Omaha - October 9, 1946

a. Livingston :
I read with a g reat deal of interest the recom-

mendation ~ made by the several committees in the Sigma Tau
Epsilon organization , and I think a copy of their reco ~mendations should be g iven to the U. M.\L of A. safety committee
at each district, as l..-·e ll as discussing the different reco mmendations at your safety meetings.

�SIGMa TAU EPSILON SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AS OF SEPTEMBER 15, 1946
Committee No. 2
We, Committee No. 2, recommend there should be r.i.ore caution around
cars.

We recommend that lar ge 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.
John V, Knoll

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 tL~bered places, we
recof:lF.lend· that the men be instructed b~r the supervisor in charge to always
sound roof before knocking out any props.

11fuen loose roof is found supported

by props which have to be moved either additional props or crossbars are to
be set before knockint; or moving those props.

While timbering or crossbarring

extremely bad roof, men enBaged in tho.t type of work must be instructed by the
supervisor in charge to alv1a~rs use safety props.

Cerami t tee No. 4
1'le,

Committee No. 4, recoilll?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 moment, keeping their fingers
and toes in the clear,

When the handles of wrenches are no:t long enough to

get leverage to tighten the bolts or clamps, we would recommend that longer

�. t'landles be welded on to the wrench.

~'le would also have men who &amp;re holding

jackpipes for the machine man to continue holding the pipe until it is tight.
Clyde Rock
James Law
Joe Salvatico
Andrew Spence
Committee No. 5
We, Committee No. 5, considered the eye injuries.

t·/e feel that

the injuries reported, could be avoided some by the worYJnan being a little
more careful in handling material and by wearing hi s ?,O!:;gl es closer to his
eyes except where men are sharpening drill bits .

B y the Committee on Mechanical Loading
RHE REPORT presented her e has
been prepared by the committee after
a comprehensive study of the supervisory methods used by a number of
coal companies operating in various
fields. The committee wishes to stat e
that its intent is not to tell the industry exactly how all mines should be
organized, but to point out organizational practices which seem to be generally satisfactory. Modification of
these organizational practices are
sometimes made necessary by the personalities and the ca pabilities of the
key .men involved and by the conditions and plan of mining of the particular mine.
Seven groups of officials having directive authority over other men are
considered. Their duties are tabulated
in the accompanying summary and
also are outlined in the two organizational charts submitted herewith, while
the following is a detailed discussion
of the specific duties of these officials:
1. il1Iine Superintendent
The mine superintendent supervises
the entire operation, but controls underground supervision by direct line
authority through the mine foreman,
safety engineer and master mechanic.

2. Sa.fety Eng-ineer
The modern mechanized mine has a
need for a safety inspector or safety
engineer whose duties should be considerably more than the usual routine
of collecting rock dust samples, taking methane readings and training
mine rescue teams. He should be a
competent mining man duly qualified
by experience and judgment to make
constructive suggestions, and should
have personality and tact so as to secure a satisfactory degree of cooperation from the mine foreman.
The safety engineer should report
directly to the mine superintendent
and should work in cooperation with
the mine foreman, having a voice in
general mining problems, particularly
in regard to ventilation. He should
have authority to stop work in any

place he deems unsafe until the place
is made safe. His duties should •include regularly scheduled inspections
of each section an d he should report
on t he oper ating condition of equipment fr om the viewpoint of saf ety as
well as on working conditions in th e
section. In la r ge mines he may r equire one or more a ssistants, or even
a depar tmental setup.
The safety eng ineer should investigat e all accidents, deter mining the
cause and making r ecommendations of
steps to be taken to prevent r eoccurrence of similar accidents. He should
hold frequent educational meetings
wi t h men and their foremen, in various classes of work, to discuss their
safety problems in detail.
3. Mine Forema,n
Duties of the mine foreman, or mine
manager, are prescribed by law to
some degree in all coal producing
states.
Regardless of existence of
safety departments, or multiple shift
operation of mines, or organization by
functional control within the setup of
management; the mine foreman by
law is primarily responsible for · all
underground conditions, for the maintenance of safe practices underground
and is, like the captain of the ship,
the final authority in the mine. Responsibility is delegated to him by the
mine superintendent, or his assistant,
or his equivalent. In turn he may
delegate responsibility to assistant
mine foremen in charge of shifts, assistant foremen in charge of sections
of the mine and assistants in charge
of one unit. The mine foreman should
have the last word in hiring men and
likewise the last word in firing men.
Direct orders should be received from
the mine foreman and transmitted
through channels of direct line authority to the individual. This plan
should be modified only in cases involving safety or some emergency
which may require direct act i o 11 .
Proper underground discipline requires that this principle be observed.
Th&lt;;! mine fo1·eman should have active

