HE Union Pacific Coal Company Testablished a new milestone in coalmine accident prevention on the evening of February 27, when there was organized under the auspices of the company at Rock Springs, Wyo., Chapter No. 1 of the first GreekLetter: Mine Safety Society established in connection with any branch of the mining industry in any part of the world. The Union Pacific Coal Company enjoys an enviable mine-accident record, suffering one lost-time accident in its nine Wyoming mines for each 114,700 man hours of exposure during the three calendar years 1938, 1939, and 1940, while the bituminous mines in the United States as a whole developed an average of only 15,000 man hours of exposure· to each lost-time accident in the same period. Prior to the inception of the company's intensive accident-prevention campaign, the accident toll in its mines was comparable to that of the country as a whole. The new society, known as Sigma Tau Epsilon, came into existence with 45 charter members, the major number of whom qualified for membership by carrying the mine workers under their supervision for three successive calendar years without a lost-time accident. The organizat ion will be maintained on a definitely democratic basis.

No honorary memberships will at any time be accorded higher staff officials. While the original chapter will be confined to the mines of the Union Pacific Coal Company, any other mining company, coal or metal, which wishes to organize a chapter along similar lines will be privileged to do so, making full use of the society's name, by-laws, etc., which can be amended to meet varying conditions. Qualifications for Membership as Adopted in Forming Chapter No. I The membership in Sigma Tau Epsilon will be restricted to supervisory officials, who have attained a commendable standard of safety in the conduct of their work. The officials eligible for membership are: 1. Mine superintendents who were in general charge of any certain mine which has won or in the future may win the Sentinels of Safety trophy.

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

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

I I I Give DJnner The unusual honor society was organized at a safety dinner Thursday evening with I. N.

Brown and A. L. Talinferro, Rock Springs attorneys for the company; James Sampson, Wyoming state mine in~pector; E. H. Denny of the U. S. bureau of mines; James McKim and George G. Bywater of the United States Geo·logical survey, and n. R. Knill, company safety engineer. President McAuliite pointed out that the membership Is composed of men who have aclually participated In the saving of life and limb in the company coal mines through extension of the ~a!ety program to a point that the results have commanded attention not only In the United States but in Canada and Great Britain as well. During the first five :,t·:\rs of the safety drive, 1923-27, l'J67 lost-time accidents occurred l;. the company mines, during the mi1 •ng of 14,368,523 tons of coal. ln• the last five-year period, 1936 !O, 16,468.358 tons of coal were mined ~·ith but 163 lost-time mishaps. �I I Mine safety fraternity is organized Union Pacific Coal Company unit may become model for nation-wide organization • W I T H the founding at Rock Springs, "'yoming, 011 February 27, of a mine safety (raternity, to be known as Sigma Tau Epsilon, a new concepLion of safety as a bond of fellowship comes into being, and a new visla is perceived of a national fraternal organization uniting in one brotherhood the foremen at mines of all kind and degree who have won conspicuous distinction in the establishment of safety records by the units under their supervision. Fittingly, for its mines l1ave capLUrecl the Sentinels of Safety trophy on five separate occasions, The Union Pacific Coal Company and its president, Eugene McAuliffe, an indefatigable worker in the cause of mine safety, become the sponsors of the new society. The fraternity's charter specifically bars company executives from membership. The initial meeting o( the fraternity held on the evening of February 271 was addressed by Eugene McAuliffe, president, I. N. Bayless, general manager, George B. Pryde, vice president, and R.R. Knill, safety engineer, all of The Union Pacific Coal Company; also J ames Sampson, Wyoming State Coal Mines inspector, E. H. Denny of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, and others. Forty-three foremen and superintendents of the company's mines qualified for charter membership in the fraternity. Of this number, by far the majority are unit or outside foremen, who have won this honor by reason of having carried the men under their supervision for three years or longer without a single lost-time accident. T hese men are the backbone o( the successful practice of safety by the company organization. By the same token they will form the core of the fraternity's membership and, by the exclusive privileges of voting and holding office, will gujde its course and conduct its affairs. Mine foremen having local charge of any mine which has won or in the fu. ture may win the Sentinels of Safety trophy, or in which no lost-time accident has been recorded for one calendar year, are als~ eligible_ for membership b~t have neither voting nor office- holding rights. Mine superimen<lents in general charge of any mine winning the Sentinels of Sa(ety trophy wi ll auto• matically qualify for membership, but arc likewise barred from voting or holding office. Foremen who subsequently advance to higher positions forfeit their voting privileges but retain membership. There will be no honorary members. Thus the principle of maintaining the fra ternity on a thoroughly democratic basis is established and implemented. R egular mecti11gs of the fraternity will be held t1uartcrl)'· in addition to which there will be special meetinffs called by the president whose duty 1t is to arrange suitable programs for the meetings. No dues are LO be collectecl from any member, and no expenses may be incurred withou t the approval of the general ma11agc:111ent or T he Union Pacific Coal Company. Commiuees on safe practice recommendations, appointed by the president at the first quarterly meeting ol each year, will study accident prevention methods and submit repons LO meetings. Approved reports will be J,'lle shall be glad to be of service lo those interested in obtaining further i11formn.lio11 onSigmn. Tau EjJsi/011. Letten on the subject will be brought lo the attention of the sponsors of Uie movement. pa~~cd on to the company's safety engineer for consiJeration o f the management. The underlying purpose of the fraternity, lo couLribute LO the advan cement of safety, is perhaps best summed up in the by-law which outlines the funcLions of the commiuees: "It will be understood that the real work of the several commiLLees is to observe bad practice, making recommendations regarding same, thus an ticipating and auempting to prevent accidents." The emblem of the fraternity, to be donated by The Un ion Pacific Coal Company, will be a handsome key, engraved with Lhe member's name and year of election. 1n commenting on the new fraternity, ~Ir.

