E. gathered September 27th at Howard’s Cafe, this city, for dinner, with Chair­ man F. V. Hicks presiding, thirty-six members and guests being in attendance. The newly appointed officers for the ensuing year are: Chairman, W. T. Nightingale; Vice-Chairman. G. A. Knox; Secretary-Treasurer, J. L. Libby; Members of the Executive Committee, George B. Pryde and F. V. Hicks. Following the election of officers. Mr. George A. Brown, Mine Superintendent at Superior, gave an interesting account of his recent visit to England, Scotland and France, including numerous humorous experiences encountered. Mr. Brown stated that an extensive building program is in progress in Great Britain, and business is more than satisfactory. The British dole, according to Mr. Brown, is not chari­ ty, being really Industrial Insurance with the em­ ployer and employe paying into a fund under Gov­ ernment administration. Following the meal, the meeting convened at the Old Timers’ Building. Mr. George B. Pryde presiding, with an attendance of seventy, technical matters being considered at this session. Dr. William Reid. Agent of the Fife Coal Com­ pany, Ltd., Cowdenbeath. Fifeshire, Scotland, dis­ cussed roof control, methods of mining and steel timbering. The Company with which he is con­ nected produces 4,000.000 long tons of coal an­ nually and employs 10,000 men, and has. he stated. made a very extensive study of roof control and systematic timbering. Dr. Reid explained their methods of long-wall mining, their daily produc­ tion being 1.6 tons per man. this tonnage from steeply inclined seams varying from 2 to 9 feet in thickness, with very bad roof conditions, the aver­ age thickness of the seams worked to 4 feet. Steel arches are in use on main haulage ways, with stilted legs having a slotted bolting arrange­ ment to allow for settlement when excessive pres­ sures are encountered, thus relieving the concen­ trated load on the arch. Mild steel sheets having four-inch corrugations, % and inch in thick­ ness, and up to 4 feet in length, have been used successfully for lagging. When steel lagging is used in connection with steel arches, the sheets are butted against the arch web, rest between the Hangs, and are held in place by tie rods. This con­ struction acts as strutting and reduces the tendency of the arches to buckle. Dr. Reid showed lantern slides illustrating the different kinds of timber in use, and explained W 475 . Employes’ Magazine their advantages, stating that apparently high first costs on their permanent haulage ways were actually cheaper over a period of time. Mr. I. G. E. Leek, B.Sc., a Birmingham Univer­ sity graduate, and winner of the Mavor and Coul­ son Traveling Studentship, awarded through the Royal Technical College of Glasgow, Scotland, ad­ dressed the meeting on Safety in the Coal Mines of Great Britain. The subject included Management, General Safety, Health. Production, Regulations, Employment. Government Inspection, Legal points and Arbitration. Many points in common with the American Safety program were cited, and numer­ ous rigid government regulations were explained. Mr. Leek stated that boys had to be 14 years of age before entering the mine, and were generally started at the shaft bottom, and, as they became ac­ customed to conditions, they were gradually moved to working places farther in. Schools are estab­ lished teaching safety, and some companies require thirty days instruction in and around the mine be­ fore the applicant begins to work. Protective clothing and goggles are a part of their program, but, according to Mr. Leek, our manufacturers have better products at a more rea­ sonable cost to the American miner. Hard-toed shoes, he related, meet with favor in the British mines. Williams-Johnson Nuptials Miss Eva Williams, a former clerk and stenogra­ pher in the General Offices, for several years past employed at Mt. Vernon, Washington, was married on October 6 at Seattle, to Mr. Carl Johnson, the bridesmaid upon this occasion being Miss Bernice Barrass. also a former employe of the Company here (now resident of Seattle). The couple will make their home at Mount Vernon. She is a daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Williams, who lived in this city for many years, but removed to the north Pacific Coast some ten years since. Her many friends in Rock Springs wish the new couple a long life of happiness. Shower to Newly-Weds The Rock Springs Store employes tendered a shower to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dye (nee Anne Silva) at the Community Hall upon their return from their wedding tour recently. The feature of the evening was a mock wedding, Ed. Palanck par­ ticipating as the groom and Jack Lambert as the bride. Refreshments were served, followed by danc­ ing. Many nice presents were received by the new­ lyweds. It’s easy enough to be pleasant. With all of your tires full of air.

