Livingston : I read with a g reat deal of interest the recom- mendation ~ made by the several committees in the Sigma Tau Epsilon organization , and I think a copy of their reco ~mendations should be g iven to the U. M.\L of A. safety committee at each district, as l..-·e ll as discussing the different reco mmendations at your safety meetings. �SIGMa TAU EPSILON SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AS OF SEPTEMBER 15, 1946 Committee No. 2 We, Committee No. 2, recommend there should be r.i.ore caution around cars. We recommend that lar ge chunks of coal on top of cars be taken care of or taken off before leaving loader point. We also think that more attention should be paid to foot wear. John V, Knoll George Blacker hrthur Munn J. Hearne Committee No. 3 Resolutions and recommendations of Committee No. 3. In order to prevent injuries caused by falls of rock or coal in tL~bered places, we recof:lF.lend· that the men be instructed b~r the supervisor in charge to always sound roof before knocking out any props. 11fuen loose roof is found supported by props which have to be moved either additional props or crossbars are to be set before knockint; or moving those props. While timbering or crossbarring extremely bad roof, men enBaged in tho.t type of work must be instructed by the supervisor in charge to alv1a~rs use safety props. Ernest Besso John Cukale Joe Kosovich Frank Subic Sam Canestrini Cerami t tee No. 4 1'le, Committee No. 4, recoilll?lend that in handling and moving timber and rails, that the supervisory force continue to stress the need of the men keeping their minds on what they are doing at the moment, keeping their fingers and toes in the clear, When the handles of wrenches are no:t long enough to get leverage to tighten the bolts or clamps, we would recommend that longer �. t'landles be welded on to the wrench. ~'le would also have men who &re holding jackpipes for the machine man to continue holding the pipe until it is tight. Clyde Rock James Law Joe Salvatico Andrew Spence Committee No. 5 We, Committee No. 5, considered the eye injuries. t·/e feel that the injuries reported, could be avoided some by the worYJnan being a little more careful in handling material and by wearing hi s ?,O!:;gl es closer to his eyes except where men are sharpening drill bits . i,,r.---. r eccrrun~nc. that t},ey use enclosed goggles.

We recorru:1end that men disconnect light line, remove trolley pole cff wire and when pulling machine cable pull below splice or replace with new cable. A.

He has suggested that Tuiro Osborne of Ca~per represent ing : the Standard in such matter, should be here and I have asked him to arrange that also. He also promised to give me a list of other persons mom he would suggest sho·.1ld a. ttend. When I have received same, I wi 11 give the matter further consideration. Presumably you and Mr. McAuliffe have given consideration to having a representative of the labor organizations here and concluied that it would not be wise. Judge Lacey l::as suggested that we have al- ways been in agreement with the labor organizations, a situation which has been very helpful in getting compensation legislation through the Legislature. I suggest this so you and 1u-. McAuliffe may consider whether it would be advisable to have Jimmy Morgan and Mr. Fox at the conference.

Harrington Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Sir: In reference to the voucher of $750.00 authorized to be paid to John Petrovich as a gratuity: Mr. McAuli ffe understands the circumstances under which this voucher is autho r ized. It seems to me the situation is a delicate one and t hat a general release might or might not be deemed advisable. We are to stipulate $750.00 by way of compensation is to be awarded, and we believe that that award is all that the workman is entitled to under the law, yet it is proposed to give him $750.00 more, and not to continue him in our employ. A situation of this sort to my mind should be carefully considered lest at some future time our own act in the premises may be construed as recognizing a condition bordering upon permanent total disability. Of course I disclaim any such thought. Still, it seems to r.ie that it would be wise to have Mr. McAuliffe consider the situation and to decide the language to be employed in draVIing the voucher, and whether or not some form of contract in the shape of a "general release" might be deemed advisable . • TST:li �Form 2191 / UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM TELEGRAM Time Filed _ _ _ _ _ M I ~ J' // (Zz;.,___~ l OR SI K o~aha Aug 26 ,. l83Z GBP Rcck2.pl'i~s B-lOO s~tiafaotory settle on basis fifty per cent for leg t hru com~ens~ t ion fund xer.r.ainin.., fifty peroent gre.tuity b oth pr efer ably on wont hly payw.ent basiia . if necessary 1uake full oe.sh settlei:1ent M- 88 El, CA 1044 ~:;. n,Eii5aooM �Form2191 c.s.

