Business men are the most influential class in !he country. They never had so much influence in any ot~er.country as they have here, and never so ~-u~h mfluence here as they have now. Most poht1c1ans do not disregard what business men want. They may disregard what business men say they :vant, bu~ they seldom disregard what they know the business men actually -do want. And the main reason why we have so much government in business is that the politicians give business men what they actually want. Rodney A. Elward, a Kansas farmer, in an article in Nation's Business for July, commented upon the way "business men shudder at the word socialist," and said: "Paternalistic schemes of government are agitated, not at farmers' meetings, but in business men's organizations. I have heard more socialism preached at meetings of commercial bodies than in socialistic gatherings." Mr. Elward and· I have spent our lives in different fields, but we · have come to the same conclusion. • • Probably no statem_ent~ in Herbert H~over's speech accepting nommat10n for the Presidency were more generally endorsed by business men than these: "It is the duty of the Government to avoid regulation as long as equal o~po~tunity_ to all citizens is not invaded and pubhc ngh_ts vb10l~ted. The Government_ sh~uld _n_ot en~age m usmess in competition with its citizens.

It has been constantly asserted that the. Federal _Government has built larger and more expen:'1ve post office buildings than private compames would have built to handle the same amount of business, and that the Federal Govern~nent has was~ed large amounts in "improving" waterways which never could be made navigable for a row boat. But did anybody ever hear of a business man opposing the expenditure by the Federal Government of $200,000 upon a building or anything else in his own community ,vhen $100,000 would have been sufficient, or even too much? Reo-ardless of the merits of the Boulder Dam controversy, for example, is it not significant th~t thouo-h there is much opposition to it from business i:, men in other parts of the country, ~here is no perceptible opposition from the. busme~s men of Los Angeles and the surroundmg territory? · The expenditures on highways within recent have been enormous.

Th_e re is only a handful of theoretical socialists this country. Extremely fe w of our business· men are theoretical socialists. But that is no rea~on why we should comfort ourselves with the belief that socialistic policies will make no progress, especially if we have only to look a round us to_ see that they are making progress. Our danger 1s not from the theoretical socialist but from the practical socialist. ' 111 The theoretical socialist favors public ownership and management of all the means of production, distribution and exchange of wealth. He is not dangerous because he cannot get enough people to agree with him. He takes in too much territory. Nobody wants any of his own territory taken in. Some Socialists Are Dangerous A practical socialist is a man who will favor almost any form of governmental action, however socialistic, which he believes will benefit him. Now the woods are full of practical socialists; and they are dangerous because there are so many of them, and because, unlike the theoretical socialists, they get something done. You canno·t get many people to favor government regulation or ownership of all business, but you can always get a gr~_at many to fa":or almost any kind of govern~ent interference ~1th almost any one kind of busmess. Hence while the general doctrine of socialism makes almost no progress in this country, practical socialism grows [5] �~P.ac~ because Join in inc·1h• so 111any b . to" th· • ng the g usiness ,.,, IS• or th t I . overn1u •lien co not happ a <Ind of bu . ent to actio i_1s~antJy ''() en to be engageds1ness in Whic~~ ~1h1111ica1 • ne of the a• ey do With governmen 6,~eat,est difficult' of acceptance }, s~1d Mr. Boo ies. of busine .

The result is; in effect, that the public i pay ing part of the premiums for workmen's comp ensation insurance in West Virginia, and t ha t taxes in the state are thereby made higher than they otherwise would be. F ine examples of the inconsistency of many business men who profess to be opposed to "government in business" are afforded in the field of transportation. The railway came after the waterway and the highway, but for almost a hundred years has been our principal carrier of commerce. Some say the 9wnership and operation of ~ailroads is prope-rly ~ . governm 7nt f~nctwn. Whether it is or not, 1t 1s a funct10n \Vh1ch our Government does not perform. Our busmess men are mainly responsible for this. They always have opposed govern·m ent ownership of railways. After two years of government ~anagement !he railways were returned to p~1vate <;>Pe.ration mainly because an ove~whelmmg ma;onty of business men demanded 1t. As business men favor private management they might rea_sonablf be expect_ed to favor co~ditions conducive to 1ts success, a_nd the condr• tions es senti"al . to the successful private manageI ment of railroads are mu~h the same as t 10sef • J to successful pnvate management o essen t ia any business. v· . ..

Recently, however, Congress, with the approval of business men, especiallr t~ose_ of the Mississippi -Valley, trebled the cap1tahzat1011 of the Government's corporation in order that it might correspondingly enlarge its service.

What Makes a Failure? There are still other questions that may be asked of business men who are backing government ownership and operation of the barge line. What evidence will be required to show that it is a failure? What will be done with it if it is a failure? No answer ever has been made to these questions by either the business men or the politicians who have got the Government to engage in transportation. If the measure ·of success or failure is to be merely the freight rates charge~, and not the total capital and operating costs mcurred as c?mpared with the service rendered, then plamly the Government may incur heavy !osses to. be paid from taxes without the <;xpenm:n_t b~1~1g held a failure. , Furthermore, with munt~1paltt1es throughout the Mississippi Valley inves_tmg substantial amounts of public money m water t!JJ I I I [ f �terminals, it seems certain h measured by ordinary t <:t even though st d d h • economic and bus· ' an ar s, t _e experiment could b ~ness demonstrated to be a f .1 . e conclusively tremely difficult to o-et ~t~ it woul~ be exd d t:. arge service aban one ' or even to prevent it from b • tended. emg exG ove~nm~nt. ownership and operation of a barge l11~e is Just as -~ocialistic as government ownership and operation of steamships on the ocean, although business 1:1-en are trying to get the_ Govern_ment to ?ell its_ ocean steamships w hile favoring extension of its barge line operation s.

Of course, I make no pretense of being an expert upon this subject. All the statements made ill my article were based upon information given in a memorandum which was prepared for me by a man who bears the reputation of being an expert regarding insurance matters. I am very sorry if the statement made by me was misleading, but I feel sure that it did 1ittle harm. I am glad you enjoyed reading my article. Yours very sincerely, sod-s -- Inc:. ,.

Among her ctivities that involve danger to rnanY a ·f1 e an d limb are the extra-hazardous l occuPa tions of building and road con.on excavation work, and lumberstruc ti ' a jnu, 0 1 Visitors to this state have comrnented with surprise upon the lack of 1 a modern state program for dealing with occupational accidents. Florida increasingly needs accident compensatiox;t, which fifteen years' ex perience in America has demonstrated to be beneficial alike to employers, employees, and the whole community; Employers as well as safety experts and public officials throughout the country have given eloquent testimony to the fact that workmen's compensation laws, in addition to providing reasonable and certain care for injured workers and their dependents, have proved a most effective stimulus to Accident Prevention.

Coi::pt:n!J !io:i 1..:1·"'·• wit~ Sratc Fun c:J WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAWS Florida is a black spot on the Workmen's Compensation Map. In addition to the forty-three state laws shown on this map, Haw aii and Porto Rico, and the federal government for its own employees, have compensation laws. And Congress has just enacted a federal accident compensation law covering harbor workers in all states who are injured while at work on board a vessel. Every Canadian province is covered by such legislation, and the countries of South America are rapidly falling into line. Will Florida act now, and remove the black spot that projects from the map so conspicuously? at a work accident means to e Wage-earner's family and to the COlJUnunity .th .

"Eventually he may go to the county hospital for a long period of time, and his wife will be taken care of by the ,Associated Charities, or will undertake work beyond her strength and in turn become ill. "The employer has to break a new man into the work. "The community, friends or relatives have to support the family, and the man is inefficiently and haphazardly taken care of because of lack of organized social endeavor to meet the problem presented." • -· �Costly "Damage Suit" System Stilll Exists in Florida N FLORIDA, under the antiquated system of employer's liability, both employer and em" ployee are at the mercy of law suits. When an industrial accident occurs, the employer may have to pay - in addition to the expense of a trial - a big sum of money for damages; the injured employee who sues his employer gets practically nothing; even when he wins. he must divide what he gets with his lawyer.

It was demonstrated that the doctrine of employers' liability is unsuited to modern conditions of employment; that industry is now 80 complex and highly organized that the causes of accidents have become obscure and difficult fo identify. As a result, r eports show that in a substantial ¼ r': .,....- ~ -~'.:.. ~-=-~, number of cas_e s no recovery whatever is possi- ,~;,', .I ble and in a still larger proportion, the damages \ awarded are negligible. Occasionally, we hear of large awards being made after a case has dragged through the courts for years during which time the family has been left destitute. But even in a successful suit, court costs and attorney's fees sometimes ranging as high as 50 per cent of the sum granted consume a sub• stantial part of the money awarded. M ISSOURI employers and wageeamers, through their state organizations, actively supported the workmen's compensation law which was recently ratified by popular vote. I~ the campaign, they widely distributed the above cartoon warning the voters not to be tricked by a "shell game" counter proposition put forward by a certain class of "damage suit" lawyers. I~ its campaign literature the Missoun employers' association declared that the workmen's compensation law "will boost Missouri" and that it "will en<:,ourage the building here of new factories which are now being located in states having workmen's compensation laws." Thanks to general support of the plan Missouri is no longer a black spot on the compensation map. Will Florida now do as well? Finally, a law suit stirs up hard; feeling be• tween the worker and his ~mployer. Harmful to the Community The present system in Florida assumes that the workman accepts the . risks of his employ• ment and gives him the right to sue, ~nd to col• lect a sum as damages for the injury received, only if his employer is negligent. Forty-three states have already adopted workmen's compensation laws because theY have come. to recognize that the law of ein· ployer's liability is inherently unfitted to inod· em indusbial conditions, grossly unfair to tbe worker, vexatious and sometimes very co5tly to the employer, and harmful to the coJ11• munity. �How Florida Call1l lighten the Burden p.MJL!ES that are plunged into 't tion as a result of a work dest1 u . . t that kills or disables the breadacciden ust be ass1ste • d .

If the state has no compensation law a heavy burden of relief is thrown upon public and private charity, and the community shares this burden.

HE time is ripe for Florida to join the other forward-looking states in adopting a Workmen's Accident Compensation law. The great strides that Florida is makingindustrially as well as in street and highway a nd b uilding construction - is attracting nationwide attention. Greater production and construction mean more accidents, and call for the modern and scientific remedy. Employers' liability, with iis long-drawn-out, costly and· uncertain damage suits, is an unjust and outgrown system. Workmen's compensation - the modern plan - provides adequate and certain payments on a weekly basis at the time they are most needed. lll!: furnishes the necessary stimulus ,to safety work through which accidents are prevented. it lessens the community burden of charitable relief. "A workmen's compensation law is one of the means by which men judge the social status of a state." Florida has already enacted legislation for the rehabilitation and retraining of industrial cripples. This legislation, which is supplementary to workmen's compensation, is in effect in forty states. Having taken this forward step, why should Florida delay any longer in adopting a workmen's compensation law? There is an additional - and a new - reason why the need for action by Florida at this time is more than ever urgenL On March 4, Congress enacted a law ext~nding fed· eral accident compensation to local harbor workers injured on board a vessel at the dock, The harbor workers thus covered include not only longshoremen who load and unload vessels but also ship repairmen and others - no less than twenty-two different crafts. The new federal law, effective July 1, 192 7, applies to all states including Florida, But in Florida - unless the legislature promptly adopts supplementary legislation - these same employees, if disabled or killed while working on shore, have no recourse except suits for damages against their employers with "the laws delays" and the expenses and uncertainty and friction of litigation. Now that workmen's compensation is for the first time to be in operation in Florida covering a large number of hazardous employmen.b, isn't it timely an,d fair to all other employers and their employees to adopt a reasonable state workmen's compensation law?

Employees engaged in building construction and woodworkin g p lan ts, painters, electricians, drivers and elevator operators, are amo ng those workers in extra-hazardous occupations in the District of Columbia who are left with practically no protection when injured in the course of employment. Employers as well as safety experts and public officials throughout the country have given eloquent testimony to the fa'ct that workmen's compensation laws, in addition to providing reasonable and certain care for injured workers and their dependents, have proved a most effective stimulus to Accident Prevention. ·strict of Columbia C The Tragedy of Work Accidents What a· work accident means to the Wage-earner's family and to the community without compensation protection has been · vividly set forth by Warren H. Pillsbury who served as a rnember of the California Industrial Accident Commission. Describing the tragedy of un• compensated disability to a worker, he wrote: ''%en obliged to leave work, the mcoJJ1e • ?f hunself and his family is ended. His sav- lllga will seldom last for more than a week or hvo of idleness.

