Regarding the settlement v.rlth Mr o Petrovich:, Judge Lacey
~

,'1rites under date of the 13th that he approves the plan suggested
in my letter of the 12th, copy of ·which was given Mro Taliaferrop
that the matter be taken up vd th Judge Tidballo

I suge;es·liee that

'i:ihe better way would be to make two payments, one for the amount
due under ·the compensation act .i, the other i'or the ~~1750 cash grat-

uity9 plus accrued rental, fuelp waterp etco, fm~nished, a receipted bill for the rental:, fuel, vra.ter, etco, to be given with

~~750 in cashp in settlement of' the second vouchero
Of course.i, Judge Tidball has no authority to pass on our
gra-ct.1-i ty, but Judge Lacey states that he approves of' informing
him in connection ,1ith the request for cash settlement of' the
amount due under the acto

Rock Springs, ~yoming

OFFICE OF

Attorney

IN REPLY PL EASE REFER TO

NO.

Mr. H.J. Harrington
Rock Springs, Wyoming
Dear Sir:
In reference to the voucher of $750 . 00 au tho rized
to be paid to John Petrovich as a gratuity :
Mr . McAuliffe understands the circumstances under
which this voucher is authorized. It seems to me the
situation is a delicate one and t hat a general release
might or might not be deemed advisable .
We are to stipulate $750.00 by way of compensation
is to be awarded, and we believe that that award is all that
the v.-orkrnan is entitled to under the law, yet it is proposed
to give him $750.00 more, and not to continue him in our
employ .
A situation of this sort to my mind should be
carefully considered lest at some future time our own
act in the premises may be construed as recognizing a
condition borderi ng upon permanent total disability .
Of course I disclaim any such thought. Still, it seems
to me that it would be ~~se to have Mr . McAuliffe consider
the situation and to decide the language to be employed in
dravd.ng the voucher , and whether or not some form of
contract in the shape of a "general release" might be
deemed advisable .

Re: telephone conv ersation relative to t he Coov ensation
case of Sam Crawsha\"1 :
Crawshaw uns inj ur ed while in the employ of the Rat tlesnake Creek \'later Company.

Crawshaw \'/US call ed out by Mr . Clark on

!.'larch 20th, 1925, to help r epair a pipe +ine.

\'/bile cutti ng a pipe a

piece of steel fleu into Crawshaw's right eye.

Craushaw was disabled

for a period of 33 days, he ad vises t hat he \'las pai d compensation ·for th:ils
period.

Dr. Straed er of Cheyenne has handled this case and am a dvised by

Crawshaw that the doctor has foruar ded his bill to the Clerk of Court at
Rawlins, YJyoming .

�March 9th, 1926.

Mr. N. R. Greenfield,
Rawlins, Tiyoming.
Dear Sir:
Herevtlth letter from Dr. St rad er in relation to compensation case of Sam Cra·wshaw.
A~parently there is a confusion as to whether this
L'lall

is an employee of the Rattlesnake Creek ~ater Company or an em-

ployee of the Union Pacific. Coal Company.

Dr. Strader is under the

i1:1pression that his pre~ious fee of f;ll0.00 was paid by the Hospital
Commission at Hanna , when perhaps tha t Commission had nothing to do
,tlth the caoe.

Dr. Strader's main question is, however, as to whether

he shall give the compensation department the full report of his examination.

Will you kindly check the case and udvise oe r,hat I may

say to Dr. Strader.
Yours very t ruly,
Original Signed

Cheyenne, Wyoming.
March a, 1926.

Mr. Herbert Lacey,
Cheyenne, ·wyoming.
Dear Sir:
On April• 6th, 1925, Sam Crawshaw was sent to oe by Dr. H.
Finch, Coal Company Physician at Hanna, for treatment of an eye injury.
Our records show that he was~reated at the time as a Coal
Company case and we rnade no report to the State Compensation Department nor
to the County Clerk.

Tie were paid ten dollars (~10.00) presumably by the

Hospital Coliliilission, although our r eco rds do not show definitely that the
check car.1e from the Hospital Commission.
On ~rch 6th, 1926, he ,re.s referred by Dr. Finch with a letter stating they wished to have a final examination oade to determine what
vision he has in the injured eye.

The letter also stated that he uas a

compensation case and that at the time he uas injured he uas Yrorking for
the Rattlesnake Creek Water Company and is still an employee of that company.

I might add that his vision in the injured eye - right - is
20/70 and with correction" is 20/30 plus.

He has a very ·slight linear scar

across the center of the cornea.

I run giving you this history of the case so that you may advise me whether this should be reported as a State Coriipensation case' at this
time, nearly a year after the injury \78.S received, Liarch 21, 1925.
Very sincerely,

G. L. Strader.

Omaha - November 17, 1931

Mro Eu.gene _McAuliffe,

Mr. Angelo Grel~i. age 33, Coal Miner. Rock Springs. Wyoming,
in service 1 year, was examined at my office November 11

19310

He

gave me the following h~story:
He had an operation for appendicitis two years a go in Italy.
His present complaint is continuous pain in back except when quieto
He alleges that this pain is due to an accident that he received on
May 41&gt; 1931, while working as timberman in Rock Springs Coal Mine Noo8.
He was struck ·on the shoulder by a rock 1·rom the roof.

He was taken

to The Wyoming General Hospital where he was treated by Dr. Arbograst
for one month.
Examination of chest and spine by x-ray shO'Ned the following:
"Chest: Some enlargement of peri bronchial glands. Some
infiltration toward the bases more markea right side with
some extending toward the apices. Apices clear. No. ToBo
"Entire Spine: Cervical spine: negativeo Dorsal spine lies
diagonally from above downward to the left with slight curvature ·to , the right in the upper dorsal, and to the left in
the middle dorsal and to the right again in the lower dorsalo
Lumbar spine shows a marked curvature to the left with deformity of all the bodies. No x-ray evidence of tuberculous
destruction of the vertebral bodies. Slight lipping of the
lower dorsal arul all the lumbar vert ebrao"
His urinalysis was as follows:
"Clear, amber, Sp.Gv. l'.ll9, acid, no albumen, no sugar.
Microscopical negative."
Examination of his blood was as follows:

Mr. Angelo Grelli is suffering from a

Rotatory Lateral Curvature of the spine together with an Arthritis
of the Lower Dorsal and all the Lumbar Vertebrae.

There was no

evidence of Tuberculosis of lungs or spine.
In my opinion, it is possible tha t an injury to his back
has probably aggravated an old arthritis of his spine which predated
his injury.

Dear Mr. Dickinson;
In some unaccountable manner I mislaid the
copies of Coal ~f.ine Management gou were kincdl. enough to loan me.
As far.e as I can recall I went to the We stern Union Telagraph
office to send a message and probably lai d the magazines on the
cchunter. I ca lledthere later but the man/on
was not on shift when I sent my message.

I

shift at that time

Will you not call at their office and see if
they have found them. I am sending to Ehicago for copies so that
I might make my file complete.

I had a splendid time while in your vicinity and
feel that your were in a great measure responsible for my seeing
and learning so much in two days.

Mr. A. W. Dickinson,
General Superintendent,

Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Dear Mr. Dickinson:
I have tried to assemble the several copies of
Coal Mine Management you were kind enough to let me
have when I was in Rock Springs during my last visit.
I find, howe~er, I am unable to recall just which
numbers I 001.Towed from you, and I am writing to ask
if you will let me know the numbers and also the
months ~n which the magazines were published ; I
will then return them to you with many ~hanks.

The reason I am una ble to decide what numbers
to send is that they have become mixed with my copies
of Coal Mine Management and I mverlooked placing your
name on the copies you were good enough to let me have.
I hope you had a most enjoyable Christmas and
that 192$ will be full of many good things for you
and your family.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Sir:

I wish to thank you very kindly for the courtesies extended us at Rock Springs, and wfsh to
say that we enjoyed our trip through your No. 8
Mine. You have a wonderfully fine mine, with exceptional physical conditions.
I would appreciate very much having a plan
of your mine, together with data showing the
tonnage mined by scrapers and by Eichoffs . .Also
information relative to the actual tons per man,
produced by mechanical loading as compared to the
old hand loading methods, and the average number
of men required to operate the scrapers as well
as the Eichoffs.
Inasmuch as the conditions are different at
some of your other properties, I am wondering
whether you would have any objections to furnishing me with information in regard to what success
you have had with mechanical. loading where roof
conditions are somewhat bad, and somewhat similar
to our southern district mines.
Any additional data which you should care to
furnish, in connection with mechanical loading,
and the various drives which you have found best
adapted to your conditions and to the machine
used, will be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
DAS-jma

----Rock Springs - June 25th, 1927.

Mr. Eugene McAuliffe:
I have your let.t ar of the 23rd e.nd will arrange ~,;o be in Ha.n~a
vhen you reach there, and will be guided by ~ire which I ~ill receive

from yo\1 Honde.y.
lir. Neale spent a very enjoyable three days here, BOing to the

Superior mines, Rock Spring~ mines, and spending some time in the
office with ue.
of Lander.

He left for Sheridan Friday morning, going by way

He will probably take ' the Northern Paci{io and spend a

little time in the Yello\1stone ?ark, thereafter go~ng to Seattle;!,

spending some time around the Pacific Coast CompWly'o mines, and
then going to Alaska.

On account of the large a.mount of territory

that he desires to cover, he did not prolong his visit here.

I

tried to talk him into going through the Zion National Park and the
Yellowstone National Park.

At first he seemed to think this . was

the best thing to do, but later changed his mind in favor of the
trip to Alaeka.