When the train arrived a crowd of Kaffirs advanced to unload it, ,Churchill slipped out al the end of the truck bet"\veen the couplings and reached the yard where he stood, his slovenly and unkempt appearance enabling him to mingle with the Kal:Tirs. He then made his way to the gates, reaching the streets of the town and there a man by the name of Burgener, a ·correspondent of Mr. Howard' s, was found waiting without. After an exchange of glances, Burgener turned and walked off into the town, Churchill following twenty yards behind. Agai n we will quote Mr. Churchill: "We walked through several streets and turned a number of corners. Presently he stopped and stood for a moment gazing up at the roof of the opposite house. I looked in the same direction, and there- blesr vision !- I saw floating the gay colours of the Union Jack. It was the British Consulate." Returning to the army, the youth served gallantly through the remainder of the Boer war, taking part in the relief of Ladysmith, including the battle of Spion Kop. Eventually returning to England, Mr. Churchill was elected to the British parliament which was the beginning of a stormy political career which enmeshed him for many years, including the period of the Great War, a peri od cousisting of alternate political successes and failures, his sending of the British fleet into the North Sea twentyfour hours before Germany invaded Belgium one of the high points of his ·career, the failure of the Gallipoli campaign looked upon as one of his unfortunate enterprises. Perhaps he was not to blame for this disaster. With a lifetime of military and political experience, Winston Churchill came to be looked upon as the one man most capable of defending Great Britain and the theory of free government against the Axis powers, a position now occupied by him. Few will <tuestion "Time's" designation-Man of the Year. Fore1nen and Outside Foremen In Particular Department of this issue of the EmI ployes'Safety Magazine will be found an outline of N THE the organizalion of a Greek letter Safety Honor Society to be known as SIGMA TAU EPSILON. which will take place in Rock Springs on February 27, 1941. The purpose of this organization is to give due credit to the various Unit Foremen in our several mines who work continually in connection with the actual production of coal while the mines are in operation, the matter of adequately looki11g after the men i n their charge their first and greatest responsibility. The new Society "\Vill he conducted by the Unit Foremen and Outside Foremen who are q,ualified for admission therein and The Union Pacific Coal Company who strives to keep dose to the head in mine safety effort, doubtless will be justified in saying that SIGMA TAU EPSILON will be the first Greek letter society ever organized in connection with the work of mine safety. Regular quarterly meetings will be held four times annually, with special meetings when same are deemed necessary, and the government of this society, including the exclusive right to hold office and vote, will rest with tl1e Unit Foremen and Outside Foremen. Mine Superintendents and Mine Foremen will only be eligible for membership when the mines in their charge prove successful contestants for the Sentinels of Safety trophy. All managerial officers will he barred from membership, unless same has been attained before their promotion to various managerial offices and no honorary memberships shall at any time he established by this society. A suitable insignia, to be worn as a watch fob, is being designed and each such insignia will bear the name of the member and the date of bis admission to the society. The organization of a Greek letter so'Ciety and the work it will attempt is very largely patterned after The Hudson Coal Companr's organization, "Safety Key Men," the key men of this very large anthracite company extremely jealous of their part in the organization with its fine record of Safety achievement which we hope will be equalled by the members of SIGMA TAU EPSILON. Not less than 44 qualified members will be taken in at the organization meeting on Februarv ~th. • / l l I { �FEBRUARY, 1941 EMPLOYES' MACAZl l'\E "Let him give me food, a pistol, a guide, and if possible a pony, and I would make my own way to the sea, marching by night across country far away from the railway line or any habitation. "He would not hear of it. He would fix up something. But he enjoined the utmost caution. Spies were e,·erywhere. He had two Dutch servant-maids actually sleeping in the house. There were many Kaffirs employed about the mine premises and on the pumping-machinery of the mine. Surveying these dangers he became very thoughtful. "Then: 'But you are famishing.' "I did not contradict him. In a moment he had bustled off into the kitchen, telling me meanwhile to help myself from a whisky bottle and the soda-water machine which I have already mentioned. He returned after an interval with the best part of a cold leg of mutton and various other delectable commodities, and, leaving me to do full justice to these. quitted the room and let himself out of the house by a back door. "Nearly an hour passed before Mr. Howard returned. In this period my physical well-being had been brought into harmony with the improvement in my prospects. I felt confident of success and equal to anything. " 'It's all right,' said Mr. Howard. 