Mr . Thomas Miller, Fire Bose,

¥as the first man to reach the inJured men, and reports that
these men had

videntl7 used the locomotive· as n means or

trans~ortat1on to the outside parting at the end or the shift ,
and they had three loaded mine oara. They ev1dentiy failed to
use auft1c1ent skids or brakes on the trip to control it and
lost control of the locomotive on hich the men were riding ,
and the locomotive derailed pproximatel7 7Q feet above the
ma1n parting or sidetrack and threw these men sga1nat the rib

Ho

His total length of service is

approximately 6 years and l month •
.tJ.bert Qnoda is .'2D yenrs of ace, American., single, and was hired
by this Campany April 11, 1950.

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.

The men \'mre

assigned to transpo1'"t a D.Oto • and con-tz&gt;ol panel to the recently constructed
hoist roo..':l o.t 2 Slope, Uo. 7 S -:cm .

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.

Mr. H. C. Livingston:

o. Murray
Mr. J.B. Hughes
Mr. F. Jo Peternell)

(cc: l".lr.V.

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.

Mro H. C. Livingston:
I received your letter of May 24,
together t1i th a copy of W. E. Greek's report of

injury to Lyman E. 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.
