Utah REPLY TD GENEVA COAL MINE P. O. December 12, 1949 BOX BD7, DRABERTON, UTAH Telephone Horse Canyon BR2 Mr。 H. C. Livingston Vice Pres., Operations Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Vfyoming Dear Bunny, First I wish to thank you for the courtesies exbended on our recent visit to Rock Springs. Vem went overboard to show us the things we wanted to see and I am sure the new 7O-U.R.C. cutter is what we need in some places for the high coal at Geneva Minep We would appreciate some information relative to the rate pre­ sently being paid by the Union Pacific Coal Company for loader head­ man when this man*s duties reouire that he go to the face and help the face crew in the preparation of coal, cleaning up along the shaker pan line, etc. Vfe are paying the rate provided for in our 1941 basic contract and carried forward in the 1948 contract of $15.26 per day. Our contract also provides two other rates, viz, nShoveling onto conveyor at face @ $15.56 and Faceman © $15.75"。 It is contended by the Union representatives that where men are required to leave the loader head to do other work in the face one of the higher rates should be paido It has been ny contention that at the time ths loader head rate was established, sama was done to eliminate payment on split rates and it was understood at the tin® that the loader headman would con­ tinue the practice of lending all assistance possible in cleaning up, timbering and preparing coal in the face. Now it is contended that this practice is not generally fol­ lowed in doming. Here in Utah, of course5 I know that it is noto I have told Mr。Frank Fox that I would in the future be guided by the practice your company has established for payment of loader headman^ You understand that there is nc controversy where the men on the loader heads are not required to help in the preparation of coal. In other words, belt conveyors used for transportation pur­ poses only do not enter the discussion^ �I would very much appreciate learning of your present prac­ tice relative to the foregoing<> I hava no hesitancy in following practices established in Iteming where the contractual relationship of operator and U.虬 of A. has long been established。With Utah it is different0 Practically no two companies follow the same procedure, each establishing practices to them seem most expedient vriLthout regard to contracts I am told that one operation here in Utah pays the highest rate for every person amployed around or in a mobile leader section^ Such practices not only make it tough for other opera­ tors who do not follow such practices, but it is also tough upon Union Officials as well, as they are high pressured by their mem­ bership for similar payments elsewhere4 Hence a lot of controversy© I have suggested to Vern that you investigate the Joy 10 S.C0 shuttle car before buying more Jeffrey cars. We were impressed with the two outside hoists at Stansbury• We contemplate the purchase soon of a hoist for Cclumbia and the Vulcan-Denver hoist appealed to us veiy 皿ch。 Thanlcs again for courtesies extended on our recent visit。 F.
