Industry W age Survey—
Bituminous Coal Mining, N ovem ber 1962
Summary
Straight-time earnings of production and related workers in the Nation's
bituminous coal mining industry averaged $2,95 an hour, or $111 a week in
November 1962, according to a study conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Two-thirds of the 96,949 workers covered by the survey1 earned between $3 and
$ 3. 40 an hour. Reflecting differences in hours of work, individual weekly earn
ings were more widely dispersed than hourly earnings.
Workers in underground mines, accounting for 85 percent of the indus
try's work force, averaged $ 2. 97 an hour, compared with $2.87 for workers in
surface mines. On a weekly basis, however, workers in surface mines averaged
$12 more than those in underground mines. Average weekly hours worked were
42 in surface mines, compared with 36.5 in underground mines.
Among the seven major coal-producing States for which separate data are
provided, hourly earnings of workers in underground mines ranged from $3. 16 in
Illinois to $2. 63 in Virginia. Average weekly earnings of workers in these mines
ranged from $ 130. 50 in Illinois to $95 in Alabama. Data for surface mines were
developed separately for three States: Average hourly earnings for workers in
these mines were $3.44 in Illinois, $2.63 in Ohio, and $2. 08 in Pennsylvania.
Weekly earnings were $151, $ 107.50, and $92.50, respectively.
Earnings information was developed separately for occupations accounting
for four-fifths of the workers in both underground and surface mines.
Approximately four-fifths of the workers covered by the study were in
mines having agreements with labor organizations. All but a small proportion of
these were affiliated with the United Mine Workers of America (Ind. ) (UMWA).
Members of the UMWA typically received paid vacations and also received bene
fits provided by the union's welfare and pension fund to which operators contrib
uted a stipulated amount for each ton of coal produced.
Industry Characteristics
Half of the electricity and a fourth of all energy produced in the United
States is generated from bituminous coal. Coal also provides the coke required
in steelmaking, the carbon is used for the production of chemicals, and the power
far the manufacture of many products. 2
1 See appendix A for scope and method of survey. Wage data contained in this bulletin exclude premium
pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
2 For historical data on the structure and other aspects o f the industry, see T echn ological Change and Produc
tivity in the Bituminous Coal Industry, 1920-60 (BLS Bulletin 1305, 1961).

In 1962, approximately 120, 000 production workers 3 mined and processed
422 million short tons 4 of bituminous coal. The number of workers has declined
almost continuously since 1948, the postwar peak, when an average of 420, 000
production and related workers were employed. This substantial employment
decline, which adversely affected many coal areas at a time of high economic
activity in the Nation as a whole, has been due to both reduced production and
increased man-hour output.
The alltime peak production of bituminous coal, 630.6 million tons, was
reached in 1947. Between 1958 and 1962, the annual rate of production has ranged
between 403 and 422 million tons.5 Other fuels (primarily petroleum and natural
gas) have displaced coal, in varying degrees, in three principal markets: (1) Rail
roads, (2) residential and commercial heating, and (3) factories utilizing steampower. Electric utilities are now the largest and fastest growing consumers
of coal.
In order to meet competition from other fuels and to curb rising p ro
duction costs, the coal industry has undertaken large-scale mechanization and
mine modernization since the end of the w ar.6 The output per man-hour in the
industry increased faster between 1949— than in the preceding 30-year period. 7
59
The most important postwar development was the expansion of mechanization in
underground mining. This included the widespread adoption of the mechanical
loader, conveyorization, and the introduction of the continuous-mining machine
which integrates cutting and loading into a continuous sequence and eliminates
drilling and blasting. In 1952, the first year of record, only 2 percent of the
coal was mined by continuous-mining machines; in 1959, this method accounted for
nearly a fourth of all coal produced from underground m ines.8
The continued growth of surface mining has also contributed to the in
creased output per man-hour in the industry. Man-days* output in surface mines
has been two or three times greater than in underground mines. In I960, surface
mines accounted for 31 percent of the coal production, compared with 22 percent
in 1947.
Seven States accounted for nine-tenths of the 96,949 production and re
lated workers covered by this study. West Virginia, the leading coal-producing
State, employed more than a third of the industry*s work force in November 1962.
