STATE'S MINING
ATTRACTS NOTICE
Notable Feature of the Confer
ence of Mining Officials of
the United Stales
Pennsylvania, its work for improve
ment of conditions in mines and its
workmen's compensation system were
very much to the front in discussions
in a notable convention of State mine
inspectors and representatives of in
dustrial compensation commissions,
the result of an invitation issued by
the Secretary of the Interior to the
governors of the various States, just
concluded in Washington. There were
thirty State and Federal officials pres
ent in addition to a large number of
representatives of insurance organiza
tions, and others interested in the
matter of safety as related to indus
trial plants. All present were thor
oughly convinced of the necessity of
•standardizing all data relating to the
reporting of accidents, and their
classification, such as has been done
in Pennsylvania. One of the princi
pal objects of the meeting was to
bring about a co-operative arrange
ment between the various State or
ganizations and federal bureaus in

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
terested in tile collection of statistics'
relating to the mining industry.
With I he \ iew of simplifying the col- |
lection of statistics and at the same j
time relieve the operator of render-j
ling so many reports, it was the con-1
sensus of opinion that ligures once!
collected by a State organization
should be sufficient for all purposes,
jand that the operator should not be
called upon to render another report j
of a similar nature, ft was the pur*
pose of this meeting to so standardize;
and broaden the requests for data, st> j
as to include in one report sufficient!
information for the State mine inspec- j
tor, the industrial compensation com-
I mission and federal bureaus.
! The question of the calendar year i
j was brought up and all agreed that!
j t lie calendar year should be adopted.:
J and the representatives of the States 1
| wherein the fiscal year is at variance i
| with the calendar year pledged them-
I selves to do all they could to bring
| about, legislative enactment to have I
the calendar year adopted. One of the !
j principal arguments in favor of the j
j calendar year was that with the en- !
I actment of the federal income tax law. |
i a report under oath was required of
| the exact financial conditions of the!
I company on the 31st of December.
This law being federal applies to all
of the States, and is an important,
argument in favor of the calendar'
| year.
The principal questions discussed at
the meeting were the matter of stand
jard forms for recording and publishing
\ matter relating to mine equipment,
j labor and accidents. The data relat
-1 ing to mine equipment has in its !
| scope a form for a directory of mines,
in actual operation during a calendar'
'year; data relating to power equip
iment; ventilating equipment; mining
! methods; and haulage Systems,
j With reference to accidents, a stand -
| ard form was discussed that related
to fatal and nonfatal accidents so that
sufficient information could be evail
able for anyone interested in the study
l of accidents. The forms discussed
; were so grouped and general in their
character as to include not only coal
and metal mines, but metallurgical
j plants, quarries, and coke ovens.
A committee on resolutions was
j appointed with Frank Hall, deputy
chief of the Pennsylvania Department
| of Mines, as chairman, and the con
i vention next accepted the report of
! the committee, and its chairman ap
; pointed a committee to prepaid an
official report of the proceedings of
the convention, to be published by
the Bureau of. Mines as a bulletin and
to contain copies of all of the stand
l ard forms pro rosed and discussed at
I the meeting. Nearly all the dozen or
I more forms are adopted from the
I Pennsylvania forms.
; The coal mining industry is repre
sented on the committee by James K.
[Roderick, chairman, chief of Depart
ment of Mines, Pennsylvania: James
Dalrymple, chief inspector of mines,
Denver, Colorado; the metal mining
industry is represented by George H.
j Bolin, State mTne inspector. Phoenix,
Arizona, and W. B. Orem, State metal
mine inspector, Helena, Montana, and
the other members of the committee
are L. W. Hatch, chief statistician.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
! engineer, bureau of mines, as secrc
| lary of the committee.
There was a formal discussion con
cerning (lie standardization of mining
i laws and regulations as relating to
safety in coal mines, the point being
made that the miners are migratory
and in going from one State to an
other a different set of laws, rules, and
regulations is encountered and with
which they are not necessarily fami
liar. It was unanimously agreed that
ithe Bureau of Mines draft a standard
|set of rules and regulations for coal
mines, similar to .that prepared bv
the bureau relating to metal mines
and published as Bulletin No. 75.
Another point very freely discussed
I was the adoption of certain universal
j danger signals, so that a miner from
one State would meet the same type
jof signals in a mine in a different
! State, and it being the same as that
used in the mines where he formerly
! worked, ho would at once recognize its
j meaning. W. L. Chandler, of the
National Safety Council,, extended an
I invitation to the State mine inspectors
j representatives of industrial commis
sions, and the Bureau of Mines to as
isist in the establishment of universal
j danger signals in hazardous industries.

PHONES REPLACE WAITERS
Telephones are being used in one
of tlie restaurants at Plainfleld, X. J.,
as substitutes for waitresses, says the
January Popular Mechanics Maga
zine in an illustrated article. Instru
ments have been installed at each of
the several tables and permit (he
Kuests to communicate their orders
direct to the kitchen without suffer
ing delay. The activities of the wait
resses arc confined solely to the serv
ing of food. To simplify the system,
each menu on the card is numbered
so that a patron may render his order
numerically. A switchboard opera
tor makes a record of all orders and
attends to the issuance of the checks.
The guests are privileged to use (he
telephones for outside calls and like
wise may receive incoming messages
without leaving their respective tables.