When an industrial accident occurs, the employer may have to pay - in addition to the expense of a trial - a big sum of money for damages; the injured employee who sues his employ · . er gets practically nothmg; even when he win h s, e must divide what he gets with his lawyer. Unsuited to Modem ·conditions It was d e monstrated by investigating commissions in over twenty states that the doctrine of employers' liability suits for damages_ which a t least so ftened somewhat the harsh is unsuited to r..:10de rn conditions o f employment; that industry is now so comp lex and highly organized that ~he c~uses of a ccidents have become obscme a n d difficult ~o identify. r ules o f the old common law - As a result, reports show that in a substantial n umber of ca ses no recovery whatever is possible and in a still larger proportion, the damages awarded are negligible. Occasionally, we hear of large awa1ds being made after a case has dragged through the courts for years during which time the family ~;•~-ij5~·.::-rt_P:~-;~ - ;.. - ~ · ISSOURI employers and wageM earners, through their state organizations, actively supported the workmen's compensation law which was recently ratified by popular vote. In the campaign, they widely distributed the above cartoon warning the voters not to be tricked by a "shell • • put f orward game" count er propos1bon by a certain class of "damage suit" lawyers. In its camp~n literature the Missouri employers' association declared that the workmen's compensation law "will boost Missouri" and that it "will encourage the building here of new fac- tories which are now being located in states having workmen's compensation laws." Thanks to general support of the plan Missouri is no longer a black spot on the compensation map. Will Congress now do as well for the District of Columbia? has been left destitute. But even in a successful suit, court costs and attorney's fees sometimes ranging as high as 50 per cent of the sum granted consume a !!Uh• stantial part of the money awarded. Finally, a law suit stirs up hard feeling be, tween the worker and his employer. Harmful to the Community Under the present procedure in the Di5trict of Columbia •perhaps five~sixths of the work· men seriously injured at work receive no corn· pensation. Forly-three states have already adopted workmen's compensation laws because they . • f suits have come to recogmze that the system 0 for damages is inherently unfitted to 111od· • d ustr1·a1 cond"1tions, • ern m grossIy unfair to the • · costly work er, vexatious and somet"unes v ery co111to the employer, and harmful to the munity. �flow Accident Compensation C AMILIES that a,e plunged destitution as a result of a work 1 accident that kills or disables the breadwinner must be assisted. A responsibility falls upon the State, wheth e r or not the accident is due to the hazard of the job or to the negligence o f e m ployer or employee. If the State h as no compensation law a heavy burden of relief is thrown upon pub lic and private charity, and the community shares this burden. But the d istribution of the burden is not just, _a,.1_1d ~µch reliance on charity is uncertain a~d grading. --de:- • an ig ten the Burden into F L• h ,..., -- • i•II, I ' !',',( :•11 : Vi/orkmen's C ompensatlon • Stimulates Accident Prevention The modern principle is that the ~his c ~ art shows graphically the reduction of industrial burden' of ac.::ident relief should b e a ccide n ts m one lar g e ~stahlishment following the enactment of borne by the industry.

The American Association for Labor Legislation has recently made a survey of work accidents in the District, supplementing its ~imifa~ study canned on in 1923-24. It shows · · that, while Congress delays, tragedies occur nn ~he homes of injured workers. These findings have been laid before Congress. Of sixty-one accident cases just examined in ,vhich ihe compensation is known, fifty. two received absolutely nothing from their employers as compensation for their injuries. Only three men received something-after strong bra.de union 1pyessw·e had been applied-from liability insurance companies. In twenty-one of ~hese cases suits were brought for damages. Thirteen of these-necessarily under the rules of the common law since there is not even a liability statute for the District-were unsuccessful and three had not yet been settled. Three verdicts had been secured, only one of which bore any reasonable relation to the losses sustained. What frequently happens when some sort of a "settlement" is made is illustrated by the following case: The widow: of a man, killed in a work accident, was induced by a lawyer to let him represent her. He kept postponing the case. Finally, during the Christmas holidays, he went to the widow with a check for $1,500. Her son was out of a job, her married daugh• ter could .not help, her yQunger daughter had had to leave school and go to work. She accepted the settlement, of which the lawyer took $500. Other widows fared even worse, like the one who, with eight small children too young to work, had to accept charity when her husband was killed by the collapse of a scaffold. Such a condition is indeed "intolerable," Congress alone can provide the needed remedy. Accident Compensation Bill Now· Squarely Up to Congress Earlier efforts to secure this legislation have been blocked by private insurance coJJl• panies. Recently the A~erican Association for Labor Legislation, in cooperation with workers directly affected, has worked out a compromise with a view to getting the long-deferred remedy at th is session of Congress. The simple formula is embodied in a brief bill intro• duced by Senator Blaine ( S. 3565), which by reference simply extends to private employees in the District the provisions of the federal Longshoremen's Compensation Act of 1927.

Tanaka: \l'lorkman was struck by a fall of top coal while employed in Rock Springs No . 4 rfci.ne on Oct. 17th, 1932, which caused the follo\·.d.ng injuries: Fracture of the 7-9-10-11 and 12th left ribs; both ischia; sacrum; and 1st lumbar vertebrae vath separation of both sacro-illiac joints and severe shock. Workman is married, wife and four children residing in Rock Springs, the children range in ag e from 2 to 9 years, workman has been in our employ for 20 years ·w ith the exception of the years 192 0 and . 19 21; he is .51 years of age and in very poor circumstances. On October 19th, 1932, in conversation v.d.th Dr. 'l'. H. Roe, at the hospital here, we .were advised that the shock had subsided but the worlcman's right lung appeared to be filling with fluid, a11d that due to the serious condition of the worlcman at that time Dr. Roe ,,as unable to make proper examination to determine as to whether or not this was due to hemorrhage or pneumonia, but that he suspected pneumonia, he said that the workman was in a highly nervous condition and that unless he v,as kept quiet and gi van special attention that there was not much hope for his recovery, and he suggested that the worlcman be removed to a private room and that a special nurse be assigned to look after him. 'Ihe Doctor stated that he thought this special care should extend over a period of about ho weeks, We got in touch with Ur. Butler, of the Feck Springs �- 2 .:ipital Commission, and explained the circumstances to him and he agreed that under these conditions that the workman should have specia l care, but that the rules of the Commission prohibited payment for private rooms an d special nurses but that he thought that arrang ements could be made to take care of the additional expense in this case, and that he woul d take the matter up with John McTee, another member of the board. I~r . McTee advised Ur. Butler that such an arrangeme11t was agreeable with him and that payment could be taken care of in some ,ray. Vl e informed Miss Shields, Superintendent of the Hospital, as to the result of our interview with Mr. Butler and that it was our understanding that the Hospital Commission would make provision to defray the expense of private room, special nurse, etc., 'I he v1orkman ,:1as then transferred to a private room and a special nurse detailed to attend him. This special care was contin- ued over a period of ho weeks at which time wo rltman had sufficiently recovered to allow removal to one of the hospital wards. Later, ho'\'rever, when the bill for these services, in an amount of $125 .SO, was presented to the Commission for payment the third member of the board, Joe Kudar, made objection to payment on the grounds that the rules of the Commission must be lived up to regardless of consequences, Mr. licTee then voted with Kudar not to allow the bill and payment of the amount was refused. It is easy to see and understand the possibility of imposition should the commission make no discrimination in the payment of bills of this character, it being generally understood that the cost of service of this character is to be paid by the workman or his family, but considering the unusual conditions of this case and in connection with the fact that this special service �- 3& prescribed as being entirely necessary, by '-.t he Surgeon who is in the en:plo_y of the Commission certainly such special service should be provided a nd not at the expense of the hospital, nurses, or the injured workman. I am enclosing herevd.th bill ol Nurse Sweeney for servic es an d th e hospital is carrying a balance of $41.50 for rent of private room and nurse's board. (sgd) copy H. J.

Subject: Time Limit on Reporting Injuries on Compensation Cases, Nyoming Field. Mr. Geo. B. Pryde: In discussing the handling of compensation cases with several of the mine superintendents, the question has arisen of the proper reporting of injuries. In our opinion any legislation contemplated to the Workmen's Compensation Act should include a clause requiring that compensation be claimed within 30 days after the date of accident with the further provision that the injury must be reported to the workman's foreman or to the designated physician of the Coal Company, within 48 consecutive hours of calendar days, subsequent to the injury. �~ . ..'

Dear Mr. Pryde, Many thanks for your letter of 9t h instant enclosing copies of pamphlet descriptive of your new mine. One does not wish to be guilty of envy, but the section through your coal seams (seven in number) on page marked 19, does make one wish that thos e nonderful formations were available to us in this country, instead of our spending large sums of money in g etting down to our relatively thin seams. It is also with pleasure that I note the confidence with which you plan out the projected work, indicating that no faults or geological displacements of any kind are contemplated. I do desire you every success, '\'lhich, may I venture to say, has been well deserved by the complete manner in which everything is thought out and desie;ried at the beginning. It is noted that you propose to bring the coal to the surface by a series of belt conveyors. This is a great idea with shallo\7 seams and v1here the belt slope can be arranged at 18°. This system suggests to me that all the seams are of similar quality and that the coal from all of the seams can therefore be mixed, which is a state of affairs not usual with us. �c%.........................Q:~.Q~g~....!;?.. ;l?..+.~Y..9.-.~.. ~.§.g.~....................?..4:::.?.."."..99 ............. ! ... .. Jl .•.. c~?'e ..............:z................................... At the present moment r,e are considering another winding shaft, \·,here we hope to be able to adopt skip winding, but where the seruns underground are of diff erent qualities and will be used for different purposes. The idea is that there should be three chutes a t the surface, each delivering into its o,;m proper conveyor, VIhich in turn ,.,i ll take the coal to three separate screens. By means of an a rrangement of steel flaps, the coal out of each skip is designed to be diverted into its proper chute and conveyor. The man at the pit bottom will have to signal electrically to the man at the surface, indicating the grade of coal being loaded into the skip , and while the skip is travelling, the man on the surface will have to arrange the flaps to divert the conte nts of the skip into the proper chute and on to the proper conveyor . All these things are necessary in our conditions, where the large coal from the different seams may var y considerably in quality, useful purpose, and price. We like your large mine cars, but those which we are adopting are narroY:er and higher. Not having so good roof conditions, we like to keep the roads narrow. The capacity is 3 tons 10. Dr. riilliam Reid asked if he might write a Paper on our new Comrie development to connnunicate to the Institute of Petroleum, and if you uould like to be informed about our new pit, I am sure he ,;10uld be pleased to send you a copy of his Paper. Meantime I thank you for the pamphlets, copies of which will immediately be forriarded to the names marked upon them, and our people will be as pleased as I am to have this information.

U . S .A . Dear Nir . Pryde, In some little haste, I wish to thank you f or your letter of February 10th and t o make a v ery few coIIl!!lents on the interesting points. The magazine n:Mechanization" is very intere s ting and I shall read it carefully. Meantime I am impressed with t he sta t ement by :..r . Holbrook, :Cean of the School of Engin eeri n g a nd !','lines, Pittsburg University, i n regard to the s car ci t y of Mining students. I am to be spea kin g on thi s matter at the University of Leeds JJining Society Dinner on Friday of this week, and note that the question is world-wide, applicable not only to Coa l iH ning bu t to i,'i e talliferous 1.iining. The Principal of t he Royal School of J:.Ii n es in London mentioned the matter to me nhile I v,as there visiting the Metalliferous 1'.iining Laboratory , and now I find the same conditions i n .America a s exist in South Africa, not to mention t h e British Coalfields. l:"e are not the only pioneers in this country, but our Education Department caters more for the o fficia ls up to the rank of i'.'.Ianager rather tha n for those required for the highest posts. Vie are, however, now making a move to do something to produce men who may be fitted to maintain the policy of the Industry during the next generation. You are to be congratulated in giving away an automobile to one of your workers under your Safety Scheme, �Yo.....................G.e.or.ge....B.......P.r:y.de., ....E s.qa...........................l~.3.~.3.8.~............ !!JJa?e............2................................... and I suppose the mine rs i n your part of the worl d are quite used to travelli n g i n private motor- cars, wh ich in this country are s'ci ll somewhat of a luxury. \Ve a re still making progres s wi th our accident rate in a modified manner, but not giving away motor- cars, which woul d not suit our conditions.

Pryde, Thanks for your further letter of 10th , enclosing figures about your Accident performance, i n r e ga r d t o which you doubtless have great personal satisfa ction. I am sorry to learn that business condi tion s a re not very good in America at the moment, but the pos ition must be very difficult for the Legisla ture a s n ell a s for the Traders. The Coal Trade is goin; to have a good year in our country, but for the first time there is a little reduc tion in certain Steel prices which may just be the beginning, not of a slump, but of a recession to some extent from the 11boom 11 conditions in the Steel '11rade of last year. The Institution of Iftining Engineers is very much occupied with the Coal Bill, and I, personally, am very concerned to see that most satisfactory arrangements are made for the Annual Dinner, at which the Institution Uedal is to be presented to a German Scientist, and I am proposing to make the presentation in German as Dr . Beyling does not understand our l anguage. You will understand this causes a little anxiety, and I must not fail in my duties. Your/ �e%........................O.-.e.Qrg.e.....B..A ....P.r:~rde..,....E sq.....................22!':':l::":.38............... Your Company , probably, will be better ab le than most to stand up a gain st a ny adverse conditions rthich may arise . The most ef f ici ent Companies a l ways come out best, and you i.:ill a t least have that satisfaction, even if conditions are not very good in 1938. In a ny ca,se, you have my personal good vlishes in the matter , together with those of all our staff to ·whom you have been so generous in the past.

