TRADE. CONDITIONSCoincident with the calling of the strike in the anthracite region
in Pennsylvania on September 1, 1925, coal business in WesternMaryland began greatly to improve. As in previous years George'sCreek coal operators, and Western Maryland coal operators in gen-eral, have profited by suspensions of mining in the anthracite regionand the anthracite strike of 1925 was no exception. A number ofmines, especially those operating in the Bakerstown seam in thelower end of the George's Creek region began to screen coal for thepurpose of putting low volatile coal on the market as a substitute.for anthracite. This coal was well received by the retail coal trade.However, on October 12, the Interstate Commerce Commissionissued a circular granting reduced rates on prepared sizes of bitu-minous coal from Southern West Virginia to New England points,and this permitted the Pocahontas and New River coals to enterWashington, Baltimore and Philadelphia markets. The freightrate on this coal from mine to Baltimore was $3.60 per long ton.Baltimore retail dealers who ordinarily handle anthracite almostexclusively for the domestic trade, had been withholding theirorders for bituminous coal until this lower rate became effectiveand most of them at once placed orders for the West Virginia coal.As a result Baltimore was immediately flooded with coal from thePocahontas and New River regions, and only a small amount of coal.from Western Maryland was able to ge into the Baltimore market.All of this could have been avoided had Baltimore retail dea1erspurchased Maryland coal in the spring and summer months as theyhad good reason to expect an anthracite strike on September 1st..Moreover, the Maryland coal could have been purchased at muchlower prices than those later paid for the West Virginia coal.
Freight Rates:The freight rate on coat from Western Maryland to the Balti-
more market, $2.84 per long ton, continued in effect to the great dis-advantage of Maryland mined coal. In some instances coal wascontracted for at a mine price which was $1.00 per ton less thanthe freight on the coal from that mine to Baltimore, where the coatwas to be consumed. In many instances the freight was 60 to 75cents per ton more than the coal could be contracted for at the mine,and this together with the freight rate of $3.60 per ton fromSouthern West Virginia. was a serious handicap for Maryland-minedcoal. In spite of these obstacles the low volatile, free-burning, whiteash coal from Western Maryland continued to make inroads on an-thracite and it is be'ieved that a great deal of the domestic coal ofthe future, in the City of Baltimore, will be supplied by WesternMaryland coal operators. Some bituminous coal was used in City-controlled institutions. .

6 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
Labor Gonditions:During the entire year of 1925 there was a shortage of miners
in the Western Maryland coal fields which continued until the closeof the year. About three or four hundred former miners continuedto be employed by the Kelly-Springfield Tire Company in Cumber-land and a total of about 900 former mine employees were employedat the close of the year in Cumberland, by the Baltimore andOhio .Railroad Company and other industries in Cumberland andvicinity.
The total tonnage produced in Western Maryland coal field forthe calendar year 1925 was 2,694,477.11 net tons, which while butlittle more than half the tonnage of many previous years, still isgratifying as it shows a considerable increase over the tonnage forthe year 1924. This amount of coal is about one half of what theregion can produce on a full time operation of mines, even with thesmall number of present mine employes.
The region still continues to show the effects of the disastrousstrike of 1922-1923, which lasted from twenty to twenty-twomonths. It is believed that the unfortunate results of this strikewill be apparent for some time th come.

