The Federal government's index_bounced up another .5 of 1 percent in June to its tenth record high in as many months. The increase, reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, now stands at 1,20.2 percent of the 1947-49 average, which is ·used as the base period. Food prices jumped 1.4 percent from May to June. All other prices measured by the BLS also rose. This June the index stood 3.4 ·percent higher than in June, 1956, and 4.8 percent higher than in March, 1956-the t akeoff point for an almost continuous increase ever since. BLS predicted that the July index will show another increase because of boosts in the prices of fresh fruits and vegetables. In the Senate, Sen. Albert Gore (D., Tenn.) charged t hat a dministration money policies were responsible for the continued rise. He said the principal cause is administration act ion in "pushing interest rates higher and higher, and faster and faster." Other notes ·of interest on the U.S. economy: Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks predicted that 1957 will wind up as "the best year ever in the history of our economy" although "spotty" conditions persist in several industries. He said th& total output of goods and services ("gross national product") reached the record annual rate of $431 billion in the first half of the year, up 6 percent from first-half 1956. ' Weeks said gove~ent spending . is a factor in increasing living costs and must be controlled. He also said prices and wag~s are chasing each other, and that is not healthy. 67 .2 MIiiion Have Jobs On the employment front summer jobs for young persons and on farms boosted total civilian employment to 67.2 million in July. This is an increase of 700,000 workers over the June total . . Some moderate job reductions were reported among adult workers in the educational services and manufacturing, which the government says is normal for July. Unemployment for the month was three million, a drop of 300,000 in the total jobless figure. • Employment of non-farm workers, including domestics, the self-employed and unpaid family workers, was up one-half million for a total of 59.4 million. Plant vacation shutdowns accounted for a drop of 300,000 in non-farm employes to a total of 52.6 million. Factory jobs dropped 180,000 to 16.7 million, more than the usual seasonal slump. One of the largest cuts was in the automobile industry. The factory work week--39.9 hours in July-was one-tenth of an hour below the' June level and two-tenths below a year ·ago. Average weekly earnings of factory production workers increased ~ cents to a total of $82.99. State insured joblessness, which does not include student job seekers, reached nearly· 1.4 million, a jump of 90,000 during the month. • The Commerce Department, meanwhile, reported an increase in June cash dividends paid out to stockholders of corporations. The increase totaled $1,679,000,000-up 3.5 percent from June, 1956. Senator Estes Kefauver (D., Tenn.) is heading a subcommittee looking into the problem of "administered price" boosts by huge monopolistic corporations. The corporations are attempting to counter the probe by blaming organized labor for price boosts. An example of what the Senator feels is an administered price boost is the recent increase of $6 a ton in steel prices, despite lowered market demands for steel that should, normally, induce lower prices. • The staff of the subcommittee reported that in 1954, 200 top manufacturing corporations accounted for 37 percent of the total dollar value added by manufacturing. This represented a seven point jwnp over 1947 figures. Several hearings on monopoly price increases are scheduled for August with business, farm and labor organizations expected to present their views. A new study by labor economists shows that wages have Social Security Disability 'Freeze' Deadline Extended To July 1, 1958 Disabled workers 50 or more years old who want to receive Social_ S~curity benefits now have until J uly 1, 1958, t? file apphcabon for the disability "freeze" to protect their nghts t<;> old-age,_ survivors, or disability insurance, according t o the Social Secw·1ty Administration. Previously t he law set a deadline of June 30 this year. The freeze is for the purpose of having the worker's r ecord f~ozen t? ~rot:ct his future right to disability paymen ts and :ilso his fanuly s rights to old-age and survivors insurance benefits. !he "~reez~~ p_r:vents those years during which a severe and mdefimte d1sab1hty keeps a person out of work from counting against him on eligibility for benefits or on the amount of his 0 benefits. Until the recent change in the law, a period of d 'sabili ty could not be determined to have begun earlier tha n 12 months before application for the "freeze" unless the applica tion has been made ~efore June 30, 1_957. For this reason, a disabled person who failed to make claun before -the end of Jun e and who had become disabled before January 1, 1955, would have lost his right to have his Social Security record frozen because he could not possibly meet the work requirements·. And without the "freeze" he might have lost future rights because at the time he died or became 65 he might not have had the required work credit. The law as now amended gives those who were disabled pr ior to January 1, 1955, until June 30 1958 to file applica tion for the disability "freeze." . ' .' Another amendment .provides that disabled veterans' S ocial Secu_i:ity benefits will not be reduced because of compensation received from the Veterans Administration for service-connected disability. • • Rep.

Bureau of Mines announced. / Edgewater mine, near Birmingham, won the "Sentinels of Safety" trophy for bituminous mines by operating 766,644 manhours last year without a disabling injury. This is the first time in 12 years of participation that the mine has taken top honors. It was the scene of a major disaster' in 1948 when a gas explosion, which occurred during the sinking of a new. opening, cla imed the lives of 11 mine workers. Goodsprjng mine, located in Schuy~kill County, Pa., won the ant hraci te-division trophy for operating 106,162 man-hours with 14 d:c;abling injuries, ca using a total of 98 days of lost time. An injury-severity r a te of 0.923 day lost per thousand m~m-hours of e.Kposure to haza rd- the lowest of its group--earned the colliery i ts fi rst trophy awar d in the seven years it has taken part in the compe ti t ion . T)1e mine received honorable mention for second place in 1951, and for third place in 1950 and 1955. Trophies · are awarded on the basis of the lowest injury severity rate in each group.

S. Bureau of Mines. The mine 'is unger the jurisdiction of Local Union 7Jt/9, District 6. Tn its final- report -on the cave-in, the Bureau said the "amount of coal taken from the pillars as the places were advanced was in excess of the company's projected plan of mining.'' It was brought out in the investigation that the plan of mining had not been followed, and "total extractiou was in excess of that shown on the (mine) map." • The only area of the mine. accessib_le for investigation was betwj:!en the face of No. 8 working place and a point . 45 feet distant where the fall broke off. It was here that the five men took refuge, some 300 feet from the portal cut into the hig~wall of a former· strip mine. This area was rcof-bolted and timbered in accordance with the accepted plan, the Federa l repor:t said, adding that there was no evidence that the cave-in was t~e result of failure of the roof-support plan. Approximately 225 feet of the No. 8 place was caved, and two adjoining entries we e also clogged to within a few feet of the portals. An examination of the surface over the No. 8 place disclosed surface cracks r:unning parallel with it. The cracks indicated that- a squeeze and general collapse resulted because th_e pillars le'ft intact were not adequate to support the overburden. To prevent a similar accident in the future, the Bureau report said. the "face of th~ highwall and the surface area over the acti,·e panel should be examined daily, when coal is produced, fpr signs of dangerous subsidence and other dangerous conditions." The - report also called for mining in strict compliance with engineer ing projections. The investigating team entered the mine by way of the same 42-inch auger hole throµgh which the trapped mine workers had crawled to safety. The five men-unhurt-\\·ere freed on the third attempt by rescue workers to drill into the area where they were trapped. The happy outcome of the near disaster won a special tribute from Fetleral investigators for "employes and officials who g:n-e of. themselves· unstintedly in ·making the rescue of their fellow workers possible. The courage, know-how and the resourcefulness of these men, without exception, . deserves the highest praise.'' Bituminous parficipants achieved a record-low injury frequency r ate of 14.353 per million man-hours of exposure in underground mmmg. This is less thari one-third the national average last year for all bituminous operations, including deep mines and strippings.

