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.

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.

�~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

�The Future of the Bituminous
Coal Industry

By JOHN T. RYAN, JR.

REPRINTED FROM

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
SPRING, 1936

�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.
I Wolfe, Thomas M., "Recent Changes in the Bitua
minous Coal Industry," X HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
i, January, 193:, p. 149.

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

�Harvard &lt;:Business W,eview
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

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.

• An afternoon service on Easter
Sunday will toke place in on impressive natural setting in Zion Notiona l
Pork. At the base of vividly colored
carved sandstone cliffs, a cost of 500
persons will participate in a solemn
and moving drama of the Hrst Easter.

From the north and south, and
from, the east o,:id ~est, there will
be visitors streaming into Omaha far
the most outstanding event of its
kind ever staged. Because of the
railroads announcing special rotes
and the interest shown by others,
Golden Spike Days is expected to ot•
tract at least 100,000 people to
Omaha.
The four-day celebration known as
Golden Spike Days, is being held in
connection with the world premiere In
Omaha, April 28, of Cecil B. DeMille's
Paramount picture "Union Pacific."
Among those who are to toke port in
this great occasion, will be Hollywood
celebrities; many of the notions
prominent business men; presidents
and other high-ranking railroad officials; Union Pacific's Board of Direc-

tors; civic, business and labor interest~ of the community; and nei~hboring towns. All grO\lps ore jaming hands to pay tribute to the Union
Pacific Railroad in honor of its 70th
anniversary.

include tours to the Colorado Rockies; Yellow.stone's Land o' Magic;
Zion-Bryce-Grand Canyon National
Porks of Utah-Arizona; the famous
year 'round sports center, Sun Valley,
Idaho; the Pacific Northwest-Canadian Rockies; Alosko, Land of the
Midnight Sun. Mexico, too, will be
included in the itinerary of certain
California tours.
These western outings ore of varying length, ranging from 8 to 27
days, thus meeting the requirements
of vocationists whose time Is limited.
They still hove on opportunity for o
glorious vocation in the scenic and
untrammeled west.
1939 marks the fortieth year of
continuous tour operation for the
Chicago &amp; North Western-Union Pocific. Such a wealth of exp.e rience
places the Deportment of Tours in a
position to know what to do and how
to do it in giving its patrons "the
vacation that approaches perfection."

Pacific Coasts a nd vocation sea son approaching, oil
of us should get in a nd pitch to obtain results
that will indicate we ore giving our full support
to this compoign. When business is hard to get,
we must go ofter it harder. There should never
be o let- up in our soles efforts.
And the time to go ofter business is now.
Seventeen ladies ore proving this by chotlcng,ng
1 5 men in the A. E. S. A. Deportment, Oma ha,
that they ore bigger ond better boosters than
the men. Both of these teams ore go,ng ofter
the business and getting it. For them the word
now is being spelled backwards . . . . won ! In•
cidentolly, the losing team is to treat the winners
to a dinner ot one of the leading hotels.
Let's go! Make each hour of the day more
productive for the remainder of this campaign.
Convince yourself that you ore going to put your
shoulder against the wheel and help push your
Division over the top.

"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"

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•

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.

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.

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."
