MINES ARE IN bad SHAPE
THIS AND EMPLOYMENT OF IN
COMPETENT MEN CAUSES
ACCIDENTS
COMPENSATION Law NEEDED
PRECEDING LEGISLATURE, HOW
EVER, FAILED TO PROVIDE
THE COMMISSION

Denver Dec. 3.-Because his de-
partment itself has not complied with
the law he did not feel like proceed
| ing against the mine foremen and fire
bosses for negligence and other Of
lenses against the Colorado mining
code. said James Dalrymple, chief
state inspector of coal mines, at the
second days hearing in the investi-
cation Of the coaa miners strike be
fore the Industrial relations commits
sion.
The inspector explained that ac
cording to the law mine foremen and
other executives had been certified
men. They were not. because no ex-
aminations had been held This was
because there were no funds to derray
expenses. The department, therefore,
has not required that f6remen, fire
bosses and other officers Of mining
companies be certified.
In the past, Dalrymple said, the
duty Of enforcing the law was laid on
the mine operators. Now it is laid
on the state, but there has been no
increase Of the working force as q re-
suit.
At the opening of the hearing
George A. Carlson, governor-elect,
took the stand but said he had moth
ing to add to his testimony Of yester-
day. He was excused Immediately
DairympIe said he believed it neces
sary to have state employees com
pensation law, and told Of an unsuc-
cessful attempt several years ago to-
put such a plan in operation because
the $1,000 appropriation was classi-
fled so low that it never was reached
and the commission dissolved.
He said the members, including J.
C Osgood, seldom attended the meet
ings. The extra hazardous condition
in Colorado mines and the decreasing
competency of the miner Dalrymple
declared responsible for an increased
number Of mine accidents in smaller
mines.
Asked by Commissioner Weinstock
IL the law gave him discretionary
powers to discharge uncertified exc
outives, the witness said he had re-
ported every uncertified man found
to the operators and had gone as far
al funds and force in his department
permitted.
Miners offered Concessions

told Governor Ammons that they