"Dr. Jekyll and the A.M.A." C '] V g 3 It is entitled, The dark clouds of progress hung heavily over the 106th convention of the American Medical Association as its delegates i;huttled from the Waldorf-Astoria to the New York Coliseum, confronting the dangers of radiation on the one hand and socialization on the other. The only real answer for life in our time seemed to be the one provided by the Wallace Labo'ratories, makers of l\'Iiltown, who dispensed the' lotus in generous samples from a small but always busy booth at the convention's technical exposition. The conclave, held early this month, was the largest in A.M.A.'s ·history, ·drawing 55,847 doctors and guests, employing hundreds of workers and requiring, for the operation of the Coliseum alone, five miles of electrical cable, 10,000 square yards ·of carpeting, 56,000 square yards of draperies, 300,000 I.B.M. cards- which with other un-itemized equipment, were brought by 40 baggage cars and hundreds of trucks to their destination and finally resulted at the end of the convention week in the bacchanalian total of 40 truckloads of debris, carted away at $30 a load. The magnitude of it is staggering even to the contemporary soul, and was no doubt unforeseeable by the organization's founder, one Nathan Smith Davis, a long-dead freedom fighter, who, according to the official history of the A.M.A., was "born in a log cabin on the farm near Greene, Chenango County, New York, which bad been homesteaded and partially cleared of its original forest by his father, Dow Davis, an orphan, who had, when in hisearly 'teens', run away from the cobbler to whom he had been indentured." ' ... Fighting Off Indenture A_g ain' The rub, of course, comes in the realization that for all the trappings here are Dow Davis' descendants a century later and fighting off indenture again. Their British brothers are already in chains, and here in, the new world the manacles are being n snapped not only by the Federal government, but by union and "private" health plans-such as John L. Lewis' United llfi11e Work\: ers Welfare and Retirement plan-which have swept upon the n scene to introduce "third party" elements between patient and doctor. This threatens us all, the medicos feel, with the loss of a our basic American freedoms, and it was this black issue which occupied the center of the stage for the A.M.A .. House of Delegates as it wrestled with the future. C The rumors of impending doom had begun as far back as 1933, when the A.M.A. deiegates approved a report condemning the thens existing voluntary health-insurance plans with the judgment that n "it is clear that all such schemes are contrary to sound public policy and that the shortest road to the commercialization of the ii practice of medicine is through the supposedly rosy path of insur'I ance." But the tides were moving, and by the late '40's the govern1: ment was talking of national compulsory health insurance (branded hy the A.l\i.A. as "political medicine") and the A.M.A., with the t, help of the Whitaker & Baxter advertising agency, was raising h its voice with the slogan: "Voluntary Health Insurance-the iI American Way." "The American Way," however, was delimited to bbroad and pure insurance plans such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and definitely did not include the sudden new evils of pribc • Yate-group plans with their own panels of doctors, such as New lo York's Health Insurance Plan (H.I.P.) and California's Kaiser Jo r'oundation plan. In 1954, the New York State Medical Society roared into the A.M.A. House of Delegates with a set of proposed amendments to the medical code which would have made m it "unethical" for a doctor to work with H.I.P., which by then had cl, 100,000 members. The house wouldn't go that far, though, and the . pc hattle was pitched independently by county medical societies, with os tracism of group-practice doctors such as took place on a long fc front in California, where the Los Angeles County Medical Sotc ciety Jed the finally futile charge against the Kaiser doctors. • But this ear he A.M.A. had to come to grips with the biggest s f, Against this monster the delegates brought five different resolutions, a supplementary report by the board of t rustees on "Suggested Guides to Relationships Between Sta te and County Medical Societies and the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund," and considerable passionate oratory. All the proposed resolutions and suggestions were unloa ded on the Co~ittee on Miscellaneous Business, and on t he second day of the convention all who were interested joined the committee in session for hearings in the West Foyer of the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf. There, where the imitation dogwood bravely climbs thr~ugh the inevitable smoke of deliberation , a standing-room audience heard the bleak details of the conspiracy and uttered hopeless war-cries-later judged impractical by legal advisors. The session got under way with less urgent tho ugh similarly threatening issues, such as continuing the annual A.M.A.-sponso~ed high s~hool essay contest on the topics, ,"The Advantages of Private Medical Care" or "The Advantages of the American Free Enterprise System." It seems that several members h ad sensed a certain futility in "essay contests," but a doctor from t he Colorado del_egation was up to tell the tale of a Denver high school class assignment on "The Advantages of Socialized Medicin e" which was opposed by a doctor's daughter who had designs on t he A.M.A. essay prize, but who could not very well fit t he tea cher's assigned topic into the competition. All saw the moral, and the resolution to maintain the contest was approved. Discussion of the main resolution against the UMW Fund and like menaces got off to a flery start with the wor ds of one of the resolution's co-authors, Dr. Everett H . Munro of the Colorado State Medical Society. Dr. Munro's resolution proposed that "voluntary participation in systems of medical care which deny patients their rights of free choice of physicians as so defined, other than as may be required by the mandates of law constitutes a violation of the Principles of Medical Ethics." u The president of the Colorado State Medical Society backed his colleague's view with the opinion that the A.M.A. had only three courses open to it, and the one embodied in this resolution was the best. A second course was to take no action at all, which would lead to the British sort of socialized medicine. The last course, which might have to be followed if the resolution failed, was the formation of a "medical guild" which would "bargain collectively with labor and management"-although this would mean the loss of dignity of the medical profession. 'Poor' Doctors Fear Loss Of Income Conditions were as drastic all across the land. A doctor from Michigan warned that Walter Reuther was about to inflict a medical-welfare plan comparable to the Mine Workers' on the toilers of Detroit. An embattled freedom fighter from Illinois reported that some doctors in his state were '1osing $5,000-$15,000 a year in private practice because of the Miners' plan." Only in Mississippi was the flame of liberty still unthreatened.' "We don't have this· problem, but we can't tell when we might," their delegate reported, and added bis sympathetic support to his colleagues' cause. Dr. Harry Mantz, an Illinois delegate back from the front, warned the troops that "the men from Colorado [sponsors of the resolution] are very courageous because they are. going to be sued. In Illinois, we can't throw out a doctor from the , state medical society without danger of a Federal suit:>'' But dangers aside, there were altogether 25 men to speak up in favor of the drastic measures embodied in the resolutions, and the only dissent had to come from the Devil's Disciple himself, Dr. Warren Draper, who directs the UMW Welfare and Retirement Fund He, was offered the microphone and quietly read to the delegates: "The task of providing medical care for the miners and their families was assumed by the Fund in 1948 because the unnecessary suffering, disability and preventable deaths due to inadequate medical care, or none at all, were shocking to all who knew the facts. The r~port .of_ a, _medical survey _of the 1 i �United lVline workers J oUt'ft(lt • in 1946, contains the statement that in some of the minin_g . communities, provisions for hea1th are 'so poor that their tolerance is a disgrace to a nation to which the world looks ~ r patte rn a nd guidance' . . . Any thoughtful person in full possession of the fac ts would know that ':vith the i~ve~tment t h e Fund has made in medical care for its benefic1ar1es the program ca nnot s top; it must go on. Petty perse~utions, such as those by certa in county m edical societies which endeavor t o prevent the Fund from providing medical care for ~ts beneficia ries by denying membership in the county medical socie ty to phys ici ans who do so, will be settled by legal means if other m easures fail. - Other petty forms of persecution have already failed." Out of t he resulting silence, Cha irman Dr. Peter DiNatalie called up one of A.M.A.'s lawyers, who could only tell his clients that the whole t hing was "not a n easy m atter to discuss." In t he end, it was discussed a t 7 :15 on the morning of the last day by A.M.A. s ta ff legal advisors, who told the mHitants of the Colorado delegation tha t t he resolu tions might be•fine in principle, but J9hn L . L ewis would ha ve them in t he courts, , there was no getting around it. They would have to be satisfied with the committee's report- a t las t a dopted- wh ich expla ined · that although the resolutions were approved "in pr inciple.,'' the organiza tion could officially do no more t han "re-emphasize the America n Medical Associa tion's a pproval of t he principle of free choice of physician and h ospital," and adopt th e Board of Trustees' "suggested guides" to rela tio nships with t he UMW. UMW l?atients Have Freedom Of Choice rug Soft Coal Miners Earn $3.03 An tfour Production workers in the bituminous coal industry averaged $112.11 for a 37-hour week-c-<>r $3.03 an hourduring April, according to statistics prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. Th is •is the highest hourly earnings figure in . the history of the industry. Weekly earnings reached· their highest point in history last December when soft coal miners a veraged $115.33 a week for a 38.7 hour week--or $2.98 an hour. There were an estimated · 218,500 production ·employes working in the soft coal industry in April. Total employm ent in the industry was estimated at 238,700. In the anthracite industry employment of production workers was 26,500, with. total employment 28,400. Average weekly earnings in the anthracite industry in April, were $92.07 for a 31-hour week--or $2.97 an hour. orfon Urges Soft Coal For Wisco nsin Use of soft coal to meet urgent fuel needs in ¥lisconsin has been advocated by Sen. Thruston B. Morton (R., Ky.). Morton made the suggestion in response to a speech by Sen. Alexander Wiley· (R., Wis.). Wiley urged that the Harris Natural Gas Bill be defeated in the interest of gas consumers in his state. Shortly thereafter, Senator Morton took the floor to state: " .. . I was intrigued by the remarks of the senior Senator from Wisconsin in connection with fuel. I invite the Senator's a t tention to the fact that the price of Appalachian coal at the face of the mine is the same today as it was in 1948. It is the only fuel which has not advanced in price. "Wages have risen considerably in the nine-year interim. Because of the ingenuity of the operators and the cooperation of the United Mine Workers, coal at the face of the mine, as I have said, sells today for the same price it brought in 1948. It is still the cheapest, most efficient fuel under a boiler. "We . are now working on plans to move Appalachian coal to the fire boilers of Florida, and I think we can move Appalachian coal to the great State of Wisconsin." Al l week long, the evils of "corpora te practice" of m edicine by government, unio ns, indus t ries an d• private groups were condemned, a nd the "free choice of physician" upheld as being no less essential t o America n life tha n free enterprise itself. In a ctua li ty, m os t of t he pl ans, including the UMW Fund, provide t ha t a patien t ca n choose from a number of doctors approved by the particular organiza tion, a nd the UMW Fund itself allows t ha t a benefi ciary m ay call in any outside doctor desired and have him a pproved for work through the Fund.

