclude that the human race has Page 371 �The Explosives Engineer December, 1940 only seen betterment come slowly. The road . upward has always been a cruel, bitter, and hard one to travel. Bett~rments that ca.me too fast have usually been lost and when humanity slipped back, some man or woman with visi~m and courage has foreYer come into the picture to take leadership and to point the way upward. I know it is fashionable today to laugh at the cross with its lesson and its promises, but in the last analysis all the liberty that mankind now possesses came from God. , "The Godless cult that has spread death, devastation, and serfdom over much of the World will never succeed, and I have no hesitation in saying that much of the beuerment in accident reduction that we have at• tained, sprang from the words of encouragement expressed by our clergymen regardless of denomination, men such as those who represent your churches and who are with us today. "Perhaps one of the best examples of an attempt to improve a social con .. dition (and excessh·e accidents represent a social condition, and a bad one) was our attempt in l!Jl8 to save the nation and particularly our youth by the National Prohibition Act. What glamorous promises the proponents of this law gave us. I voted for it myselfand then what happened? Every corner of the nation had a still, and every third-rate hotel, and thousands of other places, openly violated the law, and youth went to fantastic ends tri show the government. The cause of temperance and youthful morals was set back twenty-five years. With this experience behind me, I hold to the belief that the powers vested in the Page 372 United States Bureau of Mines and the several State Coal Mine Inspection agencies, represent all the law help we need. Another law such as the Federal Mine Inspection Law now before Congress will only create friction and prejudice the cause of safety. Common honesty, and a will on the part of management and workers to work together, will eliminate more accidents than all the sumpt.uary 'don't' laws that can be written. The real problem of this country today lies in the fact that too many people want 'another law,' rather than to do the things that conscience and common sense should dictate. "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 genera.I manager, Ivir. 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. I also appreciate the great honor accorded me in appearing before the representatives of the churches in which you worship God, and I also think it a great privilege to appear before the representatives of your town government. When these gentlemen turn out to honor you they bring down honor on their own heads, for honest labor rests at the very root of all social prog~ess. I know also that the mine management are keenly interested in safety or else your record might not have been what it is. the mines and the quarries who ~e their lives and limbs to this insp'lring 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. "Years ago when Old Germany lived under a. milder and less despotic form of government, I read of one coal mine property where the men met together at the bottom of the shaft for a word of prayer before entering on their day' task. •••.•· Jths1LE: • i" , K. _; ~~ ... _, _.!. 1.~-...., ;, -,, - ••• :.:tild. --1,· _' - tJl.11.-,.Gl- ;.: :1 sr:~ ~...,,.,~"'~::_C. ,l_.,_, Oi'ilC~ fJ_.~ ci, ,1, ·}° 0 'No :r:;c, ~-,.,-,,.., Eo:e :fr<P;n p<'aye.excf:pi a;: .:;. :,:?.i.ier mimn,~ and so Jr think we wani more of ihe spirit of prayer i.o go forw:urd . I like to think that the millions of American men and women, who like myself were born in another country, appreciate the blessing that we, with our native born people, enjoy under a form of government, where a lawabiding person can yet say he is a free man or a free woman. "And now- Mr. Charlton, as mine foreman of Olyphant Shaft Mine on behalf of The Explosives Engineer and the United States Bureau of Mines, I present to you this lovely trophy, won by the per- "I also wish to say a word about THE sistent and conscientious efforts EXPLOSIVES ENGINEER, which inaugurated the Sentinels of Safety trophy for the six great branches of _the mining industry.

The weight of the standard size of drill is 264 lb. 4. EXTENSION RODS.-Five rods, 20 in., 40 in., 60 in., 80 in. and 100 in._ long respec~h·ely are used. The weight of a set is 115 lb. .These arc made of steel with symm~tncally conically turned ends. One _end fits the dnll clmcl~ and the other the c_uttm_g bit.

The compressed air which enters the cylmder d through ports_a 1 and c, drives the piston forward (as shown in section 1) or causes it to return (as shown :1 section 2).