Both were amazed at the extent of the United States. After a visit through the Eastern mines. Dr. Reid will sail for Scotland about the 27th of October, Mr. Leek probably about the 2nd of November. Both will carry' with them many' fine impressions of their visit to the United States, and the social contacts they enjoyed in this country. Conversely, those who were privileged to meet both of these young gentlemen will remember with pleasure the fine exchange of ideas, which no doubt was mutual­ ly beneficial. Tir Nan Og ere is another Celtic story' by' “J. P.” published H in that great English newspaper. The Man­ chester Guardian Weekly. Those who write the “Guardian” stories, though occasionally attempting to portray the lives of the country people of Eng­ land. are compelled to turn to the land of the Celt, Irish, Scotch or Welsh, for that intensity of emo­ tion that makes for an interesting story. What a wealth of simple color is contained in these few hundred words. Therein we find refer­ ence to the cottagers’ peat fire, and we believe that when the smell of burning peat once enters the nostrils of a person, his or her children, their chil­ dren and children’s children, will be quick to recog­ nize that soft, acrid odor that cleans rather than pollutes the air as do other forms of smoke. Note the reference to the idle nets, the cry of the skua gulls, the murrain (an epizootic that afflicts the cattle), to the poverty and the longing for adventure that has scattered the Celtic people all over the wide world. One cannot read these little stories without catching at least a glimpse of the Garden of the Hesperides. When Brian the Blessed was thirty a great restlessness came upon him. His youth had ^een happy in the main; content enough he rhe °-Vn t0 sa*’ the summer seas in search of silvery mackerel, content enough to till 477 with his fellows the deep, red earth of the machair, content enough at the nesting season to test his cragsman’s skill upon the stacks of Kell or to gather round the winter peat fire to hear the old strange stories of the folk. But now all these things had lost their savour. Many were the days when his nets hung idle on the wall and some chance herd passing across the headland of the Cailleach where it juts towards the west would find him lying on his face in the short grass with the skua gulls crying round him. The old priest heard these things but kept his own counsel, and one evening Brian came to the beehive cell. “Father, give me your blessing, for I go on a far journey' and I do not think I shall return. “I am tired, Father, of Kenalbin and this life of ours where we scratch out our days like the conies in the thin grass by the shore. We are poor. Father, and wretched. Murrain comes and great dearth and we can do naught against them. Nor is it always that holy water can stay the path of the pestilence. “Last night I climbed the face of Ardchatan and in a grassy spot I slept, and in my sleep I dreamed. I do not know whether the country that I saw lies in the past of man or in his future or in some place beyond the stars. But this I know—that in the people of that land our poor lives have been taken and made per­ fect. They have exchanged our wattle huts for palaces of marble and bronze, our rough skins for silken robes, our darkness for their light. Murrain and pestilence come no more among them, and their children live to make old bones.” The old priest smiled. “My son, there is no such country. Even the Roumans, greatest of nations since the Fall, made no such life as that you describe.” “Father,” said Brian, “it was Tir nan Og that I saw in my dream, and since my longing for that place cannot otherwise be quenched, give me your blessing, for I go to find it.” Now this is the legend that was famed for many centuries through all the coasts of the West. For when Brian had set forth on that last mad questing into the sunset on which none has gone and lived, after many days he came back to the strand of Kenalbin. His step was firm enough as he stood upon the shore, but his face was lined as that of an old man and his hair was the sheen of spun flax. He said not a word to any man, but passed through the throng till he came to the cell of the priest. The old priest raised his eyes from his missal. “You found what you went to find?” “I learnt, Father, what I had to learn.” (Please turn to page 479) �478 November, 1934 Employes’ Magazine Gust Dagres and Henry Walters Gust Dagres and Henry Walters were snapped while sitting on the retaining wall in front of the Elks Home during the recent Old Timers Re­ union.