Their knowledge of union organization work gave new ~jt to the drives to brlng unionism to the American mines. The first joint conference between mine workers' representatives a nd coal operators in the history of the American coal industry was held in Scranton, Pa., in the hard coal fields in 1869. A written contract based on the decisions of this confercnce was signed at Pottsville, Pa., in 1870. Among other things it provided for wages of $16 a week for the anthracite miners. At the sa me time, the coal miners were beginning their long a nd still con tinuing fi ght for safety in the mines. First efforts in this d irection were made in 1858, but it was not until 1?69 th at the Pennsylvani a Legislature passed a safety law and !his law provided only for mine inspections in one county in the ta te. I t was nearly 100 years later, in 1952, that the United Mine \1Vorkers of merica were able to get a law passed by the Fedral Congress granting authority to Federal mine ,inspectors .to lose down hazard ous mines. This never-ending battle for safer coal mines has been one of the major activities of organizcd America n coal miners from the very earliest days and _continu s today. American coal miners learned early in the game that socalled cost-of-living agreements with the employers were of no benefit to the miners. As long ago as 1870 the anthracite miners igned su ch an agreement with the coal operators. It was known as a sliding-s.cale · agrcement and tied coal wages to c~al prices. O ver-production of coal-the chronic ,ill of the American coal industry- soon started price cutting among the emplayers. And as p,riccs were slashed wages went down. The struggles of co~! miners in both the bituminous and anthracite fi elds for union organization went on during the late 1800s, but without much success. Local, state and regional organizations soon,...were wiped out because of financial and organizational weaknesses. ' The 1880s saw stepped-up efforts by the mine workers to form national organizations. Two groups were principally active, the Knights of Labor and the National Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers, The latter organization was affiliated with the newly formed Americ~n Fcdcratiqn of Labor, then under the leadership of Samuel Gompers. Intense and sometimes bitter rivalry plagued the organization efforts of the two unions. It Wc!-5 during · this period in 1886, that the first interstate coal wage agreement in American history was signed by coal operators and union mine worl<ers in Columbus, Qhio. The agreement established basic wages in Pennsylvania, Ohio, InTHAT SO-CAI-L.EQ COST - OF - ,LIVING AGREE diana, Illinois, Iowa a11d West Virginia, the principal coalproducing states in the United States at that time. The mine workers soon learned that they could not succeed in their struggles for bette.r wages and working conditions with a split in their ranks between rival unions. After much negotiating, .representatives of the miners who belonged to the Knights of Labor and those belonging to the National Progressive Union met in Columbus, Ohio, and on January ~. 1890, formed the Unjted Mine Workers of America. The new Union represented 25,000 coa'l miners at that time. The infant Union decided to work for an eight-hour day in the mines. Efforts to win a shorter work day from · the coal operators were unsuccessful and the Union called a strike in 1891. It failed except in a few areas where the eight-hour day was won. It was on April 1, 1898, that the UMWA finally won the eight-hour day for a substantiai number of coal miners. April 1 is an_ annual holiday in the mines throughout America in commemoration of this early victory. The struggle for a shorter work day in the mines was not finally won throughout the Am_erican coal fields until 1933 under the leadership of Mr. Lewis. • There have been two truly great Presidents of the United Mine workers of America who will be revered by coal miners as long as coal is dug. bne is the present leader, J olzn Llewellyn Lewis. The other w~ Jolzn Mitchell. Mitchell was 28 when he became the fifth President of the UMW A. He led hard coal miners in Penn,sylv~a to a gre~t Union victory in 1900. October 29, 1900, was the day when a general strike in the anthracite fields ,ended in ,a · resounding victory for the miners. Ea<;h October ~9 since th<m, the hard coal miners observe an official holiday in honor of Mit~hell. Among the evils that plagued the anthracite miners when Mitchell became UMW A President were· company-owned stores at which the miners were required to trade and which charged exorbitant prices, company cheating on the weighing of coal, ex'tremely low wages, long hours, bad safety conditions, bad housing, child labor, and no provision for medical care for sick and injured miners. Mitchell's leadership enabled the mine workers to correct many of these grievances. By 1901 the 11-year-old UMWA had increased its membership to more than 200,000. ., An infamous example of the attitude toward trade unions taken by the coal operators of that time was the statement of George F. Bae,r, then president of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co:, one of the largest companies in the hard coal fields. Baer wrote what has since become known as the "divine right" letter. He stated: "The rights and interests of the laboring man will be WAc;;ES CUT AGAIN ANO WITH SPLIT UNIONS WE CAN NOT WIN BETTER WAGE'S AND WORKING CONDITIONS! �OESPITe THE VICTORIES WON SY MITCHELL.'S LEADERSHIP THE UM WA HAO MANY HARD TIMES IN THE EARLY ,qoo's.