Pryde, Esq., The Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, \ '.1 Y O 1':1 I N G, U.S.A. Dear Ilir. Pryde, Many thanks for your l etter of r ecember 31st , t oge ther with :r:agazine entitled "Mechanization''. This particular volume is very interesting to me, on account particularly of the article on Stripping. This practice is unkno,m in our country, no doubt because of our conditions, but we have a very thick seam in one of t h e F .C. C. Coalfields cropping out on the surface, and Yrhi ch some day we may have to develop. The actual thiclmes s varies, and unfortunately the seam is intersected by several bands of dirt. There may, however, be 20 feet thickness of coal altogether. The seam pitches at about one in four and therefore ,·lill soon get under cover, but a long the outcrop and for a workable depth by stripping, there should be a lot of cheap coal to be got , a ll of which will be broken and washed. The quality is not good, but if well washed ~ould be quite marketable. ?f.eantime we are sinking and fl tting a new colliery v1hich will cost several hundreds of thousands of pounds, where we may get several seams averaging about 4 feet, but this will be quite satisfactory if the Fiel d is free from geological troubles. In regard to Mechanization generally, there is one point which we, in our country, must not lose sight of. It is that the mechanical appliances cost probably quite as much as they do in America, v,hile the '\"rages rate is very much less, and the saving, therefore, definitel y less in proportion. �n f!!Ja?e .........?..~.................................... ~conomically, therefore , we cannot mechanize so completely as is found profitable i n .America . These comments are by the way, and I thank you for t h e Magazine and send all g ood v1ishes. Yours faithfull y, �~, Dl'lUL.::.:y 10 , 193G :_1•. C.

This time, I proposed that it be awarded to Dr. Beyling, v1ho has done a g1"eat deal of scientific \70rk in Germany, and he has accepted. This is the fir st time that a member of a European nation has had this honour conferred upon him, and in due course we \'Jill be having a Public Dinner in London, attended by many prominent people in this country, a n d also one or trio from Germany, and I bel ieve that the /\mericsn .l\r.1baasador, 1;.r.

Dear Mr. Pryde, I thank you for your letter dated 11th May, and am glad to '.have your exchange of news and views. At the moment, the two points exciting the industry here are probably the following: (1) The possibil ity of a national strike over the question of the Nottingham Union, sometimes called the 1spencer 11 Union . ~his, as you probabl y know, consists of a group in the Notting- ham area \7hich broke away from the 1'iiners I Federation in 1926, made an agreement with their o,·m Colliery Owners , and started up the Nottingham coalfield in the middle of the national strike 1926. It may be said that this body of miners ratted on the Federation el even years ago, and have been very unpopular with the Federation ever since. The Federation have determined to fight it out with this small Union, and compel unification ,1ithin the Federation, seizing the present opportunity as suitabl e for this purpose. At the moment of vrriting, it would, however, appear that agreement is likely , and that ult imately the Spencer Union will join up with the Federation on terms presentl y being discussed by an intermediator appointed by the 111nister for IUnes.

The new tax, entitled 1tNa t;ional Defence Contribution1.t : 11 The Col liery Guardian" \"Jill n o doubt inform you as to the general view in re gard to t hi s , a s well as in regard to t h e Spencer Union question. Fr om our point of view, it is rather unfair that industr i e s such as the coal trad~ which have recent l y passed thr ough a pe riod of depression and now are enjoying prosperity , should be taxed, while industries which had no depression and n o additional prosperity should be exempt. A very gr eat deal could be said in support of the unfairness in general principle. If businesses such as "1.'fool worth' s Stores have earned 20fb every year for the. past five years, they escape, whereas a shipbuilding Company which made, perhaps, no profit at all in the period from 1931 to 1 935, is now to be taxed on everything over 6% of its capital. On the other hand, there are two points to be remembered : (a) The present Government introduced tariffs on many articl es, incl uding particularly steel , the result of ,vhic h may be assumed to be increased prosperity in many trade s in this country. (b) An enormous armament programme is now in operation, whereas five years ago disarmament was the pol icy of .. this country. These two things together have been done by the Governme nt . The depressed trades might still have been depressed but for these two factors, and the Government may consider themselves entitl ed t o a l ittl e of the profits resul ting from their own action under these two headings. No doub t , the prosperity in the steel trade has been of considerable assistance to coal, and so , also, has the armament progra:mne. Inequalities will doubtless arise which some peopl e may find hard to bear, but, as usual , the l ongsuffering taxpayer Yrill get accustomed to it, and make the best of it, r ealising that, after all, the ol d country offers compensat ing advantages.

On another point, in .America a good deal is being done in the way of rendering coal dust - free by treating it with oil vapour. I have read all the publications by the Bureau of Mines , in the rtcoal 11.ge,11 and in the Proceedings of the American· Institute of !1•~ining Engineers, of which I am a member. It seems to me that this is a useful development,: particularl y for coal intended for bunkering of steamers in the Mediterranean and e lsewhe1"e, where the dust is a very great nuisance when bunkerin13 with coal. At the moment, I am cormnunicating with some of the commercial interests concerned, and if any encouragement is given , I think I must try to get the Institution of Minin g Engineers to do some experimental work on the subject in the general interest. If you happen to have any published information on the subject, I would be greatly obliged if you v,ill l et me hear from you. In the meantime, my colleagues join me in sending you all good wishes.

This was due to the fact that the quota of the concern was increased by 1 million metric ton·s as from the lat.April 1936 in consequence of the completion of a new double shaft. The sales participation bf the Syndicate aniounted to 5,5~9,GOO ~t~ic tons of esal, 1.815.570 metric tons of coke and 2,116 t 100 metric tons of briquettes. The number of persons employed increased during the year by 1,322 and at the end of the year totalled 12,725. Proceeds of the concern showed an increase of about 15%, while thectproceeds from participations showed an inoreaee of 5070. It will be observed that the Essen Trading Company at Duisburg showed a satisfactory profit. The dividends of the Syndicate Trading Companies showed a small increase. The concern was also interested 1n various other concerns including the Ruhr .Gae Oompany and the Ruhr Chemical Company. . �(8577) While the receipts increased by more than 20%, expenditure only showed an increa~e of approximately 18%, Social charges accounted for · 19 . 4~ of the wages and salaries paid. The gross profit was about 35~ greater than in the previous year and after making depreciation allowances 29% in excess of those written off in the preceding year, the net profit showed an increase of 50%. Out of the net profit l million marks were placed to reserves, bringing these up to 2 million marks, while a dividend of 4~ was paid on the capital of 63 million marks. In the first quarter of the current year, the satisfactory sales position has continued and stocks have now practically bean exhausted. The concern is associated with the Harpen concern in an oil from coal process and has set up a subsidiary company With a capital of 12 million marks, three-qu§rtere of this amount being provided by the Essen concern and 25~ by the Harpen. This first report available from the Ruhr mines for the year 1936 shows that the mining industry is in a better position to ad.dress itself to new tasks than a year or two ago • . The general increase in the level of production has now extended to coal and the improved conditions on the world market have alleviated the burden placed upon the collieries by the necessity of maintaining the export traGe. (Deutsche Bergwerks Zeitung - 6t~ April 1937~ Beriiner Tageblatt - 6th April 1937) West German Ooal Market According to provisional figures the output of coal in the Ruhr district in the month of March 1937 totalled 10.52 million metric tons as compared with 9.90 million metric tons in the preceding month. The output per working day averaged 420,000 metr1o t~n• as compared with 413,000 metric tons per day in the precedtng . month. Thie is only slightly below the maximum figur~ of output per working _d ay in 1929. The mines were able to satisfy the increased demands made upon them as a result of development work being maintained underground in earlier years in anticipation of an increase . 1j in demand.

The production of coke in March totalled 2.51 milli•n metric tone as compared with 2.35 million metric tons in the preceding month.

The total sales of the Ruhr mines exceecGd·those in the. beat month in the preceding accounting period ended 31st . March 1937. This resu.l.t was achieved in spite of . a reduction in the sales of domestic fuel and of coke, the i~creaae in the sales of industrial ooal more than offsetting the reduction in the sales of domestic fuel. · �(8579) The total sales on account of the Syndicate by the Ruhr mines averaged 283,000 metric tons per working day in March as compared with 280,000 metric tons per working day in the month of February . The sales in the uncontested dietriot fell away for seasonal reasons, averaging 127,000 metric tons per working day as compared with 129,000 metric tone per working day in the preceding month. Sales in the contested district, however, increased from 151,000 metric tons per working day in February to 156,000 metric tons per working day in March.

He points out that as a result of the necessity from the stanJpoint of national policy of etabilising -n~ges and prices, minimum wages laid down in various wages agreements in Germany have been maintained practically unchanged during the last four years. In spite of this, however, the position of the workman shows very considerable improvement. The risk of unemployment had been diminished or elimj_nated and sho:rt-time working had been discontinued. As a result the amounts paid in wages salaries have risen from 26,300 million marks in 1933 to 3,i,500 million marks in 1936. It was also necessary to bear in mind that the earnings for piece-workers had incraased ~a~ result of high output. The extension of the length of notice necessnry to terminate employment bad also increased the security of the ~orkman. In connection With the increase in earnings as a result of overtime payments, Dr.Munz said that the rumours current abroad that the German government would abandon the 8 hour day were without foundation~ The poei tion in Germany and the execution of the 4 Year Plan demanded that a rigid treatment of the hours regulations should be avoided. The exceptions in the law rel ~~ing. to working hours enabled such demands to be met without any grave di sadvantage to the workmen. Special labour commissioners had to investigate how far the extension of the regular working hours up to a maximum limit of 10 hours per day was necessary. An increase in working hours would naturally arise in those branches of industry in which it was most necessary to increase p~oduction in the interests of national policy. The shortage of skilled labour had Ied in individual oases to a considerable increase in rates. In the 16 mosy important industries the hourly .earnings had increased by 8. ?ro and the weekly earnipge by 16. B1.:1 up to the end of Sept ember 1936. The 4 Ye_ar Plan did not permit any change to be made in the wages policy. The German worker could, however, be convinced that ·,r!lcn it h~.d solved the great task of attaining full and complete freedom it nou.ld de~l with the wages question. In spite of all the difficulties, the German workman had now attained a standard of living which bore oomparison with that in foreign countries.

(Frankfurter Ze:ictung - 11th April 1937) BELGIUM Belgian Coal Consumption - 1936 During the year 1936 the consumption of coal in Belgium is estimated to have been 29,823,500 metric tons as compared with 28,291,000 metric tons in the preceding year. The output of co~l in ~elgi um increased from 24,484,000 metric tons in 1935 to 2?,87b 1 200 metric tons in 1936. Stocks were reduced from 2,557,700 metric tons to 1,061,700 metric tons, while imports totalled 7,284,500 metric tons in terms of coal equivalent and exports 6,833,200 metric tons. It "thus appe~rs that the consumpti~n of cttal in Belgium in19J exceeded that in t~e preceding-year by 1,533,000 metric tons or approximately 5-t"/". . • Belgium has therefore taken .her part in world recovery. The year 1936 has marked the end of the crisis which has persisted for more than 5 years.

(Moniteur des Iuterets Mat eriele - 4-5th April 1937) FRANCE Effect of New French O,uo.t a Restrictions As from the let.April 1937 end until further notice the quota ._applicable to the new basis period has been fixed at 95~. I~ the case of Britis~ coal the percentage has been fixed at 872,~, the balance of 7""~i0 being reserved in respect of the coal-pitwood agreement. This agreement Will continue to be applied during the three months April to June, the price of P.itwood having been increased from 24/3 per metric ton to 2773 per metric ton. In the month of March when the quota was based upon 65i of the imports in the reference period 1928/1930, the normal quota ronounted to 1,050,000 metric tone per month, the supplementary quota to 160,000 metric tone end the complementary quota to 105,000 metric tone, making a total of 1,315,000 metric tons. Thia total does not include bunkers, coal for metallurgical industries, Saar coal or coal. from Indo-Ch:tna. In 1936 the imports apart from bunkers etc. may be estimated at 1,120,000 metric tons per month and with the ct"UOta atend:in.e; at 95%~ the amoURt permitted to be imported in Ap'l'il. wil.1. oonaiet of 1.,065,000 metric tone in respect of the normal quota, 160,000 metric tons in respect of the supplementary quota and 105,000 metric tone in respect of the complementary quota, making a total of 1,330,000 metric tons, which is approximately the same as the figure for Maroh, • It is calculated that the total imports of all categories cf coal on the basis of recent months will be approximately 2,250,000 metric tons per month or 90~ of the average for the years 1928 to 1930, if all the licences distributed are utilised. �The tot:u value of these imports at 130 francs per metric ton will be approximately 300 million francs per month as compared with 190 million francs per month on the average during the year 1936.

