Pryde The Union Pacific Coal Coo Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Mr. Pryde: I feel very ashamed that I have not sent you before now a letter of thanks for all your kindness to me when I was at Rock Springs. As you know, I was first buried in that ranch where, as you found, all forms of coI1L11unication were difficult, and since then I have been travelling back to Washington. All that I saw of your Company's work in Rock Springs both for safety and the matter of mechanisation impressed me tremendously. As I have told Mr. McAuliffe, with whom I spent a_/Il.?ft interesting day in Omaha, I hope to do a ffi"towards getting some of our people to adopt some of your ideas. They certainly could do so with profit. If you, or any people from your Company, are ever in London, you must of course call me up. j By the way, I should like to say again how extreme. typing work which he did for me when I was in Rocle Springs. He is admirably accurate and speedy. ly grateful I am to your Mr. Duffy for all the Yours sincerely, RNQ/BBS �Form 2191 C.

I am of the opinion that p~tent to settlers uao issued only upon ful• filment of requirements of Romestead entry and that sale was made only on public lands, kno'Oll to contain minerals, and thero• tore, not subject to Homestead or Desert Entry. The proportion of public l!.i.nd passed by Grants to Railro~ds uould total but c negligible percentngo of the public land of the crest. Your statement regarding a fixed standard price of $,.oo per acre should be checked. I believe that there uaa a fixed price uhen acreage m1s 'vithin a 5.. or 10-mile limit of a railroad., Thie price decreased materially when acreage vaa outside the mileage limit. I do not believe, however, that your statement of a stan• dard $,.oo per acre is correct. • Pg. 5 - Par. l • I think that, previouo to "fairly recently," a 60~ recovery estimate is high. Pg. 6 - Par. 2 - My idea would be that the function of plan approval would be better if vested in the "Supervisors " en• torcement of plans and safety t7ith H. ?.1 .. Inspectors. Pg. 9 - Par. l • lly personal idea is that any plan uhere• in the ownership ~as vested in ouners other than the operators, and ~bich contemplated the eventual _extinction of royalty payments, uould involve many complications ond would be of doubtful merit.

Graf, • Mi~ning Engineer Hindenburg-Borsigwerk o.s. Margaretheustr 2 Aug. 31st, 1937 Mr. Eugene McAuliffe, Pres., The Union Pacific Coal Co., 1416 Dodge St., Omaha, Nebr. Dear Mr. McAuliffe: I am quite late ans\"; ering your very interesting letter of April 26, 1937, which I enjoyed very much. I am looking forward with great interest for the copy of the printed contract of your new mge scale, which you kindly offered to send me. It is always good to be able to compare and maybe learn out of the experiences in the other parts of the TTorld. Today I wonder '\'lhether I might beg you to do me a favor. Mr. Carl Theodor Roechling from Saarbruchen, Gerll'.any, only son and heir of the large steel wo'rks "in the Saar.:Basin~ ,7li6- oTTns -coa l - and 'ore mines as well, is corning over to the United States during the latter part of September for a short visit. ffllile spending most of his time visiting steel works, he asked me whether I could not arrange for him to visit the mines of the Union Pacific Coal Co., where he TTould be very much interested looking into the scraper and duckbill operations. After my return to Gemnany in 1932 I worked for Mr. Roechling in one of his coal mines, where we tried out a low-coal duck-bill from Goodman, but did not make money on it, mile it was working all right technically. So you will understand that I would like very much ~.r. Roechling to see personally the wonderful success of the duckbill operations in your mines. Unfortunately Mr. Roechling is not able to state beforehand the date of his arrival~ nor the length of his stay, so ·I would be very glad if you could notify Mr. Pryde or Mr. Bayless in Rock Springs that Mr. Roechling is to come some day during the latter part of September (he will send a telegram to Rock Springs of course a day or two before he arrives). and that he is interested to see scraper and duckbill operations, the latter under unfavorable conditions, if possible. Mr. Roechling knov.s the American language sufficiently. I would indeed appreciate very much if you would give Mr. Roechling a chance to visit the Rock Springs mines and maybe let him take a look into the development plans of the new D. o. Clark mine in Superior which I learned will be the largest and most modern mine west of the Mississippi. Mrs. Graf and I are well as Dr. Witte and Mr. Witte are getting along fine. Around the mines we have a real boom-time right now, we cannot get out enough_ coal to f ~il.fill the demand. It is funny, that either overproduction or underproduction was to be contended with, it never happens that we can work just up_ to capacity. \ I hope Mrs. McAuliffe and you as well as the Union Pacific family in Rock Springs are in good health and getting along fine. Please give my and Mrs. Graf 1s kindest regards to Mrs. McAuliffe, Very respectfully yours, /sgd/ Fred A Graf ��34 0 ? ~ J I ~ ~ J'~ ~ ~ It.~. /4. ~ -/ c; f3 y ~ , 4 - : ' , ca U<f ~ ~ ~ · ~ ~ ?