Pennsylvania employed about a sixth of the workers, and Kentucky an eighth.
Alabama, Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia each employed from 5 to 8 percent of the
workers in the industry.
Underground mines employed 85 percent of the production and related
workers covered by the study. Such mines accounted for nine-tenths or more of
the workers in Alabama, Virginia, and West Virginia; slightly more than fourfifths in Kentucky and Pennsylvania; three-fifths in Illinois; and slightly less than
half in Ohio. Mines operating preparation plants (cleaning, crushing, and sizing
coal) in conjunction with their mining operations accounted for three-fourths of
the workers in this segment of the industry. 9 Underground mines were classified
by type of mine opening and predominant mining method. Nationwide, drift mines

w ell as separate preparation plants. Mines employing fewer than 10 workers and separate preparation plants were ex
cluded from this survey.

accounted for 56 percent of the total production-worker employment in underground
mines; slope mines, 29 percent; and shaft mines, 15 percent. Nearly two-thirds
of the workers were in mines primarily using coal-cutting machines; a third were
in mines using continuous-mining machines; and a small proportion (less than
5 percent) were in mines cutting coal by hand. As indicated in the following
tabulation, these proportions varied substantially by State.

2 Less than 0. 5 percent.
NOTE: Because o f rounding, sums o f individual items may not equal 100.
Surface mining, accounting for approximately 15 percent of the workers
covered by the survey, generally refers to strip or open-pit mining, although a
small proportion (3 percent) of the surface-mine workers were in auger mines.
In strip or open-pit mining, large machines rip away the earth*s crust to expose
coal seams. Auger mining uses a machine that extracts coal by drilling into a
coal seam covered by overburden generally too thick to remove economically by
conventional strip mining methods.
In terms of employment, underground mines are usually larger than sur
face mines. Thus, mines with 100 or more workers accounted for nearly threefourths of the total employment in underground mines within scope of the survey,
compared with about three-tenths in surface mines.
Men accounted for practically all of the production and related workers
covered by the study. Slightly more than nine-tenths of the workers were paid
on a time-rate basis. Eight percent of the workers in underground mines were
paid incentive rates, most commonly based on individual production. Wage in
centives were virtually nonexistent in surface mines.
Mines with collective bargaining agreements covering a majority of their
production and related workers employed slightly more than four-fifths of the
industryfs work force. The proportion was nearly nine-tenths in underground
mines, compared with three-fifths in surface mines. As illustrated in the fol
lowing tabulation, the proportion of workers in union mines varied among the
major coal-producing States. It should be noted that the survey excluded mines
employing fewer than 10 workers; somewhat different estimates might result from
their inclusion. The UMWA(Ind.) accounted for all but about 2 percent of the workers
in union mines. A few of the mines, notably in Illinois, had contracts with the
Progressive Mine Workers Union (Ind. ).

NOTE: Dashes indicate insufficient data to warrant publication o f estimates.
The survey was conducted at a time of general labor unrest in the b i
tuminous coal industry. This unrest was particularly acute in the coal fields of
eastern Kentucky. Chronic unemployment and loss of benefits paid through the
UMWA Welfare Fund1 contributed to this condition. Several months before the
0
Bureau's study was conducted, many of the mines in the eastern Kentucky area
(as well as some in other areas) reportedly stopped paying the royalty specified
under contracts with UMWA; the operators insisted that they could not pay the
royalty and stay in business. Although the Bureau's study was not designed to
report on royalty payments, conversations with individual operators contributing
to the study indicated that there were, as reported, several UMWA mines that
did not pay the full royalty specified under contract in November 1962. It is not
known what proportion of the workers were in such mines, but it is believed to
be relatively small. In accordance with its announced p o licy 1 the UMWA re
1
portedly withdrew benefits from members working in mines where full royalty
payments were not being made.
