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.

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 3 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 &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, .( / s,}. -.r "J../-if �., Form 1204 CI.Ass OP SEtlvtCI? - ' ·~WESTERN : UNION This-· is a full-rate Telegram 'or Cablegrll,m unless its character-is indicated by a symbol in the check or in the address. ...

Ju / Rook Springs, Wyoming. My dear 1Jr. MORGANTOWN , ~ 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. DHP/g EXE(cfil'l:'fflf7 TARY �HERBERT H .TAYLOR , PRESIDENT B. L . SHEPARD , SECRETARY 8, TREASURER EDWIN R .
