Dear Sir: I wish to thank you very kindly for the courtesies extended us at Rock Springs, and wfsh to say that we enjoyed our trip through your No. 8 Mine. You have a wonderfully fine mine, with exceptional physical conditions. I would appreciate very much having a plan of your mine, together with data showing the tonnage mined by scrapers and by Eichoffs . .Also information relative to the actual tons per man, produced by mechanical loading as compared to the old hand loading methods, and the average number of men required to operate the scrapers as well as the Eichoffs. Inasmuch as the conditions are different at some of your other properties, I am wondering whether you would have any objections to furnishing me with information in regard to what success you have had with mechanical. loading where roof conditions are somewhat bad, and somewhat similar to our southern district mines. Any additional data which you should care to furnish, in connection with mechanical loading, and the various drives which you have found best adapted to your conditions and to the machine used, will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mro Pryde,I hasten to urite thanking you for the very ~arm reception both you and Mr. McAuliffe gave me on my recent visit to your mines. It was my first visit to the Tiest but if this was typical western hospitality, then it is unique. No where have I met in my travels such readiness to help a member of the mining fraternity to learn and profit by a visit as I did at Rock Springs. Fom the President down to the workmen at the face I found a readiness to give helpful information and believe me I now regard my trip as of positive value to myself personally and I hope also to ~ our Company. There were several matters which impressed me and I feel constrained to refer to them here First - Your President, Mr. McAuliffe, is not unknoun to me since I am fairly familiar with his uritten contributions to the problems of coal mining. His writings are c incisive, clear-cut, thorough, and since meeting him I feel that these writings are a true expression of the man himself. I would be glad if you would express to him my app~eciation of his hearty welcome to me. �- 2 .June 6 P 1927 o Second Your staff of officials have a wonderful spiri·t of' enthusiasm a,'nd are all apparently eager i_;o co-operate to make things ' a go'. Loya.lty 0 I would judge, is the dominant characteristico This does not develop of itselfo I am sure it is the result of superi or management. Loyelty begets lo ya ltyo Fortunate is that Company wh ere every official is imbued crith the idea of pr ogress ive success in co-operationo Thi rd - I talked with a number of y our workmen and noted that quite apart from their own particular duties they displayed a vi de interest in the ope rat ion of the mine. Of course my judgment, based on a few minut es' talk here and there where so many men are involvedp must o f necessity be superficial, and y0t I came to the firm conclusion t hat they were much above the average o~ workmen found in coal mi ne so ~hat is the secret of contented, happy, and int e lligen~G \1orkmen? It is not a.. question of' uage rate surely , although your rates to us seem inordinatel y higho I read ,7 ith great interest your :Magazine for employees and I uould be indebted to you if you could see your way clear to send ma one or tuo issues for I think I can glean ~rom them some o~ the reasons or causes that contribute to this very satisfactory oonditiono Fourth - I was impressed ~ith what seemed to me the prodigious strides made in mechanization in your collieries within the last tvo yearso Previous to that, according to percentages given me, progress was very gradual, as it should be when experience was being acquiredo You have nov reached a. point vhere you oan go forward with confidenceo I a.m sure· it must be encouraging to yours ell!', vrhen it is an inspiration to outsiders like mysalf 0 to see ·such progress in meohanizationo Reflecting wh~t Isau and heard at Rook Springs, I am tempted to ask one or two questions, which I trust you vrill not regard as presumptuouso While day rate paid is high, the percentage . of days uorked is lou and the monthly earnings are not appreciably higher than our rrorkmen geto Is this an exoep-'iiional condition for the period or does this indicate normal operations? Is the cost of living high? Perhaps the best way to answer this would be to indicate house rentals end board costs f'or single meno �G. Bo Prydeo 3 June 6, 1927. Hou many workmen to the Company pro~ide houses for, and what provision do you make in this respect when occasion compels you to import workmen? Do y ou experience difficulties by the United Mine ITorkers' o?ganization interferi~g o r attempting to regulate actual operations within the mine? Where you have bath houses, h ow much are the men taxed Zo? these? Is your work day eight hours at the face and if so 0 is this tim e strictly adhered to? What are the datal rates for common labo r underground, machine mining of the coBl, mining coal by ·contract 0 loading co &l by contract, s-ui--face la bol?? I noted a number of autos at No. 8 Mine, owned, I was informed, by the oorkm~n oh o use them going to and :from uoi--ko This i:/8 judge in Ca~a.d~ '2.s an evidence of proaperityo \'!hat percentage, roughly, of your 'w orkmen own cars and use them in this way? If you can see · your way clear to answer this questionnaire, it \7ill help._ me to 'complete my survey or- this field and, needl~ss. to sayp I uill appreciate it. Again thanking you for your unfailing kindnesses and courtesies, I remain, Yours very sincerely, ALH/rum.