George B. Pryde, Esqo,
Vice President and General Manager,
Union Pacific Coal Company,
ROCK SPRINGS, ~yoming.
Dear Mro Pryde,I hasten to urite thanking you for the
very ~arm reception both you and Mr. McAuliffe gave
me on my recent visit to your mines.
It was my first
visit to the Tiest but if this was typical western
hospitality, then it is unique. No where have I met
in my travels such readiness to help a member of the
mining fraternity to learn and profit by a visit as
I did at Rock Springs. Fom the President down to the
workmen at the face I found a readiness to give helpful information and believe me I now regard my trip
as of positive value to myself personally and I hope
also to ~ our Company.
There were several matters which impressed
me and I feel constrained to refer to them here First - Your President, Mr. McAuliffe, is
not unknoun to me since I am fairly familiar with his
uritten contributions to the problems of coal mining.
His writings are c incisive, clear-cut, thorough, and
since meeting him I feel that these writings are a
true expression of the man himself.
I would be glad
if you would express to him my app~eciation of his
hearty welcome to me.

�- 2

.June 6 P 1927 o

Second
Your staff of officials have a wonderful spiri·t of' enthusiasm a,'nd are all apparently eager i_;o
co-operate to make things ' a go'. Loya.lty 0 I would judge,
is the dominant characteristico This does not develop of
itselfo
I am sure it is the result of superi or management.
Loyelty begets lo ya ltyo Fortunate is that Company wh ere
every official is imbued crith the idea of pr ogress ive success in co-operationo
Thi rd - I talked with a number of y our workmen and noted that quite apart from their own particular
duties they displayed a vi de interest in the ope rat ion of
the mine. Of course my judgment, based on a few minut es'
talk here and there where so many men are involvedp must
o f necessity be superficial, and y0t I came to the firm
conclusion t hat they were much above the average o~ workmen
found in coal mi ne so ~hat is the secret of contented,
happy, and int e lligen~G \1orkmen? It is not a.. question of'
uage rate surely , although your rates to us seem inordinatel y higho
I read ,7 ith great interest your :Magazine for employees and I uould be indebted to you if you could see your
way clear to send ma one or tuo issues for I think I can
glean ~rom them some o~ the reasons or causes that contribute
to this very satisfactory oonditiono
Fourth - I was impressed ~ith what seemed to
me the prodigious strides made in mechanization in your
collieries within the last tvo yearso Previous to that,
according to percentages given me, progress was very gradual,
as it should be when experience was being acquiredo You
have nov reached a. point vhere you oan go forward with confidenceo
I a.m sure· it must be encouraging to yours ell!', vrhen
it is an inspiration to outsiders like mysalf 0 to see ·such
progress in meohanizationo
Reflecting wh~t Isau and heard at Rook Springs,
I am tempted to ask one or two questions, which I trust you
vrill not regard as presumptuouso
While day rate paid is high, the percentage . of
days uorked is lou and the monthly earnings are not appreciably higher than our rrorkmen geto
Is this an exoep-'iiional
condition for the period or does this indicate normal operations? Is the cost of living high? Perhaps the best way
to answer this would be to indicate house rentals end board
costs f'or single meno

�G. Bo Prydeo

June 6, 1927.

Hou many workmen to the Company pro~ide houses
for, and what provision do you make in this respect when
occasion compels you to import workmen?
Do y ou experience difficulties by the United
Mine ITorkers' o?ganization interferi~g o r attempting to
regulate actual operations within the mine?
Where you have bath houses, h ow much are the
men taxed Zo? these?
Is your work day eight hours at the face and
if so 0 is this tim e strictly adhered to?
What are the datal rates for
common labo r underground,
machine mining of the coBl,
mining coal by ·contract 0
loading co &amp;l by contract,
s-ui--face la bol??
I noted a number of autos at No. 8 Mine, owned,
I was informed, by the oorkm~n oh o use them going to and
:from uoi--ko This i:/8 judge in Ca~a.d~ '2.s an evidence of proaperityo \'!hat percentage, roughly, of your 'w orkmen own cars
and use them in this way?
If you can see · your way clear to answer this
questionnaire, it \7ill help._ me to 'complete my survey or- this
field and, needl~ss. to sayp I uill appreciate it.
Again thanking you for your unfailing kindnesses and courtesies, I remain,
Yours very sincerely,
ALH/rum.

.. Mr. George Pryde,,

v.P., Union Paoifio Coal Company,
Rock Springs, Wyo.
My dear Mr. Pryde:The Bethlehem Mines Corporation, which is a subsidiary of
the Bethlehe~ steel Company, produces approximately 70 000 0 000 tons of Coal
per year.
A number of its mines are located in this immediate vicinityo
There are two divisions in l'Jorthern West Virginia, one in Marion County and
one in Preston Countyo
Mr. A. Wo Louther is Manager of the Preston
Division.
Under his supervision a great deal of experimental work is
being done with various mechanical loading devices.
~. Louther expressed
to me a desire to visit Rock Springs and see for himself what the Union
Paoific Coal Company is aocomplishing with mechanical loading.
He is a
very olose friend of mine and I wired Mr. McAulif'fe whether or not it would
be agreeable to have Mr. Louther visit the Union Pacific Coal Company mines
at Rock Springs.
This morning I have a wire from Mr. MoAuliffe at New
York, advising that the Union Pacific Coal Company will be glad to receive
Mr. Louther at Rock Springs at his convenience.
1u-. Louther will greatly
appreciate this courtesy.
He expects to leave here Sunday, October 16tho
En route he will visit Trinidad, Colo. and from there will go direct to Rook
Springs, arriving in Rock Springs on or about Friday, October 21st. I have
advised Mr. Louther that you are in direot charge of operations and that for
many years you have been a personal friend of mine and I have, therefore,
given him this letter to you because I am desirous of his being in good hands
while at Rock Springs.
It has been some time since I was in Rook Springs but I
never forget rrry old side-kicks and often think of you and the good times we
used to have at Cheyenne and I often wish it were pos·s ible to sit down and
hear some of those good Scotoh stories ,mich you always seemed to have on tap
and which you knew so well hO\'T to tell.
Everything is going fairly well
here, except that for the past neek and since the Illinois settlement, the
Union is again picketing all mines in the Scotts Run District and giving us
as much trouble as pos3ible.
When I first came here this was rather trying on the nerves but we have had so m.uoh of it that we really pay but little
attention to it nOlVo
If you should see Mro Quealy, Glen Knox or Doc La.uzer
·please convey :my good wishes to them and tell them I often think of them 0 Mr.,
MeAulif'fe was kind enough to put me on the mailing list for your monthly
~.agazine nnd many times there are articles that make me think of the old days
and the old friendships.
I hope that e~y:t.M
is going well with you o.nd
th.at you are enjoying good health0
Wi-tn best wishe f'or the future and your
prosperity, I run,
.(

Pryde:-

I just returned from Toronto, Canada, and find your letter of Oot. 27
on my desk, with reference to the visit of Mr. Louther and others of the Bethlehem
Mines Corporationo
Mro Louther was in the office yesterday and could riot ·say enough
about the courteous Tray in which you handled them while they were with you, and I want
to thank you sincerely because in helping them you did me a good turn.
Mr. Louther spoke very highly of the progress you are making with
mechanical loading and I am sure that the visit proved worthwhile for him and his associateso
You say that you imagine it would be a hard job to keep the "animals" in line.
I do not know miether you have reference to the miners or the operators, but to an old
friend like you I can make a frank confession and say to you that I would just as soon
attempt to keep one set or 11 animals 11 lined up as the other 0
However. the operators in this district are no different than -in the
many other districts which I have had the opportunity of visiting while I was with the
National Coal Association.
What the coal operators need is a thorough-going line of
statistical information. Without it there oan be no intelligent supervision; there can
be no comprehensive management and certainly there can be no comprehensive ·mefohandising
of the product and. of course, without the latter. there can be no profits.
Sometimes
I almost give up hope of the operators working out their own destiny. However. I live in
hopes.

I do hope to get out west again in the very near future and when I do
I expeot to spend a day in Rock Springs just to say "Hello" to you and those other good
friends of· earlier days.
I hope everything is going well with you and that you are
prospering.

Dear Mr o Pryde :
At request of Chamber of Commerce representatives of
this City, am introducing t o you, Mr. Co H. Pitt, who is connected with Government salt operations in India.
As this salt is mined similar to our coal in the
United States, !iJrr. Pitt desires to investigate mechanical
loading devices which have been installed in our mines and
if consistent would appreciate it if you will enable him to
witness a demonstration of this loading and give him such
information as may be of value in connection with the industry
which he represents.
Very truly yours.

all look with suspioion upon any good thing that can be obtained
uithout oost. Yet, you oan install and operate EDISON LAUPS--the latest typ,
of approved underground illumination on a RENTAL CONTRACT, et no expense
uhatever. Hundreds of ooal companies, both _l ar ge and small, have s ubscribed
to the EDISON LAt.lP RENTAL CONTRACT.
It oosta a miner six to ten cents per shift to opera.t a an open flame
cap lamp. He is willing to pay the same amount for the use of a government
approved oap lamp that nill give him, not only sefe but better and more uniform illumination.
The usual rate charged the miner for the use of an aleotrio oap
lamp is from six to ten oents per shift or fro m seventy-five oents to one
dollar per pay. This is suffioient to pay all oharges age.ins t t he l amps,
including rental, lamp house labor, power for charging the bat taxi es and
fixed charges on lamp house structure.
The JJine Safety Applio.noes Company will install EDISON LA!.1PS and
charging equiplll8nt and furnish all supply parts without any capital expenditure on your part; it is only neoesaary for you to furnish a lamp house, a
competent lamp tender and the proper power for oherging the batteries . At
the expi~ation of the RENTAL CONTRACT, the Lamps are yours?
Why heai ta.te \7hen you oa.n obtain this aplend.id

and safe EDISON illumination at no expense?
Fill in attached card and have our representative
demonstrete the above facts to you. If you put your
hands on one of these lamps, you will never be without 1 t.