This will not Cause any less absenteeism. In fact, it is becoming difficult for th® miners to spend their money, therefore, they are taking life easy and loosing a great deal of time. The Union Pacific Coal Company produced 6,300,822 tons of coal last year. We were hopeful of producing approximately 7,000,000 tons of coal this year. How­ ever, with the shortage of labor, which amounts to approximately 20 per cent together with another 20 per cent average absenteeism, it appears that we will be lucly if we hold our own and produce as much coal in 1945 as we did in 1944® However, we expect to carry on. The war news indicates that the fighting will probably be ended in the near future in Europe with a job .in the Pacific left to be picked up. We are thankful for the good news and to see the finish. However, the Pacific may take some time yet. The loss of our President, Franklin D, Roosevelt, is a great blow not only to this country but to all civilized nations, and while we hope that it rH 11 not have any effect on the prosecution of the war, it is bound to have its effect on this country and may, of course, have its effect on all Allied countries. You have no doubt heard our present President Trumaa analyzed by news analysts, Uhile we have every confidence in his ability, we realize that he does not have the experience and knowledge of war affairs that President Roosevelt had. However, this will soon become history and be only one of the events in the march of time. X- �Mro Jo So Sproston 2 April 16, 1945 Our particular job, of course, is to fuel the Union Pacific Railroad which had more business last week than ary week in its previous history, hauling war supplies to the Pacific Coasts We expect this to continue for some time.

What would have been better would be a visit in the Spring or Autumn when I could have seen some of the country side and also real cow boys. Even so I had a real thrill in my short stay with you and I can truthfully say that I had more satisfaction & enjoyment at Rock Springs than I did any where else.

Kansas City was very like our Manchester rather rough and full of shoppers, but it near Xmas time and everybody seemed anxious to spend money. I quite enjoyed my stay at Mcalister and Mr. Puterbough was most charming. Xmas was spent in Columbus, not a very nice place, in fact very dirty, but then I think my impressions were wrongly coloured as I was at that festive season thinking of home. It was the first Xmas I have been away from home & family since I was married. It was at Columbus that I started to run into your American winter, there was plenty of snow and freezing hard. Not so bad as when I arrived in Pittsburg, I got snowed up for a week as transport was very disorganized. What impressed me of the severity of the cold was the fact that the fast flowing rivers were frozen . solid, an unusual thing I believe and one that portends floods0 I now read in the papers that the floods are serious and that the iron works are affected. When I left Pittsburgh I flew to Washington and had a another �- 3 - vaew of that city from the air. Quite a good thing it saved me so much walking round the city.

I have thought of you often since your visit. It is very nice of you to say the kind things about myself and The Union Pacific Coal Company. There are tines vzhen we are not too proud of some of our accomplishments. Wo did, however, wind up with a very good year last yoarj oven with the large labor turnover, absenteeism, etc., we produced 6,300,822 tons of coal. Wo produced 612,000 tons of coal for tiic month of January tliis year, however, we are slacking down on demand at this time and are not producing on Sundays. I can inagina some of yo<ir difficulties and experiences in attempt­ ing to work a Joy machine with shuttle car on steep pitches. No doubt you people will prove the Duckbill sooner or later and probably adopt a standard method of mining which will, lend itself to mechanical loading. The war news sounds better at this time and again we are all getting in on optimistic mood; however, I am afraid thoir are some long unhappy moments ahead before we settle back to a normal life. Messrs, hurray, Livingston, Knill and Sharrer send their regards and speak of joa as the most promising "Johnnie Bull” who has visited this property for sone time; in fact ry offer still holds good if you would like to come to this country and be a Hine Foreman.

Your figures in regard to output and labour force for last year are very rood indeed, especially when one considers the remarkable turnover of labour you have experienced. It is most interesting to me that you should be able to train so many new mon end yet maintain such a high efficiency. Cur labour position here has been most difficult during the war years as we leave had little intake of suitable manpower and our wastage has been at a fairly high level. Our intake of labour has for the most part been composed of "Devin" Boys, tlia.t is, youths of military age who, on being called up for the forces were balloted to the Coal Fines instead. naturally many of these youths have no interest in coal­ mining and in many cases have a bad influence on other workers.

