RECOMMENDATIONAll overhanging ledges of rock or bone must besupported by sufficient timber.

(Note): Even a single prop, had it been set, would have prevented this.accident. This is the first fatal accident occurring underground inthis mine since it was opened in 1916.

On November 16, 1934, about 12.10 P. MI., Mr. Edward Jenkins,Mine Foreman, Mr. W. H. II. Thomas and Mr. John Whiteman,assistant foreman, employed in the Bowery Furnace Mine ofMcNitt Coal Company, wQrking the Tyson seam of coal, locatedat Midlothian, Md., were instantly killed by a fall of roof rock,while extending a side-track switch in 2nd South Headiig. Othermen who were working with the deceased men were Mr. JamesJenkins, Superintendent, Mr. Joseph Horton, Electrician, Mr.henry Wime, laborer, aiìd Mr. Simeon Whiteman, laborer. Theyhad just walked out from under where the fall occurred to eattheir lunch.

It appearsthat the three foremei remained to talk over somematter after the other men stopped for lunch, as some of themen testified at the hearing that the last thing they saw was Mr.Edward Jenkins and Mr. Thomas standing along the right-handrib talking, and Mr. Whiteman was over towards the left ribsounding the roof.

Forty-pound steel rails were used for cross-bars where theI all occurred and some 6x6 timbers had been removed on accountof dry-rot and the steel bars were hitched in the rib rock, somehaving very little hold in the rock; 3x10 wood lagging 10-ft. longwas left in place when the steel rails were set. It is possiblethat some of this long lagging had extended over the steel barsand if the ends were not supported could have acted as a lever

to turn out the steel bars when the weight came on them, as itis evident that all of the bars were bent sideways and none ofthem was found broken. No wooden bars were found under thefall and five steel rails were found bent sideways, apparentlyafter turning out by the fall.

No testimony was offered to show that the place was con-sidered dangerous before the fall occurred, and the men whowere killed in the accident were the officials in charge of thedaily operation of the mine, and all were experienced mine fore-men and some of them would have surely detected the dangerouscondition if it were possible to do so.

The length of the fall was 30-ft., the width of the place was10-ft., the thickness of the rock was from 2-ft. to 2-ft. 6-in.

RECOMMENDATION—It is apparent that steel rails will not do as cross-bars in coal mines under any condition as they give no warning andbecome crystallized after use in mine track. They also turn out veryeasily when any weight comes on them.

Inasmuch as this accident is the most serious disaster in thehistory of the Maryland Bureau of Mines, it has been thoughtadvisable to publish a resume of the investigation. It is worth--while to state in connection with this matter that since its organi-

zation the Bureau has published aunua reports giviug the detailsof all fatal and non-fatal accidents.

With respect to fata' accidents, the District Mine Inspectorsmake investigations of the circumstances surrounding suchaccidents and also summon witnesses, and take the sworn testi-mony of all persons having any knowledge of the accidents andat the coflclusion of such investigations,: the Inspectors makerecommendations for avoiding similar accidents in the future.

Such an investigation was held in the above mentioned acci-dent. The officia's aid employes of the McNitt Coat Company,having knowledge of the accident and the conditions surround-ing it, testified freely and willingly. Both District Mine In-spectors and the Chief Mine Engineer conducted the examiirn-tion.

The conclusions are based on the evidence given at the hrspectors' hearing and on observatiois made by representativesof the Maryland Bureau of Nines at the scene of the disaster.

DetailsA party of men composed of the deceased, and Mr. James

Jenkins, Mine Superintendent, Mr. Simeon Whiteman, laborer,Mr. Henry Glime, laborer, and Mr. Joseph E. Horton, electri-cian, were at work in the Second South Entry, and were en-gaged in extending a side track which was laid at the place wherethe fall occurred. Mr. Whiteman and Mr. James Jenkins wereengaged in fixing a bolt on the frog of the switch and Mr. Ed.Jenkins had just arrived from a tour in another part of the mineworkings. Mr. James Jenkins, immediately after Mr Ed.3 enkins' arrival, went a short distance away to get some waterfor his carbide tamp. Mr. Ed. Jenkins had just called for awrench to screw up the boils on the switch frog and Mr. Thomasstated that he knew there was one on a car a short distanceoutbye the point where the fall occurred.

