Clay for Allegariy County during the calendar year 1929 was 88,-719.00 net tons. This shows a production of 1,215 net tons of Clayfor each miner employed during this period.
TONNAGE PER FATALITY (BY COUNTY)
In Alleganiy County for the calendar year 1929 there were 462,-101 net tons of coal produced for each fatal accident; number offatalities per 1,000 employes were 1.54, and number of fatalitiesper 1,000,000 tons of coal produced 2.16.
There were rio fatalities in Garrett County during the year 1929.
TONNAGE PER FATALITY FOR ENTIRE STATE
During the calendar year 1929 there were 662,245 net tons ofcoal produced for each fatal accident; fatalities per 1,000 employes1.174; fatalities per 1,000,000 tons of coal produced were 1.51.
LABOR cONDITIONS
There were no serious labor disturbances in the region duringthe year 1929. There were some necessary slight adjustments intonnage and day wages, but there was no important stoppage ofwork.
TRADE CONDITIONS
The Western Maryland coal field continued to experience severecompetition from the coal fields in West Virginia and Pennsylvaniawhere coal was mined under more favorable conditions than in theMaryland coal field. Prices were uniformly low throughout theyear and very little profit was made by any one of the companiesoperating.
COAL EXPORTS FROM PORT OF BALTIMORE DURING 1929
The following information was kindly furnished by G. H.Pouder, Director, Export and Import Bureau, Baltimore Associationof Commerce:
Nineteen twenty-nine was a prosperous year for the Port ofBaltimore export coal trade, which, concentrating on sales in theMediterranean area, attained a yearly total of 324,070 toiis, anincrease of 87%. Total vessel movement for the year was 77, anincrease of 67% over 1928.
N
FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1929 5
With the exception of the unprecedented year of 1926, whenthe British coal strike resulted in exports from the Port of 5,760,-543 tons, export movements approximately equalled 1926 and fur-nished an accurate indication of the prominent position occupied byBaltimore as a coal export center.
Italy was our most important overseas customer in 1929, taking186,711 tons of bituminous export coal, or 57% of total exports.Italian imports registered an increase of 270% over 1928. Egypt,Canada and Algeria followed in the order named; taking 35,020,33,040 and 28,096 tons, respectively. Total sales to the Mediter-ranean district were 225,413 tons, an increase of 180% over 1928shipments of 80,190 tons. (Reasons for increased exports to theMediterranean countries are given elsewhere.)
Eight additional countries, ranging from Porto Rico to Argen-tina in the Western Hemisphere and France to Africa in the Eastem, purchased Baltimore coal. Although authorities state thatWest Coast European business, from Gibraltar to Norway, is ordi-narily closed to American exporters, Baltimore shipments weretaken by Germany and France. In view of the predominant positionoccupied by Great Britain in Northern Europe, Baltimore, figura-tively speaking, "Shipped coals to Newcastle."
Exporters were keenly aware of the possibilities of the Mediter-ranean area, which, although apparently limited territory, has awater-borne consumption of approximately eighteen millions tonsannually. Alert shippers, ably sided by the action of the UnitedStates Shipping Board, succeeded in penetrating this profitablefield. Until recently no standard freight rates for overseas coalmovements have been in effect, and our Latin American and Med-iterranean coal trade has been dependent on foreign shipping,which was available, at high prices, only when international com-modity movements brought foreign carriers to American ports.Coal exporters overcame this difficulty by appealing to Congressand the Shipping Board, which authorized the employment in activeservice until June 30, 1929, of eight or more Shipping Board steam-ers. Not only was American export coal thus carried on Americanbottoms but this action resulted in stabilized rates, as foreign flagshipping reduced rates in order to compete with American carriers.
The high quality of American export coal is recognized by for-eign importers who, in many cases, are paying as much as 20%more for our coals than for those of European origin.
Although England, Germany, Poland and Russia are extremelyactive in international coal trade, Baltimore is confident of evenmore success in 1930, which, from all indications, will prove to bethe most successful post-strike year.