' J.7H �September 19 , 1933 Mr. SamMavor, Managing Director Mavor & Coulson, Limited 47 Broad Street Glasgow, S.3. Scotland Dear Mi. Mavor : Replying to yours of September 7th, S/BB: I am very much interested, indeed, in the senti­ ments expressed in your letter. Many Americans are thinking just as you are, ana wont ering just what is going to happen, ana the sentiments you have expressed, we find quite often in theAmerican press, particularly the statement that no country can legislate itself into prosperity. But there are several other angles to the U.R.A. in which you might be interested. In the first place, no one has aavanced a better program than President Roosevelt, ana the condition of this country has been such for the last four years, that something must be cone. Whether the 1T.R.A. will be successful or not, no one knows, but we do know that since the passing of this law, business conditions are improving in this country. Whether that may come from natural economic forces, I do not know, but the fact remains that this is happening, ana that people generally are in a much better frame of mind. Ana I think that is one thing that President Roosevelt has in min<.,. namely, that a greater sense of confidence will be established and a psychological conaition brought-about in the minus of the people that something can be done to assist the very depressed business conditions. While I am a member of the Republican party, which did not elect Mr. Roosevelt, I am, nevertheless, for him, and that is the feeling of the American people toaay, that politics ana party lines should be forgotten in an honest endeavor to put over the U.R.A. program, and one will note very little criticism of Rresiaent Roosevelt's program. We must accord to the Presiaent a great measure of praise for his courage and his vision; certainly he has both in a large measure. Altogether, I believe the reaction is such that something good is going to be accomplished. �Hr. Sam flavor 9-19=33 2 We have come to the point where war-time conditions are being repeatea, where people, unaer the high impulse of patriotism, were able to accomplish super-human things, and under those same impulses in peace-time, with a united country, I feel that much gooa will be brought about. As you say, we are meeting conditions which have never been met with before, ana are entirely new, anu they require a new approach. Wh.il e Pre sia ent Roosevelt's approach raay seem revolutionary, ana woula not have been accepted even a year ago, the frame of mine of the people now is such that in the absence of anything better, they are willing to follow President Roosevelt's leadership. He does not promise that he will be successful in all his undertakings, but he does promise that if everybody vail give him support, he will accomplish a goo a many of the things he has set out to ao . Only time can tell what these accomplishments may be, out at least a large majority of the people in this country are going to try to put the program over. Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing when developed along legitimate lines, ana. that is what is oeine cone today in this country. People who have felt that there was no way out, now feel, with im­ proved conditions, that there is a way out, ana that things are on the mend. I shall be better able to tell you in about sixty cays whether all of these hopes may be consummated. The only danger, as you state, is that of the Politicians getting hole. of things, ana, of course, he is ever present, ana is looking for something to happen which he can use to his advantage. 1 am tencing you a copy of the Recovery Act, as you requested, ana yesteraay the Presiaent of the United States signed the coal code, copy of which I am attaching also. Hoping that business is picking up with you, ana with sincere gooa wishes, I am Very cordially yours, Original GEORGE B. �dtccAe’cd ^e/e/i/iene- M.&^COALC UTTERS FOR ALL CONDITIONS Mayor & Coulson, Limited. 47 Broad Street, Glasgow.s.e. tendon, M. &.C.

