On February 24, 1943, about 9 :10 A. M., Oliver Parry, a machinehelper, employed in Nine No. 10, The Consolidation Coal Company,Eckhart, Md., Tyson coal seam, wasP fatally injured by a fall of roofrock.

Mr. Parry was working with Mr. John Wright, and was moving a24 B Jeffrey Mining Machine and it became necessary to move sometimbers. Mr. Wright said he sounded the roof and it appeared tohim to be solid and would not fall. He knocked ont one prop and movedthe machine back, and the machine knocked out another prop. He thenmoved the mining machine out on the No. 11 Butt Right. Mr.Parry then prepared to set a Jack to swing the Cutter Bar of themachine around, when, without warning, the roof fell, catching him,breaking his back. He died in the Miners Hospital, Frostburg, onMarch 5, 1943.

Mr. Dawson was working aloie and the motorman placed him twocars at 8 :30 A. M. on October 12. He had been in the habit of loadingtwo cars and going home about 12 :00 or 1 :00 o'clock: etery day. At6 :00 P. III. the family called Mr. George Crowe, the SUerintendent ofthe mine, saying that Mr. Da*son had not returned from work. Mr.

On October 15, 1943, aboilt 7 :00 A. M., Frank J. Kirby, coal miner,employed in Wolf Den Mine of the Wolf Den Coal Corporation, Shall-mar, Md., Kittanniiig coal seam, was fatally injured by a fall ofmiddle roof rock.

Mr. Kirby was instantly killed by a fall of roof rock in No. 11 roomoff 3rd Butt Heading. He had just entered his working place and ap-parently was in the act of reaching for his shovel, which was in thegob, when a large pot in the roof gave way, dislodging a prop, whichcrushed him beneath it. He was dead when fellow-workers came inhis place a few minutes later. The accident happened about 28-ft.back from the face of his working place on the straight track. Hisplace had been cut by the machine and he had just c¼me in the mineon the man-trip.

Time of Accident—October 15, 1943, about 7:00 A. M.Date of Death—October 15, 1943.Name of Injured—Frank J.

Rowe.Time and Date of Inspection—October 15, 1943, 11:30 A. M., by In-spector Frank T. Powers, accompanied by Mine Foreman Roy Butts.

RECOMMENDATION--Closer examination of roof over roadway. Tim-bering with cross-bars would have prevented this accident.

REMARKS—This No. 11 room and the cross-cut where Mr. Kirby wasworking were well timbered with the exception of the roadway.The accompanying picture will show that the dislodged prop wasset under the edge of the large rock that fell on Mr. Kirby.

FATAL ACCIDENTS—1943

The first fatality of 1943, February 24th, Oliver Parry, occurredin a mine where the coal seam is quite thin, and it is not alwayspracticable to set cross-bars in the limited height, particularly whenthe coal is being mined by machines.

The fatality of July 31, 1943, J. T. Boyce, was due to a fall ofa pot in the middle rock in the Kittanning coal seam. Most of thefatal accidents in this seam are due to falls of pots in the Middle Rock.

The fatal accident of September 11, 1943, happened to Robert Tyson,Trackman and Timberman, who was engaged in pulling down looseroof rock over a fall.


The Dawson fatality, October 12, 1943, was in the Bakerstown coalseam, due to fall of bone in the roof. There is a tendency on thepart of some miners to neglect the proper support of this bone coal.

The fatality of October 15, 1943, Frank J. Kirby, was allother acci-dent due to the fall of a pot in the Middle, or roof, rock, in theKittanning seam. As shown in the photograph the working! placewas well timbered but the fall occurred over the roadway. The mhñngmachine cuts immediately under the roof rock in this mine, and thereis practically no clearance between the top of the mining machine andthe bottom of the roof rock, and it is not practicable to put barsacross the roadways.

The fatal accident of November 10th, 1943, -John Morgan, is the onlyfatal haulage accident of the year. Little information regarding allthe circumstances surrounding this accident was available. The opera-tor of the haulage system, on the surface, received a signal from Mr.Morgan and stopped his hoist and sent a surface man down into themine workings to investigate. The surface man, when he arrived atthe scene of the accident, said that Mr. Morgan walked over to thebeiich on the cross-hading and sat down, and when the surface mangot help and took the injured man outside, he did not appear to bebadly hurt. Apparently he was crushed through the chest and severelyshocked.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN FIRE CLAY MINING

1943

One of the most important developments during the year 1943 wasthe opening up of fire clay stripping on Negro Mountain in GarrettCounty, Md., by the Union Mining Company of Mt. Savage, Md. Flintfire clay of good quality was found, practically at the grass roots,after some diamond drill prospecting by the Union Mining Company.The clay was stripped by power shovel and loaded in trncks andhauled twenty-seven miles to the main brick plant of the Union MiningCompany, Mt. Savage, Allegany County.

Garrett Cotinty thus enters the field which has been occupied almostentirely by Allegany County since the inception of fire clay mining! iiiWestern Maryland.

Some fire clay has been exposed by coal minfng operations in otherparts of Garrett County but thus far there has been no titilization ofthis in the manufacttire of brick products.