HE " SISKOL " holds the wor~d's record for the grea~est number of h~ading~ cut in one shift, i.e., ten places, averaging 10 ft. by 5 ft., which was accomplished in a 9-hour shift at Mainsforth Colliery, Ferryhill, Co. Durham. ThlS work was done with the assistance of a carriage fitted to the machine (see illustration opposite). The machine was run up to the face of the heading and two chocks were placed underneath the carriage in order to lift the wheels off the floor. The column was then fastened, and when the cut was finished the column was slackened, the chocks removed from underneath the carriage, and the machine was then :eady to be :nn into t~e n_cxt ? e~ding without any of the parts having to be detached. In this way the time occupied in fhtting was reduced to a minimum. This carriage is a simple contrivance, can be fitted to any machine and, of course, can be arranged to suit any gauge of rails. The best work of a competitive machl?e, handled_b)'. the maker~' experts and '".orking under precisely similar conditions, was the cutting of five similar places in an 8-hour shift. T The certificate given by the Manager of the Colliery at the time is as follows :DEAR SIRS, THE CARLTON IRON Co., LTD., MAINSFORTH COLLIERY, FERRYHILL, Co. DURHAM. • I hereby certify that the above statement of cutting ten (10) places, comprising 506 square feet, under 9 hours, with your newest type of "Siskol" machine, is correct. F. J. H.

The Staveley Coal & Iron Co., Ltd., one f i "SISKOL" Coal-Cutter drove a heading 12 ft. wide in the Top Hard Seam, 4 ft. 3 ins. thick, a distance of 66 yards in one week. The previous rate of progress by hand was 12 to 15 yards per week. Many Colliery Managers are inclined to be dubious about this performance, but the following particulars as to how the work was done may possibly remove such misgivings. • It was desired to get a single heading through a pillar of coal with the utmost possible speed. The size of coal obtained was immaterial, speed being the one essential. The seam was 4 ft. 3 ins. thick and the heading 12 ft. wide. A time table was drawn up as follows :6 to 7 Cutting. 8.40 to, 9.40 Cutting. 11.20 to 12.20 Cutting. 7 to 7.10 Shot-firing. 9.40 to 9.50 Shot-firing. 12.20 to 12.30 Shot-firing. 7.10 to 8.40 Filling. 9.50 to 11.20 Filling. 12.30 to 2 Filling. Work was carried on 3 shifts in 24 hours and the same schedule adhered to during the shifts n \ THE "SISKOL" COAL-CUTTER. 10 \ \ ' commencing 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. The men engaged on the work at the face were a machine operator and his assistant, a ccllier and two fillers. A small branch from the main air pipe enabled a filkr to bore the shot holes whilst the Coal-Cutter was in operation, the collier and the other filler setting the necessary timber ·and keeping .the rails up to the face. Two sets of rails were maintained. The fillers had nothing to do but fill, an~ there was no wa.it~ng for_ tubs. If more than the _allotted time were occupied in filling-say 1t took 1 hour 40 mmu!es mst~ad _of the schedule time of 1 ~our 30 minutes- IO minutes was taken off the next cuttmg penod m order to adhere to the timetable. Vlhilst the coal was being filled the ma.chine men were keeping the pipe range in order. No ripping was done until the road was through the pillar. 11 �CHANNELLING MACHINES Lid [NTERNATION.Al lNTERNATlON.Al CHANNELLING MACHINES Z td. T MACHINES F OR uHOLING" ONLY.

T HE illustration on the opposite page sh0\V$ the "SISKOL" fixed for shearing or nicking. In seams where longwall machines are used a " SISKOL " with a shearing segment is very useful in making vertical cuts at regc1la_r distances along the face in order to reduce the number of shots required, at the same time facilitating the getting of the coal and increasing the percentage of large coal. To change from vertical to horizontal cutting, or in fact to any angle, it is only necessary to slacken the nut fastening the segment (shearing type) in the cone of the sleeve or clamp which is attached to the column. --------.J\-THE ".SISKOL'' COAL-Cl!TTER. 18 19 �iN7ER.NA'rlONAL CHANNELLING MACHINES Ltd. lNTERNA'rlONAl CHANNELLING MACHINES L-td.

It was found that, when "holing" in the bottom, the coal would not stan~ When a depth of about 2 ft. had been reached, the coal began to sag, and it was impossible to continue the cut.