Mr. Geo.R.Pryde, Vice-President, rhe Union Pacific Coal co., Rocksprings , V7Y01HITG, U.S.A. Bear Mr.Pryda, Many thanks for your letter of 26th.August. Your very kind invitation to next year’s Travelling Student will be considered when the Itinerary is being arranged. I wonder how the U.S.A. Goal mining industry will fare under the code of the National Industrial Recovery Administration. Your President is having a very large measure of support ana co-operation in his courageous efforts towards industrial recovery. I doubt , however, the possibility of achieving prosperity by legislation. Nobody knows enough to take such control of industry as is being attempted. The effects of imposing drastic changes are so far-reaching and complex that they are beyond comprehension. It is very satisfactory that the numbers of your unemployed are being reduced, but the unemployed are presumably making tilings; is there a market for them? Shorter hours will of course mean higher costs and prices. Too much political interference in industry is,I think, always in the long run damaging, and there is a tendency of politicians to increase , rather than relax their hold - it is very difficult for them to let go after taking hold. I fear re-action in the United States, after the first wave of enthusiasm , has subsided. Thu field of the politicians is to provide, so far as they can, the conditions favourable to trade, and control should be left to the industries that .know their business; it is, however, difficult for JjhemJ^Le. to The conditions now existing in the United States are new, and ftave never before been experienced. They clearly call for some positive effort of the Administration, but such political arid financial interference has never succeeded in the past, previous difficulties of similar kind, but less degree, have righted themselves by the operation of laws that we do not yet understand, rather than by heroic efforts of politicians and financiers. The programme of the U.S.A. Administration amounts ro a veritable/ �Ltr.Geo . B. Pryde . . Mayor & Coulson, Ltd. 7/9/33. veritable revolution, and to us here the great experiment is of absorbing interest. It is to the interest of the whole world that the effort should be successful, but I have my doubts.

Dear Mr..Pryde, I am sorry that acknowledgment of your letter of July 5th. has been so loflg delayed. It came during my absence on holiday. I wrote to the Secretary of the Institution of Mining Engineers asking if it is" possible to alter Mr.Westwater’s Itinerary to enable him to viai-t/Rock Springs. This will, I think, depend chiefly on the number of engagements in the United States already made for Mr.Westwater. Unfortunately, the English holidays have prevented my having a reply from the Secretary, and he will probably have to refer the matter to the other Members of the Committee (of wtCch I am one) which deals with the Studentship. I have told the Secretary that we are favourably disposed to defray the additional cost of a visit to Wyoming.

I appreciate your suggestions with regard to the mining of slabs on pillars under· draw slate. I shall suggest that Mr. Clark talk with you about this when he is in Rock Springs. Mr. Clark will probably be able to visit Rock Springs the latter part of the month or early in November. For your own information, Mr. J. T. Cleirk is Assistant Production Manager and has charge of several of our largest mines, one conveyor mine and Oile Joy mine. Mr. Clark was placed in charge of mechanization for Pittsburgh Coal Company in 1927, and continued in that capa.ci ty for some time. Later we gave him charge of a division. He has been with the Company imny years and participated in the earliest work in the development of the Joy machine, before the Joy Manufacturing Company was even thought of. Mr. Clark bas recently been President of the Pittsburgh Coal Mining Institute, and it occurs to me that if you desire, he could discuss in a practical way, some of the features of the new Pennsylvania mining law. Needless to say he is one of our right hand men, and his experience, judgnent, and leadership mean a great deal to the Pittsburgh Coal Comiany. Cordially yours, LEY-k �October 11, 1938 . :Dr. L. E.

December 22, 1953 Dear Mr. Bayless: Early in the New Year Mr. Ian McKensey, Manager of Elrington Colliery iirill be leaving on a visit to the United States to study latest developments in connection with mining practice and equipment. Elrington Colliery is on the Maitland/Cessnock field of New South Wales and is a Colliery in which we have a controlling interest in association with Hebburn Limited. This is the only colliery in our group producing gas making coal and is also the only one developed on the basis of utilising trackless mining equipment. During the time Mr. McKensey is in the United States I would very much like him to have the pleasure of meeting you and perhaps having the opportunity of discussing matters of mutual Interest with some of your officers. With this in view I trust that you will not mind my having taken the liberty of providing him with a letter of introduction to you. I can assure you that anything you or your officers may be able to do to add to the interest and Instruction of his visit to your country will be greatly appreciated not only by him but by me personally. Mr. McKensey’s programme in the United States has not yet been finalised but I have suggested to him that as soon as possible after his arrival there he should communicate with you and advise you re­ garding his movements. Just recently I was delighted to learn from Mr. Lewis that Mr. McAuliffe is keeping so well and active - when next you see him I should be glad if you would be good enough to remember me to him and give him my kindest regards and best wishes. I trust that you are keeping well and send you my kindest regards and best wishes.

