Show THE CITIZEN 12 MACHINE TO DISPLACE LABOR IN COAL MINES Efficiency and Economy WASHINGTON, D. C,, Nov. 23. Utah is represented on a- National Committee on Mechanized Mining, which has been appointed by the American Mining Congress. D. D. Muir of of Salt Lake City, the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Company, has been appointed State Chairman for Utah on this Committee. For the purposes of the National Committee the Utah coal fields have been divided into four districts, each of which will have a chairman. These districts are: No. 1, No. 2, Sunnyside; No. 3, Hiawatha; No. 4, Pleasant Valley. Chairmen for these districts will be announced about December 1. Mr. Muir as State Chairman will have charge of the work in Utah and the district chairmen will represent the committee in their particular mining field in Utah. The district chairmen will observe and report to State Chairman Muir the current developments in all phases of mechanized mining in their districts. Mr. Muir as State Chairman will submit these reports to the Secretary of the Mechanization Division of the American Mining Congress at Washington. The information in these reports sent to and will be classified commitof chairman general tees dealing with various phases of mining practice.' The general chairmen will report at conventions of the American Mining Congress held in December and May, showing developments in mining practices and in all types of mining equipment. Reports on developmets as reported by the various chairmen will be issued to the industry from the American Mining Congress at Washington from time to time. of this national Under auspices committee a five year program for extension of mechanized mining methods in the coal fields of the country will be conducted. The purpose will be to promote safety, efficiency and economy in the production of coal. The movement has the unanimous support of prominent coal operators in more than 21 States. In all, nearly 150 coal operators will be actively engaged in stimulating the use of machinery in the production of coal and in making available to the entire industry the latest developments in mechanized mining. The headquarters of the American Mining Congress in Washington will be the clearing house on mechanization and make available to the coal industry the latest practices in mechanical mining methods in use in the coal fields. Dr. L. E. Young of of Pittsburgh, Pa., the Pittsburgh Coal Company is chairman of the National Committee. The committee will act as a research body - , Vice-Preside- nt Cas-tlegat- e; vice-preside- nt for the National Standardization Divi- sion of the American Mining Congress. Colonel Roberts, a nationally known authority upon mining stan- dards, is chairman of the coal mining branch of the division and is cooper ating in developing the mechanization plan. Dr. Young is chairman of the Mining and Loading Section of the Standardization Division and is an ardent advocate of the advantages of mechanization as applied to coal production. Creation of the committee is the outgrowth of a mechanization survey conducted during the past two years by the American Mining Congress through Glenn B. Southward, its mechanization engineer. The work of this committee will contribute to the benefit of the public, miner, operator and manufacturer, says the American Mining Congress. The public will secure cleaner and more economical coal; the miner will be assured safer working conditions through better supervised, better ventilated and concentrated working places, and be enabled to raise his economic status because of numerous specialized tasks incidental to the mechanized mining of coal; the operator will have more continuous and more profitable recovery of coal; and the manufacturer of mining equipment will be better able to serve the industry and assist in promoting its efficiency and prosperity. The coal industry is passing from hand to machine methods of mining and the work of this committee will materially assist in working out the change with less waste in time, money and are being transported for hundreds and even thousands of miles to be assembled at the points where the luxury demanding tourists will spend a few careless hours. For a whole year an army of foreign agents has labored incessantly to scramble together the equipment and accommodations necessary to keep a few hundred American cruise trippers comfortable for a night and a day. It is done because it pays. Cruise fares alone from this single port for the next five months will total nearly $4,000,000. Even though spread over thousands of passengers, that will pay for a lot of beds and meals and transportation for each one. Many will go no farther than Bermuda, but others will be traveling all winter. Rudyard Kipling, speaking recently at Liverpool, took occasion to praise travel madness, as a contribution to world peace. He feels that, while the cruise ship may lend itself to sarcasm, it is, after all, the only way in which many timid people can be persuaded to venture out into the great world. They are bound to bring back something. And so surely as knowledge and acquaintance beget understanding and sympathy these travelers will make this a smaller and more friendly world. Brooklyn Eagle. UTAH INDUSTRIAL al committee on Mechanized Mining ARE WE TRAVEL MAD? Have Americans, because of their natural love of movement and activity, become twentieth century Flying Dutchmen who flit restlessly from sea to sea; finding no port congenial, no place where they are content to set- tle down? It would almost seem that cruise ships are getting to be the only home that many American travelers can call their own. They like the life on shipboard, because it keeps them moving. Go to. bed in Africa and wake up in Naples! See the moon rise over the Parthenon one night and over the Bosporus the next! Do the Mediterranean in the spring, the North Cape cruise in summer and the world cruise during the rest of the year! That is their idea of a good time and a profitable one for the tourist companies. Between now and April a total of eighty-thre- e cruise ships devoted exclusively to luxurious passenger travel to all parts of the world will start from New York. That is a record number, although several tourists agencies abandoned cruises when they heard of the amount of competition. These ships will comb the world to provide new thrills for the jaded appetites of repeating customers. Such places as East Africa, West Africa, South Africa, Australia, New a, Zealand, South Sea Islands, Java, Black sea ports, Crimea, Russia, that have been off the beaten track of cruise ships are now being included in regular itineraries.