REPLY TO SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE

Union Pacific Coal Co.
Mr. A. W. Dickinson, Gen. Supt.,
Rock Springs, ~yoming.
Gent.lemen:
Since writing you recently a number of large corporations
have standarized on the Permissible Safety Flashlight and
by so doing have eliminated the possibility of accidents
from Flashlights igniting combustible gases.
The response and interest shown in the Eveready Approved
Safety Flashlight by the large public utilities, petroleum
companies and industrials, where portable Flashlights are
used in combus'tible gases, proved to us that the Eveready
Flashlight has a definite field and use in places of this
kind.
In addition to the very excellent safety features, it is
the most practical Safety Flashlight for industrial work,
as it is so ruggedly built having a focusing beam and
carrying an extra globe in the case which enables the user
to replace the burnt out globe on the job.
1'he Eveready Safety Flashlight carries both the Permissible
Seal of the United States Government and the Underwriters
Laboratories, and is the only Flashlight that has the above
two approvals.
We are very anxious to place this information before you
and would be glad to give you further details and prices
for immediate shipment upon receipt of your orders.
Yours very truly,

BULLARD-DAVIS, INC.

CUSHIONED CONTACT WITH THE
FACE -o- Both cups and nose bridge are
covered with Willson sweat-proof padding,
which is sweat and flash proof. This relieves
the pressure on the sensitive parts of the
face. Full circular, ventilation prevents
"steaming lenses" at most any job. The 50
m.m. (2" diam.) lenses give wider and dearer
vision and greater protection.

ANATOMICALLY SHAPED CUPS ❖
the cups are shaped right and left to conform to the bone strud:ure around the eye
area. The cups are just flexible to permit
individual fitting, and to absorb the shock
from severe blows, (a very essential
fea~ure), yet sturdy enough to stand shop
use and abuse.

�~he Will~on Bag Respirator . Type B
PAT ENT A PPLIED FOR

T ms respirator was designed and built for lead workers nud
sillli.lar hazardous occupations. It is the result of the
demand for special protection from one of the prominent
lead refiners, who felt that the ordinary dust respirator
&lt;lid not provide protection commensurate ";t11 the linzards
of lead refining operations. It has been thoroughly tried and
. tested in their plants, and has proven highly satisfoctory.
The bag offers excellent protection against dry dust, and
when necessary can be saturated with proper chemicals to
neutralize mild acid and alkaline fumes. Easy breathing is
assured by the large area of breathing space the bag affords.
The face contact is close and comfortable, nothing touching
the face except the soft bag. The bags are readily replaceable,
washable, and can be used many times over. Price: packed
in cardboard box with 1 eid,ra filter 82.00 each f.o.b. Additional filters packed 3 to a box: Sl.00 per box.
The bag fus inside the rubber form, and then rolls back
over thcfonn. This assures acl-0.~c, comfortable contact
that kec71s 011t dusts. The light-weight ball,..s/w71c,/
spring keeps the bag diste11dcd at all times.

�THE FUTURE OF THE BITUMINOUS COAL INDUSTRY
BY JOHN T. RYAN, JR.

I

I

NTERNAL problems of the bituminous coal industry have received considerable thought and
extensive publicity in recent years. The
depressed condition of this basic industry has been the subject of inquiries,
learned and otherwise, into its many
phases: social, economic, and political.
From these investigations has been
drawn a picture of an industry faced
with overdevelopment, intense competition, labor difficulties, shifting of production centers, and large numbers
of unemployed workers. Many details
of this internal situation have been
treated previously in the Harvard
Business Review. 1 This article will attempt a discussion of the external conditions confronting the bituminous coal
industry at present, and of those factors
likely to prevail in the future.
Knowledge of the external factors is
today more of a prerequisite to an· understanding of the condition of the coal
industry than wquld have been the case
twenty years ago. This rise in importance of the external factors has
resulted from growth of the competitive fuels-oil, gas, and hydro-electric
power-which have changed the market position of bituminous coal from a
virtually noncompetitive situation to
one of intense competition. The total
energy needs of the nation are now
met by several fuels instead of coal
alone as had been the case prior to the
War. The major causes for this chang~
and the probable future developments,
will be discussed in .this article.

minous Coal Industry," X HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW

Growth of Competition

The clearest conception of the status
of the coal industry is given in Chart I.
From this graph it will be seen that the
total energy demand of the country has
been supplied not by coal, but by increases in the use of competitive fuels,
and through great efficiencies in the
utilization of coal. No longer is the
energy market of the United States
identical with the energy market for

coal, as it once was. This market is now
split into segments, each of which overlaps the other, and permits widespread
competition.
The decline in the percentage of
energy produced from coal has been
due to the influence of two major factors: displacement of coal by more
economical use, and displacement by

competitive fuels. \Vhen more effective utilization is made of coal, less tons
of coal are needed to produce the same
number of energy units, but coal is still
being used. Some idea as to the significance of this factor may be gained from
the graphs in Chart II, which show the
effect of economies in the use of coal by
railroads, central power stations, and

blast furnaces. Many of these economies have benefited the coal industry through enabling coal to compete
on a cost basis with the competitive
fuels, and have thus maintained a market for coal which would have gone in
some measure to other fields.

Competitive F1tels. Displacement of
coal by competitive fuels results in the
loss of large amounts of coal tonnage,
since the entire marke t for coal is lost
through such displacement rather than
the amount of coal requ ired being
decreased, as in the case of econom ical
utilization of coal. When the displacement is by coke, manu factured gas, or
some other coal derivative, the market
is not entirely lost to coal, although
some decrease in demand may take
place as the result of more economical
application of these coal-derived fue ls.
Gross coal tonnage is redu ced when
coal is displaced by competitive fuels,
and is likely also to be cu rtailed through
more economical use. Some increase in
gross tonnage might result througli the
more effective utilization of coal in
those cases in which the cost of coal is
an appreciable element of the total cost
of the product, so that reductions in the
cost of coal through economies in use
permit a lowering of the selling price
of the product. If the demand for the
product is an elastic demand, an increase in volume of production may
result, and this would be transmitted
into an increase in the gross tonnage of
coal. The conditions above are not
typical of most industries using coal,
since the fuel cost is usually a small proportion of the selling price, or else the
industry using coal is one operating
under conditions of monopoly and government regulation, such as the utilities
and the railroads, in which price
changes are made slowly.
These two aspects of declining coal
consumption, economies in use and the
shift to competitive fuels, are h~t the
results of complicated and interacting
forces that have prevailed in the coal
industry. Two major influences have;
acted to bring about this changed
situation: high prices prevailing from

�The Future of the &lt;:Bituminous Coal Industry
1916 to 1923 and the breakdown in the
traditional limits of fuel markets.

Prices of Coal. The fluctuations in the
average value per ton of coal at the mine
can be followed in Chart III. It should
be remembered that actual consumer
prices varied above these prices by
widely fluctuating amounts, so that in
times of car shortages or strikes the
consumer prices were above $10 a ton.
This price situation could not be met
by the industrial consumer until large,
low-priced supplies of natural gas and
fue l oil came on the market to furnish a
s ubstitute for coal. There was little
demand for substitute fuels in the
period from 1899 to 1915 (when the
price for coal was rather constant at
$r.15 a ton at t he mine), and coal maintained its leadership in the fuel market,
92.0% of the total energy demand
being met by coal in I 899 and 87 .1 % in
1913. This decrease over that period
was slight compared with the declines
after the War.
During t his period, the markets for
the various fuels were rather rigid.
Bituminous coal was used for transportation, manufacturing, and coke
production, while anthracite found its
chief use in domestic heating. Natural
gas was used for lighting and cooking,
and fuel oil was but little used. There
was very little overlapping of the fields
of use for the various fuels.
In the succeeding period, however,
the entire energy demand situation became complex. The price for coal, beginning in I 915, began to rise because of
war needs, and the setting of high
prices for coal during the war period
served to attract large amounts of capital into the industry with attendant
overdevelopment. Car shortages and
labor difficulties following the War led
to a continuation of high prices for coal

32 7

which brought large profits to the
operators, but also resulted in high fuel
costs for consumers.
The high cost of fuel and the technological advances in coal utilization
and substitute fuels were causing fundamental changes beneath this apparently
prosperous picture of the industry. The
former tight compartments served by
each fuel in the energy market were
being broken down. Fuel oil began to
encroach on coal in industrial heating,

transportation, and central power station generation. The total energy demand was no longer the demand for
coal alone, but became a demand for
coal, fuel oil, natural gas, and electricity
produced by water power. This breakdown of previously assured markets
for coal was obscured by the prevailing
high price of coal and large profits.
The full significances of the changes
taking place in the market did not become clearly visible until after the
break in coal prices in 192r. From that
period, despite the drastically lowered
coal prices, demand for coal exhibited
a horiz~mtal or declining trend. Equipment for using substitute fuels, and for
more economical use of coal, which was
installed during the period of high coal
prices, continued in use despite the sudden shift in the price structure. The