Mr. George Pryde,, v.P., Union Paoifio Coal Company, Rock Springs, Wyo. My dear Mr. Pryde:The Bethlehem Mines Corporation, which is a subsidiary of the Bethlehe~ steel Company, produces approximately 70 000 0 000 tons of Coal per year. A number of its mines are located in this immediate vicinityo There are two divisions in l'Jorthern West Virginia, one in Marion County and one in Preston Countyo Mr. A. Wo Louther is Manager of the Preston Division. Under his supervision a great deal of experimental work is being done with various mechanical loading devices. ~. Louther expressed to me a desire to visit Rock Springs and see for himself what the Union Paoific Coal Company is aocomplishing with mechanical loading. He is a very olose friend of mine and I wired Mr. McAulif'fe whether or not it would be agreeable to have Mr. Louther visit the Union Pacific Coal Company mines at Rock Springs. This morning I have a wire from Mr. MoAuliffe at New York, advising that the Union Pacific Coal Company will be glad to receive Mr. Louther at Rock Springs at his convenience. 1u-. Louther will greatly appreciate this courtesy. He expects to leave here Sunday, October 16tho En route he will visit Trinidad, Colo. and from there will go direct to Rook Springs, arriving in Rock Springs on or about Friday, October 21st. I have advised Mr. Louther that you are in direot charge of operations and that for many years you have been a personal friend of mine and I have, therefore, given him this letter to you because I am desirous of his being in good hands while at Rock Springs. It has been some time since I was in Rook Springs but I never forget rrry old side-kicks and often think of you and the good times we used to have at Cheyenne and I often wish it were pos·s ible to sit down and hear some of those good Scotoh stories ,mich you always seemed to have on tap and which you knew so well hO\'T to tell. Everything is going fairly well here, except that for the past neek and since the Illinois settlement, the Union is again picketing all mines in the Scotts Run District and giving us as much trouble as pos3ible. When I first came here this was rather trying on the nerves but we have had so m.uoh of it that we really pay but little attention to it nOlVo If you should see Mro Quealy, Glen Knox or Doc La.uzer ·please convey :my good wishes to them and tell them I often think of them 0 Mr., MeAulif'fe was kind enough to put me on the mailing list for your monthly ~.agazine nnd many times there are articles that make me think of the old days and the old friendships. I hope that e~y:t.M is going well with you o.nd th.at you are enjoying good health0 Wi-tn best wishe f'or the future and your prosperity, I run, .( / s,}. -.r "J../-if �., Form 1204 CI.Ass OP SEtlvtCI? - ' ·~WESTERN : UNION This-· is a full-rate Telegram 'or Cablegrll,m unless its character-is indicated by a symbol in the check or in the address. ...