Under UMWA Fund auspices, the Miners Memorial Hospital Association
has operated 10 hospitals located in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. In
October 1962, the fund announced it would divest itself of its interest in the
10 hospitals and would negotiate for their sale and transfer to other agencies. 1
2
On June 14, 1963, the Area Redevelopment Administration (ARA) in the De
partment of Commerce approved an application of the Board of National Missions
of the United Presbyterian Church for a grant of $ 3. 9 million for purchase of
the five Miners Memorial Hospitals in Kentucky located in Hazard, Harlan,
McDowell, Middlesboro, and Whitesburg Counties. The remaining five hospitals
will continue to be operated by the Miners Memorial Hospital Association for at
least another year and if at a later date it seems advisable to include these hos
pitals in the group, the ARA within the limits of its authorized funds will give
consideration to an application covering these remaining hospitals. 1
3
10 The UMWA Welfare and Retirement Fund is financed from royalty payments by signatory operators on each
ton o f coal produced for use or for sale. At the tim e o f the study, the stipulated payment was 40 cents a ton.

Part I: Underground Mines
Average Hourly Earnings
Straight-time hourly earnings of the 82, 186 production and related work
ers in underground mines covered by the study averaged $2.97 in November 1962
(table 3). The seven States for which separate data are provided accounted for
nine-tenths of the employment in this branch of the industry. Average hourly
earnings among these States ranged from $3.16 in Illinois to $2.63 in Virginia.
Workers in West Virginia, accounting for two-fifths of the employment in under
ground mines, averaged $3 an hour. Data are also provided separately for six
Coal Act Production (CAP) Districts, in addition to Illinois and Ohio, each of
which constitutes a CAP D istrict.1
4
Differences in average hourly earnings among the selected States and
CAP Districts were considerably less when the comparisons were limited to
mines having labor-management contract agreements. As indicated in table 3,
average hourly earnings of workers in such mines in the four States for which
separate data are available (Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia)
were closely grouped around the national average of $3.11. In each of these
States and for the Nation as a whole, average hourly earnings were considerably
higher in union mines than in mines not having union contract agreements. Nation
wide, the difference was $1.13; among the four States, the differences were
94 cents in Pennsylvania, $1.05 in West Virginia, $1.19 in Kentucky, and $1.20
in Virginia.
Workers in underground mines employing 100 or more averaged 70 cents
an hour more than workers in the smaller underground mines. The wage advan
tage of workers in the larger mines amounted to 31 cents in Pennsylvania and
60 cents in West Virginia. In CAP Districts 3— Northern West Virginia, and
8— Southern No. 2, the difference was 93 cents. As indicated in the following
tabulation, mines with labor -management contracts accounted for a much larger
proportion of the workers in mines employing 100 or more than of those in the
smaller underground mines.

Three-fourths of the workers in underground mines earned between $3
and $3.50 an hour (table 4). All but a small proportion of the remainder earned
less than $3 an hour. This concentration of individual earnings within a com
paratively narrow range reflects the large proportion of workers covered by
UMWA contracts. Although the rates of pay established by these contracts vary
somewhat by location and by occupation, these differences are not usually large.
As illustrated in the tabulation on the following page, individual earnings in
Virginia, with the smallest proportion of union workers, were more widely dis
persed than those in other States.

NOTE: Because o f rounding, stuns o f individual items may not equal 100.
Another factor contributing to the comparatively narrow range of individual hourly
earnings was the extensive use of time rates of pay; incentive methods of wage
payment accounted for only 8 percent of the workers in underground mines.
Average Weekly Earnings
Workers in underground mines averaged $ 109 a week in November 1962.
Among the seven major coal-producing States, straight-time average weekly earn
ings ranged from $130.50 in Illinois to $95 in Alabama; weekly averages in the
other five States were between $101 and $114. Because of differences in average
weekly hours worked, the relative pay positions of the several States based on
weekly earnings were somewhat different from those based on hourly earnings.
For example, workers in Virginia averaged 15 cents an hour less than those in
Alabama, but because of a longer workweek (3872 compared with 34 hours) aver
aged $6 a week more. Although workers in Kentucky earned 35 cents an hour
less than workers in Pennsylvania, average weekly earnings of the former ex
ceeded those of the latter by $7.