'I have seen the men, and they are all for it. We must put you down the pit tonight, and there you will have to stay till we can see how to get you out of the country. One difficulty,' he said, 'will be the skoff (food). The Dutch girl sees every mouthful I eat. The cook will want to know what has happened to her leg of mutton. I shall have to think it all out during the night. You must get down the pit at once. We'll make you comfortable enough.' "Accordingly, just as the dawn was breaking, I followed my host across a little yard into the enclosure in which stood the win.ding-wheel of the mine. Here a stout man, introduced as Mr. Dewsnap, of Oldham, locked my hand in a grip of crushing vigour. "'They'll all vote for you next time,' he whispered. "A door was opened and I entered the cage. Down we shot into the bowels of the earth. At the bottom of the mine were the two Scottish miners with lanterns and a big bundle which afterwards proved to he a mattress and blankets. We walked for some time through the pitchy labyrinth, with frequent turns, twists, and alterations of level, and finally stopped in a sort of chamber where the air was cool and fresh. Here my guide set down his bundle, and Mr. Howard handed me a couple of -candles, a bottle of whisky, and a box of cigars. " 'There's no difficulty about these,' he said. ·I keep them unclt>r lock and key. Now we m\. plan how to feed }ou lo morrow.' " 'Don •t you m oYe 1· rom l1erc, w hatever happens,' was the parting injunction. ·There will be Kaffirs a bout the mine after daylight, but we shall be on the look-out that none of them wanders this way. None of tJ1e111 ha!> seen anything so far.' " My four friends trooped off with their lanterns, and I was left alone. Viewed from the velvety darkness of the pit, li fe seemed bathed in rosy light. After the perplexity and even despair through which I had passed I counted upon freedom as certain. Instead of a humiliating recapture and long months of monotonous imprisonment, probably in the common jail, I saw myself once more rejoining the Army with a real exploit to my credit, and in that full enjoyment of freedom and keen pursuit of adventure dear to the heart of youth. In this comfortable mood, and speeded by intense fatigue, I soon slept the sleep of the weary- but of the triumphant." Mr. Howard's inquiries developed that the Pretoria government was making tremendous efforts to re-capture Churchill, special attention aiven to the Middleburg mining region as a likely place for his hiding as all of the people of England connected with the coal mining region were more or less suspe_cted. Expressing his willingness to try to work his way out, particularly if a Kaffir guide and pony w~re f~rnished ~r. Howard urged that he remam qwet, assuring hun that in due time plans for his escape would be worked out. Mr. Churchill's stay in the mine and his experience with mine ra!5, which before the coming of the electric locomotive were an established institution in nearly all coal mines, is best told in his own language: "'Here,' he said, 'you are absolutely safe. Mac' (by which he meant one of the Scottish miners) 'knows all the disused workings and places that no one else would dream of. There is one place here where the water actually touches the roof for a foot or two. If they searched the mine, Mac would dive under that with you into the workings cut off beyond the water. No one would ever think of looking there. We have frightened the Kaffirs with tales of ghosts, and anyhow, we are watching their movements continually.' "He stayed with me while I dined, and then departed, leaving me, among other things, half-a-dozen candles which, duly warned, I tucked under my pillow and mattress. "I slept again for a long time, and woke suddenly with a feeling of movement about me. Something seemed to be pulling at my pillow. I put out my hand quickly. There was a perfect scurry. The rats were at the candles. I rescued the candles in time, and lighted one. Luckily for me, I have no horror of rats as !um, �Rock Springs - February 18 , 1941 //J'• £Ugene r:cAuliffe ; J j ·/ Rei'orri ng t o yours of Februa ry 14th, 41C-05 : ! 8n returning under separlite cover the suggested design for key embleo. ,;c think it is very attractive, and of sufficient quality.