The exempted vlasses include ooal, lignite and coke for blast furnaces and for ovens at blast furnaces, main-line railways and gas and electricity works in respect of the quantities used for generating eleotticity for public consumption. The decree further provides that if the impnrtation • is effected by the industrial consumer by means of an impert permit, the tax will not be levied by the oustoms. If, on the ether hand, the importation is made by means of a quota certificate or through an intermediary, the tax will be levied but may be recovered on production of the necessary certificates at the Mines Department. (Journal des Oharbonnages - 14th April 1937) Oil from Coal in France The French plans for the production of oil fro m coal have had to oe modified in consequence of the increased coat of fuel. As compared with original programme for the production of 300,000 metT~o tone 0£ ayn~hetic oil, equivAlent to approximately 1/lOth of the French consumption, the programme has now been reduced to 60,000 met ric tons per annum. . This plan will obtain oil from South-Frenoh lignite by the hydrogenation process. The cost of lignite in May 1936 when the plan was formulated was €[) francs per met ric ton but in the meantime has risen to 85 francs per metric ton.

My first words from !his Chai.- must be to thnnk you for the honou1: which you haYe done me in electing rue to the Presidency of the Institution. It is difficult to express adequately one's sentiments on an occasion of this kind. The long list of names of distinguished men who hn ,-e filled this position during nearly half a century gives an impression of the difficulty of maintaining the traditions of the past and yet serves as an inspiration to exert every effort to discharge the duties in :i manner satisfactory to you and to myself. ·with the help and co-operation of the members, Council, and staff it is hoped that the Institution may, in the coming year, continue its valuable work in so many fields· of usefulness to the industry1 whose prosperity we all have so deeply at lieart. 0 IMPOllTANCE OF THE COAL-:UINING INDUSTRY. The first point I would like to make is that coal-mining in this country must not be regarded as a diminishing industry. The recent dep1·ession and the set-back in the tonnage of exports· may hnYe given some colour to this idea, but no such suggestion must be entertained. On the contrary, the coal-consumption of this country and of the world generally is not decreasing, new uses for co:il are on the eYe of developments which may create a considerable additional demand, and if, as was stated at the World Power Conference in September last, the oil-supplies of the world may show signs of approaching exhaustion in some twenty years, the coalfields will undoubtedly acquire a new importance. '!'he latest estimate of the World's Coal Resources is probably that of Dr. H. Meis who, in a recent issue of GUlckauf, brought up to date· the figures presented at the 12th Internntional Congress of Geology held in 1913. In t his estimate, which included seams· down to 2,000 metres in depth, the British coalfields are credited with 52·5% of the " certain ." reserves and 25·6% of the " certain and probable " resources of Europe. It is true that enormous and almost incalculable quantities of easily got coal exist in America, in Asiatic Russia, and elsewhere, but under conditions, geogrnphical and otherwise, which, at present put them practically out of economic reach. Nothing causes us to anticipate any want of continuity or cessation of development of the British coal-industry, and the mining engineers of this country may, with confidence, take the long view, plan for the future, and be prepared to meet any competition which may be encount.ered. �2 It hns become customary t hat the President ' s Address to the {m;LiLUtiou should be of a non-c01ltro,·ersiul naLm·e. T his prcccdeut is 1lillicu ll fot· me to follow, and, ii you will bear witb me, 1 sball u1kc the libuny of e:i:pressing my own opinions, fruukly a nd openly, as uccasiou mny al"ise, in the course of my r emarks, ret1lizi11g q uite clua dy that this course commits no one but myself per:;on:i.lly. OBJEOTS OF 'U i E u-;STI TUTION . It' one is to succeed in any incliv iduul act ion 0 1· joint 1.md.:!'lakrng, it is necessary to keep ,·ery cleurly anu. n iry constandy in , 1cw t he objects and purposes which ure being airued uL. We m u,;L 11c,·c1· lo~c sight of our objects. 'l'he objects of The Instit ut ion of 1lining .Engineers :trc ,;et forth iu the llye-laws attached to ou1· Royal Cha rter of which p ur agrapll 1 reads:..

The efficiency of the technical uperations, in detail. A.nVA.NOEM.ENT 01' Co.\L•lUNING .A S A.> 1::-ot:s·rny. 'l'he subject is wide enough to embrace polit ic,.tl, co11U1wrnial, economic, and other cousideru.tions. I cl.aim that the Iust itut iou is entitled to bold und to express its Yiews on uuythiug and eYerything affecting the welfare of the inu.usLry. ~nest.ions of fur-reuchiug importance may arise ut a,uy momeut ou which tbe Institution may not be able to remuiu i;ileut. .Meantime, howe,·cr, l propose under t his bending to touch upon two matters only, both of which relate very definitely tu the advancement of the industry :(a) Training of personnel. (b) Advantages and dangers of depurt.mentul specialization. 'l.'raiiiing of Persunnel.-This is a ,;ubject 011 which it is difficult to be impartial. One is very apt to allow personal or local circumstances to obscure the broader und more general aspect. If the industry is not satisfied with the present system, the responsibility lies with the industry to take some action, although agreement may be difficult. Let me, therefore, express one or two personal Yiews. No cr iticism can be launched against the existing university facilities. It is unfortunate that they are 11ot more fully taken advantage of, and us this Address proceeds, it will be gathered that in my Yiew the field of usefulness for university graduates is likely to widen. Having completed the course und accompanying underground experience, t ravel in us many different coalfieldl! ns possible, at home and abroad, is vitally necessary. This is recognized, but, sufficient impor tance is not attached to the nd,·antage to be gained. Powers of observation, deduction, nssimilntion and nrrungement of facts, such as the Pelman cour se emphasizes, must he culth·nted. For this reason pnrt, nt least, of the foreign travel mny well be deferred until the student h ns �3 sufficient p ractical experience properly to appreciate, and to appraise at its p rope1· value in t he light of differing circumstances, what he sees in foJ·cign coalfields. From the industry viewpoint, however, the ncquisition of knowledge mu<;t be accompanied by n study of human nature. Two-thirds of the cost of coal lies in wages and salnries. Therein mining differs essentially from other industries. The difference between success and failure lies noL in the lnck of knowledge, but in the npplicntion of it in the light of n realization of the human problems involved. '! 'he tra ining for t he Colliery Manager's certificate is a thorny subject - one renlizes the difficult ies of the under-officinl who, nfter an exhnusti ng d ay underground, has to travel to t.l1e local centre and settle down to study for the coming exnmina.t ion. The exnminntion system is wit h us and has to be reckoned with, but i~ it fair to leave the und~r -official to work out his own salvation 1 I t hink th:1t. hetter results would be obtained if the owners took a practical p nrt in the trnining of candidates for the Manager's examinations. T his could be done by d irecting and "arying the underground experience of nppro,·ed cnnrlidntes and providing mining teachers or lecturers to g ive the neressarJ t heoretical instruction free of a ll charge to t he students nnd in sui table centres either within or nenr the collierv office. Spnce rloec; not permit me to elaborate this point, hut, it is one t~ which T per~onnlly attach consiclernble importnnce. One must spenk very highly of t he excellent work done in the mining schools in the earlier st,nirec;. nnd this suggestion npplie~ only to the late1· staj?e<: of prepnrntion of candirlntes for the Colliery Manager's examination. It is in this way that T t,hink t he hest results will be obtnined for the fntnre. Cln~c:ec: for bovs are now almost. universal. Safety comes first. but :rn efiort shoul,l 1;lso he mnde to intere,;f the boyi; in' ns many rlepnrtment<: of underground work ns possible, so that Inter they mny nnturnlly i:eek employment in different classes of unclergrounrl work. The blind-alley drift of things in past years has helped to fill the Labour Exchanges. nnrl an effort. must he made to put this right.

These Inst fou r words nre importa_nt. )fony year ago when the pract ice of sticking little coloured fla gs on war mnps was still freshly in mind , I hnd flags prepared for e,·ery worker in a seol ion or distr ict, a nd tried to find plnces fo1· them on a 11·1,cing <•f the w()rkings. 'l'he t'esult was n re,·elntion, and, together with other ouqetTalion ·, confirmed me in my ncl~•ocacy of p hrnning as abo,·e ilefinecl . \\'hel'e u nderg r ound conditions ure a lready known, no difficulty p resents it. elf in p repari ng complete schemes, bu t such schemes are none the less necessary. It. is not too much to sny that, e,·er y unit. o f labour should be pluced in p1·opc1· position in t he scheme, every item of plnnt a nd machinery considered ,incl scheduled, t ransport und other " senices " duly plunned ou t a nd prodded fol', a nd a stateme nt appended gh·ing value of plant 1·equired and esrimnted cost per ton of cont to be produced Such det:i ii i worked out fol' ,t row o f cottages, nnd underg:1·ou ncl oper:1! ions a rc desen- ing of at least equal care. An enormous muss or dotnil is inrnlved.

New ideas o re not born in the finished state, but t he fina l product may l>e t he result of many d ays of wenry labour after the original conception has taken r oot. focidentally, i t is difficult to understand lhc disinclination to make more use of time-nnnlysi,s, studies. Cost-sheets show where expenditure hns been incui-rer! nncl how it hns Ynried in the pnst. but limo-analyses show where t.ime hns been lo~t nml where it can he saved in t he fu ture . One shows t hat n remedy i,; needed, but the other shows where l he remedy is· to be found. One resemhlcs the pnin which cnlls n,tten t ion to on injury, but t.he other shed<: the illumin11tinl! light of the X-rny<: on t he sent of the injury, reYenl ing unerring)~, the p recise noture of the necessnry steps towa rds n cure. I hope I clo not wen ry you with nclvocacy of whnt, to mnny, mny be elementory. E,·er.r colliery owner probably plnm to some extent, but it is doubtful whether an y cnrries the process fnr enou:rh. The present shortnj!e o f prnctical pitmen renders t he eronomir di!ltribution of nYnil11ble supplies nil the more necessnry. We must master t he pit conditions -not let- them master us. We must prodrle nil necessnry ser,ices nnd then follow up with output-not commence by starting prnrluction of conl nnd then following up with 1-ervices. This difference is ,ery important. This work requires n sepnrnte staff. I ,•enture to state my opm1on thnt if this duty bo placed upon the opernth·e stnfi re<;ponsible fo1· the rlny-to-dny control of the colliery the result will not he sucres,;;ful. A field pre<:ents itself for mining en~ineers of re<:ource. ima~inat,ion, and experience. who will first recognize that nn importa nt problem exi~t!\: who will 11ccumulate. nil ui;eful clntn, not forgettinj! the Ynlunb\e fund nlrend·-1 nvnilnble in the Trn11 snrtio1111; who will classif~· the fnrt!-. formi1late tentnti,e proposnls, test. en.ch separately. rli<:Mrd whnt rnn he improved upon: nnd finally suhmit ronsirlererl proposals omhodying the �6 best that experience nnd forethought cnn prodclo.

