Another Gateway for Mine Forcmansulp
Opened by Legal Opinion.
"FOR" AND "OF" DISTINGUISHED
Deputy Attorney-General Elklns Interprets
a Mine Law and Says Laborers, Loaders,
Starters, Repairmen and Others in
the Mines are Miners.
Deputy Attorney General Elkins has for
warded to Mine Inspector Stein, of town, a
written legal opinion on tho Interpretation
of the word "miner" as used in the Mining
Law of 1891. Mr. Stein received the opinion
late yesterday afternoon and tho Herald is
enabled to give tho full text.
Tho ruling is a rosult of a discussion at a
meeting of tho Board of Mino Inopectors
held in Shamokin about three weeks ago,
when Inspector Stein, as secretary of tho
Board, was instructed to write the Attorney
General and ask for his interpretation of tho
word .
Tho ruling is a very important ono bearing
on tho coal mines of this state. In fact, it is
ono of tho most important olllcially made in
bover.il years, as it places within tho reach of
almost overy workor in tho mines of proper
age and education a boon which hus hereto
fore been considered tho fortune of only such
men who havo had years of experience in
actually cutting coal ; and it would not bo
surprising if tho applicants for examination
for mino foremen certificates should multiply
in groat numbers as a result of this opinion.
Tho quostion as submitted by Inspector
Stein was whether tho word "miner," as
used in Article VIII, Section I, of tho An
thracite .Mining Law, approved Juuo 2nd,
A. D. 1WH (P. L. 170), is to bo confined in its
application to the person who actually mines
and cuts the coal, or whether it may include
laborers, loaders, starters, roadmen, repair
men and others who work in tho mines, hut
who do not actually cut coal.
Deputy Attorncy-Geuoiul Klkius, in his
opinion to the Inspector, says :
The seitlon nhovo referreil to provider for the.
granthu of certificates of qualifications ly the
iSecretary of Internal Affairs to Mine Foremen
and Assistant Mine Foremen who passed i
satisfactory examination before the Ho.ird of
Examiners and who have had live years' prac
tical experience as miners. The question your
inquiry raises is what constitutes "practical ex
perience as ii miner1 within the meaning of
the law, or, in other words, docs the above
phrase require actual experience in cutting or
digging coal.
Webster defines tho word "miner" as "One
who mines; a digger for metals and other min
erals." I do not undcr-tand that a miner must
necessarily be a digger ok minerals. The dcllui
tion Is satisfactory if he is a digger nm minerals.
A person mlghtho a lone; time dieter for min
erals and -ct never actually mine theiu. Then,
again. Article XVIII of the Act herein before
mentioned, under the head of "Definition of
terms," contains the following, to-wit: The
term 'mine' includes all underground workings
and excavations ami shafts, tunnels and other
ways and openings; also all such shafts, slopes,
tunnels and other openings in course of being
sunk or driven, together with all roads, appli
ances, machinery ami materials connected with
the same below the surface.
"If. then, the term 'mine.' ns used in this Act
of Assembly, embraces all underground work
ings, excavations, shafts, tunnels, other ways
and openings, etc., it must necessarily follow
that a person who works in any of the places
included in this definition is u miner within the
meaning of the law. 1 do not think it was the
intention ot the Legislature to limit the right of
examination to a particular class, of persons who
work in the mines, but rather to include all
classes of miners who have had five years prac
tical experience in working in u 'mine,' as
defined in tho Act of Assembly."
In tho same document in which tho above
opinion is incorporated Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Klkius gives an answer to a question as to
whether it is necessary that a Mino Foreman or
Assistant Mine Foreman should examine tliu
workings of a colliery to see that they aro prac
tically safo and freo from explosive gas, or
whether this duty can bo performed by a firo
boss.
On this point the Deputy Attorney-Oeneral
says: "When the mine foreman cannot person
ally superintend tho entire mine, he has au
thority to employ a sullicient number of "com
petent persons to act us assistants." Upon the
proper construction of this phrase depends the
answer to your question. The Act of Assembly
Itself does not set the exact standard of quali
fication for assistants thus employed. It only
provides that they must be "competent persons"
to uct in this capacity. This law was passed as
a protection to the persons who work in the
mines and that construction should be given it
x Inch will most neaily accomplish this result.
Inasmuch, therefore, ns tho law hits provided
for certain qualifications on the part of those
who act as mine foremen ami assistant mine
foremen, it would seem to be in the interest of
tho public, good to require that any assistant
employed by them should have a certificate of
nimllllcilt Ion. ns rcnlllrcil hv lull' Sued c.rHfl-
cafes aro granted only to mino foremen nnd as-
stunt mine foremen : hence 1 am of theoninlon
that these assistants should havo such u certifi
cate of qualification before they are employed
as 'competent persons' to act under the prois-
lons 01 tnojaw.
