further it will deprive the so-called ambulance
chaser, both legal and medical, of his job and his
parasitic livelihood.
I also wish to call the attention of the operators
present to our plan of safety committees. We
have a committee of three men on each entry
who serve without pay and whose duties are to
observe any and all things which may be dangerous,
contrary to the rules of the company or the
mining laws of the state. These committees are
provided with suitable badges and these are worn
all the time. Each committee of three men is
changed by retiring one man every month and putting
in a new man. We feel that in this way we
can ultimately interest all our men in preventing
accidents.

FRENCH MINING EXPERT TALKS
TO MINING ENGINEERS.
Pittsburgh members of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers on April 23 at the Fort Pitt
hotel listened to a paper read by M. Jacque Taffenell,
chief of the bureau of mines of the French
government, considered a foremost authority on
mine explosions, and the inventor of many successful
mine appliances. He is the originator of
the pulverized stone process by which rock flour
scattered on mine floors precents the accumulation
of the explosive element which has been
found effective in reducing the danger of explosions
to the minimum.
George S. Rice, chief mining engineer of the
ITnited States bureau of mines, presided and introduced
the honor guest. The organization of a
Pittsburgh section of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers was abandoned for the presene.
The action was based on the claim that the Engineers'
Society of Western Pennsylvania provided
the functions contemplated by the new section.
Those present were largely members of both organizations.
Those who took part in the discussions
included Messrs. S. A. Taylor, Julian Kennedy,
Prof. Goodale and Dr. Phillips of the University
of Pittsburgh; Secretary E. K. Hiles of the
Engineers' Society and Charles Enzian of Wilkesbarre,
secretary of the anthracite section of the
American Institute of Mining Engineers.