superv1s1on of the first or day shift
and directive supervision of the other
s hift or shifts.
4. Master Mecha.nic

A n ormal delegation of a uthority in
actual practice, and in some states by
mine Jaw, is in r egard to mechanical
and electrical installation and , maintenance undergr ound. It is seldom
that t he mine fo rema n has the n ecessary qualificati ons to properly supervise. th is work. H e may have charge
of t lw operat ion, but as far as the
installati on and maintenance is concerned, this h as t o come under some
other man specially qualified in those
lines, u sually known a s a chief electrician, master mechanic or machine
boss. In some states the chief electrician, is now equall y responsible with
the mine foreman _in complying with
the state law as to the condition of
electrical a pparatus and power lines.
These several delegations of authority are necessary in operations of any
size; ·especially if the mine is mechanized. ' However, it is felt that the mine
foreman, in case of any question or
dispute, must be the man who has the
final authority.
Men employed in machinery maintenance such as mechanics, electricians,
greasers and repairmen make up the
crew of the machine boss who may
have •assistants on other operating
shifts. These men are responsible directly to the machine boss or master
mechanic, but must also be subject to
the mine foreman of their shift while
underground. Conversely substation
a tt endants, wiremen, pumpers and
similar groups may also take direction and instruction from the master
mechanic as a supplemental authority.
The practice of having the maintena nce foreman or master mechanic responsible directly to the mine superintendent seems to be satisfactory. In
general the maintenance f o rem an
should have full responsibilty for the
condition of the equipment and full
r esponsibility for the functioning of
ma intenance men. Normally one or

�...
more shift repair bosses are subordinate to the maintenance foreman.
These men report directly to him and
in his absence handle as many of his
duties as their abilities permit. The
relationship of the maintenance foreman to the mine foreman and his organization in mines which seem most
succ:essful, include the following general classifications:
A. Situations where the maintenance foreman has authority
over the mine foreman, or his
assistants.
1. The maintenance foreman or
one of his subordinates finding equipment unsafe or liable
to fail mechanically, can stop
the operation of the equipment.
2. The maintenance foreman or
one of his subordinates has
authority to halt harmful
practices of operators who
abuse their machines.
3. The maintenance foreman has
authority to demand opportunity to grease and maintain
the equipment.
B. Situations where the mine foreman, or his assistants, has authority over the maintenance
foreman.
1. The mine foreman or his assistants have authority over
the safety practices of the
maintenance force.
2. The mine foreman or his assistants have the right to remove the maintenance force or
any men from any portion of
the mine that they should
deem unsafe.
C. Situations where the mine foreman and maintenance foreman
have equal authority which the
superintendent must decide.
1. Buck passing involving the
attempt of one group to hide
their own failures b eh i n d
those of the other.
2. Most practices involving production in which the maintenance and operating departments take opposite sides.
3. However, in the absence of
the superintendent and when
some action must be taken immediately for safety or operating reasons, the mine foreman must h a v e t h e final
say-so.
The maintenance foreman should
also have the authority to instruct the
assistant foremen in regard to certain
practices of operation that increase
maintenance cost. Invariably, maintenance foremen become thoroughly
familiar with the personnel who are
operating certain types of equipment,
and the maintenance foreman should
be consulted and his recommendation
given consideration when new men
are picked as operators of equipment.

US(?.

The close cooperation of mine foreman, maintenance foreman and all
assistant foremen in the choice of the
operator and the operation of the
units will be a great help to the successful operation of mechanical loading.