Attempts have been made in the past to organize foremen's safety organizations- mem·bership generally being open to all who were interested. It is in this respect that our Safety Key Men's Organization shows a fundamental difference. Membership in the new organization is restricted to foremen with outstanding safety records and consequently is more worili striving for. In recognizing performance by officials it is a truism of good management that "results cowit--excuses won't pay bills." Our method of selecting members for the Key Men's Organization is merely the application of this recognized principle to injury-prevention. Requirements for membership in tl1e Safety Key Men's Organization are that sectional foremen and other inely interested in safety work hut also were we11 versed in gelling tangible results they found the interchange of ideas among themselves both stimulating and interesting. The result was an organization of such exce1Ient humall material that it sold itself to both members and non-members from the start. The group was formally organized in November, 1938, at a ·banquet at the Scranton Club in ]1onor of the men qualifying for membership. The principal speaker was Mr. Harrington, chief of the health and safety branch of the U. S. Bureau of Mines. A dual function was visualized for the Safety Key Men's Organization from the start. First, i t was t() be a rneans of conferrfog merited honor 11nd recognition upon foremen for outstanding achievements in injury prevention. Second, the organization was designed to take an active and continuous part in the company's safety program. Inasmuch as membership was to signify substantial progress in preventing injuries, h was Ielt that the insignia should be cnmmensurate with the achit:vemt>nt it represented. Therefore, it was decided to present each member with an attractive gold COAL AGE_:_ Vol. 45, No. 4 �WHAi C~NCINNATI MEANS ro ~n 9nvitation "Jrom the J\lational Ghairman &~ill ill IT t &ml llnmnm~ ~@lill~llifil:~~ u D . 1 ~ rn DD OD OD .00 ~ V [c OR 16 years the annual Coal Conventions and [f Expositions of the American Mining Congress have "sparked" progress in the art of mining coal, with the result that modernization of equipment and methods is forging resolutely ahead and coal is maintaining its position as the nation's leading energy source. The momentum of this progress is allimportant and can ,b est be maintained through the industry's concerted support of these annual meetings. The 17th Annual Coal Convention and Exposition will he held at Cincinnati the week of April 29, and again will bring together thousands of mining men and manufacturers for their yearly review of the modern way in coal mining. Past experience has proved the tremendous influence which these gatherings exert toward improved operating conditions and practices and their effect on the general welfare of the coal industry. Each year, a nationwide committee of practical operating men selects a convention px,ogram covering coal's most pressing problems. The convention discussions b ring out the best thought of the industry on methods and equipment for eacli particular phase of operation by showing how our most progressive mines are turning coal out safely and efficiently. Coupled with the formal program discussions is the informal ·exchange, or "swapping," of ideas. Every year, also, the nation's leading manufacturers of mining machinery, equipment and supplies exhibit their products and services, with special emphasis on new developments and new adaptations of proved products. The far-reaching value of such an array of exhibits can hardly be overestimated. Through this medium, coal men are privileged each year to learn at first hand just what is available for every operation in producing coal fuel.