Ju / Rook Springs, Wyoming. My dear 1Jr. MORGANTOWN , ~ Pryde:- I just returned from Toronto, Canada, and find your letter of Oot. 27 on my desk, with reference to the visit of Mr. Louther and others of the Bethlehem Mines Corporationo Mro Louther was in the office yesterday and could riot ·say enough about the courteous Tray in which you handled them while they were with you, and I want to thank you sincerely because in helping them you did me a good turn. Mr. Louther spoke very highly of the progress you are making with mechanical loading and I am sure that the visit proved worthwhile for him and his associateso You say that you imagine it would be a hard job to keep the "animals" in line. I do not know miether you have reference to the miners or the operators, but to an old friend like you I can make a frank confession and say to you that I would just as soon attempt to keep one set or 11 animals 11 lined up as the other 0 However. the operators in this district are no different than -in the many other districts which I have had the opportunity of visiting while I was with the National Coal Association. What the coal operators need is a thorough-going line of statistical information. Without it there oan be no intelligent supervision; there can be no comprehensive management and certainly there can be no comprehensive ·mefohandising of the product and. of course, without the latter. there can be no profits. Sometimes I almost give up hope of the operators working out their own destiny. However. I live in hopes. I do hope to get out west again in the very near future and when I do I expeot to spend a day in Rock Springs just to say "Hello" to you and those other good friends of· earlier days. I hope everything is going well with you and that you are prospering. DHP/g EXE(cfil'l:'fflf7 TARY �HERBERT H .TAYLOR , PRESIDENT B. L . SHEPARD , SECRETARY 8, TREASURER EDWIN R .

Dear Mr. Dickinson: I have just received word from our Sales Manager in Columbus, stating that a Mr. N. J. Clark, Manager of the Caledonia Collieries Company, of Australia, had been in Columbus in the course of touring the United States coal fields. Mr. Clark is on his way West, and expects to be in this vicinity in a few weeks. He is especially interested in the mining of thick coal seams, ranging fran 14' to 25', so I was wondering should Mr. Clark desire to go to Wyoming, if you would be so kind and give him all the possible information in regard to your Hanna, Wyoming operation. I am compelled to le~ve for Canada and the Northwest in a few days, so I will be unable personally to conduct Mr. Clark. However, with your permission I will write a letter of introduction to you, and any information you wish to give him will certainly be appreciated. Very sim erely yours, TEE ~~NUFACTURING CO.

October 9i 1945 Mro Io No Bayless The Union Pacific Coal Co. Rook Springs, Wyoming Dear Mr. Bayless: I received your telegram of October 6th and was fortunate in getting a hotel reservation for Mr. Rosser in spite of the fact that the city is filled with conventions and the World Series ball game. Mr. Rosser came into the office October 8th and the first thing he did was ask that we send, \vb.en writing you ;, his sincere thanks for your hospitality and trouble in showing him about the mines. He intends to send his own letter of thanks on return to India. We greatly appreciate the courtesy as N~. Rosser is connected with the coal mines of Andrew Yule & Co. of India and until the outbreak of war, had nothing but Goodman coal cutting machines in their mines, and it is my belief that they had probably over 60 of these in use. They are accordingly, a very valuable and loyal cliant. Mr. Rosser expressed to me that the conditions he saw at Rock Springs were very similar to those in India and he has outlined a mining system for using Duckbills which will be set up for their mines.

While his mine apparently works on longl·rall, he is particularly interested in using Duckbills for entry driving. Apparently he has some side pitch just as you do. He is going to be in Denver in about a week and would very much like to visit one or more of your mines from Rook Springs. You have been so cooperative in the matter of these visitors in the past that we feel no hesitation in asking if you would again be kind enough to permit this young man to see some of your fine installations. If this is agreeable, would you be good enough to let us know immediately and advise if we should give him a letter of introduction to Mr. Livingston or some other official designated by yourself?