Livingston, Esq., Vice-President, Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Wyo. Dear Mr. Livingston: I was so impressed by some of the things I saw in the operations of your collieries ·when I was at Rock Springs last Autumn that I should like our General Superintendent and one of our Colliery Managers to see them also. If you will be so good as to give those men permission to see the operations I will send them out to Rock Springs where they will arrive on May 23rd. I should particularly like them to see your operations which require close timbering where the roof is quite tender. We have just completed preliminary trials on a longwall 'continuous miner', which we have designed and built under an arrangement with the Joy Manufacturing Conpany. This machine will go underground very shortly. \'le hope to produce 500 tons per shift with the machine and to work it double-shifted. If this unit is as satisfactory- as the trials have indicated, it will revolutionize longwall work. Perhaps you would care to come to have a look at it, or $end someone to see it, late in the Summer when our crews will have been properly trained in its operations. Will you be good enough to let me know if Mr. W. S. McDonald, our General Superintendent, and Mr. T. M. Hay, I-tanager of our No. 25 Colliery, may visit your operations. With kind regards, Very M. H.

Dear Mr. Murray: I regret that I have not been able to acknowledge your letter of November 18th sooner because I happened to be away from Sydney. I appreciate very much the trouble you and your staff have taken to supply the information I requested. I have passed this information along to our Chief Electricial Engineer, who is making a study of this problem. In discussing this matter with Mr. E. L. Martheleur, our Chief Electrical Engineer, he informs me that he will be communicating directly with your Chief Electrician who will be able to give him such additional information as he may require. Thanking you again for your help in this matter, and please convey to Mrs. Murray and those of my other friends in the Union Pacific Coal Company the Compliments of the Season and my very best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

We have not encountered any difficulty with one motor taking more than its required load. Our largest hoists· are 550 H.P. motors or a total of 1100 H.P. per hoist. The two hoists having 1100 H.P. are Norberge hoists, also other larger hoists are Vulcan ,·;ith 500 H.P. each. Attached herewith letter from Mr. Toucher concerning these hoists.

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

I may say that we were both very disappointed that we were unable to see you before we left Rock Springs. However, I sincerely hope that an opportunity will arise wherein you may be able to spend some time in our field, and I am sure that if the time does come when you can visit us you will find many things in our distric't of interest to a mining man. We enjoyed our visit to Rock Springs very much, and some of the things we saw gave us a great deal of food for thought, as a result of which we may be able to improve our own operations to some extent. I sincerely appreciate your kindness to us, and also your kind invitation for our return to Rock Springs.

Murray, General Manager, Union Pacific Coal Company, Rock Springs, Wyoming. Dear Mr. Murray: DurinG two visits to the collieries of the Union Pacific Coal Company at Rock Springs, you were kind enough to have your staff show us hoists of 800 and 1000 horsepower capacity, driven by AC motors arranged in parallel. I have discussed this arrangement with our Chief Electrical Engineer, tlr. E. L. Martheleur, and while he is intrigued with the idea he is still reluctant to adopt this principle in our collieries, where we have . single motors operating hoists up to 1800 horsepower, because of the difficulty of dividing the load equally between the two motors. Would you kindly let us know if the two motors which you use in parallel on your hoist'- are connected to a single resistance so as to have exactly the same amount of resistance in the rotor circuit? There is also the question of connecting the two motors together mechanically, so as to have the two rotor circuits in synchronization. While this is not very difficult to accomplish, nevertheless the two relative positions of the motors must be always the same. I remember discussing this arrangement of motors with you, during my last visit in company with Mr. Gordon, and at that time you had assured us that it was a very successful operation. I am wondering, however, if your electrical staff is satisfied that the load is evenly divided between �- 2 - the two motors. I, of course, assume that you have made the necessary tests to ascertain this facb. I realize that you are very busy and probably will not be in~ position to give us in detail the answers to the problem which is bothering us at this time. Therefore, perhaps you would be kind enough to have your electrical engineer give us as much information on this subject as p ossible, and we on our $ide will be very glad at any time to reciprocate with information on our installations which may be of interest to you.

