MINE MISHAPS
WELL HELD DOWN
Chief Button Says That in
Spite of Abnormal Condi
tions Statistics Are Fair
During the first five months of
1918 there were 368 fatal accidents
inside of the coal mines of Penn-j
sylvania and 71 outside as compared
•with 379 inside and 52 outside, in
the same period of 1917, according to
figures by Seward F. But
ton, state chief of mines.
Chief Button says that this is a
Rood showing. "That there should
be a decrease in the number of fa
talities inside the mines under the
present conditions when every effort
is being made to push production to
the utmost, with the inevitable dis
regard of some of the rules of safety,
is convincing evidence that the min
ing operations of Pennsylvania, not
withstanding their magnitude are
carried on with a remarkable degree
of efficiency and with unusual care
for the welfare and safety of the em
ployes," said he. "The dangers that
are always present in the mining of
coal have been augmented to a con
siderable extent by the employment
of inexperienced men as a result of
the drafting of many of the more
competent miners."
The chief says that the increases
in outside accidents was due prob
ably to inexperience of workmen who
operate the cars or are engaged in
such work as brings them close to
the cars and in order to overcome
these dangers he has given instruc
tions to inspectors and officials
throughout both the anthracite and
bituminous regions to give special
attention to this phase of work until
conditions are normal.
Children Use Telephone
to Ask Time Before School
While the number of telephone
calls asking the operator for the
time of day was considerably lessen
ed following the request of the Bell
Company recently that this practice
be discontinued, it is found from rec
ords that there were still quite a few
such calls coming in. It was also
found that! these calls were, for the
most part, made between 8 a. m. and
a. m. and between 1 p. m. and 1.30
p. m.
Upon investigation it was found
that children were responsible for
what few requests there were for
the time of day.
The theory was advanced by one
telephoneman that the public, seeing
the request of the company and real
izing its importance, refrained from
asking the operator for the time of
day, but neglected to tell their chil
dren about it and, as a result, the
youngsters were about the only ones
to use the telephone for such re
quests, and they did their asking just
before the school hours, when every
body at home was too busy to answer
the question, or the children could
not tell the time from the clock, or,
it was pointed out, possibly the
youngsters found that a good way to
imitate their elders in using the
telephone.
"It is very gratifying," said Local
Manager Fetter, "to know that the
public realizes what a help the discon
tinuance of this practice will be. It
takes an operator just as long to an
swer a question as to the time of
day as it does to complete an ordi
nary connection, and it is this time
only—and not the expense—that we
wish to save and put to the more
important uses of the war program.
If this need can be explained to the
children, I am sure that within a
few days we will find that a great
amount of time and equipment will
lie saved, for the children are as
quick to help as are the adults."