�Harvard &lt;:Busr.'ness ~r.'ew
costs of the new equipment, fear of
higher coal prices in the future, danger
of shortages due to car shortage oi labor
difficulties, and the advantages for some
users of competitive fuels served effectivel y to prevent any change in the
declining curve of coal consumption.
In addition to the high prices of coal
from 1916 to 1922 1 which gave a large
initial stimulus to the growth of substitute fuels, there were many reasons,
important to large groups of consumers,
for the use of fuels other than coal.
Eas~ of handling other fuels as compared with coal, and the assurance of
a dependable supply free from interference by labor troubles and transportation difficulties, were important for
household consumers and some industries. Maintenance of a more constant
quality standard for the competitive
fuels, the progress in the adaptation of
gas and fuel oil to many industrial uses,
and the lessened bulk relative to energy
value of the substitute fuels were important advantages for many industrial users. It is likely that advantages
such as these were more significant in
the change from coal to substitute fuels
after the initial period in which relative
price was important.
The coal industry in this period had
to face its competition at a time when it
was in no condition internally to wage
an effective battle. The development of
new fields in southern West Virginia
and Kentucky, and these newer sections then operating under low wagerate, non-union conditions, brought
about a major cleavage in the industry
which prevented united action against
the external conditions. Price competition, as between producing sections and
between individual concerns, demanded
a far greater proportion of the managements' attention than did the development of plans for meeting the external

competition in the m arket. Thus t he
depression for the coal industry may be
said to have begun in the ea rly twenties.
Present Sit1tation

An appraisal of t he present position
of coal in the competitive fuel market
requires a detailed ana lysis of the relative amounts of the v arious fuels used
by consumers in the U nited States, and
a determination for each of the major
consuming groups as well as the major
geographical regions of the amounts of
fuel oil and natural gas directly competitive with coal. The production figures
for the various fuels do not give this
necessary pict ure of t he com petit ive
situation, since much of the oil and
natural gas is noncompetitive wit h coal
either through t he nature of the use o r
the geographical position of the user
with respect to the oil fields or coal
fields. Such a detailed study was made
recently by the National Industrial
Conference Board and the following
estimates are taken from their report. 2
Displace111e11t of Coal by Competitive
Fuels. Fuel oil, the report estimated,
had in 1929 been responsible for the
displacement of about 24 million tons
of coal directly. The influence of this
fuel was felt largely in the Appalachian
coal region because of the presence of
large oil refining centers along the Atlantic seaboa,r d and in the Pittsburgh
region. The oil fields along the Pacific
Coast contributed toward the displacement of much coal in that area.
Natural gas in the same year, it was
estimated, displaced 20 million tons of
coal directly. This competition was important in the prairie states west of the
Mississippi and in the . Rocky Moun2 Tnr CompttiJioe PoJition of Coal in thr U11itd Stairs.

comes into direct competition with coal
as burned directly, or coal as converted
into by-product ovens into gas.
The coal equivalent of the 33 billion
kilowatt hours of hydro-electric power
produced in 1930 was 27 million tons,
but not all of this energy was competitive directly with coal, since fuel oil and
natural gas have also felt this influence.
Water power competes to a great extent with coal in the Southern Appalachian States, New York, and New

forms of energy by consuming groups
in the United States for 1929.
Profits and Costs. Turning now to the
internal condition of the industry at
present, one £nds a situation as to
profits not unlike that of the past few
years, in that some producing sections
show a small profit per ton and others a
corresponding loss, with the total profit
margin for the industry being but a few
cents a ton. The most recent report on

costs in the bituminous coal industry is
that compiled by the Division of Research and Planning, Bituminous Coal

months from April, 1934, through Januaryy 19·3 5, a nd· the figures are based on
operators' reports to the various dis-

trict code authorities. The percentage
of the mines reporting varies from district t o district, with a bout t wo-thirds of
the total production being represented .
A summary of t he complete cost report is giv en in Table I I. The average
figure in this table is a weighted average
of each of the producing section s in the
report. The total net tons produced
were used to weight t he margin and
compensation insurance figures. Asample section of the repo rt, giv ing the
figures in detail for the ·western Pennsylvania section, is given in T a ble III.
The total margin for t he indu stry,
based on costs and selling prices at t/14
-mine for the ten-months period given,
was 2.7 cents a ton. The margins r anged
from 5.79 cents a ton loss in the Eastern
Subdivision to a profit of 9.38 cents a
ton in Southern Number I District.
That this condition is not just a recent
one is shown by United States Treasury
Departmentstatistics for 1929,a yearof
greatest profit for many industries, in.
which 1,437 bituminous coal companies,
producing 46% of the total output,
operated at a loss, and their deficits
exceeded those of the profitable companies so that there was a net loss for
the industcy as a whole in 1929.
.
Although too many conclusions cannot be drawn from these cost tables,
since they represent average figures for
the industry, thus including mines of all
sizes and levels of efficiency, yet they
do give a picture of the industry as one
having but a small margin of profit per
ton at the mine, as compared with margins reaching into the dollar figures
during the War and for a short period
afterward. These figures do point out
the necessity for consideration of the
small margin with which the operator
has to work at present, and give an idea
of the division of total cost into labor
and fixed ano variable expenses.

�The Future of the &lt;:Bitum£nous [oaf Industry
The bituminous coal code under the
NRA served to strengthen the price
structure in some measure, and gave
great incentive to the unionization of
the southern West Virginia and Kentucky fields. As a result of the virtual
100 % organization of the miners into
the Unit ed M ine Workers of America,
there has been a demand for equalizat ion of wage schedules in all competing
coal fields which would result in a raising of the wages in these southern fields.
T he implications of this union strength
will have to be considered in any analysis of internal condit ions in the industry, for the next few years at any rate.
Future Demand P rospects
A consideration of the prospect s for
fu t u re changes in the demand for coal
involves studies and estimates as to
which of the competitive fuels will be
involv ed, how much coal production
will be a-ffected by the change, and in
what indust ries and in what regions the
demand changes will be noticeable.
The problem of competitive fuels
may be subdiv ided as follows:
Competitifle with Coal
Primary Fuels
Secondary F1tels
Natural Gas
Fuel Oil
Crude Petroleum
Kerosene
Hydro-electrical
Energy
Non-competitifle with Coal
P rimary Fuels
Secondary Fuels
None
Coke from Coal
Ma~ufactured
Gas
Coal-generated
Electrical Power

The two major competitive fuels facing coal in the market are fuel oil and
natural gas, since they account for the
largest amount of coal displaced by
substitute fuels. Expansion of hydro-

33 1

electrical power generation is limited
by power sites available, length of economical power transmission, and by
the more efficient performance of coal
using power plants. Little, if any, private development of water power is
foreseen at present, and the effect of
government development in view of the
legal and political uncertainty is at present unpredictable. Kerosene and crude
petroleum do not account for much of
the competition of substitute fuels.Fuel oil is a by-product of the gasoline manufacturing industry and the expansion of the supply from this source
depends upon the demand for gasoline
and the supply of crude oil available.
As long as the consumption of gasoline
increases and there are abundant supplies of crude oil, there will be little
incentive to recover from the crude oil
any greater percentage of gasoline than
at present, so that additional fuel oil
will be placed on the markeF to compete
with coal. As gasoline production is
likely to be maintained, the important
factor will doubtless be the supply of
crude oil. If no major discoveries of
new pools are made, the supply of crude
oil will begin to decline, and there will
be greater incentive for the refiners to
convert a larger portion of the crude
into gasoline and reduce the fuel oil
supply. With coal on a competitive
price basis with fuel oil, and with effective selling effort, improved quality,
and consuming economies, the competition from fuel oil is not likely to
increase, and may decrease.
Natural gas has been increasing as a
competitor of coal because of expansion
of pipe lines for the transportation of
surplus gas from the producing regions
to large centers of population and industry. There is a limit, however, to
the extension of pipe lines, since it
would not be economical to extend

�33 2

Harvard 'i3usiness 7.v!.,view

these lines to any but the larger areas
of population. Following the completion of these major pipe lines, expansion of gas consumption will take place
within the areas served by the existing
lines. This expansion will also have to
meet the challenge furnished by coal
through its economical use, improved
quality, and competitive price. The
National Industrial Conference Board
in 193 r estimated displacement of 20
million tons of coal as probable by
natural gas, and this in regions west of
the l\liississippi rather than east.
Reduction in coal tonnage through
additional economies in utilization will
be discussed in more detail under the
individual industrial groups, but in
general it is likely that additional
economies will not affect gross coal tonnage to the extent that they have in the
past, since the level of efficiency is
much higher now, and less percentage
improvement is to be expected and less
grt&gt;ss tonnage is affected.

Demands from the Chief Conswmers.
An analysis of the future demands for
coal in the major consuming industries
involves an estimate as to the direction
and extent of changes in the future in
the fuel needs of these industries. It
can be perhaps stated generally that unless the relation between coal prices and
competitive fuel prices changes there
will not be the great incentive for industrial users to change from coal to other
sources of fuel that existed in the early
twenties. However, advances in the
design and construction of stokers and
furnaces will take place with a view
toward economy in use of coal, and
the replacement of obsolete, inefficient
combustion units with newer units will
also tend t o reduce coal consumption.
In electric power production, one of
the large coal markets, the economies

in use will probably come from two
sources: mechanical design of equipment, and concentration of electrical
production in the larger, more efficient
plants. To what extent local and national governmental policies may tend
to offset this shift toward larger generating units is problematica l at present.
Rate reductions may increase the demand for electrical energy and th is will
be reflected in larger consumptio n. In
general, coal consumption by the electrical industry is likely t o increase
somewhat in the future.
The demand for coal from t he railroads will be influenced to a large
measure by the future prospects for
increased railroad traffic, and an estimate of the future is difficult at present
until the rate problem and competitive
influences are adjusted. Some influences
upon the railroad coal demand can be
discussed, such as fuel oil competition,
economical utilization of coal, and electrification. Fuel oil competition in this
field is not likely to increase, since the
greatest percentage of fuel oil is consumed by the railroads in two areas,
the Southwest and the Northwest. Its
use is generally restricted to regions
close to the source of supply, and extension of its use into the East and Middle West is not likely. Any extensive
modernization program by the railroads would involve a decreased demand for coal as the newer locomotives
would be of high efficiency and use less
coal per ton-mile. The new Diesel types
of locomotives may involve some decreased use of coal, but the great
bulk of the railroad traffic will continue to be hauled by steam, coal-burning locomotives.
Utilization of coal by the manufacturing industries in the future will
be influenced largely by shifts to electric power and by economies in the use

