Livingston, Esq., Vice-President, Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Wyo. Dear Mr. Livingston: I was so impressed by some of the things I saw in the operations of your collieries ·when I was at Rock Springs last Autumn that I should like our General Superintendent and one of our Colliery Managers to see them also. If you will be so good as to give those men permission to see the operations I will send them out to Rock Springs where they will arrive on May 23rd. I should particularly like them to see your operations which require close timbering where the roof is quite tender. We have just completed preliminary trials on a longwall 'continuous miner', which we have designed and built under an arrangement with the Joy Manufacturing Conpany. This machine will go underground very shortly. \'le hope to produce 500 tons per shift with the machine and to work it double-shifted. If this unit is as satisfactory- as the trials have indicated, it will revolutionize longwall work. Perhaps you would care to come to have a look at it, or $end someone to see it, late in the Summer when our crews will have been properly trained in its operations. Will you be good enough to let me know if Mr. W. S. McDonald, our General Superintendent, and Mr. T. M. Hay, I-tanager of our No. 25 Colliery, may visit your operations. With kind regards, Very M. H.

Dear Mr. Murray: I regret that I have not been able to acknowledge your letter of November 18th sooner because I happened to be away from Sydney. I appreciate very much the trouble you and your staff have taken to supply the information I requested. I have passed this information along to our Chief Electricial Engineer, who is making a study of this problem. In discussing this matter with Mr. E. L. Martheleur, our Chief Electrical Engineer, he informs me that he will be communicating directly with your Chief Electrician who will be able to give him such additional information as he may require. Thanking you again for your help in this matter, and please convey to Mrs. Murray and those of my other friends in the Union Pacific Coal Company the Compliments of the Season and my very best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

You will note that dia8ram sho,·,s motors with an independent resistor, primary conductors, also showin~ arrangements for D.

We have not encountered any difficulty with one motor taking more than its required load. Our largest hoists· are 550 H.P. motors or a total of 1100 H.P. per hoist. The two hoists having 1100 H.P. are Norberge hoists, also other larger hoists are Vulcan ,·;ith 500 H.P. each. Attached herewith letter from Mr. Toucher concerning these hoists.

The motors in all cases have similar characteristics of speed torque, horsepower, secondary and primary ratings. Each motor has in its secondary circuit and independent secondary panel and resistor, but contr~lled simultaneously through the mas ter switch controller. Both motor primaries are energized through a common primar y panel which precludes the danger of mis-synchronzation. Attached is a sketch showing the general scheme of conditions . . Isl U. F.

Dear Mr. Murray: I was glad that you had some opportunity to meet our General Manager, Mr. Gordon, and I am sure that had there been more time at your disposal you would have enjoyed discussing matters of mutual interest with him. I may say that we were both very disappointed that we were unable to see you before we left Rock Springs. However, I sincerely hope that an opportunity will arise wherein you may be able to spend some time in our field, and I am sure that if the time does come when you can visit us you will find many things in our distric't of interest to a mining man. We enjoyed our visit to Rock Springs very much, and some of the things we saw gave us a great deal of food for thought, as a result of which we may be able to improve our own operations to some extent. I sincerely appreciate your kindness to us, and also your kind invitation for our return to Rock Springs. Should the opportunity arise, I am sure that we will be · only too glad to avail ourselves of your very kind offer. Please remember me to your associates, and also to Mrs. Murray.

Murray, General Manager, Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Wyoming. Dear Mr. Murray: DurinG two visits to the collieries of the Union Pacific Coal Company at Rock Springs, you were kind enough to have your staff show us hoists of 800 and 1000 horsepower capacity, driven by AC motors arranged in parallel. I have discussed this arrangement with our Chief Electrical Engineer, tlr. E. L. Martheleur, and while he is intrigued with the idea he is still reluctant to adopt this principle in our collieries, where we have . single motors operating hoists up to 1800 horsepower, because of the difficulty of dividing the load equally between the two motors. Would you kindly let us know if the two motors which you use in parallel on your hoist'- are connected to a single resistance so as to have exactly the same amount of resistance in the rotor circuit? There is also the question of connecting the two motors together mechanically, so as to have the two rotor circuits in synchronization. While this is not very difficult to accomplish, nevertheless the two relative positions of the motors must be always the same. I remember discussing this arrangement of motors with you, during my last visit in company with Mr. Gordon, and at that time you had assured us that it was a very successful operation. I am wondering, however, if your electrical staff is satisfied that the load is evenly divided between �- 2 - the two motors. I, of course, assume that you have made the necessary tests to ascertain this facb. I realize that you are very busy and probably will not be in~ position to give us in detail the answers to the problem which is bothering us at this time. Therefore, perhaps you would be kind enough to have your electrical engineer give us as much information on this subject as p ossible, and we on our $ide will be very glad at any time to reciprocate with information on our installations which may be of interest to you.

Mr. Peternell was an excellent guide· and was able to tell us all we wanted to know. We deeply appreciate the manner in which he took us about the mines. At this time I should like you to know that the crews I saw working in your mines worked better than any crews I have seen on routine operations. I should like to compliment you too on the general housekeeping of both the mines themselves and the surface installations. I trust that you or some of ;your officials will pay us a visit and have a look at some of our works and I can assure that we will be only too pleased to let you see any operations we have.

At the outset, I would like to extend rny congratulations to your company on its progressiveness, and the :manner in which it handles labourmanagement problems. ~Jhen all is said and done, the title people carry are n~t so i nportant if they a ccomplish the objective and enjoy reasonably good basic rel ations. Hav.i ne seen publicity regarding your Suggestion System, it is suspected that it must have been very suc c essful when in operation. Though you mention in ~,our letter that the Suggestion System was temporc,rily set aside during the war, I am wondering whet hlJ r you would be kind enout;h to give us any inf ormation you mya have reearding its operation in the past. Among the questions suggest ed are the following:-- 1. Is it practicable for employees in a coal mine to make suggestions concerning their work? 2. How many sul:'. gestions were you able to get per 1,000 employees per year?