SCALE OF WAGES IN THE GEORGE'S CREEK FIELDFROM MAY 1, 1880, TO DECEMBER 31, 1924
The Maryland coal operators made two increases in 1920. Ef-fective April 1, 1920, the mining rate was increased from $1.194 to$1.315, and labor increased $1.00 per day. Effective August 16,1920, day labor was increased $1.50 per day, no increase being madein mining. No further changes were made until May 1, 1924, \vhenthe following scale went into effect:
Per Gross Tons90807
There was a very considerable change in tonnage price and daywages during the latter part of the calendar year 1926; in fact, theprice was suddenly increased by one or two successive raises to anamount that was equal to that paid during the World War. Therewas some slight difference in the wages and tonnage price in thevarious parts of the district and it has not been possible to giveall the various prices paid, but a general average has been taken andit is believed that the prices are in the main correct.

FATAL ACCIDENTS
ALLEGAKY COUNTY, 1929
On Saturday, February 9, 1929, Mr. Julius Creighton, a mineremployed in the Kingsland Big Vein Mine of the Maryland CoalCompany, was almost instantly killed by a pillar fall while workingin No. 4 Room in 5th Right Heading. Mr. Creighton was workingwith Mr. Arch Cook, Mr. Henry Robertson and Mr. Benjamin Hydeand while loading their fourth car, without warning, the place fellin, catching Mr. Creighton as he made an attempt to escape, on theright hand side of the place. Several attempts were made to pullhim out by his buddies but this was impossible.
From the testimony given at the hearing, which was held inLonaconing on February 13th, 1929, it appeared that the place wasmoving when the night shift left for home on Friday night, Feb-ruary 8th, and on Saturday morning several timbers had broken.The miners waited until the timbermen renewed the broken tim-bers, advancing with the timbermen and loading three cars alongthe rib. The fourth car they started to load at the face of theplace. Six props were lying on the brake side of the car, over whichMr. Creighton had passed. The right side of the place was follow-ing the gob of the old workings and on the left side a thin pillarwas left, only about ten feet in thickness at the turn, and there wasa hole through it at the back of the place. The three cars loadedoff the rib while the timbermen were renewing the timbers helpedto weaken the place. This practice should be discontinued.
Great credit is due those taking part in the recovery of the bodyof Mr. Creighton; they forepoled a distance of 27-ft. in 11 hours.
Time of Accident—February 9, 1929, about 9:30 A. M.Time Body was Recovered—February 10, 1929, 4:10 A. M.Name of Injured—Julius Creighton.Nationality—American.Age—30 years.Married—Yes.Dependents—Widow and two children.Residence—Lunaconing, Maryland.Inspector—Frank T. Powers.Date of Inspection—February 9, 10, 11 and 14, 1929, by
Inspector Powers, accompanied by Chief Mine EngineerJ. J. Rutledge, District Mine Inspector Clyde J. Rowe,Mtne Superintendent L. Burton Stevens, and Mine Fore-man Felix Foote.
Recommendation: The pressure came from the right or fromthe brake side of the car. The deceased was found on the brakeside, the other three miners came out on the left side of the car.The place was working when the men went home the night before.

FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1929 21
The place was "high"; i. e., was not crushed at all; if it had beencrushed it would have been safer than it was.
If the deceased had had a closed light he might have got out insafety.
On February 19, 1929, Mr. Robert Plummer, a laborer and trip-rider employed by the Midlothian Coal Company, in No. 1 Mine,(Tyson seam) was instantly killed by a fall of roof rock.
The deceased was placing a car to the Straight Dip Heading andwas riding in the front end of the car. The car was being loweredby a hoist several hundred feet from the scene of the accident andthe inside place to the left was located back about forty feet fromthe face of straight dip and the switch to place to the left wasalways supposed to be left turned for this place to protect the menwho worked in the dip heading. The deceased had apparently triedto stop the car with the brake instead of giving the signal to thehoisting engineer, and the car ran through the switch, jumping thetrack and knocked out a prop which let down a piece of rock 6-ft.9-in, long, 3-ft. wide and 2-ft. thick; the deceased was reaching overthe end of the car with his hand on the brake and the rock caughthis head on the end of the car. When the men, who ran to hisassistance, reached the car, they found his hand on the brake andthe brake set. The hoisting engineer said that he did not receivea signal to stop. It looked as though the deceased had tried to stopthe car with the brake. In the opinion of the Inspector making theinspection, this accident was apparently caused by carelessness andhis recommendation is that only competent men be employed astrip-riders.
Time of Accident—February 19, 1929, 9:30 A. M.Name of Injured—Robert Plummer.Nationality—American.Age—34 years.Married—Yes.Dependents—Widow and four children.Residence—Frostburg, Maryland.Inspector—Frank P. Powers, accompanied by Mine Foreman
George Tennant.
Recommendation: Better discipline might have avoided thisaccident. The deceased was trying to stop the trip with the brake.He could have stopped the trip anywhere as he had his steel withhim and the hoist-man was only 200-ft. away from him. He wasonly hauling a one-car trip.
On May 7, 1929, Mr. John Lapp, a Trackman employed by thePiedmont and Georges Creek Coal Company, Bowery Furnace No. 2Mine (Tyson seam) was fatally injured at 7:10 A. M., and died
22 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
from his injuries in the Miners' Hospital, Frostburg, Md., abouttwelve hours later. The deceased was taking a motor into themine which he used to move his tools and other equipment aboutthe mine workings, and was accompanied by his helper, Mr. ThomasWinters. As they were going down the tram-way that leads to themine opening, he apparently had trouble stopping his motor at aderail switch at the mine opening. After throwing the switch heproceeded on into the! mine, and in some manner the trolley polecame off and the motor ran away. At the 2nd switch off the MainSlope the deceased was thrown out of his motor and his skull wasfractured.
Some of the brake rigging was found about thirty feet from themotor-barn on the surface and had been there for some time as theend was rusted where it had broken. From statements made byfellow employes, Mr. Lapp took a motor in the mine that shouldhave been taken back to the motor-barn for repairs; at least, heshould have done this when he reached the derail switch, as he hadtrouble stopping the motor at that point.
It developed also that Mr. Lapp had no miner's lamp preparedfor lighting, depending on the light of the motor, which left himin the dark when the trolley pole came off, and the fact that he hadno light, it is thought, caused the unfortunate man to lose his life.The motor came to a stop at No. 4 Room, 2nd South Heading, neverhaving left the track. The height at the point of the accident wasabout 7-ft. and he had plenty of head room along the main slope.
To prevent similar accidents in the future the Inspector makesthe following recommendations:
Motors in poor repair should, not be placed in service. Themotorman should make a written report of the condition of hismotor at the end of each shift to the Mine Electrician and the motorshould not be put in service again until it is in serviceable condition,and the mine electrician has certified to this statement in writing.
Motormen and brakemen should be equipped with an approvedlamp and this lamp kept in proper condition. This will assure themlight at all times they are in the mines. Electric lights should beplaced at all heading switches and derail switches.
Time of Accident—May 7, 1929, 7:10 A. M.Time of Death—May 7, 1929, 7:15 P. M.Name of Injured—John Lapp.Nationality—American.Age—46 years.Married—Yes.Residence—Frostburg, Maryland.Inspector—Frankl T. Powers, accompanied by Supt. Harry
Hitchins and Thomas F. McKernan.Time of Inspection—May 8, 1929, 10:30 A. M.

FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1929 23
On August 24, 1929, Mr. Moses Duckworth, a Machine Runneremployed by the Piedmont and Georges Creek Coal Company, Wash-ington No. 5 Mine (Bakerstown seam) was instantly killed by afall of roof.
Mr. Duckworth was operating a cutting machine in No. 4 Roomon 3rd North off 1st South. The thickness of the seam where theaccident occurred was 30" coal and 12" bone. The dimensions ofthe piece that fell were 15-ft. long, 6-ft. wide and 15-in, thick.The machine crew, consisting of Moses IDuckworth, Operator, andClaude Westfal, scraper, was cutting this room; they had sumpedin on the gob side and were cutting across the face to the rib sideof the place; the machine had just about reached the roadway withthe deceased between the machine and the rib when the rock fellsquarely on the unfortunate man, breaking his neck.
The piece of rock which fell was cut off by slips which were notobservable and as the place was very well timbered, it would havebeen almost impossible to prevent a recurrence of a similar ac-cident.
Time of Accident—August 24, 1929, 12:00 Noon.Time of Death—Instantly.Name of Injured—Moses Duckworth.Nationality—American.Age—41 years.Married—Yes.Dependents—Widow and four children.Residence—Franklin, Md.Inspector—Clyde J. Rowe, accompanied by Supt. J. A. Cos-
grove, Mine Foreman John Wallace and John Hughes, aLaborer.
Recommendation: The roof should always be bumped orsounded before the jack is set. In this case the roof was too lowto bar. Always take down a bad roof; this is the practice at thismine. The Mine Foreman's mark was on face. The nearest propto the face was 5-ft. 3-in, distant and 6-ft. 4-in, from the left rib.
FATAL ACCIDENTS
There were four fatal accidents during the calendar year 1929in Maryland coal mines. Three of these were apparently prevent-able accidents; whether or not the fourth was preventable is adebatable matter.
The District Mine Inspectors have used strenuous efforts toreduce fatalities and accidents in mines and most of the operators
24 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES
have been equally as vigilant. Notwithstanding the great effortsput forth four accidents occurred. It seems that fatal accidentsoccur in spite of all that we can do in the way of enforcing safetyregulations in and about mines.
EDUCATION, SUPERVTSION and DISCIPLINE will do a greatdeal toward reducing the number of fatal accidents but until mineemployees themselves take a greater interest than they do at pres-ent in making themselves safe, there will continue to be fatal ac-cidents.

One Safety Order was issued requiring electric wires in themine to be placed in proper condition, the haulage trips to be pro-vided with trip lamps, and the building over the pit mouth to beremoved, the work to be completed within three weeks. The SafetyOrder was complied with.
A Safety Order was issued following a joint inspection by theDistrict Mine Inspectors of Allegany and Garrett Counties, requir-ing trip lights to be provided at once, a certified fire boss to beemployed, a man-way to be provided, a record book furnished bythe company to be kept by the superintendent, First-aid equipmentto be provided and a proper place set aside in which to keep thisequipment.
PROSECUTIONS
Aliegany County Inspection District
Three mine employes were fined for riding upon loaded minecars contrary to the Mining Law. The rnotormen and brakemenof the two trips were likewise fined for permitting the men to soride.
Garrett County Inspection District
A superintendent was fined the costs in the case (1.25) foroperating a mine with the fan idle.
One man was fined 1.OO and costs for riding a loaded trip! onan incline place.
A man was fined 5.OO and costs for having a keg of powder inthe mine.
Two men were brought to trial for failure to set sufficienttimber in their working places in accordance with regulations pre-pared by the Bureau under the State Mining Law. The case wasdismissed by the Justice of the Peace on the grounds that theInspector was not present in the working place when the offencewas committed.
Two men were arrested and brought to trial for having a fullkeg of powder at the working face but conviction was not obtainedas the men testified that the powder did not belong to them, andthe superintendent testified that the company had never sold thesemen any powder. The case was dropped.

ADOPTION OF REGULATIONS
There are a number of Sections in the Maryland Mining Lawwhich require the Bureau to prepare regulations supplementing thestatute Mining Law. In the six years that the law had been inforce it developed that a number of safety regulations were neededto supplement the statute law. Accordingly on December 13th and14th, 1928, hearings of miners and operators and others interestedwere held at Frostburg md Westernport, Maryland, at which hear-ings there was the freest and fullest discussion permitted by allthose present of the tentative regulations, which had been preparedby the Bureau and submitted for the consideration of the as-semblage.
As a result of these hearings the following regulations, approvedMarch 13, 1929, were prepared and promulgated and have sincebeen in effect.