STABLE HOLES FOR LONGWALL MACHINES. \ l 7HEN working Longwall it is usually an advantage-in fact, VV almost an essential-to keep the ends of the face in advance of the centre. When a Longwall machine is used and the stable holes for the machine are made by hand, it very frequently happens that the stable has not been made wide enough. The result is that t~e machine starts with a shallow cut, getting to its proper depth as 1t proceeds along the face. In this way the ends of the face soon get behind, and all Colliery Managers wi.1~ recognise the trouble that will ensue when the face assumes this concave shape. By using a,., SISKOL" for stable holes the face is kept in proper shape. THE "SISKOL'' COAL-CUTTER 24 25 �lNTERNAT'IONAl CHANNELLING MACHINES L:td l NTERNA'rlONAl CHANNELLING MACHINEJ' Ltd.

The 11lustrahon on the opposite page shows such a machine, which has been used successfully on a longwall face in a seam less than half a yard in thickness, with extremely gratifying results. Seven to eight yards can be holed at one fixing, after which it is an easy matter to flit the machine intact when fixed on a sledge or plate. In this way it is possible to hole a place 30 ·yards wide with four settings of the machine, and, as _only a few minutes are needed to loosen the column, flit the machme and reset, practically the whole of the shift can be occupied in cutting.

Tymawr Pit thr roof on the roads in one scam i,; ripped down without the a id of explo i\·e . The roof, which is a hard sandy fireclay, 4 ft. thick, is cut or sheared on each side of th e road by a ' Champion ' Channelling Machine. A hole.' is bored near tlw top of the bed and a long plug and feather is inserted and the mass is wedgt:d dmrn, the whole of the work being don e by th e machine, thus showing that the use of explosi\·es can be a\ oided in doing such work .

A clearance hole is provided in the arm of the quadrant through which passes the intermediate shaft connecting the motor with the gear box. The hinged sector is clarp.ped ·to the column, but as the arm is free to move, the operator by turning the handle on the end of the worm is able to impart the necessary radial motion to the frame of the machine.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ERECTING AND OPERATING THE "SISKOL" ELECTRIC HEADER. TYPE "B" ERECTING MACHINE. In erecting the supporting column of the machine in position it is necessary to use a wooden block underneath the base of the column and a hard wood block on the top of the screw head. If the floor is hard the wooden block between the base of the column and the floor need not be any thicker than 1 in., and need only be of medium hardness, but should be at least as broad as the base of the column. The block on the top of the column should be of hard wood and not less than 3 in. in thickness, otherwise there is danger of the block splitting. Before tightening up the screw, care should be taken to see that the base of the column is lying evenly on the wooden block ; which means the column must be at right angles to the floor. The position for fixing the column should be the middle of the heading and about 4ft. 6 in. back from the coal face. OILING. Before starting up the machine, care should always be taken to see that the gearbox is not less than half full of oil. Thin lubricating oil only should be used. If there is a leakage tighten the glands slightly. INTERNATIONAL CHANNELLING MACHINES Ltd. INSTRUCTIONS-continued OPERATING. The _operator ~rom his p~sitio~ behind the column should see that the machme · b · runs ·11 ·m · a clockwise . direction . • The angle of th e prongs on t he ~uttmg ~t w1 md1cate the direction of rotation. The extension rods should be msert:d m the. chuck and turned round against and under the head of the two faste~mg bolts ~n such a way that these bolts will prevent the extension rods from t~rnmg round_ m the chuck when the machine is cutting. These bolts should be ~ghten~d up m such a way as to secure the tapered end of the extension rod tightly mto_the chuck: Start up the machine and feed forward by means of the feed ha1:dle until the. cuttmg bit comes in contact with the coal at the nearest point. Swmg the machme _slowly across the face by means of the operating handle. At the end of each swmg advance the machine a suitable distance depending on the nature of the holing. By this means a continuous channel is made in the coal. When the machine has been advanced the full distance of the extension rod the ~ext longer rod is placed in position and fed in the same manner. This operation 1s repeated until the cut is the required depth. 17 16 �[NTERNATIONAL CHANNELLING MACHINES Ltd. lNTERNAT'IONAL . CHANNELLIN_G MACHINES Ltd.
