Although many safe practices again
were observed during the second Gov

laXity was noted in enforcement of
timhcring instructions. Production per
lost-time accident, company records
showed, was below the output of the
average coal mine, indicating the
need for increased attention to safety.
Additional recommendations called
for cleaner haulageroadS with un-