A shocked American public acted through the Federal government' which moved regula r Army troops into the area to restore Circler. ~ Such incidents were an old story to coal miners and their fam ilie • bcatin!!S, shootings and deprivation of civil liberties had been th e order of the day in. the coal fiel~s of America for generations. Because mining camps usually were isolated, the n \ spaper and general public seldom heard ·of conditions in 1:he oal indu stry. There was complete company domination of every phase of the daily lives of miners, enforced by professional gunmen such as the Coal and Iron Police in Pennsylvania and the Bald win-F Its Detective Agency in West Virginia. And the c same gu n thugs saw to it that an "iron curtain" was drawn around the coal camps to keep the public from learning of the conditions of serfdom under which miners lived. ". . . Police Had 'l>ersuaders' " '" Even interested newspapermen-.md there were very few of them in those days-found it virtually impossible to "invade" the armed camps of the coal mining areas. Strangers were not welcome and the coal police had "pcrsuaders"-in the form of arsenals of wc;apons-to keep the curious away. As the years have passed, such matters have been somewhat dimmed by time, by later successes of the Union, by Federal legislation guaranteeing to American workers the right to organize and bargain collectively, by government investigations, by recognition of unions as part of the American way of life, and by the tremendous growth in membership and economic strength of the union movement. But to the average coal miner in his 5o"s the bitter memories of these early days will never be dimmed. Perhaps this is one reason ·why _the United Mine Workers of America has been from the beginning and is today t~e most militant and aggressive union in the country. It was in the early 1900s that John L; Lewis began his long career as an American labor leader. After substantial successes -~leading · the legislative activities of ,the Illinois coal miners, Lewis worked for a time for Mr. Gompers and the American Federation of Labor. He was. born in Lucas, Iowa, of Welsh parents, on February 12, 1880, on the birthday of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. Lewis' early career included work in the · coal mines, metal mines, and much traveling over the length and breadth of the United States and into Mexico and Canada. His first official assignment for the UMW A was as a delegate from an Iowa Local Union to the 1906 International Convention of the UMWA. . In 1910 and 1911 Lewis worked as legislative representative in District 12 (Illinois) and from 1911 to 1917 he was assigned to the AFL by Mr. Gompers. • By 1916, Lewis had proved his ability in Union affairs so that he was named chairman of the all-important resolutions committee of the UM,v A Convention in that year. In 1917 he was named International Statistician of the Union. He rose from there to become busine_ss manager of the Union's newspaper, the United Mine Workers J orernal, Vice President of the International Union Acting President and finilly President in 1920-a position t~ which he has been reelected ever since. Thomas Kennedy Starts To Climb Another young American coal miner was starting his climb in International Union affairs in the early 1900s. He is Thomas Kennedy, who went to work in the anthracite mines in Northeastern Pennsylvania ~t the age of ten and rose to become Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania, President of a UMW A District, International Secretary-Treasurer, and finally International Vice Pr sident of the UMWA-the position he holds with the Union today. · Kennedy was born in Lansford, Pa., November 2, 1887 • Still a third UMW A leader was beginning his career in the early 1900s, He is John Owens, present International Secretary-Treasurer. • Owens was born in Clydach Vale, South Wales, on October 29, 1890, and came to America with his parents a an infant. ·The family settled in Ohio and Owens went to work in the mines at the age of ten. His career with the Union has included posts as checkweighman in a local union, local secn·tary, president of an Ohio subdistrict, President of the Ohio District of the UMWA, Special Assistant to President Lewis, and now International Secretary-Treasurer. . The late Philip Murray, who directed the organization of America's steelworkers and later became president of the United Steelworkers of America and successor to John L. Lewis as president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, aLo started his career in the coal mines of America and served a · President of the Union's Pittsburgh District and for many ye:m as International Vice Pre_sident of the UMW A. There are scores of other former officials of the Ul\flVA serving the American labor movement in various capacities of leadership in other unions.

The end of the · war, however, brought depression to the industry and a concerted drive by the employers to break the union. These were hard, lean years for the U:tvfvVA and for John L. Lewis. Poverty, unemployment, low wages, long hours and violence stalked through the coal fields. Dissension in the Union's ranks, spurred on by communists " ·ho set up a dualunion organization, and the union-bustin g efforts of the coal operators brought a decline in membership from more than 600,000 in 1923 to approximately 200,000 by the late 1920s. The UMWA was one of the firs t organizations in the United .States to take · definite action against communist attempts to ~rupt the labor movement. As early as 1923 the Union's International Executive Board warned against the menace of communism and in 1927 the· International Convention amended its Constitution to prohibit members of the Communist' Party from belonging to the United Mine Workers of America. By the time of the great stock market crash in 1929, there were more than 200,000 unemployed coal miners. Operators engaged in cut-throat competition to the point where coal was being sold below production costs and w ages had been slashed to as little as $1.50 a day in -areas in the South.

After three months of meetings and a one-day strike as a show of Union strength the operators signed the Appalachian Wage Agreement-in effect, the fir t ational Wage ,O.greement-and a code of fair competi tion in the industry. . Wages were boosted in mines in both the orth and South. The 40-hour work week was es tablished . Grievance machinery was provided. Company stores were to be regulated. The practice of paying coal miners with scrip instead of money was abolished. And most important of all, the l\1W A was recognized by the oper~tors as the collective bargaining agency ' for the coal miners. This first Appala<:hian Wage Agreement was the basis for the present industry-wide contracts in the coal industry. The Union next conducted a sort of moppi ng-up campaign, with the first objective the recognition of the U nion in the so- A JOHN L. LEWIS MOVED QUICKLY TO REORGANIZE THE DEPRESSION-BATTERED UNION.

Some in the Union advocated nationalization of the industry as a solution but this was opposed by Mr. Lewis and his administration. This difference over policy was one of the principal reasons for the dissension in the ranks of the Union during the 1920s. • The election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as President of the United States in 1932 and the advent of the New Deal gave new life to the UMW A. Mr. Lewis moved quickly and aggressively to reorganize the depression-battered Union. UMWA representatives were dispatched throughout the coal fields to preach the gospel of unionism. Key to the tremendous success of the 90-day whirlwind drive that brought hundreds of thousands of coal miners back into the ranks in 1933 was a UMWAinspired clause in a law passed by Congress in the early days of President Roosevelt's administration. This clause was known as Section 7A of the National Industrial Recovery Act. The clause was the brainchild of the UMW A and John L. Lewis. Efforts to get it passed in coal-stabilization legislation sponsored by the UMWA in 1928 and 1930 had been unsuccessful. But the section was -lifted from these bills which had failed to pass Congress and inserted in the NIR...\. Section 7A said, in effect, that the Federal -government guaranteed to American working men and women the right to organize into unions and bargain col, i.. __ : _ -~ - called captive mines of the steel industry. These are mines owned by the steel industry, .the coal from which is used entirely in the production of steel. The UMWA won a partial victory at this time and · later brought all of the steel industry's coal miners into the Union. Significance of this victory in the· early New Deal days was .t he fact that it was the first time in American industrial history that the steel companies ever had signe~ a wage agreement with a uniori. • •With its own affairs once again in gooc;l order, the UMW A turned its attention to the pressing problem of building the union movement in America. The 1934 UMW A Convention voted unanimous approval of Mr. • Lewis' recommendations that UMW A delegates to the AFL conveption that year press for organization of the mass-production industries. The UMWA delegates were successful in getting a resolu-. tion passed at the AFL convention authorizing AFL leaders to grant industrial union charters to the nuclei of unions that were springing up in soxlie: of the mass-production industries.. But a ·year went by without much· progress and in 1935 Mr. ~ewis ~nd some other AFL union leaders decided to take defimte act.Ion. The program proposed by them to the 1935 A'!L conve~tion was defeated but Mr. Lewis quickly called a meeting of the mterested labor leaders.

Meanwhile, collective bargaining between management a11d labor was replaced by government directive, the practical effect of which was to freeze wages at 15 percent above the level that had existed in January 1941. The Mine Workers were among the first to rebel against what they regarq,cd as an arbitrary formula which they felt did not take into consideration their problems brought on by sharp increases in the cost of living. • Efforts to_ make adjustments in coal miners' wages in 1943 met with flat rejection by the coal operators who d ecided to depend on the government to see to it tha t no \\ age increases were granted. Protest strik~s- by the miners led eve ntually to government seizure of the soft coal industry, gove rn ment-sponsored negotiations and the winning of improved conditions by theUMWA. World War II; Miners Worked Hard For the next two years, from 1943 through 1945, the miners more than made up for the slight loss of production during the 1943 strike by_working nine hours a day and six and sometimes seven days a week to supply coal ,to the American military machine and to America's allies. The first formal proposal for the creation of a welfare fund for America's coal miners was made to the coal operators by the UMWA in 1945. It was an old dream of the Union dating back to 1925. Nothing came of the proposal that year and the Union settled for improved wages and work_ing conditions. But 1946 saw determined UMWA set out to win welfare benefits for the nation's nearly half a million mine workers and members of their families. To the proposal that the coal industry should make some provision to ~are for the sick, injured and aged of the nation's most basic industry th'e coal operators · turned deaf. ears. A strike to win the welfare demand led_ to seizure of. the industry by the ·Federal governrneni once again. Mr. Lewis finally was able to negotiate a contract with the government, calling for the payment of a 5-cent-a-ton royalty by the industry for the establishment of the United Mine Workers •of a 0 • America Welfare and Retirement Fund. America's coal miners will tell you that if John L .