Immediately after the accident occurred, a number of mineempoyes arrived at the scene and quickly extricated the bodiesof the deceased. Soon after 1.00 P. NI. all of the bodies were•out of the mine.

Conditions Surrounding the AccidentThe Bowery Furnace Mine was formefly owned and operated

by the Piedmont and Georges Creek Coal Company. The McNittCoal Company took a lease on this property in October, 1932,

and began to ship coal in August, 11933. Meantime, the McNittCoal Company made some repairs to the timbering on the mainslope and in another part of the mine. Just outbye the pointwhere the accident occurred, the roof had been brushed to aheight about 5-ft. up to a solid stratum of rock. At this placethe bottom also had been lifted to a depth of 5-ft. or 6-ft. inorder to improve the grade at that point. The entry thus im-proved had originally been timbered with 6x6 Pine cross-barsset on round prop legs and the 6x6 cross-bars were lagged with3"xlO"xlO' Pine planks, running lengthwise of the entry. Thistimbering was done in a workmanlike manner and was sub-stantial. It is understood that this work on the heading and thetimbering above described, was done in 1931.

An examination of such pieces of timbering as were availableafter the accident, especially the Pine cross-bars, showed thatthey had experienced considerable dry-rot, probably as a resultof the mine being idle and unventilated for the several monthsbefore it was taken over by the McNitt Coal Company, and whilethe Piedmont and Georges Creek Coal Company was in the1ands of a Receiver.

Presumably, at the point where the fall afterwards occurred,the roof was timbered originally with the 6x6 cross-bars, butthe roof over this parting was lower than that portion of theentry immediately outbye the parting. Apparently, in the workof re-timbering, the McNitt Coal Company officials noted therotting of the Pine crossbars and substituted therefor 40-lb.Tfiron railroad rails. Probably these bars were thought to bestronger than the Pine cross-bars, and, as they took up lessspace than the Pine cross-bars, the 40-lb. steel rails were used toreplace the Pine cross-bars. The steel rails were "needled" orhitched into the ribs on each side of the haulway. The haulage-way at this point was approximately 10-ft. wide and possibly5-ft. to 6-ft. high. It was impossible to say definitely the exactoriginal height, after the fall had occurred. Under some of theends of the steel rails short props from 2-ft. to 3-ft. in lengthhad been placed in lieu of the hitches. This was done at pointswhere it was not possible to make hitches. There was 3"xlO"xlO'wooden lagging over the T-rail cross-bars.

After the fall occurred, an inspection of the scene developedthat the solid rock about 8-ft above the fall was quite moist, andapparently that portion of the roof which had broken way hadbeen parted from this high rock for some time and had been

Page 42: MARYLAND BUREAU or MINES · 2020-02-05 · 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES was 34,493.09 net tons (ewt.). This shows a production of 734 net tons for each miner during

resting on the steel timbers. The shale or slate roof which fellvaried in thickness from two to two and one half feet.

On the left hand rib the shale roof showed some iron-stainedstreaks as if water had percolated from the hard rock roof abovedown through the shale on this left rib. On the right hand rib,at the point where the fall had broken away, there were verypronounced jointings running into the rib, making an angle fromS to 10° with the course of the entry. These joints dipped at anangle of about 60° with the vertical and from 8 to 1Q° to theright of the course of the entry, and undoubtedly these jointingshad a very material effect in causing the fall. It could not beknown that these joints, or slips, or so-called "cutters'', existedbefore the fall occurred, as they were not observable until afterthe fall took place, and it may possibly have been, though notprobable, that a few of the props may have been slightly dis-turbed, and this may have induced the fall. It was necessary touse wooden bars to support the hangers for the trolley wire,hence there may have been some wooden bars at the point wherethe fall occurred, though when the fall was cleaned up the in-spectors did not find any such wooden bars. However, therewere wooden bars inbye the fall. The long wooden lagging didnot always have their ends on a bar, where they came together,and the fall may have occurred over the point where the jointsin the lagging were made, and this may have started the fall, andthe pressure from the right-hand rib, where the joints in therib rock had undoubtedly previously opened, led to a swingingof the entire mass of roof as a whole towards the left rib. Thatthis is probably the case is shown by the condition in which thesteel bars were found when the fall was loaded out.