Nationwide, workers in mines with labor-management contract agree
ments averaged $ 38 a week more than those in mines not having such agreements,
but were employed an average of 2 hours less a week. Having approximately
the same number of hours, workers in mines employing 100 or more averaged
$24.50 a week more than workers in the smaller mines.
Individual weekly earnings were more widely dispersed than hourly earn
ings. Approximately 4 percent of the workers earned less than $50 a week at
the time of the study; 11.6 percent earned between $50 and $75; 18 percent
earned between $75 and $100; 34.5 percent earned between $100 and $125; 26.7
percent earned between $ 125 and $150; and slightly more than 5 percent earned
$ 150 a week or more (table 5). Information on the distribution of weekly earn
ings by hours worked is provided in table 6.
Occupational Earnings
The occupational classifications for which average straight-time hourly
and weekly earnings are presented in table 7 accounted for approximately fourfifths of the production workers in underground mines within scope of the survey.
9
Nationwide, hourly averages for these jobs ranged from $ 3. 32 for main-;
tenance electricians, working above the ground, to $2.15 for hand loaders and
$2. 13 for pick miners* Of the six occupations averaging $3.25 or more an hour,
five were journeymen maintenance workers; operators of continuous-mining ma
chines averaged $3*28* Averages between $3 and $3*25 an hour were recorded
for 25 of the occupations, including such jobs as maintenance trades helpers,
drilling-machine operators, loading-machine operators, oilers and greasers,
shuttle-car operators, and roof bolters* Jobs as hand loaders and pick miners
were the only ones averaging less than $2.65 an hour. Accounting for approxi
mately 8 percent of the total employment in underground mines, workers in these
jobs were, for the most part, in the smaller, nonmechanized mines.
Average weekly earnings for all but eight of the jobs ranged from $ 100 to
$ 120. Inside (underground) jobs averaging $ 120 or more a week included: Main
tenance electricians ($133); maintenance mechanics ($125.50); maintenance e le c
tricians* helpers ($122); and loading-machine operators, combination coal and
rock ($120). Hand loaders averaged $73 a week and pick miners, working only
25l hours, $54. Among the outside workers, maintenance electricians averaged
lz
$125 and truckdrivers, other than trailer type, $99.50.
Occupational earnings were tabulated by State, CAP District, size of
mine, and labor-management contract status. Nationwide and in each of the
States and Districts where comparisons were possible, occupational hourly earn
ings were almost always higher in mines employing 100 or more than in smaller
mines (table 8), and higher in mines with union contracts than in those not having
such contracts (table 9).
Hourly earnings of individuals performing similar tasks were usually
grouped within comparatively narrow ranges (tables 10 through 15). For example,
more than four-fifths of the continuous-mining-machine operators and maintenance
mechanics (inside) earned between $3.30 and $3.40 an hour; a similar proportion
of shuttle-car operators and motormen (inside) earned between $3 and $3.10.
Hourly earnings of hand loaders, however, were widely dispersed. These work
ers were, for the most part, employed in the smaller mines which usually did
not have collective bargaining agreements.
Reflecting differences in hours of work, weekly earnings of these workers
were more widely distributed than were hourly earnings (tables 16 through 21).
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on work schedules, shift practices, and selected
supplementary benefits including paid holidays and vacations, retirement plans,
life insurance, sickness and accident insurance, hospitalization, surgical, and
medical benefits.
Scheduled Weekly Hours and Overtime Pay. Typically, different work
schedules applied to inside workers and to those working outside the mine on noncontinuous operations.1 Seven-tenths of those employed underground (inside) were
5
scheduled to work 40 hours a week; a 36l -hour workweek applied to three-fifths
U
of the outside workers (table 22). Work schedules for each group usually included
a 30-minute paid lunch period each day. Only about a tenth of the workers in
underground mines did not receive this benefit. Time required to travel from
the mine opening to the working face was included in the regular work schedule
for more than nine-tenths of the inside workers.
15
Less than 1 percent o f the employment in underground mines was accounted for by outside workers on con
tinuous operations, such as engineers and hoistmen. Work schedules for these workers were generally similar to those
for inside workers.
