Excerpt from Proceedings of the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America, Vol. 13 The report of the committee has been submitted to the So ciety, and consisting of twenty-seven typewritten pages, it is scarcely practicable to publish it in full. But little discussion is presented as to why this bill should have or should not have the support of mining engineers. 0 Nevertheless they are included in its terms and should be vitally interested in seeing such a bill fail or become a law. If the support of mining engineers is desired it is rather unfortunate that the arguments in favor of the bill were not fully given, particularly those as to the advan tages accruing to the profession of mining engineering and to the public. If mining engineers are to be registered if they would practice, whether they desire registration or not, it is a proper time for them to express themselves on the subject. It may be said in this connection that many mining engi meers of Colorado, where such a law now exists, do not look upon it with favor. Copies of the committee's report may be secured from Alfred D. Flinn, Secretary of Council. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