�The Future of the :Bituminous (oal Industry
of heat and fuel. This analysis leaves
out the effect of future trends in manufacturing output, which are difficult to
estimate. The use of electric power is
likely to grow in the manufacturing
industries and this shift from private
industrial power plants or steam engines to the larger central power stations will result in a lessened demand
for coal in view of the larger economies
in coal utilization realized in the larger
cent ral power plants. In so far as this
shift is to hydro-electric power, the
effec t o n the coal demand will be
materially greater. Increased attention
to possibilities for utilization of waste
steam and heat in industrial plants will
also decrease the coal consumption of
this g roup of industries.
In the iron and steel industries, it is
believed that the major economies have
already been felt as regards utilization
of coal with the development of the byproduct coke oven, utilization of a
larger percentage of scrap steel instead
of iron in the open-hearths, and in use
of waste gases around the steel plant.
There is not likely to be much reduction in demand from this source, and
any increases will be dependent upon
the rate of increase in steel production.
Bituminous coal and coke will probably increase at the expense of anthracite coal in the domestic heating market.
The development of suitable stoker arrangements for the use of small-size
coal, and suitable ash removal devices,
will enable coal to compete with fuel oil
and gas in this market. Natural gas in
the large cities will continue to be a vigorous competitor of coal as the natural
gas lines have in recent years been extended to large mid-western and Middle Atlantic states cities. Coke and
manufactured by-product gas from coal
will furnish competition for ant hracite
coal in the larger eastern cities. Coal

333

will face its greatest competition in
those areas where surplus gas production exists or areas into which this surplus gas is piped, in regions around
crude oil refineries, and in those areas
remote from coal, gas, and oil where all
three can be on a competitive price
basis. Domestic demand for energy is
likely to increase, but the competition
among the fuel sources will also increase.
The future demand prospects for
bituminous coal, in general, are not
discouraging at present, since the effect
of competitive fuels has already made
its greatest impact, future economies in
utilization are not likely to cause such a
decrease in gross tonnage as in the past,
and the industry has awakened to the
realization that it is highly competitive.
No large increases in coal demand,
other than those due to the general
business cycle, are in sight, but this
conclusion is in itself encouraging when
viewed in the l,i ght of the previously
declining trend. That these prospect s
may be realized, however, requires the
maintenance of a price for coal competitive with that of gas and fuel oil,
and of quality and service standards in
line with those of competitive fuels.
Fut1tre Marketing Prospects
The marketing side of the coal industry will receive increasing attention in
the future as it becomes necessary to
sell coal aggressively in the face of
severe competition with natural gas
and fuel oil. Informed, modern marketing policies, such as those of the Essa
Marketeers, in selling oil burners and
fuel oil, will have to be met by equally
aggressive selling. Although the price
aspect will still be important, the
consumer will demand more from coal
than its B.t.u. content. The engineering
developments would seem to lie in the
direction of a suitable, clean, simple,

�334

Harvard ~us£ness ~view

and efficient stoker and furnace. This
will i-nvolve a consideration of all the
factors desired by the domestic consumer in a fuel. Such an analysis was
given in a recent paper before the
American Institute of M ining and
Metallurgical Engineers. 3 The factors
were divided into those of cost and
those of convenience, as follows:
Cost
1. Cost of the potential heat in the fuel
z. Efficiency of combustion a nd heat
transfer
3. Fixed charges
a. Interest
b. Depreciation
c. Maintenance
4. Power costs for operation
5. Handling cost for ashes and refuse
Convenience
I. Attention and flexible control

z. Dirt
3. Noise of handling and operation
4. Ease of handling both fuel and refuse
A marketing program which began with
the development of suitable devices to
insure the domestic user of a convenience in use comparable to that of fuel
oil and natural gas, and followed up by
aggressive selling effort, would do much
to enable coal to compete effectively
with gas and fuel oil.
Io industrial marketing, coal will
have to be sold less as a bulk commodity and more as a specialty fuel. Engineering analysis of industrial steam
plants to determine the best type of
coal to use, and an analysis of the coal
seams in the mine to produce that
particular type of coal go hand in hand.
Preparation of coal bas made great
advances in the past ten years, and
will have to continue its progress as
the customer demands more energy

content per ton of coal. The con tinued
development o f the economical utilization of coal in la rge as well as in sm aU
installations will have to cont inue. The
result of all these developmen ts may be
to decrease consumption, but a small
decrease is better t han a complete displacement of many important uses for
coal by t he competitive fuels.
Research Developmt:nts

Processes are at present available for
the production of gasoline and f ucl oil
from coal, but a t such a cost as to be
prohibitive at present price levels for
these fuels. It a ppea rs likely t hat the
oil reserves of this country a re sufficient for a considerably longer period
than twenty years. E stimates of oil reserves cannot take into account with
any accuracy the amount of undiscovered oil deposits in the country, the
amounts of oil that might be profitably
recovered from existing £elds by new
processes of extraction, and the rate
and direction of the advance i.n oil
technology in the next twenty years.
The generation of oil from coal is not
likely to play any part in the coal industry for a considerable time.
Research in coal will be most profitably directed in the future toward the
use of coal as a source of heat and
power. The use of coal as a source of
chemicals, such as ammonia and methanol, could account for only a small
prop_ortion of the total coal production
at the present stage of demand from
the chemical industries. Coal as a raw
fuel is manifestly uneconomic, since
only a small percentage of the energy
in the raw coal is converted into useful
work. Research is at present under way
both in this country and abroad on
methods of converting raw coal into
liquid or highly pulverized forms suitable for use in direct competitioo•with

l 11ternal Condition,
Any program of aggressive marketing, widespread research, or intelligent
mining and prepa ration work in the
coal industry, will require a more stable and p rofitable industry than exists
a t present. T he p resent is not, howc,·er, an unusual stage in the history
of t he coal industry in this country.
~J!en long experienced in the coal
industry have often expressed the view
that the coal ind ustry has only been
p rofitable .,,,hen externaJ , artificial factors entered in to t he demand or supply
situation. U nder this heading are listed
labor disputes, either here or abroad,
ra ilroad ca r s ho rtages, and war demands. There has always been a more
t ha n adequate supply of coal, and
overcapacity has been a factor in the
industry even prior to this century. As
long as demand was increasing, however, the effect of this overcapacity
was not as severe as at present, when
demand is stationary or falling.
It is evident from the NRA figures
quoted previously that no large margin of profit exists for the industry as
a whole. Yet large-scale reduction of
operating costs is not feasible. Overhead charges are likely to increase
rather than to decrease with the continued emphasis on mechanization-and
preparation. Labor efficiency may be
improved but some additional equipment would be required to aid in this
development. This emphasis on mecnanization gives rise to a situation in
which the mechanized mine can produce coal at less cost per ton, but only
when operations can be carried on in
some continuous and regular fashion.
This regularity of operation is difficult
to obtain in the coal industry, with the

335

intense price competition among different producing regions and among concerns in the same region.
Labor costs, although 65% of the
cost of coal at the mine, are certainly
not a place for reduction when, under
present conditions of irregular operation and the oversupply of miners, the
annual wage per worker is not sufficient to provide a minimum standard
of existence. Although the wage rate
may appear high in the coal industry,
the situation is quite like that of the
construction industry, in that work is
provided for only part of the year in
periods of two or three days at a time.
To provide anything approaching an
adequate income to the worker under
these conditions, a high daily or tonnage rate is necessary. :M ore regularity
of work would alter this situation, of
course. A larger a1inual income for the
worker should be the goal, through
higher wage rates or equalized production spread over the year among fewer
mines to provide regular operation.
Reduction in royalties is not likely
in view of the large number of individual contracts that would have to
be reopened, and the difficulties in
reaching new agreements. Taxes, especially those on coal reserves, are a
major problem for those concerns.with
large undeveloped coal lands. Adjustment of these rates is also difficult as
much of the income of the various
local government agencies in the coal
regions, such as school boards, is derived from this source, and alternate
sources are lacking if mining is the
major industry of the region.
One fertile field for the reduction
of cost lies in the area of safety. Reference to the NRA figures given in
Table II, page 329, will show that
the weighted average of compensation
costs for the industry was recently

�,

Harvard c.Busz'ness 'R..f..,vz'ew
4.9 cents a ton, with a range from 3.12
cents to 8.6 cents among the districts.
This amount in itself may not seem
significant, but in comparison with an
average margin of 2.7 cents a ton it
assumes larger proportions. Plainly
stated, compensation costs for the industry as a whole are almost twice
the profit per ton of coal produced.
This item is assuming increasing im-

sive mine managements. There are
other places for economy, but many of
these require large expenditures which
the coal industry is unable to make
under present conditions.
Political measures for the aid of the
coal industry's ills have not been considered, since much of the discussion regarding such proposals is conditioned

portance for an industry that has now
to think in cents per ton instead of
dollars per ton, as was once the custom.
. The experience of one large coal mining company in western Pennsylvania
in reducing compensation cost is given
in 'Table IV. In the reduction of compensation cost from 8.1 cents a ton in
1930 to 0.7 cents a ton in 1934, this
company has established the fact that
such costs are capable of great reductions, and that such savings appear in
the profit column, since the cost of accident prevention is usually small. Here
is a source of cost reduction that will
be utilized more often in the future as
.the industry becomes more conscious
of the radical change fr~m dollars per
ton· margins to cents per ton margins.
This is given as one example of efficiency that could be utilized by aggres-

by one's own ideas as to t he relations
possible between government and industry, politics, and economics. It is
important, however, that any such
measures face the existing problems
in a realistic manner, and that they
should be discussed on that basis.
Any measures taken, whether by
operators, miners, or the government,
must face the real fact that coal is
now a competitive fuel. It roust meet in
the market the competition of natural
gas and fuel oil. A program for the industry which neglects this fundamental
fact is doomed to failure. Couple this
external situation with the internal
situation of excess capacity, severe
competition among companies and
regions, and an operating loss for the
industry generally, and we have placed
the problem of the coal industry in a
realistic perspective.