Today the Miners' Welfare Fund is in s.,.tnd financial shape, well administered, and more than a million persons, the crippled, sick, injured and aged of the coal industry and miners' widows and orphans, have received benefits. The Fund now provides $1,000 death benefits, $100-a-month' pensions after a miner has reached the age of 60 a'n d has worked for 20 years in the indus ti·y, and medical care for the accident victims and the sick of •t~e in?u_stry, including miners' dependents. • In ~ddition, the W elfare Fund span or d th building of ten mo~·ern hospitals in coal areas where in adequ ate or no faci li ties for hospita) care prcvious)y existed. The winning of the industry-financed W elfa re Fund by the coal miners set a pattern that other large unions wer oon to follow. Today a majority of union members in th e nited States are protected by some form of welfare arrangement that provides protection for them over and above the meager al lowances provided by the Federal and state governments. The basic philosophy of the Mi ners' Welfar F und, as expressed by Mr. Lewis, is th at "the cost of caring for the human equity in the coal industry is inherentl y a vali d as the cost of replacement of mining m a chinery, or the cost of paying taxes, or the cost of pay ing interes t inqebtedness or any qther factor incident to the production of a ton of coal for the consumers' bins." 1947: Taft-Hartley Passed The year 194 7 •brougnt the passage by the 80 th Congress of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 194-7, the so-called Taft-Hartley Act, which Mr. Lewis called "t!t e first 11glJ1, sa vage thrust of fascism in Amedca." Bitterly opposed by organized labor, the law, however, has remained on the books a nd its repeal is a goal of all unions in the United States. Th e Miners' Union has b~en in the forefront of opposition to the sta tute a nd to this day Mr. Lewis has refused to compromise his position of demanding outright repeal of the law. Provisions of this law and of a similar law that preceded it led to the fining of the UMW A for contempt of court on two occasions for refusal of the members to obey injunctions to return to work. The men were striking in protest over unfavorable working conditions and felt that that was a basic right in America. The two fines of $710,000 and $1,4-20,000 were the largest ever assessed by the American courts.

Y : Coal Miner Outstanding In Utah Legislature Frank Memmott, freshman member of the Utah state legislature, is a young man-32-who led the fight for repeal of the "right-to-work" law in that state. . He is the son. of a coal miner and worked in the mines many years himself, mostly for the Independent Coal·and Coke Co. at its Castle Gate No. 2 mine. He was a member of UMWA Local Union 5916, District 22. As a graduate 9f tJ:ie University of Idaho he received his de'.gree in engineering and later went to the University of Geneva in Switzerland as a Rockefeller exchange student where he received a Master's -Degree in foreign affairs. He was told while he was in Switzerland that he was the. first -American coal miner ever to study at the University of Geneva. Memmott is now in business .for himself in the mining machinery field and is considered an expert on modern mechanized mining methods. • In his maiden speech to the ·Utah legislature he pointed out that although the coal industry in the Rocky Mount{lin area is depressed it has a great future and the state of Utah would do well to take steps to see that the coal mining :industry would never be lost to the state's economy. Later, he arranged for all the legislators to visit the Castle Gate No. 2 Mine, an ~xperieIJce most of them said they would never forget. His object was to display the advantages of unionism and to point up the ever present need for coal mine safety.

I Howe who is one of the most experienced legislative representatives on the Hill, said it was a foregone conclusion that if the anti-labor forces in Congress were given a chance they would come µp with some of the most vicious legislation possible. . He said that Congressmen who had _been told by afl-cio representatives that some so-called labor "reform" legislation was needed and all right .to support were left with the choice of voting for what was offered on the floor of the House or trying to explain to a public that didn't understand the issues w}'J.y they were voting against "labor reform" and thus breaking a campaign pledge. The vote in the House was a political victory for the National Association of Manufacturers, the Chamber of Commerce, Minority Leader Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.), Rep. Howard W. Smith (Dixiecrat, Va.), chai;rma~ . of the House Rules Committee, and the whole GOPDixiecrat. coalition. Their strategy worked bea1,.1tifully. The coalition was well disciplined.

It was August 10, 1905, to be exact. The stage for the mass meeting was set when Tho11Z;as D. Nicholls, first President of UMWA District 1, presiding at the District's 7th Annual Convention (July 17 to 22, 1905), announced to the assembled delegates that the rally was to be held in Wilkes-Bal.Te on the 10th of the following month. Disclosure of the rally itself and the date it was scheduled were not significant facts in themselves. For the forthcoming meeting was but one of a series of 36 that were to be held that year throughout the region. But when Mr. Nicholls told the convention that the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, h ad accepted an invitation of the District 1 executive board to be the •principal speaker for the affair, the press announcements that followed created widespread interest in the event-the magnitude of which never before nor since has been equalied in the anthracite region. The visit of the Chief Executive was to be his first in the ' region-about whose basic industry, its people and its problems he already k;new much. For it was through "Teddy" that the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission was created. The commission played the major role in the settlement of the famous 1902 strike. Roosevelt, elected the 26th President of the United 's tates in 1901 at the age of 42, was the youngest man ever to assume the highest post in the land. He was serving as President when John Jllitchell, a personal friend , was International President of the UMWA. l\llitchell was elected bead of the Union in 1898 at the age of 28. Cardinal Gibbons Another Visitor August 10, 1905, was of dual significance for Wilkes-Barre and the Wyoming Valley. It marked the date of the miners' rally and the 35th annual convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, ~ hose sessions were addressed by no less a church dignitary of the times than His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons. The hard coal industry, with approximately 168,000 employes, found mi.Jie workers accompanied by their families, from every nook and corner of the anthracite region, heading for WilkesBarre for the big rally. This contingent was supplemented by people from outside the coal fields coming t_o this Luzerne County seat on special excursion sections of steam and electric trains from as far as 200 miles away to see and bear the President of the United States. An hour before Roosevelt's scheduled arrival at 3 p.m ., about 10,000 men and boys, headed by M. J. McLaughlin, grand marshal, marching to the martial music of 50 musical organizationsincluding the famed Catholic Protectory Band of New York City which had led Roosevelt's inaugural' parade-had disbanded after the largest demonstration ever held in this region. When the President arrived, the first man to greet him was President Mitchell. Others were Mayor Fred C. Kirkendall, Rep. Henry Palmer, Philadelphia's Mayor Weaver and the Rev. Father J. J. Curran. Following the exchange of greetings at the railroad station, the Presidentr-aided by regiments of extra police from Scranton, Philadelphia and other cities in the hard coal. area-was escorted to the South River Common where he addressed the massive gathering. . . Roosevelt, in his first talk face-to-face with the mine workers of the anthracite, praised them for the period of labor peace that prevailed following settlement of the long 1902 suspension. He also singled out the great influence which the CTAU represented in building individual character among men. Others who addressed the mass rally were Mitchell, Cardinal Gibbons, Father Curran and Mayor Kirkendall. • Roosevelt, who was accompanied on his trip to the area by a number of his cabinet members, his son Kermit, and nephews : J'Y.n;_.~-.f>Oulil tahn,-._pvnert '' Hnw~ ::ij:_kc:. --1.P.a ancier in } with the added a omg 1 i WED 50 YEARS-Mr. and l\Irs.

