FATAL ACCIDENTS CALENDAR YEAR 1937
Tilden Boor was killed on January 26, 1937. Mr. Boor and hisson had been working on the night shift and they were the only twomen working on the night shift. The day on which the accidentoccurred the son was not with Mr. Boor. Mr. Boor came to the mineabout 11:00A.M.A day or two previous two miners had complained of some loose
roof rock in the manway and the District Mine Inspector had ex-amined the roof and found some loose roof and after a conferencewith the mine foreman and members of the Pit Committee, hadgiven the order that the regular manway could not be used until theloose roof was taken down and the manway made safe. Meantimebetween 7:00 A. M. and 2:00 P. M. no one could travel on the haul-ageway, but before 7:00 A. M. and after 2:00 P. M. the haulagewaycould be used as a manway until the regular manway was madesafe. This was understood by all the employees and particularlyby the outside employees. It was distinctly understood that no onecould go in on the haulageway between the hours of 7:00 A. M.and 2:00 P. M. without the express permission of the Mine Fore-man.
Mr. Boor came to the mine about 11 :00 A. M. and started up theincline towards the mouth of the mine, and was overtaken andbrought back by the company weighman, who reminded him ofthe order prohibiting the use of the haulageway. He was broughtback to the tipple by the company weighman and said that he under-stood that he was not to use the haulageway except with specialpermission. The company weighman went on about his business anda short time afterwards he was advised by telephone from the mineworkings that Mr. Boor had Ieen struck by the trip.
Mr. Boor had gone in against orders and, as evidenced by thecondition in which he was found and the location of his cap and pitlamp, he had been struck by the tail-rope. He may have fainted andfallen on the rope as he was reputed to be in poor health and underthe care of a physician. At any rate his death is direcfly due toviolation of the orders of the Inspector and the Mine Foreman.
Allen Clarence Butler died on March 20, 1937, as the result of anaccident in Manor No. 1 Mine of the Manor Coal Company, Vindex,Md. Mr. Butler was reputed to 'be an inveterate cigarette smokerand one who rolled his own cigarettes. He was on his rounds carry-ing some pellet powder and had reached No. 9 room, 11th Butt, 3rdLeft, and was at a point about 34 feet from the face of the workingplace when the accident happened. Two men were at work at theface of room No. 8. A combined cable reel and trolley electric haul-
30 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
age locomotive was in No. 9 room. The trolley pole was down andthe 'ocomotive was about 34 feet from the working face. Beforehe died Mr. Butler stated that as he passed the locomotive therewas a flash and then a second flash and he was burned. The two menwho were at the face of No. 8 room drilling, stated that they felt orsaw a flash and then a second one. Mr. Butler stated that the firstflash occurred as he was passing the locomotive. The two men atthe working face stated there was so much smoke at the face ofthe room that they came out on to the butt heading and soon afterMr. Butler came down to the heading. His clothing was afire andthey extinguished it and then gave him such first aid as they could,and took him in a trip to the outside and turned him over to adoctor.
As previously stated the explosive used in this mine is pelletpowder and waterproof canvas carrying bags are provided by thecompany in which to carry it. No trace of a bag could be found afterthe explosion. Mr. Butler may have been carrying the explosivein a burlap sack or on his person. No trace of any such sack couldbe found.
An examination was made of the locomotive and there was noplace where any insulation had been burned off the wires as wouldhave occurred if there had been any serious grounding. Moreover,two employees and an electrician examined the locomotive after-wards and were not able to find any defects in the wiring or insula-tion and the motor was brought to the outside under its own power.
The deceased undoubtedly contributed to his own death, eitherby dropping a lighted cigarette into the pellet powder or by hisopen carbide lamp falling on the powder.
In some instances miners tear the paper covering off the pelletpowder, especially on the ends, as they think in this way they addto the efficiency of the explosives. At other times broken sticks ofthe powder are used and these are easily ignited.
This is another case against black powder. There was no evidenceof arcing on the motor and the trolley pole was fastened down.This was a combination trolley and cable locomotive and the caNewas two-wire cable.
Elisha C. Spiker died on April 29, 1937, as the result of the fallof the main roof. He was killed instantly. There are many mudslips and smooth slips in the roof of this Six Foot Mine and it isnecessary to pay special attention to the roof for this reason.
Mike Chitona and Joseph Dennis, Sr., were killed by a fall of mid-dle or "dynamite" rock. Apparently Chitona was in the act of set-ting a prop when the fall occurred. This was a double fatality and
FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1937 31
since both men were killed undoubtedly the timbering regulationshad not been completely carried out.
These are two more fatalities chargeable to the middle rock inthe Six Foot Seam of the Upper Potomac Region.
Gorman Jenkins was injured by an ignition of powder on Sep—tember 15, 1937, and died on September 17, 1937. Mr. Jenkins wasworking in a small mine in an isolated region in Garrett County. Hewas working by himself. He ordinarily worked in the mine at ShadeRun but when he had no other work he operated this small mine andsold the coal locally. He was sharpening a coal auger and had somepowder in a paper sack lying on the window-sill in a small shacknear the mine mouth. In some manner the powder became ignitedand expoded and burned Jenkins about the head, face, chest andback. There must have been other powder in the shed for it wasburned to the ground.
Jenkins made his way to the home of his uncle about two milesdistant and was taken to the hospital at Meyersdale, Penna., wherehe received treatment and where he later died.
On the day of the accident the District Mine Inspector and theChief Mine Engineer passed near this mine on other business andprobably were within a short distance of the man when the acci-dent occurred. The Bureau had never received any reports of pro-duction from this mine and did not know of its existence, it beinghidden in the timber and not visible from the road. This is one ofthe best arguments for bringing all mines, especially these smallisolated mines, under the provisions of the Maryland Mining Law.
The deceased was a splendid worker. He left a widow and fivesmall children and his family is now on relief and have no com-pensation.
This is one more fatality to be charged up against black powder.
Urban Shea died as the result of an accident on October 13, 1937.This is a very mysterious accident. It seems strange that nothingwas known of the accident until some time after it occurred. Fromthe meager facts surrounding the accident it is surmiSed that thepony objected to turning into the working place and Shea, the driver,tried to get him into the working place and in the resulting scufflethe pony tangled in the harness and Shea was knocked from hisfeet and the car ran over him.
Thomas Danahey died on December 1, 1937, from an accidentwhich occurred on the same day. This is not a real mine accidentas the deceased was a trespasser and was killed by a fall of coal
32 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
on the tipple and was really on railroad property when the accidentoccurred. Men and boys, and sometimes women, crowd around thetipples in spite of the best efforts of the inspector to keep themaway.
Harman Michaels was injured on December 2, 1937, and diedthe same day. This is another small mine fatality, the mine justrecently coming under the jurisdiction of the Maryland Bureau ofMines. The deceased stood the examination for mine foreman inAugust, 1937. In these small mines there often obtains the prac-tice of the mine foreman working as an ordinary miner. When suchis the case he cannot give proper supervision to the safety of theemployes.
Edward Chester Clark was killed on December 9, 1937, by a fallof main roof in a Six Foot Mine of the Hamill Coal and Coke Cm-pany. This young man was working with his father. The mine fore-man had been in the working place before the accident occurred.Probably if the roof had been properly tested this fatality wouldnot have occurred. This young man was an honor graduate of theKitzmiller High School and his being cut off in such early life isdeplorable. A hard hat might have saved this young man's life.