Bright Season Ahead
For f=scori:ed Tours

• In SCIENCE AND MECHANICS
April issue, there is o feature article
by Stanley A. Dennis, giving complete
details about Union Pacific's new
steam-electric locomotive.

The 1939 summer season promises to be exceptionally good for western vocation travel, according to
John C. Pollock, Manager of the
Depa rtment of Tours of the Chicago
&amp; Nor th Western- Union Pacific.

• If your patrons are to be shortvisit tourists in Salt Lake, it is suggested that they take advantage of
the Gray Line Motor Tours to see
romantic and historic points of the
city. Many popular tours hove been
scheduled for between train visitors
because of the expected heavy weste rn tTavel this year.

Mr. Pollock bases his prediction not
only on the natural desire of Americans to see the scenic wonderlands of
the West, but also on the fact that
all the tours operated by the North
Western-Union Pacific ore, by actual
comparison, lower in price than those
of 1938.
Then, too, t~ere's the Golden Gote
International Expasition at Son Francisco. For this outstonding event the
Deportment of Tours hos added a
special series of tours. All told, there
will be thirty-one California tours
during the summer season, and oll
of them will include the Exposition.

"The nation wants this railroad. It is a great artery
through which will flow the
gold and silver of the West
into the empty treasuries of
the East, grain and cattle
into the war-tom South, with
the goods of the East flowing
back along its length into

the new empire of the West.
Thousands of men want it for
the work it will bring, and
the merchants of the world
want it for a shorter route to
the Orient. The millions who
will build cities and claim
farms along the railroadsthey all want iL"

�"Few words in the American lexicon possess such power lo Joy hold
upon the imagination as 'Union

Pacific are conquest and commerce,
destnw and dynasties, the essence
of .a nation, young, tough, blasphe mous, prodigal, with the fu ture

wonderful West lay beyond the
rnllheo.d. The desert and tho sunset
called men from the salmon weirs
and downland meadows of Kennebec, from the feuds and ballad
English ol the Kentucky mountains
.. jts movement was laid against the
Nebrash com fields, orchestrated

to gunfire, the songs of County
• Mayo ond the chauer of minted
gold ... More than anything else
vitality surged westward with th~
course of the ever-lengthening rails

Motives

State Coal 1\1.ine Inspector, Tbos. Allen, reports
Colorado coal mine production for April was 300,759 tons and 7,306 men were employed. That
amount brought the 1937 output up to 2,840,731
tons, an increase of 263,436 tons over corresponding period of l 936. The number of mines reporting
was 233, average number of days worked in the
four months was 69.2, and the average number of/ /
men employed "9.688.
The Spanish government has decided that in or•
der to control the national production to nationalize
all lhe collieries and allied interests in the Republican portion of Spain.
Coal deposits on the Faroe Islands that are expected one day to be of great importance to Denmark and her colonies (reliable estimates fixing
them at 100 million tons} are to be opened up
and a port of shipment is now being laid out.
Russian anthracite coal from the Donetz Basin
entered the United States in 1936 lo the extent of
4-03,193 tons through New England ports. Other
imports of anthracite were British 14-0,649 tons;
Canada 3,169; Netherlands 1,234,; French IndoChina 550.

Some work for health's sake,

Union Pacific New Streamlined
Stea m Locomotive

Pictured below is the Union Pacific Railroad's
first all-streamlined steam locomotive and one of
three different types of experimental streamlined
steam-powered locomotives. No. 2906 is n ot just a
regular steam locomotive with a streamlined jacket,
but is an engine which has been entirely redesigned
for high speed service. Its operating speed with a
normal train will be approximately 100 miles per
hour, although the 2906 has already run at speeds
in excess of this. No. 2906 is painted similar to the
distinctive color scheme used on the Streamliners:
leaf brown, Armour y ellow, scarlet and gold striping and with bright metal chromium plated trimmings. On account of speeds at which this locomotive will operate, the conventional plain bearings
have been replaced with roller bearings. The main
rods and side rods are made of a special hi gh
strength steel and fitted with roller bearings.

Er-IPLOYES' MAGAZINE

The Frozen Girl
our thoughts yet submerged with the
memories of the Old Timers annual reunion,
everything that pertains to past and gone days
evokes new memories, and a revival of our earlier
and more youthful sentiment.
While riding through the state of Indiana re.
cently, the home of James Whitcomb Riley, who
wrote much old-fashioned poetry, we picked up a
local newspaper, finding therein the poem repro•
duced below. This verse, which carries little of real
poesy, will prove interesting to many of our reade rs, representing, as it does, a fine example of frontier Ii terary balladry.
That we who live in a more sophisticated age
still like to read and hear old-time ballads, however primitive, is born out by the fact that a continuous stream of selections of this character, in•
eluding "The Lonesome Cowboy," "Home on the
Range, "The End of the Trail", etc., are yet looked
for and listened to.
As a matter of fact, all "Charlotties" are beautiful, hut we doubt very much whether this "gal"
who "Jived on a mountain top in a bleak and
lonely spot'', ever attempted to accompany her
swain on a fifteen-mile drive on a fearsome night,
protected by a silken cloak and scarf. As an example of high pressure sentiment and tragedy, the
story of Charlottie and her Charles is worth while.

W

ITH

FROZEN GIRL
Charlottie 1ived on a mountain top in a bleak and
lonely spot,
There were no other dwellings there except her
father's cot;
And yet, on many a wintry night, young swains
were gathered there;
Her father kept a social board and she was very
fair.
On a New Year's eve, as the sun went down, far
looked her wishful eye
Out from the frosty window pane a merry sleigh
dashed by.
At a village fifteen miles away was to be a hall
that night,
And though the air was piercing cold her heart
was warm and Jight.
How brightly gleamed her laughing eye, as a wellknown voice she heard,
And. dashing up to the cottage door her lover's
sleigh appeared.
"Oh, daughter, dear," her mother cried, "This hlan. k!lt 'round you fold;
Tonight is a dreadful one, you'll catch your death
of cold."
"Oh, nay, oh, nay!" Charlot tie cried, as she laughed
like a gypsy queen,

305
,t
''To ride in blankets muffled I never would be
seen;
My silken cloak is quite enough, you know 'tis
lined throughout,
And there's my silken scarf to twine my head and
neck about."
Her bonnet and her gloves were on, she leaped into
the sleigh,
And swiftly they sped down the mountain side and
o'er the hills away.
With muffled beat so silently five miles at length
were passed,
When Charles with few and shivering words the
silence broke at last:

"Such a dreadful night I never saw, the reins
can scarcely hold";
Charlottie faintly then replied, "l am exceeding
cold."
He cracked his whip, he urged his steed much faster
than before;
And thus five other weary miles in silence were
passed o'er.
Said Charles: "How fast the shivering ice is gathering on my brow."
And Charlottie then more faintly cried, "I'm grow. warmer now."
mg
Thus on they rode through frosty air and tl1e glit•
tering cold star-light,
Until at last the village lamps and the ballroom
came in sight.
They reached the door and Charles sprang out; he
reached his hand to her,
"Why sit you there like a monument that has no
power to stir?"
He called her once, he called her twice, she answered not a word;
He asked her for her hand again, but still she
never stirred.
He took her hand in his-'twa.s cold and hard as
any stone;
He tore the mantle from her face, the cold stars o'er
it shone.
Then quickly to the lighted hall her lifeless form
he bore:
Charlottie's eyes had closed for aye, her voice was
heard no more.
And there he sat down by her side, while bitter
tears did flow,
And cried, "My own, my charming bride, this you
may never know."
He twined his arms around her neck, he kissed her
-, marble brow;
His thoughts flew hack to where she said, "I'm
growing warmer now."

letter of November 11 regarding injury to George 'll . Copyak, Stansbury Mine,

on date Novemer 7, 1947;
The injury is not to be counted as a lost-time injury due to the

f'act that the workman has returned to work within the time specified by law.
Mr. Copyak has apparently recovered from the eye injury although it is too
early to determine whether or not he has suffered arw impairment percsntage

of loss of sight of the eye.

Mr. H. ~- Livingston:
Referring to your letter of November 11th regarding injury to George W. Oopyak, Stansbury, who was
struck in the eye by a rake handle, November 7th:
Is this case to be counted as a lost time. injury'l

If so, should not his name be shown in your let-

ter of November 29th, listing lost-time injuries during
the month of November?

Also, if this is to be included

among our lost-time accidents for this year, it would
seem to be necessary to renumber the accidents occurring
since that date.

I note that the injury on November 8th

to George A. Giovanini was counted as No. 25, and ~e
fatal.ity at Superior on December 9th, Lauri Bergren, Sr.,
is shown as No. 26.
Please advise, also giving me report of this
man's present condition, and whether any disability has
resulted.

Dear Mr.Livingston:

I am just in receipt of a letter of appreciation from Er. Fred

I am embarrassed to note from this letter that apparently

Mr .Havard would have taken occasion to ^vrite to you personally, and I
want you to know that our organization are very grateful to you for per­

Dear

Livingston:

I want to thank you very much for your generous hospitality in permitting
me to visit your coal mining operations. The information I gathered on
the Universal Cutting Machine will be most helpful to us in our planning.