Pryde, ~ My father has asked me to write to introduce Dr. se 11, P?-~~e~ ,. late Principal of the Fife Mining School , w~ = retired here recently after many years of service in Scotland as a Mining Teacher. Dr. Parker is making a world tour and as he has heard about the Union Pacific Coal Co., and of the work you are doing, he would like to visit your properties. Dr. Parker has a great wealth of knowledge of Scottish Mining and you will find him a very interesting personality. He will write you himself as he moves nearer to Wyoming and we would be greatly obliged if you would give him facilities for such a visit. I, myself, have moved to a riew sphere of activities in this Company. I am now in the Office doing the Planning work for Comrie and also assisting my father, in detail. We have ou.r new shafts more than half way down and we expect to couple them up before the end of this year. I propose to send you some details later on, for your ovm information. With regard to our Safety Campaign v'le are she 1.ving even greater progress this year and while we cannot yet equal you with regard to the number of man hours per lost time accident, we think that our accidents are, on the average, much less severe. I trust that Mrs. Pryde and yourself are in good health. With my father's be~t wishes and my kindest regards to you. -, ~~~ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pryde: Referring to personal injury of s. Tanaka: v1orkman was struck by a fall of top coal while employed in Rock Springs No. 4 Mine on Oct. 17th, 1932, which caused the following injuries: Fracture of the 7-9-10-11 and 12th left ribs; both ischia; sacrum; and 1st lumbar vertebrae with separation of both sacro-illiac joints and severe shock. Workman is married, wife and four child ren residing in Rock Springs, the children range in age from 2 to 9 years, workman has been in our employ for 20 years .,,ith the exception of the years 1920 and . 19 21; he is 51 years of age and in very poor circumstances. On October 19th, 1932, in conversation ·,id.th Dr. 'l'. li. Roe, at the hospital here, -we ·. were advised that the shock had subsided but the ,-,orlcman's right lung appeared to be filling with fluid, and that due to the s eri.ous condition of the wo rlcman at that time Dr. Roe ,.ra.s 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 was kept quiet and given 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. '!he Doctor stated that he thought this special care should e.xt end over a period of about tv.o weeks, We got in touch with Mr. Butler, of the Pock Springs �- 2 ::~ Hospital Commission, and explained the circumstances to him and he agreed that under these conditions that the workman should have special care, but that the rules of the Commission prohibited payment for private rooms and special nurses but that he thought that arrangements could be made to take care of the additional expense in this case, and that h e woul d take the matter up with John Mc Tee, another member o f the board. i.:r . 1:l cTee advised I\rr. Butler that such an arrangement was agreeable with him and that payment could be taken care of in some ,18:y. Vle informed 1,ti,ss Shields, Superintendent of the Hospital, as to the result of our interview vd.th 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 vrorkman ,·,as then transferred to a private room and a special nurse detailed to attend him. This special care was contin- ued over a period of tv.o weeks at which time wo Ikman had sufficiently recovered to alloVI removal to one of the hosp_i tal wards. Later, houever, when the bill for these services, in an amount of $125.50, 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. McTee then voted vtith Kudar not to allow the bill and payment of the amount was refused. It is easy to see end 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··-i..: was prescribed as being entirely necessary, by C.t he Surgeon who is in the emplo_y of the Commission certainly such special service should be provided and not at the expense of the hospital, nurses, or the injured workman. I am enclosing herewith bill o{ Nurse Sweeney for services and the hospital is carrying a balance of $41. 50 for rent of private room and nurse's board. (sgd) copy H. J.