We wish to thank you very much for. your great help regarding this matter. 0 After some tedious procedures were taken in the meantime for the clearance of visas and transit visas as well, the itinerary of his trip has just been completedo It includes the inspection tour of roughly 45 days in the u. s.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha 2, Nebraska July 28, 1953 Dear Mr. Bayless: You might have heard: that the Paul Weir Company has an arrangement with the National Coal Board of Great Britain under which, among other things, we schedule visits for observation of American coal mining methods and equipment by teams of selected British engineers. While there have been a number of such teams in the country both in 1952 and in the earlier months of 1953, such teams with slight exceptions have been scheduled on trips east of the Mississippi River only. An additional team of three engineers consisting of Mr. H.J. Widdowson, Assistant to the Director General of Production, Mr. A. Scott, Area General Manager, No. 4 Area, Nor'th-Eastern Division, and Mr. J.M. Pumphrey, Area Production Manager, No. 1 Area, Northern Division, is coming over in September. They have expressed a general interest in seeing some of our western mining operations and a specific interest in visiting the administrative offices of your company. I understand that Mr. Widdowson, the senior member of the party is ~specially interested in learning about the management structure of our larger coal companies such as yours. It is my thought that the team would spend the first several days of their stay in Oklahoma, followed by a visit of a day or so to your Omaha office, my best guess at this moment being that this would be around September 17 to 1a·. I would greatly appreciate your letting me know whether you would be willing to have the team come to your office, and if so, whether the above dates would appear to be satisfactory, at least so far as you can tell at this time. If it further meets with your approval, I thought the team might go to Rook Springs the w~ekend of September 19-20, and have a fairly hasty look at one or two of ~our operations on the 21st to 22nd. These several possibilities would complete their contacts with Union Pacific Coal Company in that I am not sure as yet whether to have them see any other mining operations in the west, probably in Utah, or to return direct to the east where they would also like to spend a short time in similar visiting. Please do not hesitate to make any alternative suggestions that might ocour to you and to let me know whatever your thoughts might be on the above suggestions. With highest regards, ~-- Yours very sincerely, /s/ Clayton G. Ball Vioe President �NO. 20 �Omaha - December 080-3 Mro V. O.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebraska Dear Mr. Bayless: The Institute of International Eduoation was fortunate again this year in having your oooperation in conneotion with the carrying out of a training program for six British engineers under the Mutual Security Agency, now Foreign Operations Administration. Through Mr. Lionel Farr of the Goodman Manufacturing Company you made it possible for these men, all employee of the National Coal Board, to spend a month st~dying the operations of your company in the Rock Springs area. This was a very fruitful experience for these young men and they benefitted greatly by the planning and assistance provided them through Mr. v. o. Murray. Members of the group have now returned to Great Britain and to their jobs, and expeot to find many ways to apply the ideas and broad experience gained through this year of study in _the United States. On behalf of the Foreign Operations Ad.ministration and the Institute I would like to thank you and the members of your staff for the contribution you have made to this program in international education exchange. We believe it has fulfilled its purpose of equipping these men to help inore~se the productivity of the British mines.

Bayless, President The Union Pacific Co al Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebr. Dear Mr. Bayless: British Mining Engineers As in the past several years, our company is taking part with the Institute of International Education in assisting British Mining Engineers who come to this country to do graduate work at one or other of our universities and then observe American mining systems. Each year you have been good enough to help us in that portion of the program which calls for observation of mining practices and mining conditions. This year there are six of these students, three. Soots, two Midlanders and a Londoner. Actually the latter is not really a Mining Engineer, but a Coal Technologist specializing in the uses of coal. They are now visiting mines in Illinois and will be in our factory for the next two weeks undergoing a course in different types of mining machinery. The records of all six men are · attached to this letter, and we do hope you can find it convenient to allow these men to study your operations in the Rock Springs area, and possibly at Hanna, in all of which places they can see conditions somewhat similar to those existing in their own country but where the most efficient mining methods are used. In the past the visit to the Union Pacific Coal Company's properties has been the highlight of these students' field trips, and they have been loud in their praise of the many courtesies received and the great value they obtained from the visit. We see no reason why this present group will _not also so regard it. It 1s not our idea to inflict any burden upon those companies who are good enough to accept these students, and the students themselves are willing to take advantage of any type of transportation which may be available. We feel, and generally the students agree with us, that a fleeting glimpse of the operation does not give the full picture and it is much better if they can go to the face at the beginning of a mine shift and see the complete cycle of operations, even though this may entail several d~ys provided it does not interfere with the normal procedures of the coal company. These men, too~ are the future officials of the various coal companies in Great Britain and are particularly interested in the management angle, mining �- 2 - engineering, etc., and if you can afford them an opportunity to study this as have done the groups in the past, we would very much apprec'iate it. If you can see your way clear to again have these men visit your operations we would arrange for them to arrive in Rook Springs on Monday, July 6, and have them report to whatever point you designate. Should the group seem too large to be going to one point at any particular time, they might well split up and McCririck, the Coal Technologist, we feel sure, 't1111 find great interest in your methods of preparing the coal and its transportation. We have already met all six of these young men, three of whom have had two semesters at Penn State and find all of them to be keen, capable young men, very congenial. and mo st anxious to learn and yet put themselves at the disposal of their host. Needless to add that they are most anxious to make the trip and we hope you can see your w~v clear to accept them. With kindest regards and much appreciation of the help you have given us in the past, we are Yours very truly, /s/ Lionel Farr Sales Engineer �INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION 1 East 67 Street, New York 21, N.Y.