Mr. J. Q。Berta was most courteous and informative, and it was a very
real pleasure to have him as an expert guide.

I regret that you were out of tov/n and. that I did not have the pleasure
of meeting you and of thanking you personally.

Mr。 H. C. Livingston
Vice Pres., Operations
Union Pacific Coal Company
Rock Springs, Vfyoming

Dear Bunny,
First I wish to thank you for the courtesies exbended on our
recent visit to Rock Springs. Vem went overboard to show us the
things we wanted to see and I am sure the new 7O-U.R.C. cutter is
what we need in some places for the high coal at Geneva Minep

We would appreciate some information relative to the rate pre­
sently being paid by the Union Pacific Coal Company for loader head­
man when this man*s duties reouire that he go to the face and help
the face crew in the preparation of coal, cleaning up along the shaker
pan line, etc. Vfe are paying the rate provided for in our 1941 basic
contract and carried forward in the 1948 contract of $15.26 per day.
Our contract also provides two other rates, viz, nShoveling onto
conveyor at face @ $15.56 and Faceman © $15.75"。
It is contended by the Union representatives that where men are
required to leave the loader head to do other work in the face one
of the higher rates should be paido
It has been ny contention that at the time ths loader head rate
was established, sama was done to eliminate payment on split rates
and it was understood at the tin® that the loader headman would con­
tinue the practice of lending all assistance possible in cleaning
up, timbering and preparing coal in the face.

Now it is contended that this practice is not generally fol­
lowed in doming. Here in Utah, of course5 I know that it is noto
I have told Mr。Frank Fox that I would in the future be guided by
the practice your company has established for payment of loader
headman^ You understand that there is nc controversy where the men
on the loader heads are not required to help in the preparation of
coal. In other words, belt conveyors used for transportation pur­
poses only do not enter the discussion^

�I would very much appreciate learning of your present prac­
tice relative to the foregoing&lt;&gt;

I hava no hesitancy in following practices established in
Iteming where the contractual relationship of operator and U.虬
of A. has long been established。With Utah it is different0
Practically no two companies follow the same procedure, each
establishing practices to them seem most expedient vriLthout regard
to contracts I am told that one operation here in Utah pays the
highest rate for every person amployed around or in a mobile leader
section^ Such practices not only make it tough for other opera­
tors who do not follow such practices, but it is also tough upon
Union Officials as well, as they are high pressured by their mem­
bership for similar payments elsewhere4 Hence a lot of controversy©

I have suggested to Vern that you investigate the Joy 10 S.C0
shuttle car before buying more Jeffrey cars. We were impressed with
the two outside hoists at Stansbury• We contemplate the purchase
soon of a hoist for Cclumbia and the Vulcan-Denver hoist appealed
to us veiy 皿ch。

Thanlcs again for courtesies extended on our recent visit。

Of course ve h~ve a good many committees e&amp;ch ye&amp;r to

After· the reports have been received,

The suhjeot of handling oaterial in and around coal
•mines is a large subject if the question is aneJ..yzed in
detnil. The Union Pncific Coal Company maintains what we
term material roomo nt e~ch mine or district. These rooms
or warehouses are in the charge of a material clerk. Requisitions are presented at the uarehouse, signed by properly
authorized aP,ent to secure the kind or class of material
necessary for either surface or mine use. All supplies
are accounted for through this material offioe, even to the
receipt of large individual unite of mining equipment.
Ordinary repairs for mining machines, locomotives,
loading machines, eto., are warehoused and carried in tJhat
tte term our material balance.
\·,e endeavor to anticipate the immediate requirements

and carry sufficient t3'tock to maintain the mine in any

district for a period of not less than 30 days. Inventories
are taken by our auaiting department once each yearo If

Dear Mr. Bayle SB:

I am -hoping . to be in Omaha on Tue sday, June 7th, en route

to Rock Springs.

You asked me to call in to see you and this or

the followir..g day would be most suitable for me.

H.owever, if it

is not com1 enient for you, please just sa.y so e.nd I will try to

make it a da,y earlier or any da.y later that t,. reek.
Richard Weaver is traveling with me at the moment; he i,;9
assistant secretary to the ~lnister of Fuel and Power, Great Britain.

r ·~ope it will be possible for me to bring him along also.

He is

interested in the personnel aspect, welfare and. training.

He may

also visit the oilfields.

• I came to the U.s .A. to see how tr..e job is done, not merely .
the techniques but a.s much of the whole approach to min_ing coal

as is possible for an observer to absorb.
Methods of _supervision, payments and costing as well as
the actual working methods are of great interest to me.

It is

rat.her a large subject, but it seems to me impossible to isolate
single aspects of mining withput forming a distorted picture.
We should hope to go on to Rock Springs after seeing you and
epend two or three weeks there.

If you should wish to alter these

arrangements, please write c/o General Delivery, Iron River, Michigan,
where I shall be June 1-3. Thank you.

Yours .truly, Dortald Hindson

oear Mr. Platt:
Your letter of July 19th, addressed to !'Jr. Livineston,
was· received la.st gonday. For your information, Mr. Livingston
left the services of The Union Pacific Coal Company December 31,
1951, is now rrorldng for the Truax-Traer Coal Company, and resides
in Chicago at the present time.
For your in.formation, since you were here v;e have placed
one Joy Continuous Miner in Reliance No. ll Seam and one Joy
Continuous Miner in Superior No. 7½ Seam and are also using Joy
Shuttle Cars in conjunction with the Continuous Miners. Top
Cutters, Joy Loaders and Joy Shuttle Cars dlll!lp onto conveyor belts
in Stansbury, Superior, and Hanna. Mines.
iJe have not reached the maximum production from the
Continuous Uiners at the Superior and Reliance districts that we
expected, but we are doing very good with the Joy Loader and
Shuttle Cars dumping onto conveyor belts at Stansbury and. Hanna
districts. rle do not consider the replacing of the shaking

assured that their operation will be a success when we gradually
eliminate the shaking conveyors.

ne have curtailed our operations considerably in the
last six months of this year, shutting dorm one shift operation
at the Reliance district and closing down the Uinton district for
a period of ti.me. Honever, the Hercules Powder Company through
their magazine 11 The Explosives Engineer" wrote up operations of
The Union Pacific Coal Company; same being recently published in
their May-June issue which I thought l7ould be of considerable

I tJke this opportunity to thank you for past
favours and request you 0 please 0 to remember me to Vernon

Dear Mr. Livingston,

II

Many thanks for sending me the
details of your latest mining development.

F

I am very happy to learn that
the report which I received regarding your
Stansbury mine was \trong and that, apart from
John L., you are all doing fine.
There is a vecy inspiring tone
about your letter and it would do more good than
all the Marshall Aid ·Progra.mm.e to put one of our
big Indian coal properties under an all American
management.
Having had the opportunity to
see some of the world it is clear that the root
of the problem is the lack of the American approach .
which is neatly summed up in the phrase 11 The difficult we do rightaway, the impossible takes a little
while longer".
With best wishes for the New Year.

Dear Hr. Platt:

l'ie are happ;y· to have your l etter of date October 13, 1949,
and trust that conditions in Calcutt.a are not quite as confusing as
th0y are in the states at the present time.
You. no doubt, know that r.ir. Lenis is off on another tirade
and the basic industri e s are !10\'! at a standstill.
·:.e are attaching copy of papar , to ether nith illustrations,
presented by the undersigned a"i:. the February meeting of the A. I. H.E.
and read by Chief Engineer Charles at the recent coal convention.

The information transmitted by your assistant, Jain, to the
effect that tho Stansbury Hine has been closed due to roof trouble
is entirely erroneous. The developnent of the mine is continuine and
ue ara now in the process of installing a trackless mining system
very similar to that described and illustrated in the attachments.
Our entire staff is in Good health 211d spirit and ready to

accept the challenge of the times.

We will be happy to hnve you call

on us at your convenience.
Kindest wishes,

Cordially,

Dear nr . Livingston ,
You may r emember that I .ad the privilege of studying
your method of mining at Stansbury Hi ne nearly tHo ye ars ago .
~.ow I learn that you have written a p2.per dealing with
a new method using belt conveyo rs and I 1-rould be mo st grateful to you if you
1-rould send me a copy of your paper whi ch H s r ead by l'1r . Charle s at the rec ent
Coal Convent i on .
NJ7 assistant , Jain, Hho r e cently r e t urned to India , t ells
me that Stansbu ry Nine had been closed due to roof troubl e . I sincerely hope
that he is Hrong and has been ms-info rmed. If yo have experience d any roo f control
difficulty I would be pleased to lear n anythi ng which ' OU woul care to t ell me
because I h?.ve made a s pe ci 1 study o pilla r extraction .nd I thought when I was
at Stansbury that you had a opt ed a s;ystcm ,·rhich gave r oof control equal to Longwall
1d t hom the d::-m-Jbacks of the longi.1all s;-;rstem . You had a ' stepped face ' effect
gi ving a brea: ing line r.i.ore t .1c&gt;.n 300 ft . l ong and t .1e abutment pr~ ssure seemed to
be well suppo1·ted on the solid coal as at no t i me did I see a n'iJ floor lift or other
signs of excessive pressure i n t he i,ror king place s .