Will you please give me a full report on this case. �Ul.TI:TED MINE WOIUCERS OF AMERICA Local Union No. 2616 Superior, Wyoming, May 14th, 1931. Mr. Eugene McAuliffe, President,Union Pacific Coal Co., Omaha. Dear Mr. McAuliffe: I am writing to you for advicm on a disputed compensation claim of one of our members. Brother Louis Tamboni was injured, ruptured, dropping a railroad car on or under :B mine tipple, September 5th, 1930. :By advice of the doctor, after securing a truss, he continued to work until Febr. 22nd, 1931, when it became necessary for him to go through an operation. He lost two months work through the operation. \'ihen the employees report of the accident went in, which was when he went to the hospital, he °\'7aS told the five months limitation had expired, and therefore, void. As Secretary of the local I fill out the majority of claims for the members, but would not think of sending in a report of injury where no time is being lost. I suspect this is my fault not reporting or sending in the yellow sheet 9 when the accident happened. However, the man did not know and the doctor was not sure whether an operation would be necessary or not. Tamboni•s condition t1as known to the outside foreman, Mr. Ward, and to · ·t he Mine Superintendent, Mr. G. A. :Broun, from the time it happened until he came be.ck from the hospital. Please answer at your earliest conv:enience, With kind personal regards and best 'l'lishes. Respectfully yours, (Sgd) CHAS.

I have arranged to have Mr. Calverly here and will also arrange through him for a representative from the Midwest Refining Cam.pany to attend. He has suggested that Mr . Osborne of Ca~per representing .. : the Standard in such matter, should be here and I have asked him to arrange that also. He also promised to give me a list of other persons m.om he would suggest should attend. When I have received same, I wi 11 give the matter further consideration. Presumably you and Mr. McAuliffe have given consideration to having a representative of the labor organizations here and concluled that it wo·u ld not be wise . .Judge Lacey ms suggested that we have al- ways been in agreement with the labor organizations, a situation which has been very helpful in getting compensation legislation through the Legislature. I suggest this so you and Mr. McAuliffe may consider whether it would be advisable to have .Timmy Morgan and i.u-. Fox at the conference. CC-Mr. Eugene McAuliffe W.II'. T.S.Taliaferro,.Tr.

STAHDAJIO FORM 2103 IKt-10,000 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY OFFICE OF Rock Springs, Wyoming July 7, 1932 IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO . NO. Attorney Mr. George B. Pryde Vice President and Gener al Manager T-he Union Pacific Coal Comp any Rock Springs, Wyoming \ Dear Sir: I think there should be a conf er ence bet~een some of t h e larger employers of labor in extra-ha zardous employm ents, to work out several proposed changes in the law, to be presented to t h e coming Legislature. Here in Sweetwater County, an effort is being made to use the Compensation Law as a political conveyance. It is unnecessary for me to go into detail as to who is doing this, and the inconsistent and unreasonable changes which are being proposed. Honever, the County Attorney has gone so far as to state to the Judge of the district court that the hernia statute will be repealed by the next Legislature. Of co urse, such action by the Legislature would be in violation of modern scientific thought upon t h e subject. Some of the t hing s that I t hink should be considered are: A law limiting the number of witnesses which the County Attorney may subpoena at the expense of the employer. Non-resident e~ployers of labor to give surety as to contributions to the fund. Tl e cons ti tutionali ty of the service charge to non-resident employers should be considered. •i The effect of lovTer wages upon the awards as fixed by the schedule, and the inevitaole diminution of the fund, under present schedules. • A modern schedule of loss of vision should be proposed~ in lieu of' the present schedule. I I I .I II I i I The statutory fees for investigations made by Commissioners upon reference by the Judge to be fixed by law. II I ,I I wrote a letter, a few days ago, to Judge Tidball, protesting the bringing by the County Attorney of many witnesses, in behalf of claimants, who are induced to bring suits by one Dan Pallie. I stated to the Judge I l 1 �I' I I I tf.lHDIJID FORM 2103 IMt-10,000 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO OFFICE OF NO. that almost every t hing t ha t t h ese wi t n ess es would tes t ify to would have been admitted without any witne s ses. Bu t t hat is no t t he i dea. The using of these vd tnesses is at t he ex ens e of empl oyers, and is a gr a tuity. I think it would be well i f you would consi der t his letter, and see if arrang emen ts can be made, someti me befo re it i s too late, for such a meeting, and to have a progr am fo r considera tion whi ch has been well thought out. At least t hose who attend t hi s meeting should be those who have had actual experience in t h e operation of t h e l aw, and who have given consideration to the administra tion of t he law in other states.

C ou.pled to this situation, I think we should ask Mr. Murray to go over the community houses, inspecting the equipment ·w hich might be knocked down, not only fire extinguishers, but clocks, pictures, etc., all of which should be safely fastened. Needless to s~y, the fire extinguisher must be positioned so that it can be taken down quickly, and I am wondering if a small metal bracket placed underneath the base would not serve to prevent its being 11:f'ted accidentally from the hook from which it hangs. �S1AHOAAD IMt-10.000 FORM 2.t03 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY OFFICE OF Rock Sp rin g s, Wyoming, Ap ril 1 8 , 1 93 6 Attorney IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO NO.