You were good enough to permit these men to observe your operations which are the nearest we have in this country to their own conditions, but which, of course, are so much more efficient. We have four of these students in our plant at the present time and are g~ving them a series of courses in different types of mining machinery. We have been asked by the Institute to arrange a tour ~o complete this course. Naturally, they themselves are most anxious to visit your operations and we know of no better place for them to see the proper application of all types of mining equipment under varying conditions and used at its utmost efficiency. The records of all four men are attached to this letter and we would very much appreciate it if you would permit them to study your operations at Winton, particularly in your heaviest pitch; at Stansbury and, if possible, also at Hanna. We would also appreciate it if it could be arranged for them to study your organization methods. If the plan meets With your approval we would arrange for them to arrive in Rook Springs about Sunday, February 24, and have them report to whatever point you designate. All four are very capable young men and we feel sure that if Mr. Murray would designate someone of your officials to lay out a program with them they will be able to fend pretty much for themselves. We assume the young men would be in the Rock Springs vicinity for about two weeks since all are anxious to get as much value as they can from visiting your mines, and it is expected that from there they will proceed to Salt Lake. If the visits meet with your approval, would you be good enough to let us know if the proposed date of arrival is satisfactory, and if not, what date you feel you could have them?

Bayless, President Union Pacific Coal Company 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebraska Mro Subjeot: Godfrey John Williams Dear Mr. Bayless: We feel quite sure you kno\'1 of the plan, which is an offshoot of ECA, under what is known as the Ineti tute of Inter... It..at1ona1 Ed.uoat1on which allows British mining engineers to oome to this country and do graduate work at one of our universities. For the remaining portion of their stay in this country the Institute tries to arrange with some machinery manufacturer to give them a specialized course into mining machinery, and also to arrange for them to visit mining operations which have cond1 t1ons somewhat similar · .t o the part1cu1ar field in Which they are interested, and which are doing an unusually good job under those conditions. Such _a one is Mr • . Godfrey Williams whose record, as given us by the Institute of International Education, is shown on the attached sheet. Here he attended Lehigh University and has Just received his Master's Degree. We are giving him an intensified course in all phases of mini~ equipment. You will notice he wishes to learn about American methods of handling mining machinery, and part1cu1arly about .American methoas of organization. Now, we know of no one who does both of these things as well as yourselves. On top of that, Godfrey has recM,;ed some very sound advice from our mutual friend, Dr. William Reid, formerly of the Fife Coal Company and now of the Scottish Coal. Board, who told him by all means to contact Mr. Bayless and go out to Rock Springe and see coal being mined on pitching seams, under systems which are quite unique, where high percentage of extraction is obtained, and whe~e organization is of the veey beet. Accordingly, Mr. Williams would like to arrive in Bock Springs so that he couJ.d start in about Ju1y 10 and study your operations at Winton, particularly the bottom levels where e believe you have your heaviest pitch, both seams at StansbUI7, and al so at Hanna. He wouJ.d ·11ke to have the opportun1ty to study your organization methods while there, and it seems to us that he might well spend practically two weeks in the Boak Springs area commencing on July 101 as indicated above, and finishing up the week ending July 21. We believe that Mr. Williams has already written you �-2- for permission to v1s1 t your operations and this letter is merely to amplify his application and to add ourp1ea to his request because we feel that nowhere else oan he get such a thorough, practical grounding in the matters in which he wishes to equip himself as at your operation. In the few days that he has been here we have found Mr. Williams to be a very capable young mining man who has something to impart as well as to absorb, and we feel quite sure that such of your organization who come in contact with him \'7111 enjoy ;. ··:.·. his compaey very much. WoUld you be good enough to let us know if the suggested time meets with your approval and to uhom in your organization Mr. Williams should report? We will then arrange his schedule so that he will be all set to go on the maneh1ft on the day you designate. 1th kindest regard.so Yours very truly, /s/ Lionel Farr Sales Engineer �INSTITUT~ OF INTERNATIONAL · EDµclATION 2 West 46th Street, New York ~_fft~E OF QUALIFICATIONS Name i Godfrey John W1111amso Field: Mining Engineeringo Age: _ Country: 32.