V.’e produced a total of 6,300,822 tons of coal last year with approximately 2,800 total employes on the pay roll. Our labor turnover was very high. In fact, to maintain 2,800 employes during the year it was necessary to employ approximately 3,800 men, which, you will realise, lowered cur efficiency when, being forced to train this number of man, some of them entirely inexperienced^ and I might say many did not desire to do any work of any kind around the coal mineso We are not attempting to develop any new methods or add new types of machines to our operations at this time, being content to carry on with our present method of mining and present type of machines until after the war at which time we hope to make further improvements both in mining practices and mechanical mining.

We appreciate your many difficulties and would be glad to give any information at any time you think it would be helpful. The war news at this time sound promising. However, with the setback late last year, the people in this country are rather hesitant to become too optimistic.

When Mr. Buchanan and I left you in Rock Springs, I promised to write giving information regarding our progress with American methods of mining. I am now implementing that promise but I wish first of all to again thank you and all your staff for the very great hospitality with which you received us. The visit to The Union Pacific Coal Company will long be remembered by me and I hope that it will again be possible to visit you at some later date. I was very pleased to hear of your appointment as Chairs man of the Board and was somewhat sorry to learn that Mr. George Pryde had retired from service. On the other hand, I wish to congratulate Mr. I. N. Bayless on his well merited promotion. My company has now started a very intense programme of mechanisation and modernisation, and it may interest you to know that we are producing 25% of the coal won by American methods and machinery in this country. Most of this coal is mined by Duck­ bills and we have adopted, as standard practice, the methods carried out by The Union Pacific Coal Company. In this respect we are greatly indebted to you for all the valuable information and advice given us during visits. The best results we have been able to attain so far are 4-5 tons per person employed to the main haulage, but as foremen and men become more proficient, we are hopeful that greatly improved results will accrue. One Interesting point has emerged in that we have been able to obtain in selected subjects, practically 100% extraction with Duckbills at depths approximating 2,000 feet. At present we are developing what we expect to be the first all American mine in this country. On the surface a very simple tipple has been laid out with haulage, electrical equipment, office, ambulance room and lamp room housed under one roof. The coal from underground in two ton capacity drop bottom cars of our own design and manufacture is emptied into storage hoppers on the �- 2 - surface, from which it is removed by motor -truck to a nearby screening plant. Only two men are employed above ground, exclud­ ing truck drivers. Underground all slope haulage is by direct rope with locomotive haulage on the level and a 42” track gauge. American room and pillar methods of complete extraction are employed at the face and on full production it is expected that 80/90 men overall will produce an output of 500 tons per day. Four similar mines are in course of preparation. In addition to the above, we are contemplating recon­ struction of many of our older collieries with the introduction of . broad track gauge, large cars, locomotive haulage on the level, and direct rope haulage on all slopes. The method of working proposed throughout is by Duckbill or hand-filling onto chain conveyors. The above brief outline will give you an indication of hotiT we are progressing and of how much we owe to your company for the advice and help rendered us.

Your two officials, I think, got a good deal of benefit from the visit as they seemed to lenow what they were looking for and apparently are two very capable men. We should have liked to have them stay longer at our property, but their itinerary was fixed for them and we disliked to change it. They made full use of the time they were with us, and we, of course, had a nice visit with them regard^ ing the conditions in Scotland at the present time particularly at the properties of your company. The automatic Duckbill, with shaking conveyors, I am sure will work out very well in some of your work. Joy machines are good for sinking slopes of limited dip, say, up to 10 degrees. The Joy can also be used to drive entries where you can drive at least three places simultaneously. The only thing, of course, with mechanical loading is to keep the loader busy. We had a fine meeting with the Rock Springs Chapter of the A.I.M.E. here, and we included quite a number of business men here to have dinner with us in the evening. The Rock Springs Canadian Legion had a fine party on Wednesday evening which we all enjoyed. It was fine that Mr. McAuliffe could be present during the entire visit. He is still very active and a remarkable man. During the years I have been associated with him, I have become more and more attached to him. �Dr. William Reid - 2 - April 15, 1944 I have recently written to a friend of mine, Captain S. J. Giovale, who is with the American Medical Corps somewhere in Britain,, I have asked him, if he is in the vicinity of your home, to call upon you. Before he joined the Army, he was a doctor at one of our mining districts. we are still having the same difficulty with shortage of men and large labor turnover, plus absenteeism,. Our experience is very similar to your own with the absenteeism growing in direct proportion to increases in wages and earnings. I am sure you will have a great meeting with Messrs. Buchanan and King upon their return. Give ny regards to them, Mr. Carlow, and your father, and I hope to write to them sometime before long. Sincerely yourp. Original Signed: GEORGE B.