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

To make it possible for them to take an active pa rt in the company's safety program they were divided into committees of three to five men. Naturally, each man was assigned to the committee where his record and experience indicated that he could do the most good. These committees are as follows: 1. Roof Falls (Inside). 2.

T·he bulletins, it is true, do not introduce new ideas on safety very often because our experience has been analyzed so thoroughly in the past that we a lready a re well acquainted with the various types of injuries and ways of preventing them. H owever, they do furnish a novel, timely a nd authorita tive means o f repeating safety rules already in effect, as well as an excellent method of introducing new r ules and modHying old ones. Forty-five bulletins were issued by the commiltees in 1939. These have been reprinted in a convenient pocketsized booklet for distribution to our foremen. Upon reading these bulletins, one is impressed with the fact that they have achieved a muchneeded integration of the various safety rules applicable to the p·articular hazards with which they deal. General bulletin form and content are shown in the examples reproduced elsewhere in this article. Fatalities Investigated When a fatal accident occurs the appropriate committee is summoned to investigate. It visits the scene as soon afterward as possible, looks into attendant circumstances, questions witnesses and immediately prepares a report for transmission to the assistant general manager. This investigation and report are separate and independent of the customary investigation by the company's safety department. In initiating this practice of accident in.vestigation ·by the Key Men's committees, the management visualized several salutary effects. First, it stimulates supervisory officials to greater efforts in the discovery and eliminatioµ of hazards which might cause fatalities. Second, we get the opinion of several disinterested yet competent observers on the cause and prevention of_ our fatal accidents. Third, it broadens the viewpoint of the Key Men, who have shown by their records that they are the men most likely to grasp the lessons of experience. Further, through the Key Men, the knowledge gained from close contact with the circumstances attending fatal accidents is more widely disseminated. In every case where a committee has investigated an accident, it is worth noting that it hos gone about it zealously and exhaustively, yet with utmo!it fairness nnd COAL AGE- Vol. 45, No. 4 �5' ~ -~ ~ t s;~~ t:= g ...

It will, of course, r~CJU:Ire two or three years to obtain s1gmficant statistical results.

