LABOR HEADS,
OPERATORS
AGREED
BY A staff Correspondent

BY A Staff Correspondent
RICHMOND, Jan. 30.-A new
and up-to-date mine law, agreed
to by labor and by mine owners,
was dropped in the hopper Of the
Virginia house Of delegates today
by Delegate Henry M. Brandy,
Wise county.
One of the outstanding features
Of the proposed legislation is the
establishment of a board to GER
tify mine foremen and assistant
mine foreman. This board would
consist of the chief mine inspector
and two of his district inspectors,
a miner and a mine operator. The
latter two are to be appointed by
the Governor for four-year terms.
The proposed law also defines
every mine job or occupation.
Employment of fire bosses in
gaseous mines is made mandatory
and it will be their duty to order
men out of the mines and keep
them out when dangerous gas
conditions are noted. They would
not return to work until the con-
dition was corrected.
Maps Required
AL coal operations would be
required to keep on hand maps
showing the openings, shafts,
slopes, entries and airways. Ar
rows would be used to show the
direction of ventilation. A mini
mum ventilation of $50 cubic feet
per minute for every person in
the mine is another requirement.
In gaseous mines the fans are to
be operated on a 24-hour basis,
and in such mines the men are
to be ordered out Immediately
upon the stopping of fan or the
falling of slate.
In the ventilation sections of
the bill it is provided that not
more than 60 persons work in
the same air current in any mine
in which dangerous gas is gen.
Grated. The fire bosses would be
required to keep log books on air
conditions in such operations.
Telephones and speaking tubes
connecting all levels and sections
with the surface are made manda-
tory.
Another safety precaution, long
sought by some miners and opera
tors, is the provision that no more
dynamite or powder than can be
used in one day may be taken
below the ground. When an in
spector finds defects or danger in
a mine he has the authority to
close it down under the proposed
law.
Removal of Dust
The new law provides that coal
dust must be removed as promptly
as possible or that the mine be
"rock-dusted." a system of sealing
the walls and ceilings.
Use of flame-proof Storage ba =
terry locomotives in gaseous mines
is made mandatory and nonex-
plosive oil is ordered in the lamps
of miners working in nongaseous
mines.
The bill provides for a check
weighman to be paid by the
miners. This is one of the
United Mine Workers most in
sistent demands. These check
weighmen will work on the scales
with the company-paid weigh
man and will protect the miners
interests when the cars of coal
come up from the workings.
Miners are paid by the ton.
Drafting of the bill followed
a series of conferences between
Greed P. Kelly, chief mine in
spector of the Department of
Labor, and Lee Long, coal oper-
ator, and several officials of the
United Mine Workers.