NEW Y~RK (PAl)-~reat strides in passage of state civil nghts laws m the first six months of 1959 ar e reported by the National Labor Service. Four · states-Colorado, Massachusetts, Connecticut an d Ore go~-passed. laws prohibiting discrimination . or segregation in pnvate housing, the first such laws enacted at the s tate level in the United States. California passed a statute proh ibiting discrimination in publicly aided housing. California and Ohio join ed 14 other states which have effective Fair Employm ent Practice laws. Maine joined 22 other states which have civil r ights laws prohibiting discrimination in places of public accommodation, resort or amusement. In•addition to these major achievements, Connecticut strengthened the powers of its Civil Rights Commission by giving it authority to initiate complaints in cases involving discrimination in public accommodations and to issue affirmative relief orders in all types of cases under its jurisdiction. - California broadened its civil rights statute by making it applicable to all business establishments and to professional and vocational schools. Sanctions available to the New Mexico •Fair Employment Practice Commission were strengthened somewhat, and Missouri enaeted a ~tatute prohibiting discrimination in state employment, but provided no punishment for · evasion. Missouri also made its temporary Human Rights Commission a permanent agency of the state. Washington prohibited discriminatory inquiries in connection with credit applications. Idaho, California and Nevada repealed their prohibitions against interracial marriage~. At the monument grounds, the President was reported to have. been particularly impressed by the ranks of nearly 100 Grand Army of the Republic veterans who acted '.as a guard of honor. He paused long enough to converse with Cot C. . Bow Dougherty, whom he hailed as "comrade," and also Zebulon Butler, direct descendent of Col. Butler who commanded the forces at the Battle of Wyoming. After placing a wreath of roses at the base of the monup1ent, Roosevelt and hls party contlnµed on into Pittston where his ~ain awaited to take h.im to Lake Chautauqua where he was to deliver an address the following day.

President Claude Jodoin, of the Canadian Laoor Congress, has bluntly charged that the Canadian ~arllifadurers' -Associati<;>n is obviously trying "to weali,:en the role of trade unions_ ih their efforts to obtain for their membersliip a fair share of indtistry's profi~~ , Referi'ing to proposals that the m!mu(acture~s ~av~ m~de t? the Canadian government fo regulats labor umons, Joffoiri declared ! • , "The ' picture which the CMA paints of manufacturers being the victims of big labor unions is factually false. "Figures which the CMA quotes with 'regard to the financiai strength of unions show the workers' organizations to be extremely poor beside the wealth of corporations, many of 'Which are the backbone of the CMA." The CMA, Jodoin charged, has now "placed itself firmly _on record as seeking so-called 'right-to-work' laws of the type which were rejected by United States voters in five of the six states in which they were an issue" in the recent election. "These laws are simply a prohibition against an employer and his empioyes mutuaily· entering into a contract which is based on the democratic system of sharing responsibilities. . "This is the same system as that which governs ou,r taxation. If the CMA is sincei·ely concerned wlth what it describes as the 'fundamental human right 1 to work, it might better devote attention to the present gi'owing unemployment resulting from many of its members laying off empioyes." • At the same time United Steelworkers Canadian Director William Mahoney in a statement on the proposais charged that tlie CM.A "with typical arrogance," confuse.cl 11 tiie economic interests of a minority of employe1's With the 'public interest.' " . . The brief, Mahoney said, is "ah open attempt to limit bargaining power by legislation useful on1y to those employers who anticipate strikes -and strikebreakers." . Mahoney also condemned the "lmportation of the discr~ditefl U. $. concept of antl-uhion-security legislation," typified by American "right~to-work" laws.

The survey-type project has been set up for a seven-month period, and should be completed early in 1960. • Tlie objective of the program is to determine the nature and potential extent of applications of radioisotopes and reiated technology to the mining, transport, and storage of coal by the coal industry and to the storage, in-plant handling, and use of coal by major consumer groups. The results should comprise an excelle~t oasis for programming further radioisotopic research and engineering projects to d~velop improved coal production ·a i:a utili:ation methods. The project is one of a series on selected industries i:iei.rlg performed by various organizations under the sponsor:5hip of the Office of Isotopes Development of the AEC. Under the AEC program Bituminous Coal Research, Inc., will giye attention to those problems i~ the production ·an~ ·use of coal where existing raa.ibisotoplc technology can be applied and also to coal inclustry problems that might require the development or new radioisotopic methods to solve them. Problems in introducing radioisotopic methods in the coal industry as well as the availability of manpower qualified to handle these ~ew techniques, w:in be examined by BCR. Appropriate ways to supply future trained manpower will also be considered. A study of efficiency gains the coal and related industries might achieve through use of radioisotopes will be included in the program. • For the AEC, Bituminous Coal Research, Inc. will make recoininenciaHbns on steps necessary to expedite the application of radioisotopic methods by tlie coal industry and major coal consumer groups. • In completing the objectives of the project, BCR will use qualified oheinists, chemical engineers, mining and preparation engineers 1 a geologist, fuel technologists, and market analysts. Dr. H. J. Rose, BCR vice president and consultant, is the principal investigator on the ptoject, and J. W. Igoe, BCR director of ad. m.ihistfatiori arid secretary-treasurer; is BCR's coordinator with the AEC. . , THe Nuclear Science and Engineering Corporation of Pittsburgh, Pa., wlll serve BCR as techriical consultants in radioisotopic technology. . _ • Imperial Coal Teciri'i Wins Prize The six-man safety team of Imperial Coal Corp., Diamond No. 2 Mine, Boltz, Pa., for the second consecutive year is winner of the N'ortli Central District Safety Association first-aid meet held recently at Indiana, Pa.

As head of the Employm ent Service, Norwood will be responsible for the coordinat ion and guidance of the employment service activities of the 53 state a nd t errit or ial employment security agencies which administer t he more than 1,800 - local public employment offices across the nation. Since completing his gra duate st udy in business administration at the University of Florida in 1938, Norwood h as spent his entire career in employment securit y work, except fo r t hat time spent in military service. Beginning in June 1,938 as a st atis tician \.vith the Florida Indus trial Commission, he h as served r espectively as the commission's chief of reports and a nalysis, director of unemployment compensation, and, more recently, employment service director. In 1952, he was granted a four -mon t h leave of absence from the Florida Commission to come t o Washington , D. C. to serve as chief of unemployment compensation fo r veterans at the Bureau of Employment Security. Norwood is immediate past president of the Interstat e Conference of Employment Security Agencies, an organization in which he has been active for many years. As the new assistant director of the Bur eau of Employment Security, Norwood succeeds Arthur W. Motley, whose appointment as director of the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor 1 Standards was announced later. Norwood was born in Ocala, Fla. His undergraduate and postgraduate work was taken at the University of Florida. He is a yeteran of World War II and saw service with the Army in the Southwest Pacific area. • °Labor Baiters Also After Farm Co-ops James G. Patton, president of the National' Farmers Unjon, has denounced the "right-to-work" movement for soliciting funds from farmer cooperatives to support passage of anti-collective bargaining laws. Patton charged that the "right-to-work" fund solicitors "are the same people who consistently have tried to destroy farmer cooperatives." • "Now these people who have worked for years against the best interests of the farmer have the gall to ask the farmer to help them destroy the farmers' best market-organized labor," Patton said. 9(, /, j , .::~ '.);' • t--:l~- ,_.