ONDITIQNS OF MARYLAND cOAL TRADE IN 1925
When the year opened there was a fairly good demand for coaland this continued during the month of January with coal at normalprices, but there was a decrease in demand during February whichreduced the normal output about thirty per cent, as compared withJanuary. During March the shipments declined to about 50 percent of normal and this depression continued into the month of July,showing an average output for the six months from February toJuly inclusive; of about thirty-five pet cent normal. During thisperiod the average price was depressed about thirty per cent and atthe lowest variation in priëes, eighty per cent of the better gradesof coal were sold under yearly contracts. .
I
$
With the beginning of August there was a decided improvementin output and prices . and during the remainder of •the year thegreater portion of the mines operated full time The market forprepared sizes for domestic use exhibited a great improvement indemand and some little advance in prices during September andthese grades continued in fair demand during the remainder of theyear. The average price on prepared sizes was $4.25 per net tonduring the last six months of the year. Slack averaged about $1.50per net ton, making a total average price on a Run-of-Mine basisof about $2.60 per net ton f.o.b. mines.
During the first six months of the year (1925), the domesticsizes sold on an average of about $3.00 per net ton, slack yielding aprice of only $1.20 per net ton. This made the average price pernet ton f.o.b. mine on a run-of-mine basis about $1.90 which wasmuch less than cost on prepared sizes, but it was overcome in thelast six months of the year, by the law of compensation, increasingand leveling the average price for the year to about $2.25 per netton on a run-of-mine basis.
LABOR CONDITIONS
There were no strikes or serious labor disturbances of any kindduring the year. During the first half of the year the labor supplyappeared to be ample for the amount of tonnage that the marketdemanded, but with the increase in shipments, commencing in July,the supply of labor was .not sufficient to produce the . tonnage re-quired and there ensued a universal shortage of thirty per cent ofmine labor which continued to exist during the last six months ofthe year. .

FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1925 9
As a result of the depression in the first half of the year and thedecline in the yearly contract prices, it became necessary to read-just tonnage prices and wages, and the prices and wages prevailingfor the year were as follows:
From January 1st to July 1st, 1925:Pick raining $.90 per.gross tonLoading coal after mining machines .70Cutting and scraping, varying according to
the seam and type of mining machine,from $12 to .16 " " "

FATAL ACCIDENTS
ALLEGANY COUNTY, 1925.
On January 12, 1925, Mr. David Williams, a miner employed bythe Piedmont and George's Creek Coal Company, Bowery FurnaceMine, located at Midlothian, Md., was instantly killed by being runover by the man-trip which he was supposed to be riding. Mr. Pat-rick L. Cullen and Mr. Alex. W. Allen were waiting at the mine en-trance along with Mr. Williams, to get on the man-trip and accord-ing to their statements they were the first to see the victim, andfrom Mr. Cullen's statement, it appears that Mr. Williams was inthe car (partly) when he noticed him and gave the signal to stopthe trip.
It is impossible to say just how Mr. Williams came to be runover by the trip but several things could have happened to causehim to lose his life. From the sworn statements of Mr. ArthurVogtman, the brakeman on the trip, he had gone on ahead to thefirst car so as to throw a switch at the lay-off inside the mine andit is the opinion of the Inspector that if the brakeman had beendoing what he should have done (himself see that all the men wereon the trip and then gone to the front end to be ready to throw theswitch) this accident might have been prevented.
Time of Accident—7 :00 A. M., January 12, 1925.Name of Injured—David Williams.Nationality—American.Age—55 years.Married—Yes.Children—Five.Residence—Frostburg, Md.Inspector—Frank T. Powers.
On Janhary 29, 1925, Mr. George Norman, a miner, employedby Burtner Coal Mining Company, Weternport, Md., was fatallyinjured, from which injuries he died the same date. Mr. Normanwas sitting in an empty mine car at the foot of the plane intendingto ride up the plane in the empty mine car which had not yet started.A draw-bar broke on the loaded trip which was being dropped overthe tip of the plane and the loaded mine cars ran away down theplane, the front loaded car passing over the empty mine car inwhich Mr. Norman was sitting, striking him and causing a fractureof the neck and lacerations to the right side of the jaw. Death re-suited instantly. -
Mr. T. S. Harris, Superintendent, stated that there was no suchtrip as a man-trip at this mine and the men had been instructed tostay off the trips. At the time of the accident there were no noticesposted on the tipple to this effect but Superintendent Harris statedthat these had been torn down.