Mr. Peternell was an excellent guide· and was able to tell us all we wanted to know. We deeply appreciate the manner in which he took us about the mines. At this time I should like you to know that the crews I saw working in your mines worked better than any crews I have seen on routine operations. I should like to compliment you too on the general housekeeping of both the mines themselves and the surface installations.

Hav.i ne seen publicity regarding your Suggestion System, it is suspected that it must have been very suc c essful when in operation. Though you mention in ~,our letter that the Suggestion System was temporc,rily set aside during the war, I am wondering whet hlJ r you would be kind enout;h to give us any inf ormation you mya have reearding its operation in the past. Among the questions suggest ed are the following:-- 1. Is it practicable for employees in a coal mine to make suggestions concerning their work? 2.

I really have learnt a lot during that visit, a nd I am sure we shall be able to improve our producti on when I go b ack to Puertollano. ~~ trip is close to its end: I am going to-morrow to Carlsbad, llTe ,:,1 Mexico, in order to see the double-trolley trucks (or shuttle-cars), and • later in the week to Joplin, Missouri, to see some stripp ing being don e on previously underground worked deposits. I i ntend to · sail from New York on the 9th of Aprim, back to France. Looking tbDough my files relative to underground gasification, I have found the following refernces, which might be of some interest to Mr. Charles: Iron and Coal Trades Review, Aug.25, 1944, by Foxwell; Colliery Guardian, June 26, 1936, by Chekin ani Semonoff: connnunication delivered at the Energy World Conference; The Engineer, Dec. 29, 1944, by E.T.Wilkins. I quote only the English written .articles. During my stay in Rock Springs, N~. Charles and I spoke of that question, that's why I think these references might interest him.

C. Livingston Union Pac'ific Coal Company Rock Springs , Wyoming Dear Mr. Livingston: When I was head of the French Mining Mission in Washington, several times I had the pleasure of hearing from different French mining engineers how much they appreciated the welcome that you and your company extended to them. I feel a little bit embarrassed to come to you again to ask a favor, but it just happens that due to the pitching conditions of your seams, the Utah and i"lyoming deposits are the ones ~hich are of most interest to French visitors. So far I have not had the pleasure of visiting these districts personally; I hope to do so as soon as I possibly can. If you find that this succession of visitors gives you too much trouble, could you suggest the names of neighboring companies in which French engineers could spend some time studying the operation of .American mining machinery? A friend of mine , Mr. Jacques Ledoux, a .French mining engineer with the company of Pennaroya, is going to spend a couple of months in this country visiting mining companies and manufacturers. Very likely he will call on you around !'./larch 18th and I would very much appreciate it if you could extend to him your usual welcome or direct him to another company.

Rock Spr~ngs, Wyoming Dear Sir: On May 25, 1945 I wrote to you asking that permission be granted to the engineers of the French Coal Mining Mission to visit your properties, and you were kind enough to give us a favorable reply in your l.etter of May 29, 1945. Due to difficulties in transportation the arrival of these engineers was delayed longer than we had expected, and since their arrival they have found it impossible to leave Washington due to the urgent pressure of work in connection with the French coal mining program. During these months they have al,vays hoped to be able to find some spare time to visit various coal mines, and they waited until they could make definite plans before contacting you again. Their projects have been delayed week after week due to changes in our purchasing organization made necessary by the end of the war, and they were therefore obliged to postpone getting in touch with you. Under the present circwnstances it is still difficult to plan a program of visits at a definite time, but I would like to thank you again for your kind offer to be of assistance to us, and I wish you to know that these gentlemen and I are greatly interested in a visit to your mineso I hope that maybe in a few weeks or maybe only a few months we will be able to escape for a little while from our paper work for the more interesting phase of field visits, in which case we shall try to let you know our plans as much in advance as possible.