BaYless: REPORT OF INJURY TO \'/ILLIAU SPENCE OF DINES , WYOMING MARCH 14, 1936 William Spence was attending a Scout dance given by the Reliance Connnunity Council in the Reliance Community Hall. He uas standing in the crowded vestibule, and, in a spirit of friendliness , reached out to slap a friend on the buck who \'Jas passlng through the door and then stepped back and his shoulder caught the bottom of the fire extinguisher and dislodged it from the hook. The extinguisher, ~eighing about 45 pounds, fall and ca ught him on t~e foot, breaking his foot. The extinguisher \'las hanging in the southeast corner of the vestibule and the top of it ~as&} feet from the floor. It was installed on a regulation hook ~1hich wa s in good condition and, i n addition, had spikes on each side of it to keep it from suaying, so that it uas necessary to raise the extinguisher before i t could be dislodged. The accompanying sketch will shocr the approximate p os i t ion of the extinguisher and a diagrw:i of the room. I am als o including the hook which held the extinguisher, for your observat ion. The above informati on regarding the acci dent was supplied by Superintendent l!. W. Medill of Reliance. �"- / I / 1 1/ U I - ,I �13-ttorn0y Mr . Joh~ U.

We should pay what is absolutely just and right in this case, as we do in all cases, but I do not. believe we should agree to any undue payment beyond the extent of the injuryo I am glad to know you discussed with Dr. Chambers the matter of the Advisory Bos.rd. I also discussed this matter with Mr. litcAuliffe as you suggested, and he thou@l.t your suggestion that we bring the dooto~s in with Arthur Lee Talieferro was a good one.

I now plan to have Dro Chambers and Dro Lauzer make a complete examination and report, together with recommendations, on this caseo I am inclined to believe that these doc.~ ors will recommend that Corra be sent to some other doctor for an opinion. I also discussed with these doctors the matter of the Medical Advisory Board's not fu.ncti~ning properly and Dro Chambers told me that he will go before the doctors at their next meeting and re quest that they make decisions on the oases which are put before the Board, trying to handle them in an orderly way.

Bayless Assistant General Manager The Union Pacific Coal Company City Dear Sir: I have read the corres1Jondence.? including the letter of Doctor Krueger addressed to you.? and dated February "Ith. Upon the face of it;., Doctor Krueger's letter is a "negative preg:uantn., and does not in fact answer your question. I think it would be well, some time next week, to have the Doctor come to my office, so that we can dismuss the matter from the viev~-point of the la:w, and the facts,. It would certainly seem to the writer _that a rupture caused from lifting, \"lhile the i'iorkman nas actually performing work in extra~hazardous employment with The Union Pacific Coal Company, inould show ·some breaking of tissues, or there could not have been then and there a rupture. It would seem to the writer that this is a selfevident axiom. To determine whether or not there was tearing of tissues at the time and place of the employment is essentially the province of the surgeon, and if the surgeon cannot discover any such rupture, the s1 tuation is no diffe1.. ent than if the ,i'!orkman had been struck on the head by a hammer, and could not discover who struck him. Hernias resulting from trauma or violence, causing rupture, are compensable, but hernias which are congenital, of slow but steady development, and which may be "fired" by the person stepping in an automobile, bending over to pick up a pin, or lifting some heavy substance, are not compensable, because the ~ernia in fact existed long· before the time and place of the pain, and long before the time and place .of the rupture, and ·was not primarily due to the employment, but was primarily due to the person's physical condition, like the gradual loss of hearj,ng, which the v.Titer is experiencing, or the gradual dimming 'o f 'the eyes, which the writer is experiencing. . �STAld>AllO ll>-Gt-10,000 FORM 2103 SUBJECT: THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY, IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO OFFICE OF NO.

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.

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.

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. Yours sincerely, �3 '0 99H039 1«“P1PO ‘saroS .?xtot>to3 .i'jcoa is:j<n jaol □?. $7Dta Au .?u7<mp $on - eaot&o Jeb pro .xoav; u'[0£ •'.?. ir-j□?:.-■?.

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 am afraid that until I hear from the Secretary I a^unable to say more, but I must thank you cordially for your very generous offer of assistance to Mr.Westwater ,and facilities for his examination of your mehhanical methods.

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.