The first 11 articles carried the story from the earliest historical references to coal down to the impact of the newly invented steam engine on •the English coal industry. Part 12, Blasting Powder and Safety Lights, described later steps toward modernfzation dnd safetr, in Great Britain, : By Alden Todd Journal Correspo11dent Although British .coal mining in volume and in technique was the world's leader for a long time, British min. ers were slower than those on the continent of Europe to substitute blasting powder for the foil of pick, wedge, hammer and shovel. Englishmen used gunpowder in battle as early as the seige of Honfleur in 1415, during the Hundred Years War against France. ·B ut they did not adapt it to coal mining until more than two centuries afterward . . De~pite its danger, blasting was recognized as a great laborsaver. Thomas Wilson of Newcastle-on-Tyne, the dialect poet and coal mining buff, contrasted the old, toilsome method of wedging to the new method of getting coal by blasting in this passage from his long poem '"rhe Pitman's Pay," published in 1828: "Here aging have the old langsyners (old-timers) Many a weary, warkin' (aching) byen (being), •Now .unknown t6 coal;Y 'lyhers, All bein' maul-and-wedge work then. "I've bray'd (pounded) for hours at woody coal, .• Wi' arms 'most droppin' from the shoulder; But now they just pop (fire) in a hole And flap (blow) her down at once wi' powder." While coal mining technique progressed in many ways through the centuries, the lighting of coal mines was just about as crude in 1800 as in 1400-except that . the cand.les spluttered less. The deeper and more extensively coal mines were driven, the greater became the need for light. Greater, as well, became the dangers from accumulated explosive gas; since miners continued to ·work with open-flame oil lamps and with candles in even the most gassy pits. There are reports that some miners experimented with putrefying fish as a form of safety light, but the soft glow Jrom the phosphorus produced by the decaying flesh was insufficient for the job. As a safety light, it smelled in more ways than one. The first known attempt at a mechanical safety ligqt: was the so-called ''flint and steel mill" invented by one Carlyle Spedding sothewhere between 1730 and 1750. This was a device hun " around the ne<:k of a 'boy helper, who would stick close to a work~ ing rttiner and turn the mill crank, causing an abrasive steel wheel to scrape_against a p~ece of .flint and send out a shower of sparks. The fact that explosives ,could be put to work as a blasting agent, r ather than rnere1y to propel cannon and musket balls, occurred to a group of political conspirators before it did to coal miners. Hatching the famous Gunpowder Plot in 1605, they hoped to blow up King James I of England and the House, of Lords with one match. To do the job they hid 36 barrels of gunpowder under piles of coal and faggots in the cellars of Westminster Palace. But there was a leak and the plot, instead of the palace, was blown wide open. The hired killer, Guy Fawkes, was caught and Change In Color Indicated Gas executed along with. the rrten who paid him.' It was claimed that the mill · indicated the presence of flamDespite the publicity which th/ Gunpowder Plot brought to e:>..--plosives, coal miners through the rest of the 17th Century mable gas by changes in the color and size of the sparks.

Arcuri (left) and William Freedman of the Stokes Coa-1 & Oil Oo. The owner of the bullcllng, Herbert Strauss, learned the hnrd way that anthracite . is cheaper and more efficient than n'.atural gas. Immediate steps should be taken by the City of New York to protect investment property owners against improper estimates· of heating and hot water fuel costs, according to Michael Delaney, executive vice president of Stokes Coal & Oil Co. "Owners of cold water flats housing ten or more families must install heat by November 1, 1959," said Delaney. "Since this represents a sizeable investment, the building owner is entitled to the protection of accurate estimates before selecting the fuel. "A recent incident in our company will serve to illustrate my point,'' he continued. "One of our customers, Herbert Strauss, owns a building at 2102 Eighth Avenue. The four-story building houses 13 families and two stores in a 25-foot by 85-foot structure ex'1)osed only front and rear. Utility company engineers estimated the annual cost for heat and hot water for the 13 families at approximately $1,300 for an entire year. "After one year's experience and $1,980 worth of fuel bills, Strauss called on us to remove the gas burner and install grates for burning No. 1 buckwheat anthracite," said Delaney. The building is one of several thousand in New York City which are called "cold-water flats," Delaney pointed out. This means there was no central heat in the building prior to the installation of the present heating system'. A building owner is required by law to install the system prior to November 1, 1959. ,The New York State Rent Commission, which controls rents in New York City, provides the building owner with rent increases for heat and hot water services. In this manner, building owners can recover the capital cost of installing the heat and hot water !;ystem. However, the law does not permit the owner to charge more rent for a · gas-heated building than one which is heated by coal. • Strauss decided that he would be unlikely to recover the cost since the high gas bU!s were wiping out his permissible increases. Facetl with this dilemma, Strauss consulted Stokes Coal & Oil Co. of N.Y. William Maher of the sales department then worked out an estimate of the savings which No. 1 buckwheat anthracite could make. Maher calculated that 52 tons of No. 1 buckwheat anthracite per year would provide all 1;3 families wjth heat and hot water. Based on current fuel prices, this means that anthracite would do the job for $988, or a saving of $1,0Q0 per year. Divided among the 13 families it means that heat and hot water would be provided for each family at $76 per year with anthracite, compared with $152.30 per family per year with gas. Delaney concluded, "Here is a case of where the heating cost estimate was 'out of line' and created a real hardship for the owner. There ls no other way to account for the almost $700 per year difference between actual cost and the estlmnte. But one thing is sure; it costs less than half ns much to heat with buckwheat anthracite in New York than it docs with natural Mrs. J. Blair Shaffer, of Knox Dale, Pa., has written UiJIWA President .Tohn L. [.,eicis that her husband, a miner, passed away in January 1959 and "is not here to read the Journal any longer."

The builder; Alfred A. DeFalco, says he chose the Ant hratube because "anyone who w ants t he most economical and the most satisfactory heat can find it in the automatic Anthratube." DeFalco went on to say that he expects to heat the eight-room house cwith 6.5 tons of anthracite pea coal This includes hot water. This means that the owner will spend $155 a year for heat and hot water, which is $90 less than the ne,xt ·1owest priced automatic fuel at prevailing fuel prices. Considered over a 20-year period, which is the normal life of a mortgage, a home owner will save approximately $1,800. This swn could be applied to a more rapid amortization of the mortgage or substantial property improvements. According to DeFalco, the Anthratube is one of the most efficient heating units on the market. By utilizing heat that normally is lost up the stack, operating efficiency has been raised to 86 percent. Another -advantage of the Anthratube, adds DeFalco, is 6:leanliness. Since the unit operates on an induced draft, air and dust from the ashes are constantly drawn inwards. A "cyclone separator" performs a double action of absorbing heat and separating fly ash from flue gases. Fly ash is dropped to the grate, from where it falls into the ash receptacle which is completely enclosed in the base of the unit. DeFalco plans to install other Anthratube units in homes which are now in the planning stage. Dist. 50 Rep. Andrew Yevcak SIX-~OLD - John L.

NovembL "13th, 1927. Mr. George. B. Pryde, Was talking to Mr Love this morning regarding the opening of the Theatre, and ho advi121es that h e will be ready to open the theatre ~ith a show on Saturday evening November 19th. He Will have two s how s, and the f'eature picture will be Mc,Fadd.en F'J.ats, ,--... ' md there will be a comedy reel, a11d Pathees Weelcly. The dance hall will not be ready for Saturday night, a.n d 11lr Love does not think well of the idea of having a dance and show on the same evening, claiming t~at it will mix things up and neither be a success. He does not care to have the band out, and t,he programme at present is that I say a few words before the opening' of each show, and that you or any of the officials who can be l1ere also rnal{e a few remarks, and Mr Crank President of The U M ,., of A, also mal{e a few remarks. The opening dance will be held on Thakagiving Eve, under/4 auspices of the American Legion. We will be glad to have as many of the orficials and their wives present on each of the above dates,(Nov 19th, and Nov 24th ) as can malce it convenient to attend;. ~r Love reels that on account of the :rush there will be in connection with moving in and getting th~ngs ready that it will be impossible to arrange ror anrthing more in connection with the opening night, than the programme outlined above.