I em ver7 glad to hear from you and to kno,;1 that you arrived homs safelyo We hsve been h0arlng much on the radio and have read some in our p~pors regarding the nationalization ploo nou being adoptcl by the British Isles. Ho;1ever» we do not have enough inforl.ilation to make compstent critics. As rJill Rogers used to say 11 All we kno\·1 is tJhat t:Je read .in the papers." Of course, we have had the ploastlI:'e of maeting a number of Britishers in ~he pa.st fe..-1 years and they have given us quite a history of their mining operations. Wa were very sorry to lea:r:n that Churchill r1as defeat0d in the olectionQ We expected, of cours0, after the def'Gat of the government, -for labor to talre <Wer and at least an attempt to bs made to nationalize or socialize your industcyo Our government at the present time, -and I might say for the past 12 or 14 yeo.rs, has leaned very much tor;ard labor; however., vie feel that management and labor did do n tremendous job- in production to\mrd the war effort. From reading the papers., you would gather that there is much more confusion in this country than there really is at this time. Somo of the mines in the East \'lere out ror a number of days on account of a wild cat foreman's strike, lir. John L. Lewis, National. President of the United Mine V'lorkera of America attempted to capitalize this a trik but waa finally' forced to order the n to return to work. '!his did not affect The Union Paci.fie Ooal Company •. we have had no labor trouble which interrupt;ed mine oper.ations for a number or years I dth the exception, of course., of the times that the national organization requested they lay idle for a few days in 1943, merely., I suppose, to demonstrate to the government that it· could be done. • We are still working full tine and as the year com s to a close, ue still think we will probab).Jr produce 6.,;00,000 tons of coalo We have a national wage negotiation coming up betm:ien January and the first of April next year; just what the outcome will be is difficult to �__,, sayo Just at this time the automotive industry is going through the ______,-,--~·•·--- ·· tlu~m-18 of strikes and 11age negotiations. Much of the publicity being put out at this time is due to the repQrt:.ers endeavoring to gain soma sensational nows. Since the ending of the war, the papers must keap some subject before the public for discussiono I do not mean to sey that this country ia ~tabilized as there are a great many __uncertaintias in • the iinmcdiQ.te future. But we ·ha,Ve-,all ~.c::.9me through the crisis and I f' eel confident that the English )speaking -paople will again be able to settle any difficulties YJhich may arise among themselves. We feel that tho ·.last fev1 days• financial _negotia.ton b0tv1een our country and th6l · British Isles has overcome some of the obstacles which have probably caused some a.nxietyo You may look forward., however., to a number of people in and o:ut of congress who vdll say a good many unkindly things in the near future which should not. be taken too seriously by ·t he Britishers.