I hope you enjoyed the remainder of your visit in America after leaving Rock Springs. I derived a great deal of personal pleasure in meeting both you and Hr. King because you talk ry language and come from very near my old home. I shall not soon forget the fine visit we had. It would be entirely all right for you to write me anytime either you or Mr. King have a problem you do not fully understand, and I shall be only too glad to answer anything you may ask, giving you any information I can. We of The Union Pacific Coal Company family are e:±remely interested in the developments going on in your mines with the adaptation of the mechanical loading. I shall do everything possible to help you. Weather has warmed up somewhat, but we have had an esctremely long, cold winter and are looking forward to warmer weather.

Dear Mr. Pryde, The article in Saturday’s Rocket stating that Mr. King and Mr. Buchanan of the Fife Coal Company, Scotland, would be visitors in Rock Springs, set the Ladies Social Club of the Canadian Legion to wondering if it would be a nresumption on their part to tressnass on the prerogatives of the Union Pacific Coal Company (hosts to these executives during their stay here) to organize a British concert at which both gentlemen would be asked to say a few words, and the ladies have asked me to approach you for your advice and to request that you use your influence in this regard. With this in mind I called your office on Saturday and was informed that you were out of town and would not return until Monday Mrs. Outsen referred me to Mr. Bayless to whom I outlined the thought of the ladies. Mr. Bayless was very co-operative and thought that both Mr. King and Mr. Buchanan would be in Rock Springs over Wednes­ day nqight, and suggested that the Ladies club make tentative nlans and contact your office on Monday for your opinion as to what might be done, and when. The Ladies Club have completed tentative plans which roughly have the following outline: That a British concert be held in the Congregational Church on Wednesday evening at 8 PM. (Concert be similiar in structure to the Burns’ concert recently held in Rock Springs). That admission be free and the public invited. That a cup of tea be served after the concert. That Mr. King and Mr. Buchanan be asked to tell a little some­ thing about ”0ur Ain Folk” in their struggle against the Germans. That Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Pryde be asked to honour the concert by their nresence on the platform. That the concert-chairman arrange his continuity to suit the convenience of the distinguished guests, in the event they can stay for part of the programme only. T would greatly appreciate a telephone call at 100 at your convenience on Monday so that I can relay your thought to the ladies. Yours very truly, Alexander Braes. �THE DAILY ROCKET March 11, 1%4 W@ ©@ffi iiWffl 7© 111 1W Two executives of The Fife Coal company, one of the major coal producing companies in Scotland, will arrive in Rock Springs next Monday to study operations of The Union Pacific Coal company mines here.