10
More than four-fifths of the inside workers were in mines providing
time and one-half the regular rate for all work performed in excess of 8 hours
a day and virtually all (97 percent) inside workers were in mines paying this
premium rate for work over 40 hours a week. Approximately three-fourths of
the outside workers (noncontinuous operations) were employed by mines paying
time and one-half after l l hours a day or 36 V hours a week; most of the re
U
4
maining workers in mines having formal overtime pay provisions were eligible
to receive time and one-half pay for work after 8 hours a day or 40 hours a
week (table 23).
Shift Differential P ractices. Approximately three-tenths of the workers
were employed on second-shift operations at the time of the study (table 24).
The large majority of these workers received 4 cents an hour above day-shift
rates. Third-shift operations accounted for a tenth of the workers; nearly all of
these received 6 cents above day-shift rates.
Paid Holidays. Provisions for paid holidays were virtually nonexistent
in this branch of the industry.
Paid Vacations. Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of service, were
provided by underground mines accounting for 86 percent of the workers in this
branch of the industry. With only a few exceptions, these workers received a
$200 vacation payment after 1 year or more of service. Pro rata payments were
provided workers with less than a year of service. Most of the workers not e li
gible for vacation payments were in mines not having labor-management contract
agreements. A few of the union mines, however, reported that they did not pro
vide vacation pay during the year of the study.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. Hospital and medical care bene
fits to miners and their dependents, benefits to widows and orphans, and pension
benefits were paid by the UMWA Welfare and Retirement Fund. Created in
1950, the fund is organized and administered (as a separate entity) independently
of the union and the coal operators, and derives its revenue from royalty pay
ments on each ton of coal produced for use or for sale by signatory operators.
Hospitalization, medical, and surgical benefits available to eligible bene
ficiaries included hospitalization for the length of time necessary in the opinion
of the attending physician, physicians1 services and drugs in the hospital, spe
cialists1 services on an in-patient and out-patient basis, physical rehabilitation
services, and certain drugs requiring long continued use outside the hospital.
Although mines having contracts with UMWA accounted for 86 percent of the
workers in underground mines, the proportions of workers eligible for these
benefits were somewhat lower. Recently, the fund announced that the eligibility
of miners for these benefits would be terminated if it was determined that their
employer was in flagrant violation of the agreement to pay the full amount of
royalty (40 cents a ton) to the trust fund.1 The Bureau’ s study was not designed
6
to obtain information on the status of mines with respect to royalty payments and
it is not possible to determine the exact proportions of workers eligible for
such benefits.
Widows and orphans benefits included cash payments of $50 a month for
11 months with a $ 100 payment for the twelfth and last month. Also included was
a funeral expense benefit of $350.
16
Footnote 11, op. cit.
11
Pension benefits amounted to $75 a month at the time of the study. Pen
sioners and their dependents were also eligible for hospital and medical care
benefits paid entirely by the fund.
Approximately a third of the workers in mines not having contracts with
UMWA were provided some form of health, insurance, or pension benefits. The
most common types of plans reported were life insurance, accidental death and
dismemberment insurance, sickness and accident insurance, hospitalization, sur
gical and medical insurance (table 25). Among the States for which separate data
are provided, the porportion of workers in non-UMWA mines that were eligible
for these benefits was greatest in Illinois.
Approximately one-fourth of the workers in Virginia and a fifth in Ken
tucky were in mines that did not provide any of the health, insurance, or pension
benefits studied.

Part II: Surface Mines
Average Hourly Earnings
Straight-time hourly earnings of the 14,763 production and related work
ers in surface mines covered by the study averaged $2.87 in November 1962
(table 26). Averages in the three States for which separate data are published
were: $3.44 in Illinois, $2.63 in Ohio, and $2.08 in Pennsylvania. Workers in
Coal Act Production District 1 (Eastern Pennsylvania) averaged $1.97 an hour.
Nationwide, workers in mines employing 100 or more averaged $3.41 an
hour, compared with $2. 64 for workers in mines employing a smaller number of
workers. Workers in mines having labor-management contracts averaged $1. 25 an
hour more than workers in the nonorganized mines— $ 3. 37 compared with $2. 12.
