FAMILIAR THINGS)
THE TECHNIQUE OF
MINING COAL .

Coal-nnining is an arduous
and dangerous employment.
Coal gives off gases which the
miner has good cause to learn
to dread. There is carbon dlox-
ide. which the miner calls black
damp, suffocating all who
breathe it. There is the gas
called methane, which the
miner calls marsh gas. Marsh
gas. mixed with air, becomes
explosive, so that in certain
gaseous mines, the miner today
uses an electric safety lamp.
Yet mining explosions are not
the only danger of the mine.
Sometimes the roof falls IN.
Sometimes the cages that car
ry the men, the coal, the tools
and the materials up and down
the pit-shafts, 60 wrong. Some
times there are accidents on
the small railways that carry
the coal underground. However,
all over the world greater and
greater care is being exercised
to protect the millions OF miners
and those engaged around the
mines, in an effort to reduce
accidents.
In the United States there is
plenty of shallow coal left,
which is easily got out. In Great
Britain most of the mines are
fairly deep, and so it is in Ger
many, Belgium, and many
other places. In England in
some places the mines are over
5000 feet deep, and in a mine
as deep as that it is very hot,
so that the miners must work
nearly naked, and they also get
very fatigued.
Some coal mines are made
by boring a shaft, about 20 feet
wide. down to the coal. From
the bottom of the shaft many
galleries open out like under
ground streets. Great elevators,
called cages, run up and down
the shaft. They move very
quickly because all the miners
have to be moved up and down
through one hole, and it would
take a long time to get them
to work unless the cage worked
rapidly. For the same reason,
the coal has to be lifted quick
ly. In the United States many
mines are reached by tunnels
into the side of a mountain or
hill.
There are several ways of
working coal seams, but they
all resolve themselves into cut
tino out the coal, getting it to
he pit-shaft and sending it up.
The coal-miner does not hack
away at the coal in getting it.
He cuts under a mass of coal
for a few feet, and then breaks
down the coal by driving in
wedges or by using explosives.
This underwriting is dangerous
work, for in doing it the miner
has to crouch under the cut he
had made, and there is danger
/ of his being crushed. Many ma
chimes have been invented to do
the underwriting, and they are
coming more and more into
use. The use of explosives in
bringing down coal is very
dangerous in fiery mines (as
the gassy mines are called),

then pushed forward again and passed by unanimous vote.
 Rep. Frank Johnson announced when the bill was called up that he had two amendments he wished to make to it and moved to have it sent back to the committee. This motion was voted down l3 to II, but a subsequent move to have it returned to second reading was car ried. It turned out that the amend- ments amounted to very little. One of them was withdrawn by the au- thor when it was explained to him that it would make no actual change in the effect of the bill, while the other was adopted but served only to write into the word ing of the bill a statute now on the books This provides that any per son who voted in Alaska at or prior 10 the General Election Of 1924 may vote at Subsequent cleo tions, whether CT not he can pass the literacy test.

GAME COMMISSION MAY EXTEND MEET
 INTO COMING WEEK

Because of unusually heavy cor reSpondenoe and communications coming up for attention at the Alaska Game Commission confer ence now in it's four day of sessions, Chairman Earl Dinner states that the originally planned period of one week may have to be extended into the middle of next week.
 So wide has been the interest and suggestions offered by trappers, sportsmen, and game men all over the Territory that much time has been devoted to careful considera- tion of the excellent picture of cross sentiments.
 Out to changed conditions affect ing game regulations of the past four years, Dinner said that many recommendation are under discus sion to meet the change and foresee conditions in the future. Increase of population in Alaska is respon- sible for many of the proposals now under the advisement of the commission.
 Albert M. Day, Director of Fish and Wildlife Service, now enroute to the conference from Chicago, is expected to arrive today from An nette Island, where he has been delayed by weather conditions.