The T-iron rail had been obtained on the property and ap-parently had been used in the tracks on the surface about themine. These rails had not been obtained elsewhere, and cer-tainy were not procured from the electric street railway on theGeorges Creek Boulevard, which railway had been abandonedduring recent years. All of these rails which had been used forbars varied in length from 11-ft. 1-in, to 11-ft. 10-in.

Rail No. It, which was the first one on the outbye end of thefall, was of 40-lb. steel, bent across the ball of the rail; that is,bent as a rail would be bent if laid in a track. This piece was11-ft. 2-in, in length and had been bent in such a shape that themiddle ordinate of the chord was 1-ft. 1-in, in length. This railshowed no signs of fracture.

28 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES

Rail No. 2, which was the second one found going inbye thefall, as the fall was cleaned up, was 11-ft. 10-in, bent in the shapeof a crescent and the ordinate of the middle chord was 1-ft. 1-in.in length. There were no signs of a fracture and the rails hadnot been recently cut.

Rail No. 3 was 11-ft. 10-in, in length and was bent as it wouldbe bent if it had been intended for laying in a railroad track,and the straight portion of the rail was 7-ft. in length and thecurved portion 4-ft. 10-in, in length. The curved portion wasbent up above the rest of the rail a distance of 3-ft. 7-in, Thewooden lagging had been cut into by this rail to a depth of %-in.Clearly this rail had been forced against the solid left rib by thepressure coming from the right rib and the condition of this railis one of the main reasons for saying that the fall started on theright rib.

Rail No. 4 consisted of two straight pieces of 40-lb. T-ironrail, the one next to the left rib going inbye was 2-ft. 1-in, longwith a fresh fracture. The piece was straight without anybending. This piece was found lying directly on the bottom andmatched up with another short piece, presently to be described.

A piece of 3 or 4-strand wire was found wound around thispiece and the cut trolley-wire; this had evidently been put thereto hold the trolley wire up after the trolley wire had been cut,before the fall took place. Had this not been the case the poweron the trolley would have burned out the piece of strand wire.Another short piece of rail, 2-ft. 10-in, in length, was foundumnder the fall near the other short piece.

No. 5 bar was a 40-lb. T-iron rail 11-ft. 2-in, long, bent in acrescent shape very evenly, the ordinate being 1-ft. 6-in, long.

No. 6 bar was 40-lb. steel rail 6-ft. 2-in, bent; remainderstraight. There were only six rails and the short pieces foundunder the fall. A short piece of rail 6-ft. long was found ontop of the fall. This short piece was found where the bodies ofMr. Thomas and Mr. Jenkins were found. This did not matchthe short pieces found under the fall.

One of the criticisms frequently of the conditions in this mineafter the accident was that the steel railroad iron used for sup-porting thefl roof had crystalized and that this was the maincontributing cause of the accident. With the exception of thetwo (2) short pieces of rail above referred to, all of the railswhich had been used for cross-bars were found to be bent fromthe stress induced during the fall of the roof, and none had beenbroken from the strain. This effectually disposes of the charge

Page 44: MARYLAND BUREAU or MINES · 2020-02-05 · 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES was 34,493.09 net tons (ewt.). This shows a production of 734 net tons for each miner during

FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1934 29

that the rails had been crystalized as the short pieces were notpart of a bar.

The width of the entry where the fall took place was approxi-mately 10-ft. Mr. James Jenkins testified that they were ex-tending the lye under the point where the fall occurred in orderto take care of from 20 to 24 cars. They were also intending toraise the wire to avoid burning the rope. The rope would comein contact with the trolley wire under this low point in the roofwhere the fall occurred. The fall was approximately 30-ft.long. The clearance was on the right-hand side.

No wooden bars whatever were found under the fall. All thesteel bars were either hitched into one or both ribs or had oneend supported on short pieces of prop.