P0.rticular attention of all contractors is called to the fact that War De p2rtment approval of visits by foreign nationals to private plants indicates merely that the War and Navy Departments interpose no objection to the visit at the time and under the conditions specified. The company concerned r et ains full discretion as to whether or not the visit shall be permitted by them and this approval in no way implies that matters of private concern to the company should be disclosed or that the company should be put to expense or embarrassment. 2. Furthermore, such approval in no way implies a restriction on the disclosure of information concerning the manufacture of consumer goods, commercial equipment or other products unassociated with the war. War Department interest is concerned only with the maintenance of security regarding the production, plans, "know how", or development of articles produced under war contracts a.nd the authorization to permit visits for the purpose of discussing or inspecting the production of government materiel is granted only for the purpose stated subject to company approval . .3. In some instances the approval states "For final inspection of finished products only". This statement refers to contracts in execution for government agencies, and does not permit a tour of the portion of the plant engaged in government contracts nor inspection or discussion of government material in the process of manufacture or development. 4. Although the authorization may cover a period .of three months, if the government contract is completed prior to the end of that time, the approval is automatically cancelled. 5. tll visits are subject to the following restrictions, except as included in the authorized purpose: (a) Access is not permitted to sections of the plant which might afford the o~portunity of observing confidential features of U.S. Government work or material. (b) U.S. Government contracts are not discussed and information pertaining to such contracts is not disclosed. (c) That the arrang~ments for safeguarding U.S. Government classified information from disclosure are s~¼isfac1ory to the Inspector of Govern!nent Material. W ° CJ' ~ ;;, Lt . C'o1. G. S.

Bayless, President Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Sirs A Mission of three or four French !Ill.ning engineers is on its ~ay to this country to study in detail the possibility of modernizing the French coal mines by utilizing American methods and mining machinery. As you are nell aware, there is now a terrific coal shortage in France due to the fact that our mines have been operated under German occupation without any repair or maintenance of the equipment. This coal short~ge has been responsible for the worst winter we have had in France during the war causing a doubled mortality rate among newly born infants. Moreover, the coal miners are exhausted after five years of forced labor, and it is only by well planned mechanization that our coal production vtill rise again. We realize that this result can best be obtained by visiting American coal mines of characteristics similar to those existing in France, and we would appreciate it very much if you could help us in carrying out such a project. Our experts are interested in visiting all types of coal seams with pitch from O to 20°, thickness from 4 to 8 feet, plenty of gas, bad roof. Dr. Smith, Editor of "Mechanization" has suggested your company as one of interest, and I am hereby inquiring if you would have any objection to our experts visiting your properties. In case of a favorable reply, they will contact you directly and arrange a program of visits. As a point of information I \11ish to advise you that I am a member of the A.I.M.M.E. and am glad to send you under separate cover a copy of my report "French Coal Mining Industry" nhich will furnish you with additional data on the condition of the French coal mines. Your kind consideration of this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am ready to leave again on one of iey trips to Europe and will cover many mines throughout Europe where I shall conduct lectures and act as consul ting engineer. However, before I leave the States, it would be m:>st helpful if I could spend time with your company in order to study chiefly, and in detail, the operations of duckbills in pitching seams. I am planning to go to Rock Springs, Wyoming, some time between April 20 and May 1st for a visit of approximately 3 or 4 days. In all probability, Messrs. Franceschini and Or~aire will mnt to join me since they are interested in the same problems as I am. I would therefore appreciate it very much if you would grant us the privilege of visiting your company. Should you want some references, I suggest that get in touch with s.