Va., now uses low-vein mobile loading machines to recover an average of 40 in. of coal under 9 to 15 in. of rash and 4 to 15 in. of drawslate. An average of 14 in. of these impurities must be handled by gobbing or loading out, and under these conditions performance per man employed undergro·und was 13.2 tons of coal per shHt in August, 1939. Impurities handled brought the total output per man employed underground (coal and impurities) up to 19.3 tons per shift. The third company in Logan County to ship coal, Monitor started operations in 1905 and has been under the same management ever since. Until 1930, when the Eagle seam was opened, mining was done in the Island Creek seam. The organizat..ion has experimented mth mechanical loading since 1921 and M April, 1940 - COAL AGE With an average of 14 in. of rash and drawslate to he handled, the Monitor Coal & Coke Co. is mining the 40-in. Eagle seam in Logan County, West Virginia, with mobile loading machines accompanied by slabbing units for cutting in the rash over the coal. Performance in August, 1939, was 13.2 tons per man employed underground. By ARTHUR DOWNING Vice-President, Monitor Coal & Coke Co. Wilkinson, W. Va. was the first in West Virginia to load coal with a Joy machine. In 1922, a Goodman power shovel was put to work, and in 1926, over a period of six months, two power shovels load- , Q ing into 3-ton cars averaged 275 tons per shovel per shift. In all, these shovels handled over 300,000 tons of Island Creek-seam coal. Scraper loaders also were tried by the company in 1923. The Eagle-seam mine, with which this article deals, was opened in 1930 with the idea of mechanizing it from the start. Accordingly, an experimental Joy 8BU loading machine was purchased and used for about six months. But with the economic con• ditions prevailing in 1931, mechanical loading was abandoned for a time in favor of hand loading, which also was considered the safest in view of the physical conditions encountered in extracting the Eagle coal. Changing economic conditions, however, compelled a revision of viewpoint in 1938, with the result that the management again decided to experiment with mechanical loading to see if a system for future mining could be developed which also would 63 J �&ssurc the requ1s1te safety for cm· ·1,.-•ployees. In this adaptation of mechanical loading to the difficult conditions encountered underground, C. A. Cook, general superintendent, took a vital part. The first step was to thoroughly overhaul the 8BU machjne purchased in 1930 and put it to work driving a six-heading entry two shHts a day. In the first fourteen days of work, in April, 1938, the machine averaged 165 tons per shiit. In May, we decided lo put tl1e loading machine on a two-,:hifts-per-day five-days-per- week schedule. The average output over the month was 189 tons per shift or 378 tons per day of two shifts. In view of this performance, the man· agement decided that there were great possibilities in mechanical loading and consequently ordered two more 8BU machines for delivery in July and October, the idea being to place the old machine on the spare list and use the new ones in active coal production. The new machines actually arrived in August and November, and, as they had to be coupled with Goodman slabbing machin.es, a new Arthur Downing Active working place in No. 3 haulage heeding. Heavy broken line indicates cen_ter line of track to face 35 ft. from the camera position. Top portion of the 40-,n. seam appears at the extreme left. In this heading an effort was made to hold the 40:in. immediate slate top but it came down anyway. Even so, headers w,11 be required to support the remaining intermediate slate. H ere, in No. 4 Main, 20 in. of rock is taken down. C. A. Cook, general superintendent, inspects the top cut, which in this case was made in the coal because here the frail top is principelly sandstone. 64 slabber also was ordered, arriving late in November, 1938. Because of broken working time in December, 1938, and J anuary, 1939, mechanical-loading rcsulls were not good. In February and March, 1939, however, the machines worked five days a week and two shifts a day, or a total of four working shifts each day. In March, the daily aver• age was 798 tons, or 198 tons per machine-shift. At first glance, this doesn't appear to be anything to brag about, as lots of J oy loaders are get• ting 300 tons or more per shift. How• ever, conditions in the mine should be ta.ken into consideration before passing judgment. All the coal came from two sets of six-heading entries with crosscuts driven 80 ft. apart. Ten of the headings were 20 ft. wide and the other two were 18 ft. wide. Average coal height is 40 in. and the average thickness of impurities which must be handled is 14 in. The cutting is done in the hard rash over the coal, using a Goodman 824-BA low-vei~ slabber. Rash thickness, as noted above, is 9 to 15 in. Cuttings and other material out of the top must be gobbed or loaded out. Every shift, more or less, there always are one or more places with 20 to 24 in. of rash and drawslate. Each place is timbered with four posts and half. headers. Safety posts also are set in each place. In J une and July, 1939, an average of 24 in. of impurities was encoun• tered in each working place, and in some places the rash and drawslate aggregated 36 in. All this material was gobbed or loaded out. In August, there was an im11rovement in these conditions, with the result that the COAL AGE- Vol. 45, No. 4 �r j EM PLOYES' MAGAZINE NovEr.IBER, 194 JJJlels of Sa£ety Trophy , (JcroBER 12th the Sentinels of Safety lroph , Jauarded. hy the f Hercules P o\\der 0 mpany) the U • S • Bureati of 1\". 11 ;1/J the assistance o •unes • 11 as presente d to ti1e woTkers of the Ol yphant Min; of Tlie .Hudson · - .- . .