The fall was entirely cleaned by the morning of November 23.The clearance in this heading is on the right-hand side, or onthe rib where the jointing, which had a material part in causingthe fall, existed. A shallow overcutting of coal had been startedover the coal on the right rib at the parting at a point 18-ft. fromthe outbye edge of the fall and inbye to the inbye end of the fall.This over-cutting in the middle portion was 20-in, deep andtailed out to 5-in, deep at each end. However, the rock rib didnot appear to be broken and it is not probable that this over-cutting had any effect in causing the roof to fall. The manage-ment realized that it was necessary to get the clearance on thisrib, hence they arranged to take coal off this rib after the switchhad been extended. If the lower portion of the roof, whicheventually fell, had parted from the hard rock above, and ap-parently this had been the case, and the joints on the right ribhad opened, there would have been a dead weight resting onthese T-iron rail bars. Any slight movement or jar would havecaused this mass of roof material to move towards the left riband to fall without any warning. Had there been fresh woodentimbering, there would have been some warning given by thefracture of these timbers.

The evident plan of operation had been to take a certain por-tion of this roof down over this lye in order to afford roomenough to prevent the tail-rope from coming in contact with thetrolley wire and thus burning the rope.

All of the deceased, in fact all of the men engaged in the work,were experienced men and had spent their working life-time inthe mines. Their judgment was good and undoubtedly theythought that the roof was safe enough to work under.

The pillaring of the Big Vein seam beneath, some years ago,may have had some effect on inducing this fall in the Tysonseam.

All the important mine officials concerned with the operationof the Bowery Furnace Mine and who were best informed as tomining conditions in this mine, are dead. The men concernedin the accident, both the deceased and the survivors, werethoroughly experienced in the workings of this and other minesand their judgment should have been good.

On November 26, 1934, about 6.30 P. M., Mr. Andrew Laslo,Sr., a miner employed on the night shift at No. 1 Mine, The Con-solidation Coal Company, Ocean, Md., working the Big Veincoal seam, was injured by a fall of roof coal, and died about fivehours later in the Miners' Hospital, Frostburg, from shock.

Mr. Laslo was about to fire a shot in the bottom coal and hadbored the hole and crossed in the rear of the car that was in theplace to get the tamping bar and needle and was returning fromthe right side of the place to the left in the rear of the car, whenthe top coal fell catching him. The size of the fall was about4-ft. long and 3-ft. wide and about 22-in, thick. He was workingwith Mr. William Stevenson, William Donald and Alex. Donald.Mr. William Donald ran for help after the fall occurred and metMr. Felix Foote, the night foreman, coming in the place at thetrap-door off the main slope.

From the size of the fall it appears that the men working withMr. Laslo became excited, as they could have removed the fallin a short time, but they were afraid of another fall, and whenMr. Foote, the foreman, arrived, they built a crib over Mr. Lasloto protect him in case another fall came, and it was about onehour and fifteen minutes before Mr. Laslo was removed fromunder the fall. From the investigation it appears that poorjudgment was exercised in getting this man out from underthe fall.

RECOMMENDATION—A change should be made in work of this character,that either a rock and timber crew do this kind of work, or, if minersare called upon to do it, that it be completed under the supervision ofa competent man before any coal is loaded.

On February 28, 1934, about 4.45 P. lvi., Mr. Woodrow Beavers,.a machine helper employed in the Frog Hollow Mine of H. J.Ross Coal Mines, Inc., (Carroll Pattison, Receiver), working, theBakerstown coal seam, was instantly killed by a fall of roofrock, in the face of butt heading off main heading.

The victim was helping his father cut coal and had about com-pleted this place, working at the rear end of the machine, whenthe roof gave way and a piece of rock measuring about 8-ft. widead 8-ft. long and 3-ft. thick, fell catching him. His father, Mr.Ralph Beavers, was very seriously injured by the same fall.The last prop to the face of the place was 9-ft.; the machine hada six-foot cutter-bar and had just about completed cutting.According to the testimony given at the hearing, held iii theoffice of District Mine Inspector C. J. Rowe, March 8, 1934, afall of rock occurred in this place on February 27th, 1934, ex-tending from the face outby for about 30-ft. The day shift,after cleaning up the rock, loaded a few cars of coal beforethe machine-men came in to cut the place on the night shift onFebruary 28, 1934. Twenty-four mine cars were loaded withrock out of the fall that occurred on the 27th.

