Excerpt from Mining and Scientific Press, Vol. 114: January to July, 1917 The idea that something was wrong did not originate in the M. M. Society nor do any of its members think so or feel that they know all of the remedies to be ap plied. The members know that they form but a very small part of a very large profession, but they feel that they can and should help to the best of their ability. The M. M. Society, realizing that the questions are very broad, affecting thousands of the citizens of the United States, understood thoroughly the futility of any organization, large or small, attempting to formulate a new code that would be acceptable to the majority of the people interested in the business. Joining with other organizations whose combined membership was several thousand, and without doubt fairly representative, it urged to the utmost the appointment of a commission, competent to take all evidence that could possibly be submitted, and competent to advise Congress what, if any, alterations should be made.