De~ Newt;
It is now 11:10 and your.. hotel advises that- you
have checked out, which makes me feel you may have had, to
get back to Ome.ha quickly and will thus be unable to · come
out and see us today as ·we had plannedo

In the first place, Newt, I wish yqu _would lean
on us to make reservations for you and to be of any help
possible when you have occasion to come to Chioagoo We will
be very g~ad to do this for you_o
•

I still hope you will be out today, but 1n case
you are not able to come out I am giving you herewith the information regarding the men I spoke to you about last nighto
One of them is .a Mr. Sidney H. Platt and the other is a Mr.'
Robert Gillis o Mr o Platt is wi t _h Kilborn and Company in'
India and is here for the purpose of being brought up-todate on American mining methodso
He is a good mining man
and -will -add great strength to the Kilborn organ.1z ation, who
are our agents in . Indiao .
Mr . .Gillis is an employe of United Steele of
Great Britain, which company is manufacturing Goodman
equipment under a license agreement with us, this equipment
to be used in the British Isles and for export when authorized by us~
Mro Gillis impressed me very favorably, what
little I saw of him, before he went to .Kentucky two weeks
agoo He will be the top man for ·looking after service on
our _equipment 1n the United S~·e els organization,
They have studied the use of -our equipment in the
west Kentucky seams and elsewhere, and plan to reach Rock .
Springs Tuesday morning, November 18 1 which is, I believe,
the _day ·you and I set last night . .
_
I should like to have both of these mai visit
your mines, Newt, and not only see the equipment, but al~o
learn a good deal about your very efficient orgahization
which has so large a bearing on the successful use of new
types of mechanical equi.J)ment.

With kindest personal regards, I am
Yours sincerely,

Rock· Springs, Wyoming
Dear Sir:
I .have newly arrived in New York from Scotland, and
am about to start a three months' tour of the coal fields of
America. Mr. H. R. King of the Fife Coal Coy, Scotland, has,
. I think, already ~itten to you about my visit, and has kindly
given me a letter of introduction to you . .
I am a junior official of the Fife Coal Coy, and I wish
to learn- as much as possible .during my brief stay, about American
methods of mining. I have been repeatedly advised by Dr. Wm. •
Rei?-, Mr. G. R. Buchanan and Mr. King that I should spend as much
time as I can with your company.
I should be most grateful therefore if I might make a
~four weeks' stay at Rock -Springs. I am interested in both surface
and underground layouts, but mainly, of course, in Duckbills.
'

I am going first to the Pittsburgh and Scranton areas, ~
and hope to visit Chicago on my ·way West. I should like to come
to Rock Springs on the let October.
•
I hope that. this will be suitable to you, and will not ·
inconvenience you in any way. , If it should, please let m.e know.
In the- meantime may I take the liberty of advising my friends, at
home to write to me c/o Union Pacific? I have otherwise no
fixed address and I can collect the letters when I arrive .
.For the next two ,weeks I am afrs.id the only address
I can give is c/o Mines Safety Appliances Co., Pittsburgh,. ·Pa.
I shall be most grateful to hear from you.
I

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Io No Bayless:
Yours of the 12th with oopy of letter from Mr. Mitcheson
and clipping which I have read.

He wrote me a similar letter

some time ago, and of course they are headed for nationalization.
Mr. Mitcheson is a very bright and gracious mang and
of course we are close to the British people, but I have the feeling that they are inclined to lean on us too much economically
and sooner or later that is going to provoke controversies.

Dear Mr. Mitoheson:
This will a.clmcmledge the receipt of your lotter of December
5th which arrived today. I em ver7 glad to hear from you and to kno,;1 that

you arrived homs safelyo

We hsve been h0arlng much on the radio and have read some in our
p~pors regarding the nationalization ploo nou being adoptcl by the British
Isles. Ho;1ever» we do not have enough inforl.ilation to make compstent critics.
As rJill Rogers used to say 11 All we kno\·1 is tJhat t:Je read .in the papers." Of
course, we have had the ploastlI:'e of maeting a number of Britishers in ~he
pa.st fe..-1 years and they have given us quite a history of their mining operations. Wa were very sorry to lea:r:n that Churchill r1as defeat0d in the olectionQ We expected, of cours0, after the def'Gat of the government, -for labor
to talre &lt;Wer and at least an attempt to bs made to nationalize or socialize
your industcyo Our government at the present time, -and I might say for the
past 12 or 14 yeo.rs, has leaned very much tor;ard labor; however., vie feel
that management and labor did do n tremendous job- in production to\mrd the
war effort.

From reading the papers., you would gather that there is much more
confusion in this country than there really is at this time. Somo of the
mines in the East \'lere out ror a number of days on account of a wild cat
foreman's strike, lir. John L. Lewis, National. President of the United Mine
V'lorkera of America attempted to capitalize this a trik but waa finally' forced
to order the n to return to work. '!his did not affect The Union Paci.fie
Ooal Company •. we have had no labor trouble which interrupt;ed mine oper.ations
for a number or years I dth the exception, of course., of the times that the
national organization requested they lay idle for a few days in 1943, merely.,
I suppose, to demonstrate to the government that it· could be done. • We are
still working full tine and as the year com s to a close, ue still think we
will probab).Jr produce 6.,;00,000 tons of coalo
We have a national wage negotiation coming up betm:ien January and
the first of April next year; just what the outcome will be is difficult to

�__,,

sayo Just at this time the automotive industry is going through the
______,-,--~·•·--- ··
tlu~m-18 of strikes and 11age negotiations. Much of the publicity being
put out at this time is due to the repQrt:.ers endeavoring to gain soma
sensational nows. Since the ending of the war, the papers must keap
some subject before the public for discussiono I do not mean to sey that
this country ia ~tabilized as there are a great many __uncertaintias in
•
the iinmcdiQ.te future. But we ·ha,Ve-,all ~.c::.9me through the crisis and I
f' eel confident that the English )speaking -paople will again be able to
settle any difficulties YJhich may arise among themselves. We feel that
tho ·.last fev1 days• financial _negotia.ton b0tv1een our country and th6l ·
British Isles has overcome some of the obstacles which have probably
caused some a.nxietyo You may look forward., however., to a number of
people in and o:ut of congress who vdll say a good many unkindly things
in the near future which should not. be taken too seriously by ·t he Britishers.

My dear Mr. Bayless,
I feel so ashamed not to have written to you long ago to let you
know of my safe arrival at home and to thank you again for all your kindness
to me at Rock Springs. I did and do so very much appreciate what you did for
me - a perfect stranger - all the time you personally spared me and the
facilities which you placed at my disposal to learn from your excellent
organization how to try to do things better over here. I only wish I could
have managed to stay longer to learn it better! But I feel my trip to U.S.A.
was well worthwhile chiefly on account of seeing your Company and meeting you.·
grand folk in Wyoming. I wrote a little note for our local paper 11 The
Birmingham Mail 11 and I enclose a cutting in case you would have time to read
it. - It does try to express something of my sense of gratitude for I do feel
most deeply grateful for all the kindness shown me, above all at Rock Springs.
I arrived home to a sorry political mess! We are definitely to become Nationalized whatever that may mean exactly. At least, I hope we shall
be left some local autonomy and not tied to civil servants in Whitehall for
everything. We a re promised this but politicians are a queer lot and are
easily swayed by agitation so what exactly we are in for, no one knows. However, we will try our best to make the new set up work as it is what the people
wanted but I fear the pleasure in management will be largely gone if one is
to be at the beck and call of interminable committees and controllers and
what not.

I note you seem to be having a lot of labour trouble - I do trust
that you will soon get your people settled down and be able to apply yourself
to production in your wonderful 11 all out 11 way which I came to admire so much.
Anyway I would be surprised to learn that you have at U.P.C.C. any serious
labour troubles - your relations with your men seemed to be so good, based on
fair play and natural respect and trust. It was a real joy to see how far
this was possible and a real encouragement too.
Please remember me to all my friends on your . staff. I have such
happy memories of them and their care for me. , Trusting Mrs. Bayless is well
and the children.
Yours very sincerely,
J.C. Mitcheson

Dear Mr. Bayless:

On Monday June 11, in Rock Springs, I plan to
meet a Mr. Haslam of the British firm; Thomas
Firth and John Brown, Ltd . . Mr. Haslam is an
official of this company and is interested in
seeing American made mining equipment, particularly a type suitable to pitching seam work.
We would like very much to have him see the
Stansbury Mine and also probably Superior or
Reliance. He would like most of all, I am sure,
to speftd a little time with you in a general
discussion. If you have time available on the
morning of June 11 I will bring him to your office early.
Yours very sincerely

It now appears that general efforts in Great Brita.in to

nationalize the mines are causing the operators to hesitate on th~
expenditures of money and try to get togethor in defense of their position

which doea ·not lend itself to the individual mechanization of mines.

our engineer □ uho hnve been on the other side, \11th occ1::1eiona1
references to your nctivi•~ies in· the British nnd ~meriorui oo&amp;l
trade pnpers.
It1rs. !:foAuliffe and oUX' dau~hter, Kathleen, are

very t-rell and things are i---unning along on an even keel e::,coept
that our fight to get sufficient mine lubor end to get soae

reasonable measure of i:.·JOrlt out of -them calls for just about as
much ingenuity as does the conduct of some section of the war
effort. Houever O'lll'" results ax•e, generally speaking, bloodless;
although the character of people r.-1 e are compelled to recruit
doea result in an occasional murder.
I surrendered the presidency of the company to

, r.li:·. Beyleas, ·'t'1ho has been t"'71th us since 1929~;&gt; as of November let

·lest, Nr. Pryde retired on a pension. Our production l ast year
wo.s 6,300,822 short tone, s.nd-'t're ore runnin?; about th~ same so
far thiG year.

Any comment on the recent wage negotiations uould
be superfluous. The facts are the uages are now ao high in the
bituminous mines at least that eff1o1enoy and continuity of service have gone into the discard.

I hope to see you after the uar concludes; it is
