We recommend that large chunks of coal on top of cars be taken care of or taken off before leaving loader point. We also think that more attention should be paid to foot wear, v. John Knoll George Blacker Arthur Munn J. Hearne Committee No. 3 Resolutions and recommendations of Committee No. 3. In order to prevent injuries caused by falls of rock or coal in timbered places, we recomr.iend·that the men be instructed by the supervisor in charge to always sound roof before knocking out any props. When loose roof is fQund supported by props which have to be moved either additional props or crossbars are to be set before knockini; or moving those props. While timbering or cro~sbarring extremely bad roof, men engaged in that type of work must be instructed by the supervisor in charge to always use safety props, Ernest Besso John Cukale Joe Kosovich Frank Subic Sam Canestrini Committee No. 4 ~e, Committee No. 4, recoml?lend that in handling and moving timber and rails, that the supervisory force continue to stress the need of the men keeping their minds on what they are doing at the mo~ent, keeping their fingers and toes in the clear, When the ha.ndles of wrenches are not long enough to get leverage to tighten the bolts or clamps, we would recommend that longer �handles be welded on to the wrench. 'fe would also have men who &re holding 1 jackpipes for the machine man to continue holding the pipe until it is tight. Clyde Rock James Law Joe Salvatico Andrew Spence Committee No. 5 We, Committee No. 5, considered the eye injuries. 't'Te feel that the injuries reported, could be avoided some by the worlr..man being a little more careful in handling material and by wearing his ~OGgles closer to his eyes except where men are sharpening drill bits. u'!," reccITUncnc that tJ-,ey use enclosed goggles.

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