By virtue of and pur suant to the authority conferred by sec tion 3 1 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 19381 and pursuant to the regu lation prescribing the Procedure Gov erning Determinations of Hazardous Oc cupations; 2 an investigation having been conducted with respect to the haz ards for minors between 16 and 18 years of age in employment in coal-mine occu1 Act of J u n e 25, 1938, c. 676, 52 S ta t. 1060, U.

pations; a report,of the investigation having been submitted to the Chief of the Childrens Bureau showing that:
1. Work in or about coal mines in volves an exceptionally high degree of accident risk, in comparison not only with manufacturing as a whole but also with most other industries for which adequate injury statistics are available.
2. In risk of fatal injury, coal-mine work exceeds manufacturing to an even greater degree than it does in the risk of disabling injuries in general.
3. The high accident risk in coal mine work extends to both the anthra cite and bituminous industries and in volves all types of coal-mine operations underground, open-cut, and surface work.
4. All underground occupations, all occupations in open-cut operations, and all surface occupations, with the appar ent exception of slate picking and work in offices and in repair and maintenance shops located on the surface, involve exposure to serious accident hazards.
5. The accident risk in coal-mine work is probably particularly high for young persons, who are characteristic ally lacking in the experience and cau tion needed for work in or about coal mines.
6. State legislation, which reflects public recognition of the particular haz ards of coal-mine work for young people, has established higher minimum-age standards for work in or about coal mines then for general employment in the majority of the coal-producing States.
7. Employment policies, as developed by operators and through union agree ments in the coal-mining industry, fre quently recognize a minimum age for coal-mine work th at is higher than that established by law.
8. Many safety engineers, mine in spectors, and other experts consulted have expressed the opinion that, in view of the hazards of coal-mine work, minors under 18 should not_be employed at either underground or surface work.
Many others who were of the same opinion with regard to underground work believed th at certain surface occu pations were not particularly hazardous and should be permitted for minors between 16 and 18 years of age;
a finding and order relating to the em ployment of minors between 16 and 18
years of age in the said occupations hav ing been proposed for final adoption by the Chief of the Childrens Bureau upon the basis of the said report of investiga tion; a public hearing having been held with respect to the said proposed finding and order; all statements submitted in connection with the said hearing having been carefully considered and a change having been made in the proposed find ing and order in accordance with sug gestions made at the hearing; opportu nity having been given to all interested parties to file objections within 15 days following publication in the F ederal
8of the proposed finding and or der, as revised, and no objection disclos ing just cause for further revision thereof having been received; and sufficient rea son appearing therefor, Now therefore, I, Katharine F. Lenroot, Chief of the Childrens Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, hereby find that all occupations in or about any coal mine, except the occupa tion of slate or other refuse picking at a picking table or picking chute in a tipple or breaker and occupations requiring the performance of duties solely in offices or in repair or maintenance shops located in the surface part of any coal-mining plant, are particularly hazardous for the employment of minors between 16 and 18 years of age.
b Order. Accordingly, I hereby de clare that all occupations in or about any coal-mine, except the occupation of slate or other refuse picking at a picking table or picking chute in a tipple or breaker and occupations requiring the perform ance of duties solely in offices or in repair or maintenance shops located in the sur face part of any coal-mining plant, are particularly hazardous for the employ ment of minors between 16 and 18 years of age.
Definitions. For the purpose of this order 1 The term coal shall mean any rank of coal, including lignite, bitumi nous, and anthracite coals.
2 The term all occupations in or about any coal mine shall mean all types of work performed in any under ground working, open-pit, or surface part of any coal-mining plant that con tribute to the extraction, grading, clean ing, or other handling of coal.
This order shall not justify noncom pliance with any Federal or State law or municipal ordinance establishing a higher standard than the standard es tablished herein. This order shall be come effective on September 1, 1940, and shall be in force and effect until amended or repealed by order hereafter made and published by the Chief of the Childrens Bureau.