SALES TAX ENDING DAY
 IS NOW SE1
Blanket Primary Bill end Other Measures Pass
 ed by House

During a turbulent session yes to-day afternoon the House oi Representative passed five bills and one memorial, including the Blanket Primary bill and the Sen ate bill to set termination date for the sales tax.
 First order of business in the House was a motion by Rep Will jam Egan to. reconsider his vote on an amendment to s. B. 13. the bill to terminate the sales tax on March 3l, le49.
 The amendment, proposed yes terday by Rep. McCutcheon, would have eliminated the specified date and carried on the tax until the fund reached $10,000,000 It was adopted by l2-ll vote with one absent yesterday
 Rep. Egan, in explanation for his move for reconsideration, said that he had reached the conclusion that the amendment might Jeopardlze the whole bill and put the term ination date back where it is at present: when the fund reaches s3,250,o0o.
 On the basis of the most recent returns under the sales tax Act, Rep. Egan said, it is estimated that by March 3l, l949, the fund will reach a total Of six or seven million dollars, and that he would then vote against the amendment. Rep. Hopes pointed out that the tax, under the terms of the origin al bill, will not end until after the next session of the Legislature, which would have an opportunity to extend it again if necessary.
 McCutcheon Argues Yes
 Rep. McCutcheon, who sponsored the debated amendment, argued that only 300 loans have been made, that there are more than 6,oO0 veterans in the Territory, and that at least $10.o0o0oO and per- haps more will be needed for the loan fund.

boards be considered. An amend ment was made to this motion by Senator Jones to add the words, with the exception of John Cross of Deering." Gross was named by the Governor to the World War II Veterans Board.
 Senator Jones amendment was killed by vote of 6 yeas and g nays for the Senate. 9 yeas and Is nays for the House, after which, on motion of Senator Walker. the joint session adjourned, leaving the appointments to be considered at some future date.

The Washington Post said today that Capt. Tom Hamilton, Navy Academy coach. is to be the All America football conferences new commissioner.

 tossed confusion into the discussion by announcing that the date set in the Senate bill would terminate only the wholesale portion of the tax leaving "us little fellows to continue paying it. Rep. Gar nick also aimed low punch at Rep Egan who, she said, took ad- vantage of the Loan Act and should be willing to let others do the same, mot try 10 cut it short" Egan ignored the blow, but set her right on what the bill actually seeks to do.
 MeCutcheon Votes No
 Rep McCutcheon, who talked strongly in favor of his amend mcnt, evidently talked only for ef- feet and when the roil was called, he voted mo- leaving four of his cohorts. whose names precede his on the roll, dangling without sup port. Eight others who voted for the amendment Tuesday, voted against it yesterday, and the amendment lost 20 to 4, with Reps. Barnett, Garnick, Hope and Hunt ley voting in its favor.
 The bill was advanced to third reading and quickly passed by 20 to 4 with Barnett, Garnick, Gill and McCutcheon voting against pas sage It will be returned to the Senate unchanged.
 Others Pass Quickly
 The next five measures on the calendar came up and were passed in quick succession. These ificlud- ed H. B. 27, to empower City Coun- cils to set up garbage collection systems and establish planning and zoning commissions; H. B. 22, to set up Child Labor Law; H. B. 40, to add embezzlement to the crime of theft on the statutes; H. B. AS, to require that real estate dealers and agents he licensed, and to es- tablish the office of Real Estate Commissioner, and H. M 2, asking that a school house be built at Kenai.
 The only close vote was on the Child Labor bill, which passed 14 to 10. Rep. Maurice Johnson ob- jected to it on the ground that the section providing penalties for vio- lations of the Act, if passed, also provided that these penalties-up to $1,000 fine and up to one year in jail, or both-apply to violations of any order, rule or regulation is- sued by the Commissioner of La bor This, Johnson said, gives en- tirely tco much power to one man.
 Blanket Primary
 The Blanket Primary bill had a hectic time on the House floor before the close of the afternoon session and was sent from third reading back to second reading, was amended in second reading,