HCL:DAT �BIRCH COPPIC~ COLLIERY near Tamworth Morris & Shaw Limited 5.12.1945 Telephone:) & )Polesworth 67 & 68 Telegrams:) My dear Mr. Bayless, I feel so ashamed not to have written to you long ago to let you know of my safe arrival at home and to thank you again for all your kindness to me at Rock Springs. I did and do so very much appreciate what you did for me - a perfect stranger - all the time you personally spared me and the facilities which you placed at my disposal to learn from your excellent organization how to try to do things better over here. I only wish I could have managed to stay longer to learn it better! But I feel my trip to U.S.A. was well worthwhile chiefly on account of seeing your Company and meeting you.· grand folk in Wyoming. I wrote a little note for our local paper 11 The Birmingham Mail 11 and I enclose a cutting in case you would have time to read it. - It does try to express something of my sense of gratitude for I do feel most deeply grateful for all the kindness shown me, above all at Rock Springs. I arrived home to a sorry political mess! We are definitely to become Nationalized whatever that may mean exactly. At least, I hope we shall be left some local autonomy and not tied to civil servants in Whitehall for everything. We a re promised this but politicians are a queer lot and are easily swayed by agitation so what exactly we are in for, no one knows. However, we will try our best to make the new set up work as it is what the people wanted but I fear the pleasure in management will be largely gone if one is to be at the beck and call of interminable committees and controllers and what not. I note you seem to be having a lot of labour trouble - I do trust that you will soon get your people settled down and be able to apply yourself to production in your wonderful 11 all out 11 way which I came to admire so much. Anyway I would be surprised to learn that you have at U.P.C.C. any serious labour troubles - your relations with your men seemed to be so good, based on fair play and natural respect and trust. It was a real joy to see how far this was possible and a real encouragement too. Please remember me to all my friends on your . staff. I have such happy memories of them and their care for me. , Trusting Mrs. Bayless is well and the children. Yours very sincerely, J.C.

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.

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.

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.

Each motor has in its secondary circuit and independent secondary panel and resistor, but contr~lled simultaneously through the mas ter switch controller.

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.

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.

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? J. -;7ere there financial rewards made for suggestions? :/hat was the e I'fect of your suggestion system on labourmanagement relations? l-1-. 1 ";Je here have had labour-!llanagement production committees in both the coal and steel ends of our corporation for the past t'::o years. '.ihile some 18,000 employees_ were thus eligible to make suggestions, _we have had u.il'ficulty in obtaining suggestions �2 sufficient in number and quality. Probabl.v this is due to the fact there were no financial rewards. If it is ·n et i mpo sing on your valuable time, any experience ~· ou have had in this respect would be ap preciat'ed. Yours sincer-.:ly, (S) L. J. Doucet L. J.

Mr. President: We are two students of the mining branch of Aachen university and want to broaden our insights and experiences in this field through working practically in American mines. We have just entered the third academical year. Our study was preceded by several years of practically working in coal mines of the Ruhr and Aachen district. We especially are interested in your mechanical progress in winning coal and moving into new fields. We also have a big interest in personal relations (human relations), what we call the climate of the company. As you probably know we shall receive a visa only when we have in hand a paper from an American coal mine telling those that are concerned that a place of work for about two months is open. May l-re therefore turn to you with our request to accept us as workers and to send us the mentioned certificate. We anticipate your answer with joy and gratitude, trusting that you will understand our situation and generously will give consideration to our request. Yours, � Wolfgang Kerner �NO. 2 �MINING FROBES INDUSTRIAL TEL.PHONE 15G WEST 4TH SOUl'H 4-0473 SALT LIii<£ CITY I, UTIIH / u �Ct.Ass 01' StRVIC!I This is n full•rnte • Telegram or Cable­ r.ram •nlcss its de, fcrred character is in• dicatcd by a suitable symbol :ibo"'.c or pre­ ceding rhc uddress.