"This is the second time that this beautiful bronze representation of a mother and her little child has been awarded to Hudson Coal Company men, the first award made to the men of th~ company's Stillwater Mine at Vandling, in 1933. I hope that some of the men who worked in that mine in 1933 are here today. " The artist who conceived and e:xecuted this heautiful trophy, chose for his subject the most sacred relationship that exists within the Imman race, that of the mother to her child. It is a pity that more of us wlJo are fathers do not accept our responsibilities toward our children in a somewhat deeper sense. Unfortunately we are prone to leave lo the mothers too many of the dudes that we jointly owe our children, and they suffer accordingly. ... * ~ ''How to bring about the greatest measure of safety in and about our mines is the compelling problem confronting the industry today. This will not come through the mandates of either a Federal or State Inspection law. The facts are, that all that is worth while in our American form of life, came not from sumptuary laws but from an honest, conscientious spirit of cooperation between employer and ~vorkers, the last mentioned the class who furrush the flesh and blood, and who with their fami_lies endu~e the suffering that follo_ws every ac?1~ent. It 1s out of sincere cooperation and a sp1nt of workinu together that betterment will come, and you m~st have much of that on The Hudson Coal Company properties or you would not be gathered here today. "May I say a word as to the responsibility of leadership? From the very dawn of civilization some man, some class, has been compelled to take leadership. In the Old World political leadership was at one time a matter of in- Award At Scranton, Pa heritance.

He also has a full voice in the making of the laws that aovern his affairs, and in establishing the conditions under which he works, including hours and rates of pay. There is yet opportunity in America for a workman to select his employer. lVIay I say further, that there is a very definite obliaa. tion on the part of the workers to select for their leaders men who have vision and capacity for leadership, and who will continuously try to do the best for their constituents rather than to try to win higher office by creating strife. There are men in every walk of life who have depended on securing a<lvan'Cement, by creating for themselves a 'nuisance value.' * * * ~ ~ ''I here and now wish to accord full credit to the engineers of the United States Bureau of Mines and our State Mine Inspection forces, for the splendid guidance and assistance given us in attaining an increased measure of safetyb_u t the fact remains, that with a willing and conscientious management, such as I know ours was, and as I am equally sure you have in Mr. Cadwallader Evans, Jr., and his staff, the credit yet belongs to the men. .. . ..

During the first nine months of 1940 there were 137 FATAL injuries in the ~mthracite Mining Indus try\} and 74 0 or a little over half of that number 0 were the result of roof fallso Di rect falls were res1)ons ible for 51 and indirect falls for 23 fa talities o Of ti1ese 74 fata l injuries 13 occurred in the Hudson Coal Company' s mines. \·/hat will the next three months show?

During the year 1938 over 05 9 000 man-days were lost due to injuries sustained by employees of our compa.nyo This resulted in a loss of ap~roximately $,425 9 000 in waITes. If for no other reason, we should all realize that an injury avoided or prevented means more earning-so While the monetary loss is something to think about it cannot be com~ared with the untold suffering and misery resulting from these injuries.