Zone 2 DENVER TELEPHONE TABOR 5090 March 7, 1944 Mr. George B. Pryde, Vice President Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Mr. Pryde: I just had a phone call'from Mr. Green regarding your friends, Mr,. H. R. King and Mr. G. R. Buchanan, .who are over here from England looking over mechanical" loading for the Fife Coal Company. Mr. Green met them at the station in Chicago Sunday morn­ ing and put them up at the South Shore Country Club Sun­ day. They spent Monday going through our factory and were very much impressed by its size and the quantity of equipment we are turning out and by the fact that we make all of our own equipment, Including motors. They had a schedule laid out that contemplated visiting a number of larger mines using mobile equipment. However, they told Mr. Green they were primarily interested in Shaker Conveyors with Duckbills as they felt this equip­ ment was the only loading device they could employ satis­ factorily in their properties. Because of this, Mr. Green changed their schedule so they will have ample opportunity to see what they by all means should look at. Today they are at the Bugos-White Coal Company at Gilles­ pie, Illinois, which mine uses all Shaker Conveyors, dis­ charging onto belts. Tomorrow they will visit the Shear Coal and Coke Company at Canton, Illinois, which is also a Duckbill mine. On Thursday they will go to Harrisburg, Illinois and look over a Joy loader installation which the Joy Company is anxious for them to see. Thursday night one of our men, Mr. Hall, will meet them at Harrisburg and drive them to Madisonville, Kentucky where they will see further Shaker Conveyor installations in low coal. They will return to Chicago Sunday morning and Mr. Green will again meet them at the train and put them up for the day at the South Shore Country Club, subsequently putting them on the train for Rock Springs Sunday night. They will arrive at Green River Monday afternoon in accordance with the instructions they have passed on to you. �March 7, 1944 Sheet #2 Mr. George B. Pryde They at first planned on spending only Monday afternoon and Tuesday at Rock Springs, proceeding to Utah Tuesday night. Mr. Green has told them that Rock Springs and the Union Pacific Coal Company offer the very best possible chance for them to see and learn the best application of Shaking Conveyors and has prevailed upon them to spend more time than originally planned in Rock Springs. We don't know how long they will stay in Rock Springs but they surely should stay there several days and I feel sure that after talking with you they will be agreeable to spending more time with you and your very fine organization. I know you will urge them to do this. From Rock Springs they will visit Utah and I .am today mak­ ing arrangements with Dave Bryson to take them under his wing. I would like to have them see Bryson's Conveyor work at Sunnyside and if they are going to look at cater­ pillar mounted loading equipment I also think they should see Clear Creek which is a track mounted loader mine. Clear Creek is doing by far the best job with mobile loading equipment of any mine in Utah. Mr. Green and, I believe, Mir. McAuliffe are both of the opinion that Messrs. Buchanan and King would be more effect ively sold on the use of Shaker Conveyors and Duckbills if I, or in fact any Goodman man, were not to tag- around with them at Rock Springs. For this reason it is felt that it would be better if I did not meet them at Rock Springs, at least until they are ready to leave. I do think I should take them to Utah if they go there because I know that un­ less they go to the right people there they could leave Utah with a lot of bad information. This is primarily why I want Dave Bryson to give them the true picture of the Utah situation. I think it would be very dangerous to turn them loose in a strange country to make a quick survey of mining in Utah without knowing they are getting good authen tic information. I want to thank you for your extreme kindness in inviting me to be with these people at your properties. I believe that Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Green have the right slant on it and that it is best that I stay away from Rock Springs.