On April 27, 1925, Mr. August Eichhorn, a driver employed bythe Maryland Coal Company, was killed by a fall of roof rashingsin 3rd right entry. Mr. Eichhorn was driving on the night shiftand was placing a car in 3rd right. In passing the main air courseswitch, the car jumped the track, knocking out the timbers and let-ting down tons of roof coal and slate which caught the deceased onthe inside of the car and covered him over. Mr. Henry Lintz andMr. Samuel Green, working in the third right entry, heard thevictim call for help. Mr. Lintz said that he released the mule fromthe car and brushed the dirt from the victim's face, then told hisbuddy, Mr. Samuel Green, to stay there until he could bring morehelp. Mr. Lintz testified at the investigation that Mr. Eichhorn wasdead when he arrived on the scene of the accident.

On August 6, 1925, about 5 P. M., Mr. William Alexander, aminer employed by the George's Creek Coal Mining Company, wasalmost instantly killed by a prop flying out and hitting him on thehead. The victim was working with three other men taking out astump in 2nd left off No. 4 Panel and they were loading their lastcar for the day when without warning a chestnut prop split and fellout hitting Mr. Alexander, who was shoveling into the car. Fromthe statements of the men working with the deceased, the man wasapparently only stunned and they did not think he was seriouslyhurt until he fell unconscious.
In the opinion of the Inspector this accident was unavoidable;the timbering in the place was good. There were no cuts or bruise
FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1925 19
marks on the deceased man's head and from the Doctor's statementhe died from concussion of the brain.

On September 17, 1925, about 7:30 A. M., Mr. James Loar, aminer employed by the Mt. Savage and George's Creek Coal Com-pany, No. 1 Mine, was fatally injured by a fall of draw rock, in No.8 room, in 15th Left Heading. Mr. Loar with his buddy, Mr. M. D.Morgan, had just entered their working place, and after examiningthe working place decided that they would set some props under thedraw rock at the face. Mr. Loar went back about 50 feet to get theax and just as he picked it up the draw rock gave way, catching him.
According to the testimony of seven men, who were in the habitof passing under this roof almost every day, this piece of roof wasnot thought to be dangerous.
As a means of preventing any more accidents of this nature, Iwill recommend that this rock be taken down as the coal is minedout, or sufficient timbers be put up to make it safe. If timbers hadbeen set on both sides of the track, this accident would probablyhave been avoided.

On February 7, 1925, Mr. Bert Sharpless, a miner employed bythe Hamill Coal and Coke Company, Trout Mine, was killed by afall of middle rock. Mr. Sharpless was mining coal in the face ofthe 4th Right Heading without setting sprags, when the middlerock fell striking deceased across shoulders and back of neck, caus-ing fracture at the back of neck.
This accident could have been avoided by the use of sprags orelse taking down the middle rock when mining. The Mine Fore-

On May 4, 1925, Mr. Joseph Stump, a miner employed by theManor Coal Company, Vindex, Maryland, was killed by a fall ofroof rock. The deceased was taking down rock when Mr. Evans,his buddy, told him to come out from under the rock as it was notsafe. He came back from the face, then returned to the face to gethis pick and while there piece of coal fell from rib. Mr. Evansagain called for him to come back; deceased started out and steppedunder piece of the falling rock. Mr. Evans had told deceased thatthe best place to go if the rock fell was against the face. Deceasedwould not have been caught if he had taken the advice of Mr. Evans.

On August 26, 1925, Mr. Clarey Liller, a miner employed by theHamill Coal and Coke Company, at their Hamill No. 2 Mine locatedat Kitzmiller, Maryland, was instantly killed by a fall of roof rock.
The deceased man and Mr. Patsy Pratt were employed in draw-ing pillars in 6th Left air course. They had loaded a car and pushedit out to the heading; upon returning to the working face they tookdown some dynamite rock which they threw back. After this,according to the testimony of Mr. Pratt, they took picks and exam-ined the roof. Mr. Pratt said that it sounded solid. Mr. Lillerstarted to shovel coal to the track when the rock fell, crushing thelife out of him instantly. There were two props set under the rockwhich fell, but so near the edge that the rock twisted them out.