Tho Fren ch coal de posits are eenerally more irregu1ar, deeper, thinner a nd consequently more diffi·c ul t to work than those at pr e s ent being mined in the United Stat e s. I r:. pa rt this is due to the fact that, in Franco, the industr:.r is centuri e s old o.nd that in manv locations . the best s e ams . hav e b e en work e::!. out: " ' Nlor c ove r, sinc e the turn of the c entury, and particularly during the pe riod b e t ween the two world wars, fluctuations in the demand for coal l e d to low prices broueht about in most countri e s a situation discourar,ing to financial investment in .svst ematic d e velo-cme nt and exploitation of n ew tecHniques.

In 1951, the planned production is 62,5 million tons -iH:- , ::md by this time the underground output per ·manshift will increase by about 20%, allowing the pres ent fi e ure of 980 ke; to reach that of 1170 ke .

We are most anxious that ·some of our better engineers be given the opportunity of seeing and appreciating the effect of the most modern ~ · practice in the field of mining engineering, and· e hope that we should not be dra~ing on your good will too much if we ask Mr. Dufrasne to call on you and obtain from you, if possible, the opportunity of visiting the mines under your oontrolo We are particularly interested in the working of coal mines in the Wyoming State where we believe the grade 1 and thickness of the workable seams closely resemble some of those found in our coalfield. • • In the belief that you will be so good as to give us this assistance, we are · sending a copy of ' th1s letter· to Mr. Dufrasne for him to present to you when he reaches America.

Livingston Vice President in Charge of Operations Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Mr. Livingston: We have a French student, namely Henri Duchateau, who is being sponsored jointly by the French Coal Board, the Eimco Machinery Corporation and a Fulbright grant for one year for attendance at the Colorado School of Mines and association with the coal mining industry in general. Mr. Duchateau is completing the first semester here at the Colorado School of Mines and has been engaged in a study of coal mining engineering. Insofar as his study in the u. S. is restricted to one year, he has expressed a desire to contact certain coal mining corporations in the West to determine the possibility of spending from two to three weeks at their properties for the purpose of getting a first-hand view of American coal mining methods. Insofar as the French coal mines are for the most part composed of pitching seams he has expressed a desire to see those types of operations. Accordingly, Mr. Livingston, I wish to take t his opportunity to determine whether or not it will be possible for ~lr. Duchateau to visit Rock Springs, Wyoming, for the purpose of looking over your operations. I realize there are many ramifications to such a proposal but would appreciate having you interview Mr. Duchateau during the last week in December or shortly after the first of the year as he will be making a trip to Rock Springs, Wyoming. Mr. Duchateau speaks English rather well and I am sure there would be no language barrier to add to the ramifications.

Mr. President: We are two students of the mining branch of Aachen university and want to broaden our insights and experiences in this field through working practically in American mines. We have just entered the third academical year. Our study was preceded by several years of practically working in coal mines of the Ruhr and Aachen district. We especially are interested in your mechanical progress in winning coal and moving into new fields. We also have a big interest in personal relations (human relations), what we call the climate of the company. As you probably know we shall receive a visa only when we have in hand a paper from an American coal mine telling those that are concerned that a place of work for about two months is open. May l-re therefore turn to you with our request to accept us as workers and to send us the mentioned certificate. We anticipate your answer with joy and gratitude, trusting that you will understand our situation and generously will give consideration to our request.

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

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

The fo llowing comment s are o ffered : It i s not ed on page 10 that reservations have been made at the Winche st er Hot el, Ri fle , Colorado. Thi s is the poorest ho t el in Rifl e. On page 11 , it i s no ted that the pub­ lication refers to R. D . Reeder , Chi ef of the Salt Lake C ity Brancp , Region IV. J. Bruc e Clemmer i s Chi ef of the st ation and R. D.

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