LABOR CONDITIONS—i 943

There were no serious labor disturbances Ill the coal or fire claymines during the year. In George's Creek District mine employeesdid not work On Moilday, March 31st, and they were also idle duringthe first few days of June, beginning work on June 7th, and worked tomidnight Sunday, June 20th. They begun work again oii Thursday,June 24th.

In the Upper Potomac District the mines in the vicinity of Kitz-miller, Garrett County, were idle from October 28th until November9th approximately. There is some slight variation in these dates butthe above is about the average. The Kempton No. 42 mine was idleon three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 1st, 2ndand 3rd, and on Thursday afternoon, November 4th, the night shiftwent back to work.

During the entire year the operators complained of scarcity ofmen and absenteeism. All of the mines were short-handed; especiallywas this true of skilled men like electricians, rope riders, hoist opera-tors, etc. Many young men were taken for military service and thesewere often from among drivers, motormen, brakemen, etc., who werevery important employees in the operation of the mine.

There was some complaint from the larger mines of smaller minestaking the men from the larger mines. Mine discipline was very poor.In some, mines there was practically none.

FOR CALENOAR YEAR 1943 37

REPORT OF VOCATIONAL MINING EDUCATION

School Year, October 12, 1 942—July 23, 1943

L. C. HUTSON, Vocational Mining Instructor.

Report on the Night Mining Classes

The Night Mining Classes, conducted by the Maryland Bureau ofMines, in cooperation with the University of Maryland, The StateDepartment of Education and County Boards of Education of Alleganyand Garrett Counties opened their sessions, October 12, 1942 andclosed May 22, 1943.

Classes were conducted in both Allegany County and GarrettCounty by Instructor Hutson.

Organization and Schedule

The classes met weekly, with the3 exception of holidays, for a periodof thirty weeks. The subjects studied were as follows: Coal MineVentilation, Air Coursing, Map Reading, Coal Mine Gases, Explosives,Mining Mathematics and First Aid to the Injured.

The Night Mining Classes were organized aid conducted at thefollowing points:

FINZEL:Number of men enrolled 20Average age of students 51 yearsAverage previous educational preparation 7 yearsNew mQn enrolled 13

BARTON:Number of men enrolled 20Average age of students 43 years.Average previous educational preparation 7 yearsNew men enrolled 7

VINDEX:Number of men enrolled 9Average age of students 29 yearsAverage previous educational preparation 11 yearsNew men enrolled 2

KEMPTON:Number of men enrolled 10Average age of students 38 yearsAverage previous educational preparation 7 years

CRELLIN:Number of men enrolled 17Average age of students 31 yearsAverage previous educational preparation 7 years


Summary

Total number of men enrolled 76Average weekly attendance (5 classes) 46Average attendance, Kempton Class 10.5Average attendance, Finzel Class 10.0Average attendance, Barton Class 9.6Average attendance, Crellin Class 8.3Average attendance, Vindex Class 7.6Average age of men enrolled 38 yearsAverage previous educational preparation 8 yearsAttendance of men enrolled 60%New men enrolled (29) 38%Miners enrolled (23) 30%Officials enrolled (25) 33%Students enrolled (3) 3%

Concluskn

Due to the fact that only five Night Mining Classes were organizedand conlucted this year, instead of the usual ten, the enrollment totalis much smaller than that of previous years. Transportation restric-tious also were factors, in the reduced enrollment. Above all, was thefact that Selective Service, since their age bracket was the same asthat from which we normally draw the bulk of our enrollment, we hada much smaller group of young men left to become interested in ourprogram.

All things considered, the attendance was very steady, and thishelped in some degree to compensate for the small enrollment.


REPORT ON THE SHORT COURSE IN COAL MINING—1943

L. C. HTJTSON, Director

The twenty-first annual Short Course in Coal Miiiing, held atBarton, Maryland, conducted by Maryland Bureall of Mines in cooper-ation with the University of Maryland, The State Department ofEdilcation and County Boards of Education of Allegany and GarrettCounties, opened June 14, 1943, and closed July 23, 1943.

The six weeks of the Course were held in the Barton High Schoolbiilding, at Barton, MaryJand.

Instruction Staff and SubjectsL. C. Hutson Explosives—Coal Mine Ventilation—Map Reading—Coal Mine

Gases—Mining Arithmetic—Haulage—Drainage and Pumping.J. J. Rutledge Mining Methods.

Conclusion

The average age of the students was 35.5 years.

The average daily attendance was 10.4, with an enrollment of 14 men.

Due to war time crniditions, while the duration of the Course wasthe usual six weeks, the daily class period was curtailed, togetherwith the number of subjects, and due to transportation restrictions,the enrollment was restricted to a limited area.

All of the men enrolled worked their full shift at the mile each day,and then attended the three hour sessions ill the evenings. Withtheir written work, this was a heavy load, but it was carried cheerfullyand willingly.

Summary of the Night Mining Classes' and the Short CourseTotal number of men enrolled 90Average weekly attendance (Night Mining Classes) 46Average weekly attendance (Short Course) 52Total Night Mining Classes held 137Total Short Course Classes held 87Total Classes held 224Average attendance per class 9.5 men