'l'his is ti much larger p roportion tha n exisls elsewhere, and is a fact which we muy accept with some satisfaction. Pust experience suggests that safety by legislation hus reached a limit. What seems de irable is the a wakening of a deepe1· sense of responsibility fo1· sttfet:.y, and a defiu ile determination to reduce the accident-rate th roug hout the entire coltie1·y personnel. T he s1mior present on any occasion, whethel" un official or uot, should, ..i~ iu olhor organiiat ions, feel himself respon sible, to some extent, for· tho safety und weliurn of t hose working with him. 'l'he work.men should u..sisL in this maclor 1.tnd not. leaYe it to officials. ~lut'l1 cnn be done by propaganda ,\Dd constant applicat ion, but ,1g11 in l aw of opin ion I.hat this will only be accomplished by stnfi work continua lly dealing with the subject. 'l'he work of the Safety Departmonl al tlie colliel'ies wit h which I nm privileged to be immediately associulcd has been described fully elsewhere and the .result so far hus been ve1·y satisfa ctory and encouraging. Whether this cnn l,e mainlniue<l or improved upon will depend largely upon I lie success of I.he independent safety staff in enlisting t he sympathy 11 n t1 :<eou ring I he goodwill of officials and workn1en alike . .IJcwagi:mt nt and the flnman Blement.-It may be presumptuous to star t even a short parngraph unde1· t his beading, but the subject co·nnot well be avoided .. My advocacy of the d ifferentiation between staff work. and operations 1·ecognhes the fact that deep thinkers mny hesitate to net, nnd energetic operntors may not ham time to think sufliciently. Operntors are entitled to rely 011 stnff wodt nn d the staff ui·e entitled to suflicient time and suitable conditions for working out the schemes. Seemingly good ideas may ln·enk down on investigation, but. in any case should run the gauntlet of exhn.ustive criticism by both the planning and opernting stafis before adoption. Success mny come l,y chance, but minh1g opei-atio_ns n.r~ daily npproximn.ting mol'e and more to the natur e of an exact science. Specialists nre necessnry in every dep:1rtment nnd their nssistnnce is eagerly sought after. But specinlists are apt to be impntient with departments other than their own, and pnrticulnrly with the great mass or humnn interests concerned with the mining industry. Some excellent ideas of fundamental importance hnYe foiled because their originators failed to take sufficient account of the human element. 'l'he various and numerous depnrtments, ench in chnrge of a specialist, m11st be got to work in harmony like the instrumentnlists in nn orchestra, hut the ndministrntion must not shirk n.ddinir to .the number of departments through fear of disharmony. We nrc in nn era of departments and must nccept that fact. An inch of Yncm1m is worth mnny ponnrls of steam-pressure, a n d success depends on enl!enrlerinir the will to sncceerl nnrl gettinp: the depnrtmentnl chiefi; equipped with 1i mentnl outlook which impels them nnturnlly and entlrnsiustirnlly to fnll in with the genernl scheme. Innovations must be introduced grnrlnall)·, nntil the benefits are olwions, a fter which the departments will interlock spont:meonc:.lJ. I think it will be found, on rlispossionnte nnnl~-si!l, that tl1e rourse of events may be shaped ns mueh hy psycholop:ical sentiment nnd feelings as by hard fnots nnd cold logic. Far-reaching innovations may, in the �8 ne:u· future, be born within, or thrnst upon, the industry, but let the 1·eformers not forget the words of one of the profoundest studen_Ls_of human nature, and which words are peculiarly applicable to the mmmg community : •• Wo nre uot wood, wo nro uot stones, but 1110 11. ' ' SUll)!ARY. I haYe tried to condense my Yieu·s ou these matters into the fewesL possible \rnrds, but this must not detract from the importance of the points. The coal-mining industry of this coun try must be regar ded :1s of increasing rather than diminishing importance. It must be the endea\·our of the pre~ent generation of members ro continue to sen·e the industry to tho best of thei r ability, and purticula.rly to pursue unceasingly the objects or the I nstiLution. These objects briefly paraphrased may be stnted thus : 1. The ndmnccment of conl-miniug as un industry, in gcnornl. 2. Tho efficiency of tbo tccb.nicnl operations, in detail. In pursuance of these objects my views arc exp,·essed on : Training of pcrsow1el, Dcpnrtmcntnl spcciaHza.tion, Planning, Forecasting, Safety, and the OYeniding considerat ion of the human factor. One thread running through the Address und appearing at frtquent interYals is the necessity for, and t he efficient employment of, qua Ii lite! specialists in the various departments. Another idea which is strongly stressed is the great importance of recognizing and allowing for the human element, which is so strongly represented in the industry, when introducing innovations. :Many mining engineers will agree with me, and many 01ay differ fundamentally from me, but my pmpose will be sen·ed if this Address leads to a deeper consideration of the mutters referred to, in the lio•l,t of local circumstances and requirements, and finally results in a few steps being taken leading towards the object whis:h we all have in dew, namely, the " adYancement of the industry." �l tJCl3 v e'!!:y n uch plca God , a fen days ago, to ;.:-e~d i n the Co lU. e1•y Gu.::..r c.i aa ~;n ~.rmouncencn t 'lliat y ou. ho.d been appointed 2resi dent o r the I n s t i tution o f wining 2ilQ. neers . rJhi l c thi s \-;i.11 e:1 toi l con aidcra.ble \"Jork f or you, I knon J/ou. 1..1ill fulfill the duties o f P resi d ent very a ccep tabl y to t uc IJ.6D.b~ro .

Doubtless, you arc av,are that \'!e start upon a new p rocramme in this countr·y in the be c inning of next year, \"!~.".ch marks a er e at a dvunce in the co- operative handling of t __e commercial side of our indu stry. Hith erto , the tonn a c;e/ �tonna.se quota allotted t o each Coal Company has applied merely to the product i on tonnage, restricting and regu lating output of coal. This h3.s prove d to be insufficient. and for the futur e ·::e a:i:•e to have tvJO sale s quotas, one for tonnage supp lied for i n l a n d sale v,i t hin t he Uni ted Kingdom, and the othsi- f ol"' export sales to f ore i gn countries. i:inir.n:un prices are to be f ixed f or e ach. cl ass of coal, but I do not thi nk that this will h ave s o much effect as the ability t o r estrict t h e t onn age of coa l ,;1l1ic!l can be put u p on the market at any time. If p r i ce s get too lm·,, it may be more eff'ectual to res t ri c t t he tonnage offered for sale by , say , five per cent., than to endeavour to compel conformity to a very c omplicated s cale of minimum prices. In the forei (;n marke t, our p osition i s l ikely to be improved by an a r.;reement rrh ich is beinri; n egotiated r,i th Poland, our chief competitor in t h e exp ort mar ket .

It is a b i g step . and one Y1hich marks a stase of some i mportance i n European pro~ress, that Great Britain and Poland haYe arrived at an a 5reement at all . Both countries mean to ca rry it through: in letter and in spirit, to mutual benefit, a nd nhil e i t y;ould be absurd and unfortunate to expect specta cu lar rises in price , yet it will have a steadying eff ect on coal prices through Europe. An advance in price \"fill be qui t e satisfactory if reckoned in pence - not sh illin s s - per ton . for a beginning at least .

I am Vice - Chairman of the Scottish i.:ine Ovmers' Association dealing with Y1orlanen I s insurance, and we have a very different picture in t h is country . It may be that the conditions affectin0 payment of compensation may have something to do with the number of minor a ccidents under '7hich compensation can be claimed, but the number of fatal accidents is still a very great source of/ �3 of anxiety to a l l of u s . ..e c a n , therefore , with a ll the more hea rtine ss, tender you our congr a t u l a ti ons .

Ca rlo z,, Esq.,, :!!anat;ing Director Fife Coal Com.t,1@1Y Leven, Fifeshire, Scotland Uy dear llr. Carl<;>n: It has been some time since I h ave wri tten you. ~ any t~i ngs have ne eded my- attention, and I have hesita t ed writing to you also so that I mi ght have a n idea of 'wha t the Coal Code has done for us after some t i me has elapsed. Lookin g backward o ver the first few \'leeks of t he Co de , it see:ied a rather revo lutiona:cy thing , and many o f the Coal Operators were frankly opposed to it. I -really think i t has done so~ethin£ f or the coal business, inasmuch as i t has cut o ut cut -throat co mp e tition, continual bidding for bus i ness ::ind s_elling coal below co st, and this year 1 kno\'J, in this vi cini ty, comprising District V of the Ro.cky Mountai n States , t.rie cororrnrcia l operators have really made so me money, al though their production bas not incr~ased perceptibly due to the very mild weather condi ti one. The worst thing we have founa is the ~egulation of hours. In this p..,.rt of the country. there are no indus tri es , nothing but the coal mines, the result being that, under the eight-hour day , six days per week, when peak production occurred. men ,1ere allo\·,ed to v1ork this much time , 'a m some over-time . In the period of lo v1 production, curing the summe r months, they went in debt to the me r cantil·e sto res, and then. ciuring the winter montp.e, <iue to the privilege of u orking over- time, they maoe more t han .their expenses, paying their delinquent bills, with the result that they gene r a lly finished the year with their bill s paid a nd sometimes \"Jith a small creo.it ba1ance. This year has been diffe'rent. \'ii th the'five-day week very rigidly adhered to, the men have not been able to mak e as much money and are therefore not very well ea tisfied. !:!i:any of them wo uld prefer to .go back to at least the a-ix-day Tieek , with seven hours .1,1er day . .Neither lui.ve the Operators oeen satisfied, as our i>eriod of peak prociuc tion lei.eta but from t\'10 to three months, �2 and with the reduced output, uhich amo'lJ,n ts to about fourteen per cent, consequent u 1Jon the institution of the seven-hour day, it ha·s been necessary for our Operatorf.l to go out and hire additional men to t ake care of the peak load. The other nine months of the year, they do not require these men, v:ith the result that retaining them in the servi ce reduces the annual eaxnin6 s o:f the othe r er.1vloyes . Ur. Eugene McAuliffe, the President of our Company, cmo. a numbei· of other Operators mac.le the request of the Code Authorities that for ·twenty weeks of the year the u ork y1eek be extended, but this received scant consideration in Wasbini:;ton . I am attaching herenith a coJ.JY of a brief gotten up by ~ r. :.IcAulif'fe, as Chairlill:..n , -r1hich shoYis very conclusively the l&.rge s1>read in operations bet\'1een our low p:roauction an d our hie)l. pro~uction -in the Rocky a ountain States. llr. llcAuliffe has developed ·so me splendid arguments against the continuation of the shorter· \'.ork week. This has been filed v;i th the Code Authorities. I think, hov1eve1', that •.:1e have p~bably reached the point where both daily and weekly hours ,:ill not be rec.uced further. The thirty-hour r,eek has been a. \'7ond erful rallyine; cry for the Labor officials. to obtain members f or their 'Unions, but, .lllt.hough we ·nev er know what Congress v1 ill do, I believe the point h a s been reached ~where the Administratio~ realizes that to reduce the hours v1ould a l so incxeaise the co st of production greatly, making, it s ti 11 harder to corat,1 ete ,1i th other fuels , such as gas and oil. \71 th the election out of the way, there seems to be a better unaerstand ing between Buain ess and the Ao mini stxa tion. the Govemment seemingly no\7 des i r ine;; to go a lon€; with Ino.uutry in E..D orderly wey in an attempt to bet the inuustries going on a more stable basis. Ue still have many unemployed, and the Government ·,7111 no doubt spend a great o.eal of money fo.r relief this winter, the Government plan evidently now to, as far as possible, get away from relief work as soon aa they can and let private • industries take over the load. \'/ hile there is not a great deal of improvement in industri a l conditions, the trend seems to be upward. Our Company mined about 300,000 tons more this year than Y1e did last year, bll:! the trend of the Commercial Coal Comp.mies is a lso upward. While the benefit may not be per-· ceptible, the f<lct that we ere on the up-grade is encouragir~g. Recent elections indicated a.rather sueeping D_emo-• · crati c ma jority, but the .majority was really a non-v artisan one, inasmuch as people seened to feel that the only hope for �3 .the country lay i 11_ .;o i nb clong ui th the Government in work ing out the pl211s they ·have i n ~ind . !:Z'lny of the Republ icans voting Denocratic to acconpl ish thi s.

I £Jjfo~~ ~ H EA D OFF I CE , 5th October , 1933. George B. Pryde, Esq . , Vice-President and General Manager, The Union Pacific Ooal Company, Rock Springs, Wyoming, U .s .A. Dear Mr. Pryde, I am greatly obliged by your letter of 19th September, which arrived dl.;lTing my absence on a fortnight's holiday. It is very interesting to us here to learn the detail of the plan which your President has outlined for the • operation of the coalfields of' America-. It is somewhat of' a gamble, and certainly will be a great upheaval. Difficulties are certain to emerge, particularly at the beginning, but al.most certainly, also later on, and the se , I think, can only be solved with patience, goodwill, and a desire to find a solution, exhibited by all concerned. Restriction of output will be effected by the restriction in the hours of labour. In our country, as you know, we definitely restrict the number of tons which .each owner ie permitted to raise during each quarter of the year. This is more definite than restricting the hours of labour, as increased efficiency will almost certainly result, and the tonnage of coal produced may not be definirely altered. You will doubtless find enormous difficulty in regulating prices eo as to keep each colliery equally employed. This, I think, can better be a chieved by allocating to each owner a percentage of the coal to be raised and sold in his district, penalising those who exceed their percentage, and compensating those who fall short. Whatever/ �~ -..·-····...Ge.o.r.ga .B.....Pr.y.de__:, ··..Es.q ...:,,... Rock. Springs, ..W.yoming, ~~~.............2 .. . U . S.A. Whatever scheme is· adopted will, I think. only ultimately succeed if the operators wish it to be successful and cooperate in spirit.as well as in letter. That is the difficulty which we have here. Any a.mendmenta on the British Scheme can only be carried out· if eighty-five ·per cent. of the owners - judged by tonnage.. are in favour, and, unfortunately, there is generally a minority of more than fifteen ·per cent. who desire personal freedom, and who generally find arguments which more or less block any progress. The coal trade is so intricate and complicated that a ·code of regulations is nearly impossible to impose upon unwilling personnel. There is always some way out, or some way of rendering the scheme ineffective, unless worked with goodwill and~ desire . to succeed on the part of at least ninety per cent. of the opera.tore. We shall, in this country, watch the progress in America very careful1y. r ·take it that the President has practically arbitrary powers, whereas; in our country, Parliament will only move provided eighty-five per cent . of the operators are in favour. Although this vital difference exists, I venture to think it wiil be found that the President's dictates will not be effective unless some similar percentage of American operators conscientiously endeavour to make the Code effective. It would appear to me that your Company, already having adopted modern methods of negotiating with your workmen, as well as doing other things, will stand to gain through the operation of the Code, as it will bring your competitors in line with yourselves. I hope this will be so, and that you, personally, are keeping well, in order to deal effectively with the difficulties which will, almost certainlf, emerge. Yours faithfully, �Se!) temb er 19 , 1933 Mr. c. Au~ust Carlocr , ii&nati nL Director The Fife Coal Company, L i rnite6 Leven, Fife Scotland Dear llr.