5. Assistant Foreman

In large mines the need for assistant mine foremen occurs when the
mine is so large that the mine foreman is unable personally to supervise
the general crews and the assistant
foremen in active charge of sections.
Such assistant foremen have delegated authority from the mine foreman to supervise certain crews or
groupi&lt; of crews. These men should

have mine foreman papers (or assistant mine foremen papers) and
any of them should be capable of taking the place of the mine foreman or
shift foreman in their absence. Actually men in this group are "legs"
for the foreman, to help him cover a
job beyond the physical limitations of
a single man.
In those cases where it is desirable
to have an assistant to the mine foreman to supervise several sections or
units, this man usually would also
look after the general and relay haulage serving his various units; supervise the ordering and 1·ecovering of
material, the placing and removal of
wiring, the general ventilation, drainage, timbering and trackwork back

6. Second Assistant Foreman
. The most important phases of mside supervision is, naturally, the operations at the face. It is felt ·,;hat
each mechanical loading unit sh ;uld
have a separate unit foreman for best
operation and safety in all cases except those where only very small c:.-ews
are operated for development or other
reasons, and where two or three crews
are so close together that they can be
properly supervised by one man. This
is seldom the case and it has been
observed over a period of years that
there has been more and more of a
tendency for each mechanical loading
unit to have a boss of its own.
These foremen should have absolute
charge of the timbering, track, cutting, drilling, shooting, loading and
any other operations at and near the
face. In most mining systems the
section in which a mechanical loading
unit is located is a separate area, and
in such cases the unit foreman would
naturally have charge of all that section back to the side track or to the
outside of the panel in which his ma-

from the face and might be in direct
charge of groups o'f general timbermen or trackmen, if the situation is
such that such groups are used and
shifted from section to section.
Where all normal mining operations are completed on one shift and
a second shift is required only for
maintenance and supply delivery, the
foreman of the second shift is the
night mine foreman ( or night shift
boss). He is responsible directly to
the mine foreman who devotes most
of his attention to the day shift. The
night foreman should have .mine foreman papers or certificate, or assistant
mine foreman papers. The a,ctual requirements as to mine foreman or assistant mine foreman certificates will
vary slightly from state to state.
Where two or three production
shifts are involved, the second or
third shift foremen are directly responsible to the mine foreman . These
men are directly responsible for everything · underground during their tour
of duty, and where this tour of duty
involves regular production these men
should have mine foreman certificates.
It is best that the mine foreman remain in active charge of one of the
working shifts and that the shift foremen of the other shifts report directly
to him.
It is altogether a different thing to
operate a mine three shifts, six days
a week, than it is to operate it one
shift, or two shifts. Many problems
are multiplied out of all proportion to
the number of shifts and there are

Chart 2-Supervisory organization plan for single shift operation

problems that never exist in single or
double-shifted mines which become
very important in triple-shifted ones.
All crews assigned to irregular or
special jobs report directly to the foreman in charge of their shift. These
include grading, wiring, building of
stoppings and other masonry, main

chine is working. His section may include one or more loaders, cutters,
drills and locomotives but it should be
a balanced unit, not depending upon
part time service of equipment under
charge of another boss, except for
main haulage.
The unit foreman (or "face boss")