Mines having labor-management contracts accounted for all of the employment
in the larger mines and 43 percent of the workers in surface mines employing
fewer than 100.
Individual hourly earnings in surface mines were more widely dispersed
than those in underground mines (table 27). In the earnings array, the middle
half of the workers in surface mines had hourly earnings ranging between $2.23
and $3.42. (The corresponding range for workers in underground mines was
$3.01 to $ 3 .3 0 .) Much of this dispersion is accounted for by differences in
wage levels among the States. In each of the States for which separate data are
provided, individual earnings were more closely grouped. This was particularly
true in Illinois, where seven-tenths of the workers earned between $3.30 and
$ 3. 60 an hour.
Average Weekly Earnings
Workers in surface mines averaged $121 a week at the time of the study.
Although hourly earnings of these workers averaged 10 cents less than earnings
of workers in underground mines, their average weekly earnings were higher by
$12. Weekly hours for workers in surface mines averaged 42, compared with
3672 for those in underground mines.
Weekly earnings of surface-mine workers were $151 in Illinois, $107.50
in Ohio, and $92. 50 in Pennsylvania. Workers in CAP District 1 averaged
$ 89 a week.
Nationwide, workers in mines with labor-management contract agree
ments averaged $43 a week more than workers in mines not having such agree
ments, but worked an average of 4 hours a week less. Workers in mines em
ploying 100 or more averaged $35. 50 a week more than workers in the smaller
mines. Workers in the larger mines worked an average of 1 hour more than
those in mines employing fewer than 100.
Approximately 3 percent of the workers earned less than $50 a week;
26.5 percent earned between $50 and $100; 48.4 earned between $100 and $150;
and 22 percent earned $150 or more. Most of the workers earning $175 or more
were in Illinois (table 28). Information on the distribution of weekly earnings by
hours worked is provided in table 29.

43
Occupational Earnings
The occupational classifications for which average straight-time hourly
and weekly earnings are presented in table 30 accounted for approximately fourfifths of the production workers in surface mines within scope of the study. Na
tionwide, average hourly earnings for these jobs ranged from $3.43 for main
tenance electricians to $2.08 for slate pickers. Among the numerically most
important jobs studied, power-shovel operators averaged $3. 13 an hour; truckdrivers (all types), $2.92; bulldozer operators $2.72; and oilers and greas
ers, $2.54.
Average weekly earnings for the selected jobs ranged from $153.50 for
maintenance electricians to $77. 50 for slate pickers.
Occupational earnings were also tabulated for the United States by size
of mine and labor-management contract status. Where comparisons could be
made, occupational weekly and hourly earnings were higher in mines employing
100 or more than in smaller mines (table 31) and higher in mines with union
contracts than in those not having such contracts (table 32). Among the occupa
tions for which hourly earnings distributions are presented, earnings of workers
performing similar tasks were generally more widely distributed in surface mines
than in underground mines, as illustrated in the following tabulation:

Reflecting differences in hours worked, weekly earnings of surface-mine
workers in the occupations studied were more widely distributed than hourly earn
ings (tables 37 through 40).
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on work schedules, shift practices, and selected
supplementary benefits including paid holidays and vacations, retirement plans,
life insurance, sickness and accident insurance, hospitalization, surgical and
medical benefits.
44
Scheduled Weekly Hours and Overtime Pay, Work schedules of 40 hours
a week were in effect in surface mines employing three-tenths of the workers
and a slightly smaller proportion of workers were in mines having work schedules
of 36 V hours (table 41). Approximately a fifth of the workers were in mines
4
having 4372 -hour schedules.
The work schedules in surface mines, accounting for seven-tenths of
the workers in this branch of the industry, included a 30-minute paid lunch
period. Nearly all of the remaining workers were in mines that did not provide
paid lunch periods.
Half of the workers in this branch of the industry were in mines p ro
viding time and one-half the regular rate for all work performed in excess of
llU hours a day or 3674 hours a week (table 42). A tenth of the workers were
employed by mines paying time and one-half after 8 hours a day and more than
two-fifths were in mines providing this premium rate for work after 40 hours a
week. More than a fourth of the workers in Ohio and four-fifths in Pennsylvania
were employed by mines that did not provide premium pay for daily overtime
hours worked; three-eighths in Ohio were in mines having no formal policy for
daily overtime premium pay.