On October 7, 1925, Mr. Derfy Knotts, a miner employed by theHamill Coal and Coke Company, Freeport Mine, located at Kitz-miller, Maryland, was almost instantly killed by a fall of roof rock.
There were no witnesses to the accident, but from the appear-ance of the place it would seem he was working at the face. Fromthe testimony of Mr. Reed, who was employed as driver in 5th RightHeading, it appears that deceased man knew that the rock was loosein his place as he had ordered timber to timber the same, which hedid, placing two props at the face.

On June 29, 1925, Mr. Thomas Strachen, a miner employedby the Hamill Coal and Coke Company, Hamill No. 1 Mint, locatedat Kitzmiller, Maryland, was injured by a fall of middle rock, whichinjuries later, November 19, 1925, resulted in Mr. Strachen's death.
Mr. Strachen was working under the rock on the left side ofhis place to a distance of about six feet. This rock is very dan-gerous and the employes are instructed to carry temporary propsunder the rock as they take out the coal from the lower part ofthe seam. The place was 15 feet wide and the rock that fell on Mr.Strachen was 6 feet long, 13 inches thick and 2 feet wide. Theplace was inspected by the Mine Foreman, Mr. J. Walker, on Sat-urday, June 27, 1925, about 10:00 A. M. and reported in good con-dition.At the time of the investigation no temporary props, used tosupport the middle rock, were found in the place, at the face,although the victim had a supply on hand to put under the rock toprotect himself.

On November 23, 1925, Mr. Earnest Paugh, a Machine Runner,employed by the Manor Coal Company, Clarion No. 2 Mine, locatedat Vindex, Maryland, was instantly killed by a fall of draw slate,in second butt off 2nd Left Heading.
Mr. Paugh and his helper had cut; the face of the heading andthe room neck which was being broken off at the face. The cutin the room neck had just been completed when the scraper orhelper took the tail rope and jack pipe back from the machinefor the purpose of pulling the machine from under the cut. Asthe machine was started the draw slate gave way, falling on themachine runner, who was on his knees, causing a fracture of theskull. The piece of slate which fell was 12 feet in length, 51/2 feetin width and ran in thickness from nothing at one end to 5 inchesat the thickest part. The fall occurred in the roadway and theplace was well timbered, 10 props having been set under the slate.
The Inspector's recommendation is that in order to prevent sim-ilar accidents the draw slate be shot down as soon as the coal hasbeen extracted in the entries which are being brushed.

On December 19, 1925, Mr. Thomas Wilson, a Miner, employedby The Davis Coal and Coke Company, Kempton (Mine No. 42),was killed by a wreck of loaded mine cars. The motor crew cameinto the heading where Mr. Wilson was working, with five emptymine cars. The cars were placed in the heading air course andNo. 17 room. Motor then made a trip to the straight heading andreturned to third left heading. The car in No. 17 Room was thenpushed up against the face, so as to permit the motor and cars topass the loaded cars. The loaded cars were then taken out andswitched and the empty cars placed. In the meantime the carthat had been placed in No. 17 Room had been, loaded. The loadedcars were then pulled out of the air course and pushed back intothe heading and coupled to the car at that point. The brakeman
FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1925 23
then walked to No. 17 Room switch; the miner, Mr. Wilson, wasstanding at the corner of the room, and as the motor passed, thesecond car struck the loaded car in No. 17 room. Apparently Mr.Wilson jumped and the trip caught him between the loaded cars.
The circumstances surrounding this accident are not clear, asthe only two persons present were the deceased and the brakemanand the brakeman did not see the accident.
This was the only fatal accident occurring in this mine duringthe period of this report. This Company pays particular attentionto mine safety and the accident is the more regrettable on that ac-count.