Hearings Held December 13 and 14, 1928.
1. The purpose of an inspection of a mine by an official is to determine ifthe law and the mine regulations are being fulfilled and if there are anyunsafe conditions present.In every mine, subject to the provisions of the Maryland Mine Law, aninspection of each active working face shall be made at least once duringeach shift that the mine is in operation, either by the mine foreman or byhis assistant, and such additional inspections shall be made during eachworking shift as will assure the mine foreman that the workman at theface is not working under any dangerous conditions.
2. (a) The mine foreman, or his assistant, shall, on his first visit to eachworking place on each shift, leave some visible evidence of his havingvisited the working face on the working face, roof or timber at or near theface.(14 This evidence shall be chalk marks giving the date of the month andthe initial of the foreman making the inspection in such form as is ap-proved in writing by the Chief Mine Engineer of the Maryland Bureauof Mines.
3. In the Six Foot Seam, or other seams having similar middle bands orwhere the roof is brushed for height, sufficient props shall be providedand set to properly support the above stratum to insure the safety of themen working thereunder and this timbering must be done while removingthe coal.

4. Hanging wire on defective insulators is prohibited.5. Spacing insulators more than 30-ft. apart on a straight track or morethan 10-ft. apart on a curve, is prohibited.6. Hanging wires from overcasts constructed of combustible material isprohibited.
PIMBEJRING REGULATIONS1. In coal seams other than the Big Vein, there shall be placed a centre prop
with a 15-inch cap piece in the road-head in front of the mtne car nearestthe working face. This shall be done where conditions require it.2. No swinging bars shall be permitted in mines working the Big Vein. Aswinging-bar is a cross bar with only one prop or leg under one endof it. This rule shall prevail regardless of whether or not the other endis hitched in the coal. The exception to this rule would be when the other
end is hitched in solid rock, which is never the case in the Big Vein. (Thecross-bar over the road-head takes the place of the centre prop in BigVein work. We do not have swinging bars elsewhere than in the Big Veinseam.)
EXPLOSIVE REGULATIONS1. Safety fuse shall be of such length that when the primer cartridge is
tamped in the hole, the fuse will extend beyond the collar of the hole atleast three (3) inches.2. Mixed charges of explosives shall not be fired. By "mixed charges" ismeant the use of two or more different kinds of explosives in the samedrill hole.3. All shots or dharges shall be tamped to the mouth of the hole, except

FIRST AID AND MINE RESCUE
The Bureau continued to encourage training in Mine Rescue andFirst-aid. The Assistant Vocational Mining Instructor, Robert D.Ewing, conducted one class in First-aid to the injured during theentire calendar year, 1929. This was in addition to his other workof teaching the Night Mining 0asses.
The Consolidation Coal Company under the supervision of Mr.W. J. Wolf, Division Manager, Maryland Division, put on a cam-paign in the summer of 1929 looking to 100 per cent training in hisworking force in First-aid. Over 800 men, practically all of theemployes of the Maryland Division of The Consolidation Coal Cöm-pany, were given instruction in First Aid.
Mr. E. E. Quenon, First-aid Miner, U. S. Bureau of Mines, wasdetailed to give instructions in First-aid among other employesthan those of The Consolidation Ctal Company. Later on Mr.Harry Burdelsky, Foreman Miner, U. S. Bureau of Mines, gaveinstruction in First-aid to the injured, especially in team practice,in preparation for State and International contests.
On June 7, 1929, The Consolidation Coal Company, MarylandDivision, held their Intra-Company contest in First Aid, at whichtime the Ocean Team won the first prize. This team afterwardscompeted with the other teams of this Company from eastern and