�is the man directly responsible for a ,
section of the mine with the men at
the face under his immediate control.
He ranks ·as an assistant mine foreman and should hold an assistant mine
foreman &lt;;ertificate. No orders, except in emergency, should be issued to
his men except by him. He should be
iully accountable for performance and
production .in his section. He is responsible for keeping the maintenance
department acquainted with the condition of his mechanical equipment
and with notification to the supply department of his supply requirements.
It is usually n ecessar y for the unit
foreman to make note of and t elephone
out to the disp at cher for relaying to
the .mine for eman, or a ssistant gener al foreman, a variety of information
that it may be necessary to know for
the oncoming cr ews ahead of the time
that these cr ews come in so th at men
can be properly spotted, equipment
transferred, suppl ies routed, etc.
Such informat ion that it is somet imes necessary to r elay an hour, or
t wo hours, before the end of each shift
would cover such things as fall s to be
made, wire to be extended or taken
out, pipe lines t o be laid, doors to be
hung, stoppings to b~ built, heavy
roof falls or bottom rolls to be drilled
and shot by the compressor men,
places in dangerous condition, etc.
The unit foreman and the general
assistant, if any, must necessarily
keep in touch with the transportation
foreman, or dispatcher, to keep him
informed of any unusual occurrences
that may affect his operations, such
as machinery breakdowns, haulage
troubles, etc., the foreseen stepup or
slowdown in loading operations due to
condition of places, and a variety of
other conditions. It is felt that by reporting the condition of each place at
the end of each shift by each crew
marking the timbering and cuts that
they make, and by constant observation and checking by an assistant mine
foreman, that the unit foreman can be
held better in line which will tend to
promote better cooperation and, therefore, better tonnage.

There are many cases where the
unit foreman has his hands full ii he
takes care of operations at the face
and does not concern himself with relay haulage, maintenance, track, timbering, wiring, etc., in his section back
from the face, or where the unit foreman is qualified only as a leader or
pusher, in which case the broad and
general aspects of his work, as well as
perhaps one or two other units, must
be supervised by another man who
would be his superior.
This is also particularly true where
two or three units are working on one
pillar line where it is of utmost importance that each and every place be
worked just at the right time and in
the proper manner to keep the rib line
straight and the pillar work cons~quently, in good condition.
7. Transportation Forernan

The transportation foreman, or his
equivalent under another name, is the
supervisor of main haulage, secondary
or swing motor haulagi:l, mantrips,
dispatching and supply delivery. In
some cases this man has charge of recovery of material. He is responsible
directly to the mine foreman or his
shift foreman. He keeps track of the
whereabouts of all f o r e m e n , fire
bosses, maintenance men and any other
key men. All in all, he is the nerve
center of the mine, receiving and
transmitting information and keeping
informed of what is going on at all
times.

Summary
Everything possible should be done
to uphold the .authority and prestige
of any foreman in charge of any class
of work, because if this is not done his
efficiency and usefulness is greatly reduced.
Each foreman must be backed to
the limit and any attempt by workmen to go around him must be prevented at all times by referring him
to his own foreman on any question
that he raises pertaining to his work.
Officials can prevent labor dispute.s
by fair and firm dealing with all men

regardless of their personal feeling.
All foremen should learn to hold their ~;
·temper; never make decisions that af- r
feet their men when they are angry
and should cultivate the friendly respect of the men towards them. If
they can convince the men they are
fair and absolutely square in their
dealings with them, do not fly off the
handle and swear; they will eliminate
mapy labor disputes. A foreman
should also know how to give instructions in regard to the work he wants
performed. If these instructions are
clear, right to the point so there is no
misunderstanding, he will eliminate
many petty grievances and arguments.
Officials in the mine should be relieved of the annoyance of a multitude
of reports, with the bookkeeping simplified and boiled down to the essential reports in addition to their state
reports.
Mine foremen, assistant mine foremen and fire bosses are qualified state
officials, as are chief electricians and
others in some states. These men have
legal responsibilities as well as duties
to the company employing them. All
of this demands that careful thought
be given to the selection of all underground officials, their further training, their relationship to one another
and to the organization as a whole,
and their working conditions-all in
accordance with the dignity and responsibilities of their position.

bonneted, double gauze, underied, naphtha burning lamp, magnetically locke I
and equipped ,,·ith internal igniter. The
air enters the lan ip through the ga uze
protected opening at the bottom of the
glass cylinder as we ll as ove r the top of
the glass. The products of combustion
pass through double gauz es and escape
through a large op ~ni.ng at the top of th e
lamp between the bon net and hood, and
through numerous small slits in the sur·
face oi the bonnet. It is \\·idely used by
the mining industry for detecting methane

(firedamp)

and the presence of

oxygen deficiency m coal mine atmospheres.

F~L~ING THE LAM~ WITH FUEL

.

.

