Retiring Mines Bureau
Official Would Scrap
Federal Safety Code
BY the Assoeioted Press

Daniel Harrington, retiring safety
chief of the Bureau Of Mines, recon-
mended yesterday that the Federal
safety code for coal mines be abol-
iShed. You can't shove safety down
peoples throats, he said.
Stepping down four days after
his 10th birthday from the position
he has held since 1926, Mr.. Harring-
ton told reporter the code should
be replaced by tentative standards"
like those in effect before the code
was formulated.
II the code is retained, Mr.. Har-
rington said, the Bureau of Mines
should not have the authority to
enforce 1t or to make inspections
under its provisions. He would have
the bureau recommend and advise
on safety practices.
Mr.. Harrington, regarded by many
industry leaders as having done
more for mine safety than any other
man. long has held these views.
Until his retirement. however, he
felt he could not speak out.
Says Death Rate Drops,
Mr.. Harrington observed that as
long as coal is mined in the guam
tity this Nation demands, there will
oe disasters such as that which
killed Ill men at Centralia, ILL.,.
year ago.
But, he pointed out, THE overall
fatality rate in coal mines declined
from about six deaths per million
tons OF coal produced, in 1911, to 1.72
last year"
TT will continue to 60 down." he
added. If we didn't have a coal
mines safety code, I'm of the opin-
ion 1t would go down faster.
L want to make this plain. I
think the Bureau of Mines. given
enough funds to put competent men
IN the Held. can do a better job of
safety work by giving service along
educational and recommendatory
lines than it can ever do by SHOW
ing safety down peoples throats.
Favors Tentative Standards.
I'VE should have tentative stand
ards, with the Bureau of Mines
making recommendations as to
practices on the basis of its 3O-odd
years of experience.
The operators could take the
recommendations they want and
leave the ones they didn't want.
Ultimately most of the proposals
would be adopted, because of the
force of public opinion-and be-
cause practices that are idealistic
today are practical tomorrow.
When we have a code, we have to
stay in a rut, because this code is
a compromise and very difficult to
alter"
