SAFETY RULES
Oliver Iron Mining Company Adopts
New Rules

The Oliver Mining company
through its president, w. J. Olcott
has issued new rules to the workers
which if followed will reduce accl-
dents materially. The company is
determined to do all in its power to
prevent accidents. The rules con-
tain the following summary of ac-
cidents and the way to prevent
them:
The cause of accidents in and
about mines, and the development
of measures and appliances for
combating and avoiding them, have
for many years past, been the sub
jects of careful study and expert
mental investigation, at the hands
not only of practical men possess
ing special knowledge and expert
ence in connection with mines, but
also of eminent authorities in
science and its applications.
It is, however, only recently
that practical application has been
made for such knowledge and a
systematic effort put forth to make
safer operating conditions and to
investigate the causes of accidents

avoided. If it is necessary to use
physical force to keep employees
from being injured, then that
method should be carried out.
I'VE have recently installed on
the various ranges and districts
rescue apparatus to be used in case
of fire or other emergencies. 1t is
urged that men be kept in constant
and efficient training, so as to Sc
cure the best possible results when
occasion should arise for use of
same.
while fires or serious explo-
sions are not of frequent occurrence
in the iron mines, we know that
many lives and valuable property
could have been saved in the past
by the use of this apparatus.
These accidents occur when least
expected, and therefore it is ex-
pected that practice and training
in this work be regular and active
so as to be prepared at all times.
This is not only an appeal to
the employees of the company to
observe every rule for the safety of
themselves and of others, but it is
also a direct order from the COM
pany to every superintendent, min
ing captain, foreman or other per
son having authority over its en-
ployes, to make them take every
possible precaution to prevent ac-
cidents or damage.
1t is not suggested that every
one who at any time may be remiss
in the slightest degree should be
Immediately discharged, but every
one who has been remiss in the
slightest, should be made to realize
that he has failed in what was ex-
pected of him. If anyone is negli-
gent and shows an unwillingness
to give his best efforts for the safety
of himself and his fellow -workmen
or if he is unfit to perform the
work of the company, then his ser.
vices should be dispensed with.
If, by careful inspection and
study and by the active cooperation
of all employees, we can materially
reduce the number of fatalities and
accidents, we will render a most
valuable service to the company

RATES CUT AGAIN
Parcel Post Rates Receive Another
Acceptable Cut

On January 1st another change
in the parcel post rates goes into
effect which will prove of untold
benefit to the patrons of this sys-
tenn throughout the country.
On and after that date the limit
of weight of parcels of fourth-class
mail for delivery in the fist and
second zones will be so pounds in
stead of 20 pounds as now. The
limit weight in the other zones will
be 20 pounds instead of IL as now.
This means that SO pounds can
be shipped in the first and second
zones at a cost of S cents for the
first pound and l cent for each ad-
ditional pound. At this rate SO
pounds can be shipped to or from
Duluth and several places below
Duluth for total of 81 cents.
The rate of postage on parcels
exceeding four ounces in the third ,
fourth, fifth and sixth zones shall
be as follows:
Third Zones cents for the first
pound and 2 cents for each addi-
tional pound or faction thereof.
Fourth Zone-7 cents for the
first pound and 4 cents for each
additional pound or fraction.
Fift Zones cents for the first
pound and E cents for each addi-
tional pound or fraction.
Sixth Zone-9 cents for the first
pound and 8 cents for each addi-
tional pound or fraction.
On and after March 10Th, 1914,
the classification of articles mail
able under the Act authorizing the
establishment of the parcel post
services shall be extended to in
clude books. The rate of postage
on books weighing 8 ounces or less
shall be one cent for each two
ounces or fraction thereof and on
those weighing in excess of 8
ounces the regular zone rate shall
apply.
The express rates will also be
reduced after the first of the year
with substantial cut. g.

in and around mines.
1T is the policy of the Oliver
Iron Mining Co. to guard all
dangerous machines and places and
to make all operations as safe as
possible. Large sums OF money
have been expended up to date,
and to the end that both the COM
pany and its employees may reap
benefits commensurate with the
time, thought and money spent to
reduce the number of accidents,
the earnest cooperation of all EN-
ploves in the enforcement of the
safety rules is urgently requested.
This matter of safety is the
most important part of our opera
tions. We must have safety, but
in order to secure the best results
we must also have hearty co-opera-
ton. Let the example of the older
men in the service be an influence,
a guide to bring the younger men
up to right standard, thereby de-
creasing the risk of death and in
| jury for all, and at the same time
increasing the efficiency of our
organization.
Every man should make him.
self a committee of safety. Each
rule should be enforced both in
spirit and letter; they should re-
ceive the broadest Interpretation
possible and Our endeavor should
not only to do what the rules sug'
gest, but as much more as we pos,
sibly can to prevent injury or accl,
dent.
"The work is now we'll started
and I strongly urge continuance
of the endeavor to improve ano
perfect the present mechanical
safety appliances, as well as to de
wise further methods or appliances
that may in any way reduce the
number of accidents around oul
mines.
Realizing as we must that {
large percentage of Our employees
derive no benefit from the installa
tion of mechanical safety appliances
I strongly urge the instilling ii
Our foremen the Importance of les
sening the number of accidents, &
matter which may best be accom-,
plished by constant agitation and {
systematic compilation of all acci
dents, setting forth our careful anC
careless foremen, proper recogni
ton of the former and the prompt
removal of the latter. Care should
be exercised in the proper selection
of men for various occupations
Heavy, slow moving men should
not be placed on jobs where light
and active men are required
Work Systematically planned anc
carefully executed will tend to re
duce the number of accidents.
Remember that it is the little
neglects which happen every day
and which bring about so. many o
these accidents. 1t will avail littl'
to have rules unless they are car
ried out and strictly enforced
1 would therefore urge that eacl
man make himself a committee o
safety.
