In connection with the split-lOg type
of drag. In this case only two of the
cross braces have their ends fitted into
auger holes like rungs.
In fastening the draw-chain to a
sawed-lumber drag, it is usually advis-
able to run both ends of the chain
through holes in the front runner or
else make the connections by means
of eye or hook bolts, as shown. The
reason for this is that the sawed cross
braces are seldom sufficiently strong
to withstand the pull of the chain
when it is looped over them, as is fire.
Quently done when round timber cross
pieces are used. If straight-grained
pieces are used for the crosspieces,
however, there is no apparent reason
why one end of the chain might nOt'be
connected by looping it around the 215-
inch square crosspiece near the cut
ting end.

METAL. Mine WORKERS
TO PRESENT DEMANDS

At we'll attended meeting of the
Metal Miner Workers Union of
America, Tuesday night the ques-
tion of bad working conditions di-
vided honors with the question of the
rising cost of living, these questions
took nearly all the time of the meet
ing.
1t was reported that there are more
men being crippled in the mines now
than ever before, in spite of all one
hears about the so-called safety
first" movement, which usually con-
sists of few advertisements in the
Sunday papers and monthly pub
lication of the A. G. M. with few old
hairy jokes in it. The miner would
like to see real honest-to-goodness
mine inspector come around the
mines in Butte and stop this unnec-
essary manning of the workers; that
is why they have been trying since
1914 to get their own committees on
this work, for they all know that
hundreds of these every day accidents
CD could be avoided with a little
common-sense safety first.
The high cost of living was taken
up and prices in February, 1918,
when the last cut in wages took
place, were compared with the pres.
ent prices, which are so much higher
than three months ago. Finally 9
motion was passed instructing the
executive committee to formulate de
mands to be presented to the mining
companies for raises in wages and
safe working conditions, also shorter
hours, abolition of the contract anG
bonus system. The executive com
mittee was instructed to report de
mands next meeting.