FATAL ACCIDENTSAt the beginning of the calendar year, 1925, the Bureau began
the practice of conducting an investigation into the cause of everyfatal accident. This plan has been followed for the last two yearsin at least one of the Inspection Districts in Somerset County,Pennsylvania, which County adjoins a portion of the Marylandcoal field. In the District referred to the District Mine Inspectorhas conducted a special investigation in the causes surroundingevery fatal accident. After the first fatal accident at a Marylandniine in 1925, the District State Mine Inspector in charge of thedistrict in which the accident occurred, proceeded to the scene ofthe accident as soon as possible after he had been advised of theaccident. As in previous years when such accidents have occurred,the District Mine Inspector made a personal inquiry and investi-gation as to the causes of the accident, at the place above or belowground, where the accident occurred, but in addition to the fore-going, in 1925, the District Mine Inspector hired a competentstenographer and proceeded to conduct an inquiry into the causeof the accident, summoning witnesses, placing them on oath, andquestioning these witnesses regarding the cause of the accident.All testimony was recorded by the stenographer and made a matterof record. These inquiries were the Mine Inspectors' own inves-tigations and hearings.
•Through these investigations some important facts surrounding
mine accidents have been developed and later regulations designedto prevent similar accidents will be prepared by the Chief MineEngineer to supplement the Mining Law.
24 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
A, study of the former reports of the Maryland State MineInspectors containing the Inspector's reports on fatal accidents,indicates that the men who have, at various times occupied theposition of State Mine Inspector, have not hesitated to state intheir reports of the investigation of the fatal accident, the causesof the accidents and have, in some instances, stated who or whatconditions were responsible for the accidents. It is believed thatthe Maryland Mine Inspectors' reports are unique in this respectIf State Mine Inspectors, after their investigations into the causesof fatal mine accidents, have the courage to state in their reportsof the investigation of the acêident, the responsibility for the acci-dent, a long step will have been taken in the cause of mine safety.
As in previous rears, most of the fatal accidents were due tofalls of roof and sides—66% per cent of all underground fatali-ties being due to this cause. The Bureau is paying special atten-tion to measures for reducing the number of such accidents. Inspite of the earnest efforts of the District Mine Inspectors, accidentsfrom falls of roof and middle rock continue to occur. The man atthe face—the miner—the one person who is most vitally concernedin such accidents, sometimes appears to be the least concernedabout them. Ofter he takes chances that he should not and resultsare too frequently fatal. The mine foreman, or his assistants, also,seem in some cases to be forgetful or neglectful of the responsi-bilities for the safety of the man at the face imposed on them bythe Mining Law. The Bureau is endeavoring to arouse the mineforeman and the assistant mine foreman to their responsibility forthe safety of the employes under their charge, and also to urgethe mine employe to use more care. Circular letters are issued bythe Bureau from time to time urging that care be taken to avoidmine accidents.
Haulage accidents continue to be second in importance to acci-dents from falls of roof or sides. These accidents are very muchmore puzzling, in so far as means to be taken to prevent theiroccurrence are concerned, than are accidents due to falls of roofand sides, for notwithstanding the measures taken by the DistrictInspectors to see that proper clearance is provided on haulage-ways, that trips are equipped with tail-lights, and trolley wiresare guarded at crossings, still almost daily some new sort of haul-age accident occurs and of a kind that has not been met with pre-viously, and which had not been considered as likely to occur. Thelargest company in the State; that is, the company operating thegreatest number of mines and having the largest number of em-ployes, had no fatal accidents among its employes during the year.This Company. The Consolidation Coal Company of Maryland, pre-vious to April 18, 1924, had operated for forty-six consecutivemonths without a fatal accident.
The Davis Coal and Coke Company, onerating only one minein Maryland, but having other mines in Pennsylvania and West
FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1925 25
Virginia, had only one fatal accident during the year and thataècident happened in December, 1925, and this in spite of constantvigilance exercised by the Company's mine officials.
CARE OF INJURED BY MINE EMPLOYEES
Undoubtedly several of the mine accidents occurring in themines of the Georges Creek District would have resulted fatallyhad it not been for the first aid rendered at the mine, the imme-diate ambulance service and the efficient hospital and surgical serv-ice provided at the Miners' Hospital in Frostburg. There is saidto be a record of an injured man being transported from the work-ing face to the Hospital, a distance of nine miles, by ambulance inforty minutes. In the Upper Potomac coal fields, unlike the GeorgesCreek field, there is no mine motor ambulance service and no localhospital facilities, and the only means of transporting injured mineemployes to the hospitals at Cumberland, 50 miles distant, is thelocal passenger trains on the Western Maryland Railway. Theinjured person receives immediate first aid, followed by surgicaltreatment, but must await the arrival of the regular local pas-senger train before he can be taken to the hospitals at Cumberland.The delay is very injurious and appears to lead to a higher fatalityrate from mine accidents in the Upper Potomac field.
In the cases of the twelve fatal accidents during the calendaryear 1925 the State Industrial Accident Commission awarded to thedependents of the victims $47,750. The dependents of nine out ofthe twelve victims received an average of $5,000 each, or $45,500;one victim had no dependents and hence there was no claim. Thedependents of another victim were awarded the amount of $1,500.Compensation in the case of another victim had not been adjustedat the time of the preparation of this report. Funeral expenses inthe case of ten of the victims amounted to a total of $1,250.
Since the average compensation awarded a victim of a fatal acci-dent who has a family dependent on him for support is $5,000, theBureau has but to be instrumental in preventing four fatal accidentsin order to cover the entire amount appropriated for the support ofthe Bureau.

