Sec. 2.13.
In case operators or miners shall file formal written charges
with the Department that any law or laws in relation to coal mines and
subjects relating thereto and providing for the health and safety of
persons employed therein has been violated, the Director shall call the
parties involved before the Mining Board to hear the evidence for, and the
defense against, the charges. In case the Mining Board finds, by a majority

Attorneys to prosecute all persons so offending, and the offenders shall be
subject to the penalties provided by law for such violations.
