PA. June 30, 1931. Mr. I. N. Bayless, Asst. General Manager, Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Viyoming. Dear Sir: Tie have spent the last feu• days discussing and considering the application of what ue learned at your mines to our omi • conditions . . we find that the time \7e spent at Rock Springs has given us a fine background of information that will enable us to go a long ways in our omi mechan­ ization plans and that we \7ill avoid many errors that we would otherwise have made if \7e • had not seen something of your methods. The discussions ue had uith you and your superintendents has also thromi • considerable light on the problems \7hich you encountered in mechanizing your mines to the extent of loading l¾ million tons per year mechanically. Although our problems are different than yours the same control and we feel that the information we obtained is principles uill • invaluable. I received the statements you mailed me which revise practically to date the information as to capital investment, production etc., that was published in the Mining Congress Journal in February 1930, and I appreciate getting this information so quickly after it was requested. In making our estimates this information will be of great value in determining the reasonableness of the capital expenditures we will have to make in order to mechanize any of our mines. 1'.a.y I again express the appreciation and thanks of myself and my operating colleagues t:r. Baylor and Mr. Fancourt for your consideration and hospitality which we feel can never be adequately repaid. If we can ever be of any assistance to you or your organization we would welcome the opportunity to repay your hospitality. Very truly yours, hlining Engineer. �PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK C O MMERCIAL TRUST BUILDING I BROADWAY HE BERWIND-WHITE COAL MINING COMPANY EUREKA BITUMINOUS COAL WINDBER , PA.

The latter is given to all empl oyees , the forl'.ile r just to those in an official or semi officia l capacity. The Safety Rules for Employees is printed in seve ral different languages besides English as many of our old t ime employees do not thoroughly understand English.

If you should happen to desire any further information as to our Safety Program do not hesitate to call on us.

Yours very truly, FSS JS �THE HUDSON COAL COMPANY OFFICE OF GENERAL MANAGER CAOWALLAOER SCRANTON , PA. EVANS . JR. Daoember 9th, 193). GENERAL MANAGER Mr. George B. Pryde, Vice President & General Manager, Union Pacific Co al Com:pg.ny, Rock Springs 9 '\Vyoming. Dear Mr. Pryde : This letter is to repeat to you the appreciation that I feel for the magnificent treatment which you and your staff gave to me while I was in Rock Springs. It was very kind indeed of you to devote your tirre to ma, and I assure you that I appreciate your courtesy. The admirable arrangemen ts which were made enabled me to see far mare in two days than I ba.d expected to be able to see. Soma da.v I hope that you will come east and visit the anthracite region so as to observe our development of irechanical loading, and if you do I hope that you will give me an opportunity to entertain you, so that I can, in some small measura, repay the kindness which you have shown me. No doubt Mr. Saunders has told you of our hectio trip to Craig. The liveryman certainly "pulled a hot one" on us when he took us out on tlle desert in a broken-down Willys-Knight instead of the Cadillac which ha was supposed to :pro duoe. However, we got through all right, and I am hoping that Saunders returned safely. I have a card from him dated Baggs, Wyoming, December 4th, m.ich leads me to believe that he had to s~nd the night the re. I came east from Denver: stopped off in Omaha for ~day, and attempted to fly here from Chicago, but only got as far as Cleveland where the air journey was stopped by bad weather. Give my regards pl ease to Mrs. Pryde, and my thanks to her : for her· e nterta inment. With kindest regards, I am, General 'Manager. �lir . li.u/_;c.,no I.:cJ\uliffo: t1r .