If the l eas e at Hanna is to be r en e~ed, I would suggest tha t the matter of f urnishing electricity t0· t he Opera and Club House be g iven careful consi dera•tiono The f ollowi ng is quo t ed f r om th e pr esent lease: 2. The Les see agrees to pay to t he Les sor for the use of s a id Op era House building, the followi ng amounts to-wit: (a) 8% of ·t he gross s a l es or r ece ipts . whether for cash, credit o~ f or coupons issued by the Sto r e of the Lessor acc r uing f r om the picture show, pool tables, bowling alley, s ale of tob acco, soft drinks, newspapers, candy, nut s, ice cream am other mer c band ise, au tho ri zed by the Lessor to be sold on said premises. (b) f;10.oo per month for the S!:)ace, water and light used in connection with s ai d Barber Shop . 7. The Lessor agrees to maintain and keep the s aid leased premises in a ren.sonable r epair D.t its own cost and ex:,oense 0 '~be cost of heating said premises shall be borne solely by tbe Lessee and the Lessor shall sell the Lessee fuel for such purposes, at the same price charged its employes. Hhile it is not specifically stated in the contract, ... j, t ---..) �I - 2- Mr o E • 8 0 Brooks - is my understanding that the 8% commission was to cover r ental of the building and electricity furnished for lighting and for the operation of' iloving Picture Liacbine. In connection with our- investigation of loss on operations of Hanna Electric Light Plant concerning which I will writ e you f ully in a few d ays, it was found tha t in addition to the l i ghts, :Mr 0 Love is using electricity for a Ca rbona tor, an Air Compr essor, f our Hea ters, Elect ric Pi a no and a Popcorn Machineo I under s t and t h at a met er is installed at the Theatre but th at the el ectricity f~rnished t he Cl ub Ho use and a~pliances insta lled therein, i s not measured. The l.line Su oerintend- ent has est;imated tha t the appliances in the Club House i nc luding the lamps will use approximat ely 1,338.9 K'F! hours per week or 5,738.1 r.r hours ever y t hirty da ys. It is estimat ed tha t t h e bea ters alone v,ill use anproxim!l.tely 5,000 KI! hours every t hirty da ys. I f ind th at I1r. Love purchased for use a t the Club House, only one ton of coal each month during Dece mber 192 0, January and February 1921. ~vidently llr. Love is using electricity furnished free by the Company,to heat the Club House, instead of purchasing coal for that purpose. It may be that he was authorized to use electricity for heating purposes, but if so, I have. not been advised ·to that effect.

The agreement with Iur. Love s pecifies that he should pay a% of all receipts accruing from admi ssions to the Opera House and sales of merchandise etc. However, on acc ount of the buildings and fixtur es not being in s uch shape that a profitable business could be carried on prior to November 1, you have re leased l\ir. Love from paying 8% on his reoe i pts , requiring him t o pay only 0 10.00 per month frpm July 1 t o October 31, for use of buildings. Please conf irm or correc t my understanding of th is matter. For your informa tion, I may state that a check of I.ir. Love's business at Superior, shows t ba·t his receipts were $ 89.09 for July, (~ 666. 71 for Augu.s t, ~l,632.0 2 for Sep tember and $1,636.75 for October, of which had the regular commission been collected, the Company would have received {~7.13, ~~63.34, ~130.56 and ~130.94, or a total of (~321.97 • �tf( ANOARIJ Mr. E. s.

However, I find tha t at. Hanna and Reliance, t he ma intena nce and r epairs of t hese bu ildings have not been reported separ a tely on Form ZO o I have re r.uested the Mine Su~erintendent s t o s end me a stat ement s howing t he amounts expended on these buildings since the leases ·went int o effect, and I ex-9ect to have the mat ter in sha pe to submit t o you by Ja nua ry 1st. In the meantime, I would s ugges t tha t the entire $4 0000 collected at Superior in July, August, Se9tember and October, be credited to the Real Estate Department. II Du.ring November, Mr. Love's receipt s a t Su·p erior amounted to 02 ,344016, on which the Storekeeper collected commission of s% Until a basis of division is arrived a t, I would suggest that an arbitrary amount for rental - s ay ~~3 5.00 or ~)40. 00, and an estimated amount for light and water, if the exact amount cannot be determined,be credited to the r.eal Est ate Department, the remainder to go to the Uerchandi se Department. If you agree with me in this, ulease advise me what amount you think should be credited to the Real Estate Department, and I will advise the Mine Su·-1 erintendent and Storekeeper bow the collections should be handled Adjustments can be made for November and December business, as soon as an exact basis for division is determined.

Brooks, General l\llanager, Rock Springs, Wyo., Dear Sir: Referring to your letter of June 1'7 , sugges ting that commission received from Thos. Love, lessee of Opera and Club House at Hanna be divided so that the store will receive a,n arbitrary amount of $125.00 per month, and the remainder applied on the light and rent accounts: Inasmuch as the maintenance, depreciation, troces 9 insurance 9 etc. on this building are charged to the Real Estate Depa rtment, it seems to me that an arbitrary amount should be credited for rent, actual amount for light, and the remainder credited to the Store. The buildings cost ~~14 11 000.00, deprecia- tion charges amount to $43.00 and insurance charges ~}5.00 per month. I am unable to figure maintenance or tax charges. We have been charging $ 40 . 00 per month rent, and ~~10.00 for the barber shop. Whether or not that is enough I am not prepared to say. It would perhaps be a more eq_u itable basis of division to credit the Real Estate Department with Actual light and power provided all electricity used in the' entire building is measured. (2) Commission on admissions to the Opera House, as the Store De~artment is not concerned in that part of the building. (l) ., �- ·· -·- Mr. E. s. Brooks (3) .An arbitrary amount representing rental for the Club House. (4 ) Rental from Barber Shop (~~10.00 per month ) Such division would l eave the Store the commission on merchandise sales, less an arbitrary amount for rental of Club House. Thia matter is however, left to your judg¢hient, and if you decide that ~~125.00 for the Store's proportion should stand, I will issue in- r structions accordingly. For 111:ay , and I presume for June also , the Mi m Department billed for ~~40.00 rent, $100 00 barber shop, and actual amount of light, the store retaining the remainder of the oommissiono Yours respectfully, __,,..

The old building t hat Ur. S\·1ann now occupies could no doubt be rented as a business house or rooming ilouse for a rente.1 large enough to overcome the appurent annual deficit . Ho..-;ever , g;iving consideration to all .:i.nt;l es of the situation, ne feel that instead of starting to work out ths details for a building now, on account of 1 �• J - - 3 ,M fact that the budget items must soon b e submitted, it v10uld be better if we gave more detailed consideration during the year 1925, as we f eel we would then be in a much better position to give intelligent cons ideration to the whole situation and certainly ,;ie cannot be any wors e off under the present conditions for another year tha n we have bee n for t he last f i ve year s. The estimat e we 1~ de does not include an item of -~20 ,000.00 which we are now carrying for insuranc e t o cover v a lua ble records in the Engineering Department which may b e lost on a c count of fire . annually. Th e premium on t h is amounts to $200. 00 If we had a new building r, i th good f i re proof vault s as r,e contemplate building , this item could be practically cut out.

It seems to me from such information as I can ,· j gather from the contract itself , that several points may have been overlooked in di·awi ng i t. very likely the building con- •r tains furni tu.xe and fixtures which a re included in the lease but · nothing is said therein ab ~ut the ownership of such furniture and fixtures,nor is there a schedule attached to the l ease to . identify themo l!'Urther, if such pe rsonal property is leased, .i. there should be some provision in the agreement imposing u~on ~ the ~essee the obligation to give it proper ca reo j ~ j ~ 1, -.; ~ ~•he liability for maintaining and repairing the contract. )-.,,, J' \'J hile a charge of $ 10000 a month i s indicated to pay for water and light, nothing is said about the heating and this should also be covered by a suitable provision. d Jf '\ i~ r imagine that the £essee will continually be exceeding his rights under this lease in the nature of merchandise sold by him as the limitation as to articles to be sold is probably more restricted than \Vas meant. He i s specifically prohibited from selling any other articles than those mentioned and those mentioned are tobaccos, soft drinks, candy,nuts and ice cream . ~his would preclude the sale of fruit and other articles which are usually and properly sold at a refreshment stand. .... },_.. .6nc. ~~ ~ ~ ,! ~ J~ "'-,C': i i """ -- .. ...__ �r 7 ,J1.mc 1 '7, 1<J20 . ?·'..ll.~:t .·c ' JliC:,'v.u 1< 1 ,,...._ J, . :. ,.c t! o .:. 1... ,~ t l ~11 I.l Gto L'C Ycuro truly• J I L _ __ J ..,_._. 1.- �--· ..----- 09 S'OBJ~OT: ,,-...
