The second group of four arranged for through Pierce Manage­ ment, Inc, arrived at Rock Springs on date July 8, 1946, the names of the young engineers being as follows: Tzu Rai Chuan and Yang Ming-Shu. Chao Shou-yen, Uei Liang, The young men stated that they were all residents of north China (definitely not Cantonese) and that their activities on return to China would be management of mines in Manchuriao The four men were assigned to Resident Engineers Gasper at Reliance and Lebar at Stansbury and they spent the period of July 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th underground at the above-mentioned properties. They also visited the Power Plant at Rock Springs and the Engineering Department at the Rock Springs Beadquarters Building, Our impression of the group from the numerous questions pro­ pounded is that they are much more interested in cost figures, which we do not divulge, than they arc in actual technique of mechanical mining. It would appear that their duties in their homeland are more that of cost accounting than planning and supervision of work. The group loft for Castlegate, Utah on Saturday, July 13th.

They will leave today for Castle Gate, Utah, to inspect coal mines in that vicinity. The four men are part of a group of 12 Chinese engineers who are towing coal mining properties throughout the United States to learn the various phases of me­ chanical mining for adoption in their own country. The engineers represent coal companies and Chinese government mines which are producing bitu­ minous metallurgical coal in north China. They report a deposit of coal there having a 450-foot seam, and assert that the coal is being mined entirely by hand, with op­ erations being carried on both by subten-anean and open-pit mining processes. �Juno 22;.3 1946 The Co S«.-Card Irpn'i.’orks Co P. 0.

No Bayless; Referring to your recent letter concerning the visit of a number of Chinese arranged through Pierce Management of Scranton, Pennsylvania, the following men arrived in Rock Springs on June 19: Yu Chi Tien, An Ju-Tseng, Chun-Lin Wang and Liu, En-Ming. All of the above men are graduate mining engineers, varying in age from 32 to 37 years and have been sent to the United States by their government for one year's training under Pierce Management. They arrived in the United States during the month of September, 1945, and expect to return to China during September, 1946. All speak English quite fluently and indicate their choice of American food and drink as the hot-dog and Coca-Cola. Evidently they have not become acclimated to the extent of the American choice of Scotch and Soda and T-bone steak. Their time, to date, has been spent in visiting the bituminous and anthracite mines in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. They v/ere quite enthusiastic in their praise of our mines, especially the matter of pillar extraction with duckbills and Joy loading machines, and very much impressed by the systematic timbering program which they state is the only example they have observed so far. Their activities during the week were entirely at Reliance and Stansbury districts, together with a visit to the Rock Springs Power Plant and the General Office. �- 2 - They have been furnished a copy of our Book of Safety Rules, Book of Standards and the History of The Union Pacific Coal Company.

Scranton 3, Pennsylvania April 2, 1946 Mr. Eugene McAuliffe Chairman, Board of Trustees The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha 2, Nebraska Dear Mr. McAuliffe; As you will remember, Mr. Pierce in anticipation of his being in China about this time, wrote you the latter part of 1945 asking if you would be kind enough to take for a period of two weeks two Chinese engineers in whose training we have been cooperat­ ing with the Chinese Government. Since that time some changes in plans have occurred and we are wondering if you would cooperate in the following plans. We are trying to arrange a trip for eleven of these engineers through the mines in Colorado, Utah, Illinois and Wyoming and a visit to the plant of the Goodman Manufacturing Company in Chicago. This trip is being arranged because these boys have expressed an interest to see the type of mining in these various states before their return to China. You originally agreed to take two of these men for a period of two weeks, but under the present schedule for this trip we plan on sending out three groups - two of four and one of three - and we would not anticipate that any one of these groups would.be at your mines more than three or four days instead of the two-week period originally contemplated. The present schedule calls for the first group to arrive at your mines on May 13th, the second group on July 15th and the third group on August 19th. Naturally this trip is being planned in advance but subject to the present bituminous wage negotiation, which of course, might necessitate a change in this trip. We, of course, will keep in touch with this situation, and unless the labor dispute has been satisfactorily settled we will not send them on to you. We will later try to give you the definite time of arrival with the thought in mind that you can arrange accommodations for these men as suggested by Mr. Pierce in his letter. While this represents quite a change from Mr. Pierce's original'plan, we trust you will be able to go along on'the change and would appreciate your advice to this effect. /s/ F. L.

As part of the work essential to our introducing American equipment into these mines, I have undertaken the training of a large group of Chinese mining officials who have been in various mines of the United States for the past three months. I am trying to give them a very comprehensive picture of different types of mining methods and equipment, and inasmuch as I must go to China shortly, I am now planning schedules for cer­ tain of these men between the months of May and September, 1946. I would appreciate very much if you would extend me the • courtesy of permitting two of these engineers to spend two weeks on your property sometime between May and September next year, we to give you ample notice of the arrival of these men. With kindest regards. Sincerely yours, /s/ James H. Pierce �NO. 3 �080-3 February 4, 1946 Mr. Manning Chen e/o Mr4 0. F. Sargonfre 1 Box 34^ Memphis^Tenneasee (co: Mr. H. C.

No Bayless President and Manager The Union Pacific Goal Company Omaha, Nebraska Dear Sir: It has been so nice of you to extend your invitation to my friend Mr. Linson Hsu to visit one of your mines when he was receiving his training in Wyoming Division. Thank you so much. Later on, I learned out that he, Mr. Hsu, had not been able to go and visit the mine. Sure he felt very sorry about it and he ever tried to make it even when he was already back to Omaha. I am sorry too that so far he has not been able to avail himself of this grand invitation. Our time of training was set for one year. It is almost up till now. It has been scheduled to leave for China around the middle of February, at the port of San Francisco, California. I came down to Little Rock, Arkansas, on January 21, and moved to here Memphis, Tennessee yesterday. Here the Arkansas arid Tennessee states are jointly building a bridge over the Mis­ sissippi river. It was just started. That's my mission to come to have some training on the job. By the time I left Omaha, my friend Mr. Hsu was awaiting an arrangement to New York City. So, I imagine, he would not be able to see you and your mine. Recalling the enjoyable visit last June, to your mine at Rock Springs, I certainly have treasured it so much and recog­ nized as one of the finest trips my Lord Christ has made for me in the past one year here. Well, if I can't see you and friends at your place be­ fore leaving this land for China, I will still remember you and all friends in prayer.

This young man, a Chinese, is one of 69 honor students,who is a graduate bridge engineer and who, with six of his associates, has been assigned to the Union Pacific Railroad to study various angles of railroad construction and operation. Mr. Chen is under the direct supervision of Chief Engineer B. H. Prater, and as soon as his program is completed, will get out on the road for study purposes. He tells me that he worked in a Chinese shaft mine and is very curious to see one of our mines and our method of mining with machinery. This boy, with his associates, including a young woman, is the product of American Christian Missionaries, Mr. Chen having served for some time as a missionary among his people. Therefore I know you will be deeply interested in him and will see that he is taken care of in your absence. It may be some time before he gets to Rock Springs, his first assignment that of a bridge job at Cozad. You will be interested in knowing that "Chen" is a family name and the first name, "Manning", was chosen by himself.

T’ang, expects to visit Wyoming sometime during September or October and is particularly anxious to see thick seam coal working. I take it that the most logical place for him would be at your Hanna No. .4 Mine .. I would appreciate if you would give permission to Mr. T’ang to visit your property and if you will advise me what official of your company he shall contact in order to make the necessary arrangements. I have not seen you for a long time, but I have kept track of your Institute activities and I trust you are staying in good health. Yours very truly, /s/ James H.