Hurry: This will confirm our telephone conversation of yesterday concerning the young German mining engineers program sponsored by the Foreign Operations Administration, successor organization to the Mutual Security Agency. Messrs. Fritz Claes and Heinz Hess uere selected for this program on the basis of their distinguished post graduate training work by the German mining industr;r. Resumes of their experience are enclosed for your information. It would be appreciated if they could stay with your CO,!lpany for approxilnately six i-reeks. The program contenplated for these engineers is for each one to spend approximately six months in the United States trairu.ng in the deep shaft coal or ore mines, the bituminous fields and the anthracite regions. These engineers should not be considered as uorkers but rather as observers and any training made available should in no way conflict with the State statutes under uhich yoirr co111pa.,"iy is operating nor uith any agree.Jent e:dsting between your company and a labor organization. The FOA will arrange for all adninistrative details during the participants' stay in the United States, including transportation, health and accident insurance coverage, and other particulars which normally arise during the course of a program such as this. A daily maintenance allm-rance, cormnensurate uith the norlilal living costs of the area in uhich they will be located, will be paid directly by this Administration. They have been cleared by the appropriate agencies for security purposes permitting access to unclassified operations and material only. Should you have any questions concerning the program, please contact me. For your convenience I may be reached by telephone at Sterling J-6400, extension 2648.

Proposed visit to your Rook Springs, Wyoming Mine Safety Operations. First of all , our apologies to you for not havi ng writ­ ten you before this dateo Secondly, we have several good reasons and are not offering excuses other than to say that with limi ted time to prepare the program and know ing that Mr. Fritz A. Graf, a member of this group , and a former employe of yours i n 1931-2, had a1ready informed you of their wishes, we need not do so be­ fore their arrival o I n case you have not received a copy of the quickly prepared Program-Itinerary of travel we are now sending you a copy autographed by mysel f, and I am sure Mr. Graf and other members of their team will be glad to do l ikewise. The names of the four teen (14) men on this team are shown on a front meet of the program wi th their home addresses and affiliations there. All of these men have been investigated and cleared as we must do all such vi si tors on MSA snonsored study projects to satisfy both the State Department and the De­ partment of Defense. This does not mean that they are enti tled to receive any restricted information or to be shown any restrict­ ed areas that an ordinary citizen of the USA could not have at the present time. We feel certain that you Will find all of these men responsible and serious about the best interests of Western Germany and all NATO countries. At the top of page 12 of the program you see what we took the l iberty of including, without your permissi on but with a strong feeling that you wouJ.d not feel obligated in any way and wouJ.d want it that way. We hope that we have made ourselves clear but i f not 1t will be a pleasure to explain further i f we have the pleasure of meeting wi th you. There is a possibility that your mines will not be operating on Saturday but that shoUld not matter to this group and is the only time open at the moment . We are leaving tomorrow for the South and then to D en­ ver. Would you be so kind as to send your reply to my office here in Washington with a copy to me at either the hotel i n Birmingham 1 Alabama or the Denver, ColoTado address, depending upon the date of reply, so I may know your wishes i n this mat­ ter. Our fullest understanding and cooperation will be yours for what ever you wish in the we:y of meeting withMr . Graf and his friends, around the dates and times of travel indi cated i n �/ the program for obvious reasons of reservat ions, etc .

On the Friday, D ecember 12 program , a st atement � made that they propo se to vi sit other mine s in this area. Please advi s e which mines you have made arrangement s for. On Saturday , Dec ember 13 , it i s stated that arrangement s have been made by Region IV to visit the Union Pacific Co al mines at Rock Springs, Wyoming. Coal mine s seldom wo rk on Saturday , and it is doubt ful if any but a few offic ial s will be aro und on Saturday and vi sitors cert ainly will no t be welcome by them on that date . It i s sug gested that the pro gram be rearranged if Ro ck Springe i s to pe included on the 11 st .