Shift Differential P ractices. More than a fifth of the surface-mine workers
were employed on second shifts and a tenth worked on third or other late shifts in
November 1962 (table 43). Approximately three-fifths of the second-shift work
ers received 4 cents per hour in addition to day-shift rates and three-fourths of
those on third or other late shifts received a 6-cent-per-hour differential. Among
the States for which data are shown, these provisions applied to nearly all shift
workers in Illinois, and about half of those in Ohio; the remainder of the workers
in Ohio and virtually all of those in Pennsylvania did not receive shift differen
tial payments.
Paid Holidays. Paid holiday provisions were practically nonexistent in
surface mines. Only about 3 percent of the workers were in mines having
such provisions.
Paid Vacations. Formal provisions for paid vacations after qualifying
periods of service were in effect in surface mines employing three-fourths of the
production and related workers. Mines employing three-fifths of the workers
provided payments of $200 after 1 year or more of service. Pro rata payments
were provided workers with less than 1 year of service. One-tenth of the work
ers were in mines providing 1 week of vacation pay after 1 year of service.
Approximately one-fourth of the workers in this branch of the industry were em
ployed by mines that did not provide paid vacations.
Health. Insurance, and Pension Plans. The UMWA welfare and pension
fund benefits, as described in the section dealing with underground mines, also
applied to surface mines, accounting for 56 percent of the workers in this branch
of the industry. More than half of the workers in surface mines not having con
tracts with the UMWA were provided some form of health, insurance, or pension
benefits. The most common types of insurance plans reported were life, a cci
dental death and dismemberment insurance, sickness and accident insurance, and
hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance (table 44). Among the States for
which separate data are presented, the non-UMWA mines visited in Illinois p ro
vided most of these benefits; in Ohio and Pennsylvania, approximately half of the
workers accounted for by non-UMWA mines were eligible for hospitalization and
surgical insurance and smaller proportions, for other benefits. More than onethird of the surface-mine workers in Ohio and two-fifths in Pennsylvania were
in mines that did not provide any of the health, insurance, or pension bene
fits studied.

Appendix A: Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey included establishm ents p rim a rily engaged in producing bituminous coal
o r in developing bituminous coa l m ines, but excluded establishm ents lim ited to coa l cleaning
a n d /or preparation (part of industry 1211 as defined in the 1957 edition of the Standard In
dustrial C la ssifica tion Manual). Included w ere underground, strip, and auger mining, and
coal cleaning, crushing, screenin g, and sizing plants operated in conjunction with the mines
served.
Separate auxiliary units such as central o ffice s w ere excluded.
The m ines studied w ere selected fro m those em ploying 10 o r m ore w ork ers at the
tim e of referen ce of the data used in com piling the universe lis t.
This list was obtained
fro m the U .S. Bureau o f M ines.
The number of establishm ents and w ork ers actually studied by the Bureau, as w ell
as the number estim ated to be in the industry during the p ayroll p eriod studied, are shown
in the table on the follow ing page.
Method o f Study
Data w ere obtained by personal visits of Bureau field econ om ists under the direction
of the Bureau*s A ssistant R egional D irectors fo r Wages and Industrial R elations.
The survey
was conducted on a sam ple b a sis.
To obtain appropriate a ccu racy at minimum cost, a
greater proportion of large than of sm all establishm ents was studied.
In com bining the data,
however, all establishm ents w ere given their appropriate weight.
A ll estim ates are p r e
sented, th erefore, as relating to all establishm ents in the industry group, excluding only
those below the m inimum size at the tim e of refe re n ce of the universe data.
Establishment Definition
An establishm ent fo r purposes of this study is defined as a single mine with or
without a coa l preparation plant.
Individual shafts, openings, o r sites are not con sidered
as separate mining establishm ents if they are in the same loca lity and operated by com m on
management or joint handling.
An establishm ent, how ever, is not n e ce s s a rily identical with
the com pany, which may con sist of one or m ore establishm ents (m ines).