Mr Pryde 410-05 December 16, 1943 Mr. Donald Eindson The Ashing-ton Coal Gomoany Limited Ashington, Northumberland, England - Dear Mr. Eindson: Your letter of November S2 arrived yesterday and I hasten to make renly. First, under separate cover I am sending you a copy of our February and December, 1943, Employes Magazines. On page 53 of the February issue you will find ail of the information for the five years requested, and on page 62 you will find the rules governing our safety awards for 1943. In the December number, page 50?,, you will find our overall safety record, 96,724. man­ hours. per lost time accident for the first 10 months, against 148,433 for the same neriod in 1942, and 117,097- for the year 1942. Answering your questions in the order asked; the "vital principle1' governing our program was the prise appeal, which not only meant getting something, but in addition human nature is so constituted that it is always interested in a gambling enterprise.. In ray opinion, the chance of winning a prize does enter into the conduct of the individual while"work­ ing in and about the mines. I am definitely certain that the desire to avoid loss of life, limb, or working time ‘is not upper­ most in.the minds of the great majority. You. will observe, by reading the Run of the Mine articles in the December magazine, where our labor situation has gone. I look on Mr. Lewis as a menace to war production; but the fact remains that he has the entire Washington hierarchy afraid of him. So far we have been faced with a mild winter, but with two or three weeks of severe western winter weather, or even throughout the east, we will have a real coal famine. I enclose a little booklet showing the measure of wages we are paying under the’ "portal to portal" agreement, effective �Mr. Donald Hindson 12/16/45 November 15. During the last two or three days we have had some fifty men in a new mine on strike against their own agreement. The wages paid are perfectly ridiculous, three or four hundred men refusing to work the first four days in order to qualify for the higher wages on Friday and Saturday. If the measure of government interference in the conduct of our coal mining industry expands such further, we will have complete chaos. What we should have is an amendment to the laws, insuring full Justice to all 'workers, fixing at the same time the measure of responsibility on their part toward the consuming public. I think I know Mr. Wheeler of the Joy Company; at least 1 know of him. I understand he is a very good man. The Duckbill was developed and patented on our property, thereafter sold to the Goodman Manufacturing Company of Chicago. Your story of near misses is most interesting. I hope your son will return in good shape and that I will have the privilege of meeting you when the war is over, as I fully intend to run across for one more ‘’look see'5, as our old Chinamen would say. Very cordially yours, Cdsteifa^-5 WGHNEMgAUUFFE RECEIVED v1GE-PRESID^T oF£RATION_S__ �copy THE ASHINGTON COAL COMPANY LIMITED Colliery Office, Ashington, Northumberland. Nov. 22nd, 1943 Dear Mr. McAuliffe: The time has come for me to introduce myself as Agent for this group of collieries. You have occasionally heard from and written to our Mr. Docherty, Safety Office. Now it is my turn. First - I write at home out in the country at 8:30 p^m., on a damp November night by the side of a decent fire spite of fuel shortage It is here I do my quiet thinking and construc­ tive work or plans - no doubt it is in the operations and con­ tacts where life pulsates that the real valuable work is done as we cannot live to ourselves, we’ve got to get amongst people. I read your last Magazine with much interest - that in which you became an "old timer". Good fortune to you and your grand efforts. We admire you here - one day I’d like to meet you. We have been restudying your prize safety scheme - wonder­ ing what is the VITAL PRINCIPLE which gets there. Is it interest aroused through the money or prize appeal; is it interest produc­ ing better workmanship, or just what is it in your considered opinion? Do you exclude attendance as a qualification and if so, why? Doesn't the man who gets in the greatest attendance run the greatest risk, i.e., time exposure, or is this offset by the fact that he is generally a better workman all round? We have not been successful with a similar scheme and naturally wonder why. Since the war our rate has rocketted to 50$ over prewar and this is general over here. Are you feeling the blast now and to what extent? We have over here a Mr. Wheeler of "Joy, Inc." advising on installations of American equipment, and so we become more closely allied in thought and deed. We, ourselves, are installing duckbills in a 4'-0" seam with a very soft roof where present output is approximately 1.75 tons per underground shift. Small compared with your large figures. Labour problems are many and difficult in these times, but at heart the men are sound, more especially as individuals. �- 2 - In the mass they act unreasonably at ’times and quickly react to news. Your strikes soon infect our men - to what extent do yours reciprocate? Our Essential Works Order, guaranteeing a week’s pay and limiting management's disciplinary actions has upset morale greatly. The men are not ready for such a leap forward and in war times it misses the mark badly. In effect the men seem to say there is money about when a war has to be fought and here the government shows how we can get something for nothing and we will make the most of it. And they do. One wonders at times why output has not fallen even more. Still it is good to be helping in these mighty times, and one would not have it easy. The harder the game the more enjoyable it becomes. My younger boy is in the Army, having broken his Cambridge studies. The elder is reserved in mining. I did my bit in the last, being.a young engineer in the Field Corps. Whilst, as I said earlier, we live out in the country, we have had our share of "near misses" all round - about 15 bombs in all - one leaving a hole 70' across and 40' deep not far from the house. Probably a nearby searchlight has been the attraction. Then we had 57 panes blown in - and out - and later I saw the Hun come in and drop a direct hit on one of our colliery fan houses - complete destruction. This was a Saturday evening and we started up Monday morning with a standby fan and holes and gaps all over the place patched up. Lately we have been unmolested. Well now I've finished for the present and hope to hear from you in due course. Meantime may I say thank you for helpful letters and information you have personally sent from time to time. Congratulations upon becoming an old timer and to your good work. Yours truly, /s/ Donald Hindson RECEIVED DEC 18 1243 VICE-PRESHjiwT OPERATIONS ����ASHDTGTOJ' COAL C0UE&.KY LTD. EG ZE.