In filling the lamp only a sufficient amount of fu ei_to saturate the cotton'. with which the font is :
packed, should be used. After the lamp has been fill ed 1t h ould be tu:ned ups1de-d?wn so that any ex- :
cess iuel will drain out. Care should be taken to r emove any fu el \\'h1ch may remam on the outside of
the font after filling. This precauti,on is necessary becau se when the lamp becomes heated this excess
fuel may eyaporate and enter the testing flame; thereby tending to give false indications.
EXAMINING AND CLEANING WIRE GAUZES
The wire gauzes constitute the safety feature of the lamp and any deterioration of them, slight as
it may be, is a direct source of danger. It is therefor very important that they should be examined carefully for indications oi wear or any other imperfections. Even though no indication of wear is visible,
the gauzes should not be used for too great a length of time, since the heat of the flame oxidizes the
wires which gradually reduces the diameter of the wires. This increases the area of the mesh of the
gauzes. thus permitting the entrance of a greater amount of air with a subsequent decrease in the saiety ie_ature of the lamp. The air admission ring of the lamp is also provided with two wire gauzes which
require careful attention. Although these latter gauzes are not exposed to the heat of the flame th ey
should be carefully examined frequently to determine whether they are in good condition and are pr~perly connected to the ring. If found deteriorated in any way, they should immediately be replaced w, th
new gauzes.

until a spark is ~btainecl. A fte r th e igniter has been ·operated, it should be lowered by pulling down on
the S\\'ivel; after \\'hich th e s wi vel should be swung to a horizontal position so as to clear th e knob for
the \\'ick adjustment.
The wick is adjusted by turn in g· the wick adju stm ent knob which is located on the bottom of the
iont.
\Vhen th e lamp is not in use the wick shoul d be lowe red a ll the way clo wn to pre vent evaporation
of the fuel.

PREPARIN G LAMP FOR TESTING
After the lamp ha s been prepared for use it should be care full y examined to ensure that all parts
are in good condition, that th ey fit prnpc rly a nd th at no pa rts a re mi ss ing. It is very importa nt that the
gauzes are free from dust , o il , rust , soo t, or a lly o th er obstru ctions whi ch will inter fe re with the air circulation of the lamp. A ttention sh ould also be g ive n to th e wi ck. It shoul d ·be trimm ed o f excess crust
to prevent clogging ; so that the fuel will -feed freely and produce a Aa me whi ch is s tabl e and uniform.
The lamp should be lighted some time before it is tak en to th e place th at is to be examin ed for the
pn:sence oi gas, so that it may have an opp ortunity to reach its norm al opera ting temperature.

OBSERVATION OF THE FLAME
.-\ Safety Lamp flame \\·ill show th e presence oi gas before th e percentage of gas read1es th e lower
exp!,)sive !it,;it. The elongation of th e flam e of th e lamp, caused by ga s, is a pale blu e flame (cap) that
appears to ride on the lamp flame. Two different methods are employed in testing for gas with a Safety
Lamp-the use -of a short, almost nonluminous· flame, about l/ 10" to 1/ 8" high , and the use of a normal
service flam e which is about 3/ 4" high. Doth of these methods are reliabl e and accurate. A careful observer ..:an detect as little as 11/n of gas, or at least th e approximate percentage of gas present.
\ \"hile making tests th e lamp must be held firmly upright \\'ith the hand underneath the fuel vessel.
It should be raised v~ry slO\\"ly. In a mine, gas ( methane ) rises to the roof because it is much lighter
than air; thus th e proporti on of gas in th e atmosphere \\"ill usually be found to increase as the roof is
approached. and \\"l{en the behavior of the Aame indicates that a dangerous percentage of gas is being
approached the lamp should be \\"ithdrawn.
Deficiency of oxygen in mine air \\"ill be indicated by a dimming of the flam e, and when the oxygen
gets as lo\Y as I 7% the flame will be extinguished. The reduction oi oxygen in mine air is due tc) tht•
presence of black clamp and often some of the oxygen in the air being absorbed by the co,il.