Peter Dun sire . ~ith recar<.l to the Inoustrial Recovery Act,! am enclosin£ herewith a co py for you, I am al so enclosing a copy of the text of the Coal Cod e a.s sit:.,ned last night by President Roosevelt, tof,ether with a copy of our present Agre~ent anci wa~e scale with the Uni tee. Mine r.oi·kers of .America. I am acivi sed, however, that two g roups of opera to rs, those in Kentucky anc.: those in Alabama, h~ve not yet sif ned, a."lc. are holding off for lo\'1er \'!age rates. You \'/ill note quite a disparity i n the i·ateQ, the hope being at ·the start that there ,1oulo be n early uni1'0.zn1 \·;ag,e rates, but · the Gouthem states have ccnsiste n·l;ly held o ut for a much louer \'1 age scale on account of much better living con6itions in the Gouth, that is, a more equable clicate than in the llorthem part o f the United States . In liorthe rn Colorado. al so, the rate is ~; 5 .OO per oay , ,vhile in Southem Colorado they y1ill pay C5 .44 per o.ay. One Compm1y in Colo ralo at _present is 1,1aying t 5 . 25 per ciay, anc, this rate· no tioubt r.i ll be continued. The iilll!letiiate effect of the N. R.A . v1ill be to Unionize all of the coal fields. The United lline workers of .America, the <.ominant coo.l mining trade union in this country, \'.J hich has been los int> members largely since 1~22, ,,ill no\'J be able to increase its memberahi_p very materially, o.a the !rational Presiaent, :tr. John L. Lewis, nae been sitting in \'/ith the ~ing of the Code ana agreements. The n .R.A . will not affect \'lyomint, to any appreciable extent, as the State of :lyooing has been fully Unionizeci since 1~07, ~nc. we :have been pizy inL a comp~i·a ti vely high basic WE scale, ~ 6 . 42 ,Per <iay. We feel th~t the comm~rcial opera to in :1:,·ominE; will benefit to some extent from commercial sa] bec&-use of the fact thut Unioniz in& will bring higher cos �" Mr. C.

Of course the n .R.A. ·w ill not increase the total a~ount of the coal to be marke ted. 'IY'hat everyone is trying to co a t th e present time is to increase _p:ro <..uction ano sales to the ~oint they uere four years ago. There h a s been a very great recession in output s ince the boom days of 1J29. J any in this count ry, like the people in the British Isles , are wonaerint:, how the .I.LR .A. is e,o ing to ,,ork out. Thc:. t is a q uestion I woulc not attempt to answer., out we de, kno -.\ this, that things cannot be worse, not only in the coal ~.:iining inaustry, but in a ll the othe r inc.ustrie s , than they have been in the 1 ast four years, and all are hopeful that some benefit \"J ill accrue fro m the ai).Plication of the 11 .R .A. I i., ill say this, t ha t there is very little Poli ti cs being talked no,;. \7hil e President Roosevelt is a Democrat, the leaders of what has been the dominant party in this country for y uars, the Republican party, are a ': :>staining from critici sm of the IJI'Ogram, and are all tryine to be helpful , hopine, th.at at least some benefit will accrue fro m the a_t>plication of this act, 2nc. that a contagious feeling, .o ;f .confia.ence \·1ill be established. The results are largely psy·cholck-.,ical , v,1i th people E,etting into a better frame of mind. .No one kno 1:;s of any better plan, and, uhile ~resident Roosevelt's plan may not be entirely free from criticism, the fact th&t no better plan li.as been advanced h a s led l)eople to believe that his :pl an should at least be g i ven a feir trial, a nc the larger number o f people in this country are getting behina the pm gram. There is some improvement in general business conc.itions in the Uni t ed States c. urin6 recent months. \'l b.ether that be from the natural economic conaitions. or from the effects of the Recovery Act, I am not prepared to say, but the fact re:nains that business in most lines is improving. • The national Recovery Act embodies many revolutionary thine:,s, many things to which, a fe-c-1 years ago , fe\·1 people v1oulc. h&ve i;iven their a.C:herence to , ana al.moot everyone realizes th&t it is a great e:xperiment, but, 1 0elieve, out of it a ll will co~e so~e good.

Dear Mr . Pryde, Thanks very much for your letter of July 13th , which is very interesting, and I am always glad to exchange views. Regarding Peter Duneire, I remember the man very Be we.a manager at one of our pits e. good many years ago, and ultimately went to the Wemyss Coal co., owners of the Wellesley Pit. I liked the man very much. well. With reference to the National Industry Recovery Act and the elimination of cutthroat competition, this is a subject which interests us on this side very much. Perhaps you could let me have a copy of the Act itself and a few remarks as to how you think it is going to operate and how the cutthroat competition is going to be eliminated. The German example is always before us, and we have been trying to work something out in this country in recent years, but with very modified success. Any views and opinions from American experience and practice will be greatly appreciated. The difficulty here finds its roots, I think, in the natural individualism which exists, and with some 1,600 separate owners in Great Britain, ' eaoh working under conditions differing so greatly within each coalfield, end still more so as between each ooalf'ield, it is terribly difficult to get 85% of the owners to agree upon/ �:Yo.- . • o _'_ -· ··-···•· • -George .. B. Priyde, Esq."" Wyoming, U.S .A. upon any definite course of action which is going to mean restriction and interference with individual freedom. The grouping of collieries into larger units by amalgamation is also looked upon with disfavour, chiefly, I believe, from personal reasons. A man may be a Managing Director of hie ovm small concern, and may be very comfortable with his Directors. He may also have educated sons with the special view of following in his footsteps, and looks forward to a period of lees arduous work through hie sons devoting their youth to the job. In the event of amalgamation, auch a man might become merely a cog in the wheel, subject to displacement, and with a complete want of security and a sacrifice of the comfortable position in which he presently finds himself. Such a one has possibly got powerful influence in his district, and, naturally, he finds himself opposed to amalgamation. On the other hand, unless the number of units is reduced, the likelihood of common action is also minimised. It is all very difficult, and if trade gets better the likelihood of real co-operation will become still lees. It 1·s common ground that there is unnecessary cutthroat competition in this country, but the elimination of it is of enormous difficulty, and I would very much like to know how the matter is viewed on your side. You mention inflated valuation as being an obstacle 1n the case of amalgamations, and this ia an evil which must be avoided. It always seems to me to be the simplest course to arrive at relative valuations, each undertaking being valued in the same method, and the percentage of the total capital to be ear-marked to each Company arrived at in the form of a percentage, the whole naturally totalling to 100%. If these relative figures can be arrived at, the total capital can be fixed at a moderate and reasonable figure, the total amount not being important, because, after all, each Company would receive its percentage of the combined profit, whether the total capital be greater or less, but the real difficulty seems to be of a personal nature, and practically every district has enormous volume of opinion in opposition to amalgamation schemes, and they are likewise opposed to schemes for the sharing of the trade and the elimination of competition, for reasons which are very simil~r. The/ �I> 'c%,""' ·· 0:.......................... Geor.ge ....B . . Pr.y.de., . Eaq......... Wyoming, u. s.A. The copies of the Employee' Magazine a.re very interesting. One or two uompanies in this country publish monthly magazines, which are useful in many respects, but whioh require much organisation to make them a success, and I have never yet found time, among so many other interests, to devote to real consideration of the question. In my opinion, the original pamphlet which you sent me was of more practical utility, and this I handed to our Planning Department, and out of' which I hope they are gleaning usef'Ul suggestions. In regard to the other matters, I am enclosing with this a copy of the Eleventh Annual Report of the Safety in Mines Research Board , which will show you how we stand in regard to hate, g~oves, and other devices for the minimising of minor accidents, and also the year's progress in many other matters affecting safety. Mr. Charles Carlow Reid, my cousin, and also a Director a.nd Works Manager of this Company, is a member of this uommittee. Perhaps you may remember Mr. Reid in the old days. ilso you may find something interesting in the Seventy-Ninth .Annual Report of the Mining Association of Great Britain, of' which enclosed is also a copy . Perhaps some day an opporttn1ity will arise for our meeting and discussing matters, which would be more satisfactory, but meantime I shall be happy to continue exchanging views by letter, a.nd wish you every success and prosperity. Yours sincerely, Enclo.

A.t the outset, it should be made clear that the object of this paper is not to discuss in any wa.y exhaustively the argument~ for and against colliery amalgamations, but to deal only with the practical side of the question, assuming that the grouping has already been accomplished. The expression " consolidation " is understood in this paper to mean amalgamations of all the collieries in a clearly-defined mining area, where the collieries are adjacent, and where the leaseholds adjoin. The merger of collieries which are many miles apart and frequently �1931-1932.) CARLOW--'l'HFl MANAGEMENT OF COLLIERY CONSOLlDATIONS . 3 in quite separate coalfields may be an amalgamation, but is not a " consolidati on " as underst ood in this paper. No attempt will be made to deal withThe ethics of compulsory amalgamations, as against fusions of a voluntary nature. Ca pi tal security a nd stabili ty. Benefit in price result ing from consolidations. The facilitating of the operation of marketing schemes through r educing t he number or owners in a district. The facil itating of the adjustment of lease terms. P ossible obj ections in regard to the restricting of " private enterprise." P ossible advnnlages in rega rd to the reduct ion of overhead expenses. Better p urchasing of mnte ri als, or Advnnlages a nd disadvantages of " Holding " companies as against the financial fusion or p resent owners. Ench o[ t hese qucslions is of su fficient importance to call for separate discussion, bu t this paper will be confined to matters of practical management, h adng in view t he getting of the coal at the cheapest cost oi prod uction. Tho fundamental and all-important matter is efficiency in production, and the present question is whet her or not the cost of production of the coal output of the country will, or will not, be reduced by the grou ping of all the collieries which already exist within ono natural conlfield, provided that the natural coalfield is not too enormous, and wo1·king them collectively under unified control. Much has been sa.id, but litt le written, on the subject of workingcost-per- ton as between collieries worked individually and the same collie1·ies worked collectively as a group, and it is only when the arguments for and ago.inst are reduced to writing, and the result laid open for cri t icism and discussion by persons qualified to give an opinion, that definite decisions of value can be reached. Certain large-scale amalgamations have not been successful, but whether this is due to the nctual cost or working the coal, to over-capitalization, excessive overhead charges, defective organization and management, or other causes, has never been sufficiently analysed or revealed. I now have the advantage of addressing practical colliery managers and mining engineers. I hope to express my views quite plainly, and look forward to the further advantage of your honest critici ~ Among the a1·guments which have been put forward as reasons why the cost of production will be adversely affected by grouping, the following have been mentioned:(a) Loss of " personal touch " and personal interest. Where the practical management of the collieries is in the hands of the owner, or the principal owner, the personnl interest may have considerable influence. If the owner is also manager or general manager, and is in personal contact with the workers, it is possible that he may get some things done more cheaply than otherwise would be possible, or that his organization may be better than normal, but the numbe1· of cases where these considerations would have much weight must be comparatively few, and the influence on the whole cannot be very considerable. Where several generations of individuals succeed one another in the ownership and control of an individual colliery, that owner may be likely to devote himself with greater assid,1ity and determination to make that colliery a success than otherwise might be t he case, but such �4 TRANSAOTlONS-lNSTITUTlON OF lll~u'\"G ENGINEERS. [Vot. LXXXIII. 11n individu11l is equ11lly likely to have a very high sense of duty towards any group of collieries which may be placed under his charge. (b) That the standard of management in the most success!'ul collieries may come down to that of the lowest. This is a suggestion which will not commend itselt: to the mining engineers of Scotland. The inference is that the management of a colliery with a cost below the average would take t he line t hat it is useless for him to exert himself unduly while others in simila r conditions had cost-sheets which compared unfavourably with his. o!y opinion is that there is no foundation fo r this suggestion, but, on the contrary, the rivalry in regard to efficiency would be quite t\S keen as 'l\'hen the collieries were competing together indh·iduo.lly. For my po.rt, I am of opinion that g reater efficiency and cheaper cost~ cnn be achieved by the consolidation of nil the collieries in o. considerable area for management purposes, a nd I fr ankly indte criticism of the reasons which lead to that conclusion . Local condit.ions must always be considered, but a mong the runny advantages of grouping of adjacent collieries may, in most cases, be included the following : (1) T!IE TB:Rouon-womnNG FRO:U ONE CoLLrnn,·s L E.\ SEIICJLO TO A.:-o-ruER IN Soon JJ.. 1.Ll.."l'NER as TO BRING THE CoA.L .Fno:i.1 A.N, P .\RI oF T HE CoMDlNED FIELD TO THE oIOST CONVENIENT PIT. This is an adYantage which will be realized in almost e,·c1·y ca e of the grouping of adjacent collieries, and in most cases will be of g r eat importance. Every mining engineer is familiar with t his phase of the question, which I need only mention here. It is not necessary to break barriers and physically to unite the wol'l,ings of the collieries concei-ned. Baniers may be maintained, but stt-aightened out and altered in position in such a manner as to securn g reatest efficiency and the cutting down of transport underground, both of men and of minerals, with considerable advantage in cost. In reality, it comes to the redistribution of the ,wailable areas of coal to be worked to each winding-shaft, lengthening the life of many collieries, cutting down underground transport (which every manager knows is a Yery serious item), reducing the length of airways and facilitating ventilation, and rendering workable certain areas in the immediate future which othe1·wise would be deferred for very many years.