TRADE AND LABOR CQNDITIONS—1937
During the year 1937 there was considerable idle time, largelydue to the demoralization of the selling price as a resu't of a Courtdecision. However, one mine in the Upper Potomac Region ranalmost constantly and established a record for continuous opera-tion. A few of the small mines ran very steadily but, except duringthe coldest part of the year, the larger mines only operated one-halfto one-third of the time.
There were no labor troubles of any importance and the sameJoint Working Agreement, which prevailed in 1936, was still inforce in 1937.
There was considerable deve'opment in Garrett County in theregion immediately about Grantsville. This was about the onlynew work of any importance.
IMPROVEMENTS
The Midlothian Mine, located at Midlothian, of the George's CreekCoal Company, Inc., sank an air and escape shaft 100 feet in depthto the Tyson seam.
The Consolidation Coal Company re-opened the old New HopeOpening in the Big Vein seam above Borden Yards. This openingwas fitted with a ventilation fan of the Aerodyne type. This givesan escape-way from No. 4 Mine of the same Company at Eckhartand is a very important improvement.
PROSECUTIONS
There was one prosecution of a small operator in Garrett Countyfor operating a mine employing more than five men when no certi-fied mine foreman was employed.
SAFETY ORDERS
No real Safety Orders were issued, but several suggestions weremade by the District Mine Inspectors regarding improvements tobe made in methods of timbering and in ventilation.
LEGISLATION
During the 1937 session of the State Legislature several billswere introduced concerning the Maryland Bureau of Mines. Onebill proposed to change the qualifications of the Chief Mine Engi-neer. This failed to pass.
A bill was introduced which was identical with a bill introducedin the 1927 session of the Legislature, which provided for the
—
72 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
removal of the office of the Maryland Bureau of Mines from Balti—more to Cumberland. This bill also failed to pass.
Another bill extending the jurisdiction of the Bureau to allmines, large and small, was amended to include all mines employingfive or more men and was passed. Previously, under the originalAct, a mine employing ten or more men came under the jurisdictionof the Bureau.
A bill was passed restricting the tenure of Temporary Permitsfor Mine Foremen. Heretofore, Temporary Permits could be re-newed from year to year. The new bill prohibits the renewal ofTemporary Permits.
Senate Bill 349, known as the "Bootleg Coal Bill," imposes theduty of issuing weighmaster licenses for solid fuel on the Bureauof Mines.

CONCLUSION
The average weekly attendance together with the enrollmentwas lower this year than usual, due to a variety of unfavorablecircumstances that were beyond the control of the Instructor.This apparent lack of interest was to some extent offset by thesplendid work performed by some of the students enrolled in eachof the classes. Too much credit can not be given to some of theformer members of the Night Classes for their cooperative effortsin assisting the progress of the members enrolled. The results oftheir efforts were reflected in the increased enrollment in the ShortCourse this year.

CONCLUSION
All of this year's classes were smaller both in enrollment andattendance, as compared to last year. However, what they lackedin quantity they made up in quality. Some very good work wasdone in all of the classes, and in my opinion, many of these men
78 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
will make a mark for themselves anywhere they may be in theindustry.
Some of this year's classes were held in small communities wherethere had not been any classes previous to this time. In these com-munities there was not a great deal of material to draw from,but it gave some men an opportunity to attend the classes who didnot have this chance before. The results were gratifying and itwas well worth the effort.
Of the total enrollment, 47 were new men; this number repre-sents 71 per cent of the enrollment.

CONCLUSION
The average age of the students was 37.2 years. The youngeststudent enrolled was 20 years of age and the eldest, 63 years. Ofthe total enrollment of 24 students, 20 were part-time students;that is, they were working on the night shift, or were workingpart of the day shift, and attending such classes as they couldfind time for. In spite of this handicap, the average attendanceper day, for the six-week period, was 17. The enrollment this yearwas the second largest since the inception of this Course, and thequantity and quality of the work performed was exceptional. Oneof the noteworthy features was the increased attendance this yearfrom Garrett County, there being a total of five men enrolled fromthat County.
