Protection Provided, Also- Recreation, And Insurance - - lituch hu been written and said on the value of Utah's mining Industry to the state and to , the nation. Careful studies have been made showing the impor- ,tanee of mining in our economic structure. showing the number of people dependent directly or indirectly on this industry for support. In this brief article. however, we intend to discuss the industry from ,a totally different point of view. Approximately 17.000 men are directly employed in the various mines, and states smelters. These are the men who make possible the development of the ,tate's mineral resources, for without the skilled and loyal workmenthe plans of the greatest gerous for the development Of our mineral depos its would be nothing but theories on paper. It is our purpose here to show that the various mining realize companies in the state the value of the services rendered them by their workmen, and take a personal and direct interest in the welfare of those men. Every company is making the exceptional efforts to provide utmost in safety. welfare and comfort of its men. All of the mining cotnpanies operating in .1.1iith are complyIng with the current legislation on measures. social security features and the but all of them. in one field or another. are doing tar more than is actually required of them. Group Insurance One large company operating in Utah and several nearby states ham provided an outstandcaring group insurance plan. ried by a nationally reputed insurance cotnpany, in which all leemploves of the company, gardliss Of age, physical condition or hazard of occupation. are insured for the small premium of only 60 cents per month per Policies. based $1.4)00 insurance. on the earnings of the individual employe. range from $1.250 to SI0.00o. No medical examination is necessary to obtain the should policy. If an employe leave the employment Of the comconwould pany, the insurance tinue automatically for 31 days. during which time regularforinsurthe ance company policies a- lesser- amount can be same--o-r obtained at regular rates or the age group of the applicant, without medical examination. The same company haB a special housing project, operated t hulloing asthrough a sociation. which provides all buildborne for employes capital ing. charging only 6 pet- cent interest on the unpaid balance. The outstanding feature of this housing plan is the cash surrender provision: at any time the employe can get back in immediate ;ash all the money put into such house (whether it is fully paid for or non, less only a fair allowance for depreciation. From a $1.::1 a month payment made by each employe to the company fund. free' hospital service for all normal illness is proNidisti and full pay given in case of injury during the three day waiting period before regular industrial compensation payments begin. At the start of the last depression. the company made advances of thousands of dollars to employes thrown out of work through forced curtailment of activities, without interest charges. Since the resumption of full time operations. the employes are loyally paying back these advances in small monthly installments. Through those same depression 'years. the company ' raised thousands of bushels of potatoes On company land and gave them free to jobless Meet, at the same time providing free garden plots and seed for the men to raise food for themselves. Besides furroshing land. water and seed free of charge. the company erom provided a special superthe State Agricultural, visor College to instauctthe men in making the best use of their land. Mealier Peatere Another Utah mining company, whose drifts carry through rock formations where exceptionally are eneounhigh temperatures tered. spends thousands of dollare yearly on ventilating equipment and is now installing a huge fan capable of pulling 72, 000 cubic feet of air per minute in Order to reduce the danger and discomfort of working conditions to an abaolute minimum. Working in quartzite formations where there, is danger of silicosis poisoning, the mine provides elaborate sprinkling devices to keep dust out of the air. AU of the safety devices. including safety electric cap lamps. safety goggles of env type desired by the individual employe and the latest type of respirator. areprqvided free bY the cam; patty. which even includes free upkeep on the lamps and allows the employe to exchange his goggles at any time free ot charge' Tools are also provided at corn- eight-,hou- ' 1ParnYety"Perme, ' inmatbegazininstereglisput:-- United regularly to instruct oft!roetritt-thelate- st - in methods , company'.