There is frequently considerable economy to be realized in gathe1·ing the water arising from several collieries ut a central pumping station and dealing with the bulk by large electi-ic pumps, rather than maintaining pumping plant, with the necessary attendants, at each collie1·y. 'l'his has been proYed on many occasions, and is a matter of importance wherever adjacent collieries are worked in one ownership. Central pumping schemes are in existence in many coalfields, and would be facilitated by the common ownership of the collieries concerned. Similarly, ,·entilation can often be improved, and considerable i:aving be effected in the length of airways to be maintained in adjacent collieries, by making suitable roadways through the barriers. The 0_0111 in the barriers themselves can frequently be worked, thereby }?re~e:°twg loss of valuable coal. Needless to say, there are cases where habihty ~o spontaneous combustion, or dangerous water conditions, may render it �1931-1932.) OARLOW-T~ E lU.NAOEMENT OF COLLIERY CONSOLIDATIONS. 5 wise to retain ba rriers bet ween each colliery, but these cases are excepti.onal, a nd mining engineers will at once recall cases where the 11nified contr ol of adjacent collieries has at once brought about considerable advantage in these directions.

L a rger units worki ng at full capacity generate more cheaply, and less <:a pitnl is locked u p in spare p la nt-boilers, generators, etc., in a large stnlion thnn in seYer a l sma ller stations of the same aggregate power, while the maintenance of overhead t ransmission lines is not now a serious m nttcr . 'l'he Central Power -station a t Kelty Colliery, in Fife, is not now of the most modern desig n, but the cost per unit delivered to 1·olliorics up to H} m iles distan t, including generating costs-wages, ~lores, fu r nishings, coal, insun ince, general charges, etc., and including also trnnsiorma lion and tr ansmission costs and losses, is 0· 165d. per unit. The number of uni ts generat ed during the year 1931 was 05,0:34,000, and if 15 per cen t. be a llowed for interest and depreciation, t he pri ce per uni t within the existing area of supply would be about 0·3cl. Local gcmerat,ing-sta ti ons a r e much more expensive, and power from a P ower Com pany is wellnig h pr ohibitive, particularly in cases where the powc1·-consumption, through heavy pumping or for other reasons, is considcr nble. Central workshops and stores are introduced whl:!rever possible, sp ecia lly trni_ned workmen, with machine tools, particularly selected for recurring work and which can be kept constantly employed on specialized work, have proved an economy and experience shows that, with modern r oad t r a nsport and efficient cranage facilities, a breakdown job can be as speedily performed in a modern central workshop as in local workshops situated at individual collieries, and at less cost. Ca r eful costing at well-equipped central work.shops proves thut, taking t ime a nd materials plus 60 per cent. for overhead charges, coal-cutter parts, haulage-gears and colliery machinery of the usual type can be t urned out a t pdces one-quarter to one-half of the purchase price in the m arket . Definite cases in substantiation of this statement can readi ly be quoted if required, but t he saving can only be realized whe1·e the work is on a sufficiently large scale to warrant the installation of special machine-tools and to keep these tools constantly employed. Better control is also possible where stores are issued from a centre. The amount of dead stock is reduced, and road transport makes possible efficient distribution over a wide area. Much has been said and written for and against the pooling of wagons, but, so long as the control of the wagons remains with the management of the group of collieries owning them, the increased efficiency is undoubted. (4) THE CLOSING OF LESS PROFITABLE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF Mom;: PROFITABLE PITS. In e,e1·y coalfield, some collieries are naturally less favoured than -0thers. If each is in separate ownership, then all struggle together, endeavouring to make the best of existing conditions, and probo.bly few of them reach, in normal times, the maximum output of which they o.re capable. If grouped in one ownersbip, however, the collieries having the best natural conditions can be developed to maximum production, �■ 6 TRANSACTIONS- INSTITUTION OF W.NING ENGINEER$ . [ V OL, LXXXIlI. and, conversely, t hose less favourably si t ua ted , a nd perhaps near the end of their useful life, can be r educed in out put, or shut down temporarily or permanently. With r egulation of output in a district, either through the oper a tion of a m a rketing scheme, or by n a turnl rest riction of ma rkets, this situation is emphasized, a nd, un fortunately, these conditions are likely t o a pply mor e or less constantly in the near future. The result of such rearrangemen t must be a r eduction in cosl over the tonnage produced in t he district , and which cnn only be realized by grnuping under one ownershi p. (5) BETTER CONTROL OVER EMPLOYMENT AND WA GES Q umlTIONS . Questions of employment and wages a re not, perhaps, most. suitable for introduction in a paper pr esented to an Institute of Mining Engineers, but deser ve mention in r elation to the subject of t his paper. No one wishes t o rest rict t he freedom of employment of wor kers , nor t o reduce wages unnecessarily, but every ma na ger will agree t hat mnny difficulties would be reduced and the proper regula tion of em ployment facilitated if the collieries in a definite a rea wer e un ified under one control. All these advantages may not be rea lized in every grouping, but , generally, they will hold good, and, on the other han d, it will bo possible to add considerably to the lis t "ithout going beyond the limit of considerat ions which may be included as pertain ing lo practical management. ORGANI ZATION . It may be said that these advantages obtain only in theory, but. that, in practice, an amalgamation of such magnit ude would break down because of inability to control it efficiently. So far as concerns the practical management , this argument does not a ppea r to be well founded, and is probably adYanced without a full a mount of constr uctive consideration being given to the problem. For my part , I do not see any insuperable difficulty. Any pr oposals must be sufficiently elast ic to adapt themselves to local conditions, but the following constructive proposals are put forwa.rd as a general frame.work, which, when filled in with local det a il, will be suitable for the adequate control of the practical work associ ated with a ny consolidation such as is cont emplated in this pa per. The ultimate control must be in the hands of a Boa rd of Directors, of whom several, if the consolidat ion is of an extent t o call for it, should be managing directors, qualified for their duties of controlling the practical management. The number of these managing directors will depend, or should depend, upon the nature, e::s:tent , and complexity of the coalfield to be operated, and no managing direct or should be allotted a greater area than has, in the past, been found suitable for individual control. In the practical management, these managing directors would have to have a large amount of freedom of operation, each within his o,vn area. MANAGING DmEoToR's STAFF. His immediate staff might consist of : a General Works Manager, a. Chief Salesman, a Factor, and an Accountant, . forming, in ordinary circumstances, one complete administrative umt. The work of the Chief Salesman, or of the Factor (in whose hands �1931-1932.)

GENERAL WonKs Mru'IAOEn's STAFF. What is understood us practical management would be under the control of the General Works Manager, and his staff might include tho following:Mines Agen ts, lhe number being determined by local conditions. Employmen t, Burea u, fo r the control of the engagement of the necessary wor kers in the a rea. Planning Department. Chief Bng ineor, who might also be responsible -for the workshops, central stores, central electric power-plant, etc. Sto1·es P ur chase Department. Chief S ur veyor a nd staff. T r a ffic Manager. Preparation Departmen t, responsible for the segregation, blending, and p rop arntion of the coal for the market. 1'he n umber of Mines Agents must be determined by local condit ions, but lhe district a llotted to each must be no greater than that which he cnn reusonul>ly con t rol. He should have as much freedom as is necessary for lhe efficient con trol of t he collieries in his charge. His group of collier ies would be in a defi nite area, each one adjacent to the other, which would be more advantageous than is the case, in many instances, nt p resent, whe1·e n Mines Agent may have charge of collieries scattered at wide inten·als, and sometimes in seven! counties. All the advantages mentioned above would be available to him for the efficient operation of his district, and he would be responsible to the General Works Manager for the cost per ton of the coal produced under his supervision. The establishment of an Employment Bureau has been found to be of considerable benefit. All workers seeking employment are required to give full particulurs with their application for work. There is a degree of fairness in giving employment to certain applicants, and there is an assurance that no workmen insinuate themselves into the employment without proper consideration. No mining organization should be considered complete without a Planning Department, whose duty it would be to plan out new workings, prepare standard costs for each development, decide upon the necessary plant and see to the provision of same when and where required, prepare time analyses of the important operations, and do much of the organization work upon which the underground efficiency so much depends. It is not proposed to enter exhaustively into this matter in this pape1·, but obviously this important work, which is in the nature of efficiency research, can best be done where control is centralized for a considerable area. The Engineering Department requires little comment. This would likewise be under the complete control of the General Works Manager and his Mines Agents for the most efficient supply of po,ver and the necessary engineering work required at the collieries under the control of the Works Manager. The Stores Purchase Department would be centralized under the supervision of the General Works Manager and his Mines Agents, to insure the most efficient purchase of materials required, nnd that these materials comply in the fullest possible degree with the requirements fl �8 'l' RJ.N:;AC'l'.IONi:i-1).STITUTlON OF lll N ING ENG INEE RS . ( \ -oL . LXXXIII. for the particular pmposc in the particulur collieries fol" which they are intended. The Chief Surveyo1· would have the benefit of a ll the collieries in the group being adjacent, and his work would be ,·cr y much simplified t hrough 1.his consideration alone. 'l'he duty of the Traffic Manager in the distribution of ernply wagons throughout a consolidated area would be cons iderably simplified and the ea rnings of the traders' wagons consider a bly increased. It would be of advantage to impose u sma ll <lemun-ago cha rge on t raders' wagons detained beyond a definite number of days ut :my colliery, a nd the efficiency of the work of the Traffic Depa 1·tment woulll be illdica ted by the amount of the resulting demun-age account s. Where consider able numbers of traders' wagons are invok ed, the increased efficiency may be a, not unimportant matter, apart from t he adYontagc oi having empty wagons where and when required . 'l'he Preparation Department, with the necessar y laboratory nnd staff, could operate more effectively in the case of n. consolidation of the collieries in a definite area. The super vision oi' l he cleaning and washing processes presents no novel fea tures, but. 1he segregation of couls 0£ particular quality for certain definite pur poses would be g rea tly facilitated. A consolidation would have severnl centr a l wa~hers, a nd -an individual colliery probably only one. E ach cen lrnl wa her could be set aside for a definite quality of coal sometimes with great :Hh-an tuge, while in an indi·ddual collie1·y washer all g r ades oi small coa ls are mixed together, the1·eby losing any particula1· charnctei-istics. The advantage of this facility has been found to exceed cons ider a bly the cost of transport to the central washer. The pooling of the washing capacity is also of benefit, while an efficient laborntor y, such us a consolidation would warrant, has become almost a necessity if the marketing of the coal is to be effected to best advant age. An administrath·e unit such as I have just described ma)· be suitable for au output of 3 to -! million tons, though, in other c ircumstances, it may l>e cnpnble of dealing with G to 8 million tous per annum, depending upon the extent, nature, and complexity of the coalfield . If the consolidation is of greater magnitude then t"·o o r more such administrative units would be necessary, but the generul plan would be the same. '.l'he tendency in the past has perhaps been to over-cent1·alize, and when the central office has become overwhelmed with detail, decentrnlizntion has been hurriedly resorted to. The Sales and othe1· depa1·tmeuts call for cent.-alizntion, but as regards the mining work I an1 strongly in favour of leaving sufficient freedom to the mining officio.ls to enable them to deal immediately and energetically with the difficulties and dangers which surround, to t1 greater or less extent, all mining operntions. b CONCLUSION, it should be repented that this paper must not be regarded as seeking to state the whole case for consolidation. It touc~es only one part, although an important part of the case. It deals only with the mining side. It seeks to show that the cost per ton of coal produced . by a consolidation of collieries should be less than that of the same collieries worked individually, and it gives in some detail_ a gen~ral sketch of organization considered suitable for the control of consolidations of considerable mngnitude. . The constructive suggestions are t he result of personal practic_a1 experience and it is hoped that the discussion which may follow '~111 • will enable any doubt 01· difficulty to be sn t·is f actonly be such as r emoved. /' ' �' 1032- Ul:S:i.)