PRECAUTIONS
Certain precautions should be observed in the use of Safety Lamps:
I. Be sure that the lamp is locked before being taken into the min e.
2. Examine it carefully yourself to see that it is in good condition, even if it has passed the L:unp
Inspector.
3. Do not set your lamp on the bottom of the mine. It may be acciclently upset and extinguished,
and the glass globe may be broken. It is better to hang the lamp on a timber by a stout nail.
-1-. \\Then testing for gas be careful to prevent dripping water from striking the glass globe.
5. \\'hen gas flames up in your lamp, withdraw the lamp slowly and careiully, and ii lhe llame
goes out retire to fresh air before attempting to relight it.

�HIS pamphlet describes our improved permissible Wolf round burner flame safety lamp using a thermo··
static bimetal coil recently developed by the United States Bureau of Mines. It is our thought that this
new method of detecting methane will greatly aid the mining profession, especially the fireboss in making his
inspections more safely and reliably, since it offers a po sitive means of indication.

T

This new device operates on the principle of the bimetallic thermostat; that is, two metals united by
riveting, brazing or welding one metal possess ing a high co-efficient of expansion and the other a low co-efficient
of expansion. vVhen exposed to heat or temperature rise the material of high expansion properties will expand
or lengthen. The other material being of low expansion properties will have little or no expansion. The result
is a bending action. vVhen the temperature drops, the high expansive material shrinks back to its original length
and the bimetal straightens back to its original shape.
The application of a bimetallic coil to a flame safety lamp has made it possible to obtain double indications if methane is present.

(a)
( b)

By an increase in th e height of th e fl ame.
By a movement of th e pointer rod along th e sca le.

FIG. I-Illustrates th e approved safet y lamp with th e bimetallic unit as embly and should be used as a
guide for the installation of this unit in lamps already in service.
FIG. 2-Shows unit consisting of stainl ess steel mounting, bimetal coil, pointer rod, graduated glass
chimney, metal banded scal e, vented knob, slotted w ick adj uster rod, w ick holder and extra heaving wicking.

THE FOLLOWI NG P ROCEDU R E IN HA TDLI G Il'vIPR OVED WOLF FLAME
SAFETY LAMPS I
RECOM l\'IENDED WHE T TESTI 1TG FOR GAS:

1. With flame height adj usted o middle lin e of glass, let the lamp reach app roximately constant temperature
and flame height whil e going into the min e.
2. Before leaving fr esh air, reset flame height with tip of flame exactl y on th e middle line of the glass.
3. lVIove scale until the pointer coincid es w ith zero of th e scale.
4. Proceed to place 'vvhere test for meth ane is to be made. If methane is present, the lamp will give a double
indication: (a) By an incre-ase in the height -of flame above the line of setting. (f)" By a decided movement
of the pointer to the right. In this observation , first note the change in height of flame and then the resulting
movement of the pointer rod.
5. Recheck the lamp as to flame height when back in fresh air.
PROCEDURE WHEN TESTING FOR OXYGEN DEFICIENCY:

1. Let lamp reach normal temperature while going to the mine workings.
2. Before leaving fresh air, set tip of flame exactly on middle line ·of marked glass.
3. l\liove scale until pointer lines up with 2-inch mark on the scale.

-1-. Proceed to place where test for oxygen deficiency is to be made.

If there is any considerable oxygen defi-

ciency the lamp should give a \\;arning as follows:
(a)

( b)
( c)
(d)

By a change in the color of the flame.
By a decrease in the height of flame below the line of setting.
By a decided movement of the pointer to the left.
If the oxygen deficiency is very bad, the lamp will go out and the air will not support life.

NOTE: The most suitable fuel to use in this lamp is Atlantic 70° Naphtha produced by the Atlantic Refining
Company; obtainable either at Pittsburgh or Franklin, Pennsylvania.
f!Vhen adapting the Bimetallic device to lamps already in service it is very essential to equip the fuel
vessel with the complete wick assembly, as shown in figure 2. This change is required in order to
provide a positive vent so that there will be 110 tendency to build up a pressure within the fuel vessel
while the lamp is burning. The Bimetallic Unit is not applicable to flat burner lamps .
