MINING CONGRESS
NOVEMBER 1913
Standardization COME renee
Called to Enlist Cooperation
of Mining Men in Working
Out Or Standard Methods.


Denver, Colo, Oct. 29.--One of
the important features of the Twen
ty-ThiIsd Annual Convention of the
American Mining Congress in DEN
yer, November 1919, will be the
First Annual Standardization Con-
ference. It will be largely a meet
ling Of mining men representing
the industry in the West togeth-
er with manufacturers.
1t has been well said that the
difference between standardization
and non-standardization, is the
difference between good and bal
management.
Standardization involves uniformi-
u of methods and materials. Meth
ods more particularly refer to
book keeping, marketing, etc. Ma
terials rsfer to machinery Of all
Z sSs1ifls
Standardization if generally
ad pied, would mean vastly in
creased production and tend TO
safety.
standardization of life saving de-
wees, if generally adopted, would
mean, from humanitarian stand
point, the saving of many lives
every year, and from a monetary
standpoint, the avoidance of great
losses.
Standardization is the basis of
mass production, with relatively
reduced cost, such as is shown IN
the Ford factory output of autos,
also in other large factories, and
IN large mines, some of which, af-
ter years of study and testing, nave
standardized their methods and r
terials within the last few years.
.esulting in increased output and
reduction of production cost per
ton.
At the present time the entire
mining industry is wrestling wit
difficult economic problems. The
necessity for operating with grea.-
er economy than ever and the
working out of plans to cope with
the labor situation are becoming
more and more apparent.
The First National Standardiza-
ton Conference has been called to
enlist the cooperation of mining
men in the working out of stand
ord methods, standard equipment
and standard labor saving devices,
which may offset, to a large ex-
tent, the present high cost of pro-
llnction and shortage of skilled la
hor.
Standardization is particularly
;nportant in large enterprises, but
would be very beneficial to small
operators. For MISUNDERSTANDING
ization Of bookkeeping would be
found of great value in small coal
mines. as in many eases small ope-
rators are unwjare of actual cost OF
mining ton of coal. This fact
was clearly brought out in the in
vestigation by the Government IN
Tho coal mining industry during
The past two years in an effort TO
,qualize miners wages.
The Standardization committees
and Sub-Conalnittees comprising
ever 200 mining engineers, mine
managers, manufacturers and GOV
arnment officials, began their work
Two years ago, and held their first
Annual Joint Meeting during the
e2nd Annual Convention OF the
American Mining Congress in s..
Le1lis last year. They are now d.
stdjng their work into two gener-
II subdivisions metal and coal