CONDITIONS SURROUNDING COAL MINING IN MARYLAND

DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 1934

During the calendar year 1934, there was not as much activityamong all the mines in Western Maryland as there was duringthe latter half of 1933. The mines of The Consolidation CoalCompany, the largest operating Company in Maryland, workedpractically five days a week, which was as much as the Codewould permit, but the mines of some of the other companies,especially the smaller ones, did not work as many days. Especi-ally was this true of those mines in the lower end of GeorgesCreek which cater to the domestic coal business.

Page 100: MARYLAND BUREAU or MINES · 2020-02-05 · 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES was 34,493.09 net tons (ewt.). This shows a production of 734 net tons for each miner during

FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1934 8

There was an insistent demand for Big Vein coal and it wasnot possible to supply all of the demand for this high grade fuel.Some of the companies introduced screening methods for theBig Vein and Tyson coals. Up to recent years the coals inneither of these seams have been screened. Since the inceptionof mining, the coals in these two seams had been placed on themarket as run-of-mine coal.

In the last two or three years there has arisen quite a demandfor so-called "stoker" coal. This formerly included everythingfrom about 1¼-inch diameter down to slack, but more recentlyhas included only the slack coal. This size coal is used inmechanical stokers.

There continues to be a demand for lump coal mined ii theBakerstown seam. Some of this coal was trucked distances asgreat as 150 to 200 miles in adjoining states to Maryland. Therewas an increased amount of coal transported by trucks in 1934over the amount so hauled in 1933.

The difficulty in mining the Bakerstown coal was in finding amarket for the slack. To produce the lump sizes of this coal itis necessary to screen the coal and this results in considerableslack and it is almost impossible to dispose of this, and yet theBakerstown mines cannot produce the lump coal unless they canmarket the slack. The railroads furnishing the cars will notpermit the accumulation of their equipment loaded with slackand remain unbilled at the mines. Some method of cleaning orbriqueting this slack coal, improving its quality and saleability,is highly desirable.

The introduction of the Code rules removes some of theadvantages that the small mines had had over the larger minesin that the smaller mines were compelled to pay the same ton-nage and day wages as the larger mines paid and though thesmaller mines objected strenuously to the imposition of suchrules, they were forced to comply with the Code rules.

The inspection of mining and loading operations continued tobe excellent and the quality of the coal loaded was uniformlygood.

There were no labor troubles. The mine employes are prac-tically 100 per cent. organized at the present time.

CONCLUSION

The enrollment and attendance, this year, was slightly smallerthan last year. The quality of the homework improved consid-erably. The results accomplished, in all the classes, was veryencouraging.

The Jennings class was the largest during the period in whichit was conducted. This was a new location and the interestmanifested in the work was very gratifying.

There were seventy (70) new members enrolled in all classes.This number represents forty-eight (48) per cent of the totalenrollment. Of the total enrollment, six (6) students haveattended classes for eleven years, and twenty-three (23) studentshave attended classes for more than five years.

It is pleasing to note that several students, former miners,who have received instruction in the Night Mining Classes, andwho from necessity have obtained employment in other indus-tries, have continued to advance in their adopted occupations.

CONCLUSION

The enrollment for this year was the second largest since theinception of the Course, being only exceeded by the enrollmentof 1924, the first year the Course was held, when 32 men wereenrolled. The enrollment for this year was 22.

The average age of the enrolled students for this year was30 years. Of the total enrollment of 22 men, 14 were part-timestudents, either working on the night shift or attending only ondays the mine was not working.

In spite of the broken attendance time of some of the students,this year's Course was undoubtedly one of the most successfulin the eleven year period. The students were of more thanaverage ability, and the quality and quantity of the written workwas exceptional.

The attendance of two students from two of the most remotemining sections of Garrett County was very gratifying.