'' Mr. John Bilsland (Edinburg h): After I ha d read this paper the condusion I reached was that the1·e was not a great deal to discuss about it.. The general or rangement and suggestions put forward by the Presi<leot nro so complete a nd logical thnt one can hardly criticize them. I felt, I could not n<l,·ance any a r g uments against them. It occurred to me when L11e PresidenL dealt wit h t he advantages to be gained by the cult ing or 1·emm·nl of 1Ja 1Tier s l ha L t his was not always so easy to ,11 rnngc. Of course, wo now have the Mining Industry Act to assist us when~ obJection mny l.,o raised by mineral proprietors. '!'here is nuothcr point which J think should be specially noted, and Lhat is in reg,ird to what is stated in the paper about the cost of genc.-aiing olcct ricity at Kelty Collier y . To me it is a serious reflection ou the Grid ~ystem a n~l cost of distl'ibution. Those who are paying for po,,e1· <list r ibu!ed through the Grid system must be interested to learn how collieries are deal ing with their own electricity supply so successfully . tf a <'ollicry compnny had power lo sell nt the price charged under the Gr id supply il w11uld be nblo lo mnke a handsome profit from the enterprise. While reading the pnper , my mind t·ecalled Mr. Ca.l'low's Presidential Aclclr,!~'-· wherei11 he drew at tent ion to the importnnce of knowing nil the fal'to;, even to the int imate deta ils about cost, for all the operation.~ carried 0 11 at the pits. A costing organization to provide this would, I ussumc, be necessary in the amalgamation. When we talk of amalgamation, we a ssoci a te with it the object of some reduction in the cost of production of coal. 1'hose who are enguged in the coal-industry naturally think of a ma lgamation from t heir own personal point of "iew, and how such merge1·s are going t o affect them individually. The reduction of cost is likely to be obt ained, nt least pa1·tia.lly, through a reduction in per sonnel. Possibly the point I am raising is quite outside the scope of this pa per, but it seems to me that if personnel is going to be reduced consequent on amalgamation, the industry still has to support directly or indirectly the personnel that has been displaced. Mr. Thomas Brown (Glasgow): I would like to associate myself with the remnd,s made by Mr. Bilsland on the question of electric power. In this connexion I have frequently to examine colliery costs, and have recently been impressed by the very low figui-e at which certain colliery undertakings are now generating electric cunent. I say quite frankly that they do not all attain the interesting figures quoted by l\Ir. Carlow. I do say, however, that I feel convinced that in this department at least, the adoption by a g1·oup of collie1·ies of a central power-station properly conceived nod efficiently handled would undoubtedly result in a very conside1·able saving in the cost of electric power. That would be specially noticeable where, as frequently happens, u. number of the units in the proposed merger bud been obtaining current from a public supply company. Where the 1·ate fo1· such was based on maximum demand, I feel sure that no one more than the colliery manager would welcome the change. • 'l'rans. 111st. Alfa. E. , 1031-1032, vol.

My dear Mr. Pryde, I need not say how pleased I was to receive your letter of 24th May, and to have the friendly and appreciative criticism of a Fifer who has reached the position which you now occupy in the mining world of your adopted country . I am sorry that I did not have an opportunity of meeting you when you were last in Fife. Apart from the social side of such a meeting, I would have been very happy indeed to have discussed with you the mining problems with which we are all more or leas confronted, particularly during this time of world-wide depression. There is no doubt but that this unprecedented period of bad trade has stimulated ingenuity in various directions, and in an old-established conservative industry such as ours it is perhaps a little more difficult to introduce new methods than it may be in America. While that is so, we are fortunate in Scotland in having both officials and miners more amenable to change than in some of the other districts in Great Britain. we are all endeavouring to eliminate waste, and the greatest field for improvement . in this direction seems to be in lose of time on the part of workers employed in the mines. The first thing obviously necessary is t ·o ; �g;....,;'. :::....G.e .or.ge. B ......Pry.d e.,....Esq . , Rock... Spr.ing.s.., ......W.yoming, ~ u.s.A. to get at the facts, and, secondly, a complete system of time studies seems to be the obvious line of approach. I had some difficulty in introducing the subject. It may be that the managers were unwilling to reveal the percentage of loss which time studies taken for the first time exhibit, but I told the officials not to show them to me, at the outset at least, but to keep the information to themselves until the worst of the difficulties were overcome, and I would be quite content to see their time st~dies when they were a little more favourable. We are making progress , and gradually reducing our costs. What is involved ia an enormous mass of detail, and colliery managers have got to adapt themselves to this and learn to handle masses of figures, which is a radical departure from old time methods. The papers of the Mining Institute are generally reproduced in"The Oolliery Guardian," and perhaps you are a subscriber. In any case, I enclose a copy of a recent paper read before the Institute, which may be interesting, and on which I shall welcome your frank criticism should you be disposed to offer it. Perhaps you knew my late father, who for fifty years controlled this Company, and under whose management it was developed. In conclusion, I wish to thank you very much for your letter and the booklet, which contains many useful suggestions, which, with your permission, I shall exploit in so far as circumstances are similar ..

It certainly must be well worth while and there should not be any excuse for your Officials of workmen not doing their work correctly and at the same time you do not ask them to do the impossible or anything that is out odt the way. I would say that you simply ask them to use plain comm.on senoe which, after all, is something that a whole lob of us do not use often enough. Again thanking you for your kindness and generosity and assuring you that we will be olily too glad to have any of your Officials visit us at any time that they may be passing this way. ; ; a l y yours ~ M. ii. co~n, Engineer.

N. Bayless, Vice-Pres. & Gen. Mgr. Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Mr. Bayless: I want to thank you for returning my glass case, which I imagine I left in your car. I thought about it after we had driven a few miles out of Rock Springs, and both Jimmy and I figured I had left it in your car when I took the glasses out of the case at Superior. I want to thank you again for the time you spent with us and the things ~e s aw around your properties. We were both impressed by the fine equipment you have and the good engineering that has been applied. The way you have standardized on equipment and simplified the general operations is particularly interesting to me personally. Since returning I have checked the number of different mine cars we have at our mines, and I find that we have 8 separate mine cars, with coal capacities rangine from 2,520 lb. to 10,600 lb. We also have great variation in voltage used; three mines use 220 AC for mining equipment, one 550 DC and one 440 AC. It seems to me that we have a lot to do to standardize and simplify some of these things. We do not think we will take much part in the increased coal capacity in connection with the announced expansion of the pig iron industry in Utah. From all I could learn, they are going to open new mines south of Horse Canyon, which I understand is also in Government ground. These openings would be about 3 miles south of the tovm of Columbia or about 7 miles south of Sunnyside. They have done some surface ··pro~pecting around the coal outcrop in this vicinity with favorable results. I suppose the R.F.C. and the Defense Plant Corporation think . it more advisable to keep the operations unscrambled with existing ones, but this will no doubt delay the day the desired production can be obtained. I think we can solve the problem of Sunnyside without this Government business, and I am not much disappointed in the outcome. Trust that you can find time soon to come out our way and let us return your many courtesies. CPH:AO C aude P.

The trial of this action recently held at Laramie, involved on].ythe equitable issues O . The petitibn,' among. other things, alleges fraudulent intent on the part of the partnership and. the members thereofo The defendant argues that the plaintiff has failed to nrove fraud and therefore the action should be dismissed. As to defendant 1 e contention of no proof of fraud it is correct as no actual fraud. was proved by the plaintiff. However, under the allegations of the petition I do not think it was incumbent on the state to prove actual fraud and a failure to do so does not constitute a failure of proof or entitle the defendant to an order of dismissal. The petition in addition to the allegation of fraudulent· intent alleges the ultimate fact, and ~n the absence of an attack is sufficient. It may be that more th2n one cause of sction is alleged, but if so, defenda.nt he,s not asked that they be separately stated and numbered. The motion to dismiee mnde by defendant at the close of plaintiff rs· case and renewed at the close of all the evidence will be denied.. • The ~riginal incorporatore of Nugget Coal Co. were Swenson, Yates and Johnson.· Swenson and Yates-being the co-partners doing business as Nugget Coal Co., received for the nartnershiu orooerty conveyed to the corporation, 6500 shares of the corporate ~to~k of the v~lue of $65,000 (par value of stock $10.00). Mr. Johnson contributed $100.00 for which he received 10 shares of stock. The corporation ·was created with the ·whole of the property and funds of the partnership, except the nominal sum of $100.00. Subs,e quently ·172 shares of stock were sold to various people. Mr. Swenson ·now owns 6500 shares of stock, having purchased that of Mr. Yates. He is President, Treasurer, and General Manager and he seems to be in control of the corporation. It app~ars from the evidence that the corporation intended to take over all credits and to assume.all the liabilities of ·the partners~ip. �- 2 - De f e ndant see ms to contend that the transaction between the partne rsh i-p.and corporation was a s ale As shown, tpe co-par~ners were pai d in stock of the corporation for the ·whole physical _-pr op er t y and assets of the Nugg~t Co al Co., · a coI:artnership p and t.n.ey were the principal incorporators of the Nugget ·Coal Coo, a cor'!)oration. · As applied to- corporations, · i t is generally he ld to i ndicate a consolida tion rather than a .s al e if payment is _mad e i n stock of the purchasing corpor&tlon. No~e Ann. Case 1913 E 1046. The legal effect of such a r ule is apparent. • 0 The ph.ysical pro-perty of .the partnership and the corporation are identical, the corporation is composed of substantially the same stockholders who own all but a few shares, ana. appe ars to be a mere continuation of the partnership - there is no substantial change of 01,rnership. It does not seem equitable that under the circumstances disclosed by this case that the court should reach a conclusion contrary to that already indicated. Our Supreme Court .has held: 11 If principles of J.:aw and equity both appear in the case, the latter must be given preference, un~ess a positive statute forbids." 49 Wyo. bottom Page 431 A decree ms.y be entered to the effect that the Nugget Coal Co., a corporation, is the alter - ego of the Nugget Coal Co., a co-partnership.

PA. June 30, 1931. Mr. I. N. Bayless, Asst. General Manager, Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Viyoming. Dear Sir: Tie have spent the last feu• days discussing and considering the application of what ue learned at your mines to our omi • conditions . . we find that the time \7e spent at Rock Springs has given us a fine background of information that will enable us to go a long ways in our omi mechan­ ization plans and that we \7ill avoid many errors that we would otherwise have made if \7e • had not seen something of your methods. The discussions ue had uith you and your superintendents has also thromi • considerable light on the problems \7hich you encountered in mechanizing your mines to the extent of loading l¾ million tons per year mechanically. Although our problems are different than yours the same control and we feel that the information we obtained is principles uill • invaluable. I received the statements you mailed me which revise practically to date the information as to capital investment, production etc., that was published in the Mining Congress Journal in February 1930, and I appreciate getting this information so quickly after it was requested. In making our estimates this information will be of great value in determining the reasonableness of the capital expenditures we will have to make in order to mechanize any of our mines. 1'.a.y I again express the appreciation and thanks of myself and my operating colleagues t:r. Baylor and Mr. Fancourt for your consideration and hospitality which we feel can never be adequately repaid. If we can ever be of any assistance to you or your organization we would welcome the opportunity to repay your hospitality. Very truly yours, hlining Engineer. �PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK C O MMERCIAL TRUST BUILDING I BROADWAY HE BERWIND-WHITE COAL MINING COMPANY EUREKA BITUMINOUS COAL WINDBER , PA.

Yours very truly, FSS JS �THE HUDSON COAL COMPANY OFFICE OF GENERAL MANAGER CAOWALLAOER SCRANTON , PA. EVANS . JR. Daoember 9th, 193). GENERAL MANAGER Mr. George B. Pryde, Vice President & General Manager, Union Pacific Co al Com:pg.ny, Rock Springs 9 '\Vyoming. Dear Mr. Pryde : This letter is to repeat to you the appreciation that I feel for the magnificent treatment which you and your staff gave to me while I was in Rock Springs. It was very kind indeed of you to devote your tirre to ma, and I assure you that I appreciate your courtesy. The admirable arrangemen ts which were made enabled me to see far mare in two days than I ba.d expected to be able to see. Soma da.v I hope that you will come east and visit the anthracite region so as to observe our development of irechanical loading, and if you do I hope that you will give me an opportunity to entertain you, so that I can, in some small measura, repay the kindness which you have shown me. No doubt Mr. Saunders has told you of our hectio trip to Craig. The liveryman certainly "pulled a hot one" on us when he took us out on tlle desert in a broken-down Willys-Knight instead of the Cadillac which ha was supposed to :pro duoe. However, we got through all right, and I am hoping that Saunders returned safely. I have a card from him dated Baggs, Wyoming, December 4th, m.ich leads me to believe that he had to s~nd the night the re. I came east from Denver: stopped off in Omaha for ~day, and attempted to fly here from Chicago, but only got as far as Cleveland where the air journey was stopped by bad weather. Give my regards pl ease to Mrs. Pryde, and my thanks to her : for her· e nterta inment. With kindest regards, I am, General 'Manager. �lir . li.u/_;c.,no I.:cJ\uliffo: t1r .