REPORT ON THE SHORT COURSE IN COAL MINING
JUNE-JULY, 1925
The second Short Course in Coal Mining for Coal Miners beganJune 8, 1925, at Frostburg, Maryland. The classes were held at theState Normal School for the first three weeks, after which theywere transferred to the Beall High School Building. There weretwenty-one (21) miners and mine employes attending. Of these,eleven were sent by their respective companies, and ten came attheir own expense. The Director of the Short Course was Mr. L.C. Hutson, Vocational Mining Instructor, and he was assisted byMr. R. C. Fleming, Mining Engineer, District Mine Tnspector JohnB. Watkins, and several other volunteer assistants.
On June 13th, Mr. Elkins Read, General Superintendent of theMaryland Coal Company, gave a talk on Mining Methods as carriedout by his Company in recovering the pillars in the Big Vein. OnJune 15th Mr. Louis F. Gerdetz, Consulting Engineer, George'sCreek Coal Mining Company, Lonaconing, gave a talk before thestudents on the new method of longwall mining which has beencarried out for the past two years at Sonny Mine of this Company,Lonaconing, Md. On June 23rd, Mr. H. H. Hamilton of E. T. Du-Pont de Nemours & Company, Tnc., Uniontown, Penna., gave a veryinteresting talk and demonstration of the electric firing of shotsand of the new kind of black blasting powder which has just beenbrought out by his Company. On June 25th, Mr. R. F. Hamiltonof the Ohio Brass. Company, gave a very interesting demonstrationof electric rail bonding equipment at No. 10 mine of The Consoli-dation Coal Company, Eckhart, Maryland.
Tnterest was maintained in the Course throughout, although thenumber in attendance was not as great as last year. Consideringthe condition of the coal business in the State, the number enrolledand the interest shown was very satisfactory.
One very gratifying evidence of interest was the attendance oftwo Frostburg youths, both under the age of seventeen, who in-duced their parents to work on the night-shift with them in orderthat they might attend the morning sessions.
Among the courses of special interest were those of MiningMethods as taught by Dr. Rutledge, Electricity in Mines by Mr.Fleming, and the new course in Coal Mine Costs which was givenby Mr. John A Shore, Secretary of the Hamill Coal and Coke Com-pany. So far as known this is the first instance of Coal Mine Costsbeing taught in a Course of this kind.
