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.