central Kentucky, Northern and Southern West Virginia and fromthe Pennsylvania Divisions.
The Ocean Team of The Consolidation Coal Company, Midland,Md., was awarded the first prize in First Aid at the Interstate Contest of this Company at Fairmount, W. Va., on June 29th, 1929. Mr.Lloyd Shaffer and Mr. John H. Zorn, both of The ConsolidationCoal Company, Safety Department, gave instruction to the Midlandteam in First-aid and Mine Rescue.
SECOND ANNUAL STATE FIRST AID CONTEST
The Second Annual State First Aid Contest was held in theauditorium of the Beall High School, Frostburg, Maryland, on Sat-urday, August 3, 1929, 25 teams competing.
The first prize was won by a team from the Fire Clay Mine ofthe Union Mining Company, Finzel, Garrett County; the secondprize by a team from Mine No. 17, The Consolidation Coal Company,Lord, Allegany County; the third prize by the First-aid team ofMine No. 10, The Consolidation Coal Company, Eckhart, AlleganyCounty; the fourth prize by a team from Mine No. 42 of The DavisCoal and Coke Company, Kempton, Garrett County.
On September 12th, 13th and 14th, 1929, the Finzel First-aidteam and the Combination First-aid and Mine Rescue team of TheConsolidation Coal Company from Ocean Mine, Midland, Md., com-peted in the International First-aid and Mine Rescue Contest atKansas Cty, Missouri. The Ocean Team won the prize for MineRescue excellence. This was a remarkable achievement since thisteam met finely trained team winners of State contests in otherparts of the country, and moreover this team had only receivedslightly over one month's training in Mine Re cue apparatus andentered the contest as a combined First Aid and Mine Rescue team.

OUTSTANDING FEATURESThe feature of outstanding interest in the year's work in the
Night Mining Casses was the conducting of two classes in MineManagement; one at Frostburg, the other at Barton. These classeswere largely an experiment, for while the need of some instructionof this sort had long been noted by some of the leaders of the indus-try in the State, some doubt was felt as to the advisability of start-ing it at this time.
Fortunately, both classes proved a success from the start, andas the course progressed the interest grew, until at the conchsionthere was probably more enthusiasm shown than at any classesheretofore held.
The cJ.ass at Westernport also deserves special mention, as itwas by far the best class that had been held at that point since theinception of the Night Mining Casses.
FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1929 81
CONCLUSION
At the conclusion of the sixth year of Night Class Instructionfor miners in Maryland, it may be interesting to note that to datenine hundred and one (901) individuals have received instruction,either in the Night Classes or the Short Course for Mine Employes.
On a basis of thirty-seven hundred (3700) mine employes inMaryland, this would indicate that approximately twenty-four andthree-tenths (24.3) per cent of the total number have receivedinstruction.

Conclusion
While the number of men enrolled this year is larger than thatof previous years, the average attendance per week is smaller inproportion. This fact can, in no small degree, be attributed to thenumber of different shifts, which of necessity must be worked.
There are several gratifying features in the work of this period.One of these is the number of men who have taken work of a similarnature for the past six years.
Two of the five classes are composed almost entirely of men whohave not been enrolled in the classes before. In many cases, severalmembers of the same family are enrolled and are regular in at-tendance.
The sacrifice made by the men attending the morning class,after working late the night before, is very commendable.

Of the above total number of students, 73 now hold Certificatesof Competency for Mine Foreman or Fire Boss.
The benefits of an intensive course in mining, such as the Sum-mer School affords, should have a very considerable effect for thebetterment of management of the coal mines of the State.

Summarizing the above figures we find that:The total enrollment for the seven year
period was 1937The average weekly attendance for the
seven year period 141
The attendance percentage of the numberof men enrolled in the seven year perioci 50 per cent
To date 1101 individuals have enrolled in the Night MiningClasses and the Summer Schools.
On the basis of 3600 mine empioyes in Maryland, with noallowanc for labor turn-over, this would mean that 30.5 per centof the mine employes of Maryland have received instruction.
it may be interesting to note that of the total enrollment of1937 men, 836 have enrolled for a second year of instruction, andmany of them have attended classes for seven years.
Two hundred (200) men enrolled in the Night classes and Sum-mer School of the present year have received no previous instruc-tion. This should prove that it is still possible to interest new menin the classes, after seven years.
In the seventh year of their existence the Night Mining classeshave the largest enrollment and the largest average weekly at-tendance in their history.

The number of men enrolled this year was a substantial increaseover the enrollment of last year. The men who worked on the nightshift while attending, without exception, did all the written work.This is extremely praiseworthy and indicates that men of this typeare well worth any advancement they may seek.
