A few weeks ago we had something
to say about mining accidents showing
that the tendency among mine mana
gements is to eliminate them lust as
much as possible. Superintendent are
studying them their causes are arm
ing against them. Mining captains
are more on the alert.
This condition has been heightened
a great deal by the drastic laws of
Minnesota which really seem hard
chip on the mining companies of the
state. However, all those things have
their good points and the Minnesota
laws are not destitute of result. They
have been the means of making the
mine arrangements more particular in
their selection of workmen. The mat
ter was recently canvassed very care
fully in "A conference OF Oliver Super
intendents at Duluth and as a result
workmen are looked over" more
infinitely than heretofore.
One means OF better selection is
a blank which has recently been issued
TO all mines of the oliver compan y
which contains list Of questions
touching upon the applicant stability,
faithfulness and descent, which must be
signed by said applicant before a job
van be secured
This looks upon It's face like an ex.
cellent move and IL will probably be
followed by the other mining com
panies OF the Lake Superior region. II