Coal Act Production D istricts
The Bituminous Coal Act of 1937 defines 23 production d is tricts.

N onsupervisory Production W orkers
The term n on su pervisory production w orkers as used in this bulletin includes w ork
ing forem en and all n on su pervisory w ork ers (including leadm en and train ees) engaged in e x
cavation, haulage, trucking, hoisting, ventilation, drainage, d rillin g, blastin g, loading, cru sh
ing, p ro ce ssin g , inspection, storage handling, warehousing, shipping, m aintenance, rep a ir,
ja n itoria l, watchmen s e r v ic e s , developm ent (except con struction p e rfo rm e d by separate w ork
fo r c e ), auxiliary production fo r plantfs own use (e .g . , powerplant), and recordkeeping and
other s e rv ice s clo s e ly a ssociated with the above production op erations.
Occupations S elected fo r Study
Occupational cla ssifica tion was based on a uniform set o f job description s designed
to take account of inter establishm ent and inter are a variations in duties within the same jo b .
(See appendix B fo r these job d e s c r ip tio n s .) The occupations w ere chosen fo r their num erical
im portance, their usefulness in co llectiv e bargaining, o r their represen tativen ess o f the en
tire job sca le in the industry.
W orking s u p e rv iso rs, appren tices, le a rn e rs , begin n ers,
train ees, handicapped, p a rt-tim e, tem p orary, and probationary w ork ers w ere not reported
in the data for selected occupations, but w ere included in the data fo r all production w ork ers.
Wage Data
The wage inform ation relates to average straigh t-tim e hourly and w eekly earnings,
excluding prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, arid late shifts.
Incentive paym ents, such as those resulting from p iecew ork o r production bonus system s,
and co s t-o f-liv in g bonuses w ere included as part o f the w o r k e r s 1 regular pay; but nonpro
duction bonus paym ents, such as C hristm as o r yearend bonuses, w ere excluded.
W eekly
earnings are the product o f straigh t-tim e hourly earnings and w eekly hours w orked, including
paid-lunch p eriod s.
C om parison With Other Statistics
The straight-tim e hourly and w eekly earnings presen ted in this bulletin differ in
concept from the g ross average hourly and w eekly earnings published in the B ureau's monthly
hours and earnings s e r ie s .
Unlike the latter, the estim ates presen ted here exclude prem ium
pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
A verage earnings are
calculated fro m the weighted data by summing individual hourly and w eekly earnings and di
viding by the number of individual wage ea rn ers.
In the monthly s e r ie s , the sum o f the m an
hour totals rep orted by establishm ents in the industry is divided into the reported p ayroll
totals to determ ine hourly earnings; w eekly earnings are the product o f average w eekly hours
and hourly earnings.
Establishm ent P ra ctice s and Supplementary Wage P rovision s
Supplementary benefits and p ra ctices w ere treated statistically on the b asis that if
form a l p rovision s fo r supplem entary benefits and p ra ctice s w ere applicable to half o r m ore
o f the production w ork ers in an establishm ent, the p ra ctice s o r benefits w ere con sidered
applicable to all such w ork ers.
S im ilarly, if few er than half o f the w ork ers w ere cov ered ,
the p ra ctice o r benefit was con sid ered nonexistent in the establishm ent.
Because* o f lengtho f-s e r v ic e and other eligib ility requ irem en ts, the p rop ortion o f w ork ers receiv in g the b en e
fits m ay be sm aller than estim ated.
Scheduled W eekly H ours. Data re fe r to the predom inant w ork schedule, including
paid lunch p eriod s, for fu ll-tim e production w orkers em ployed on the day shift.
A verage W eekly Hours W orked.
Data relate to the w eekly hours actually worked,
including paid lunch p eriod s, by em ployees during the p ayroll p eriod studied.
Shift P r a c tice s and D ifferen tia ls. Data relate to shift p ra ctice s o f establishm ents
during the p ayroll p eriod studied, and are presented in term s o f the p roportion o f p rod u c
tion w orkers actually em ployed under the conditions sp ecified .
Paid V acation s. The sum m ary of vacation plans is lim ited to form a l arrangem ents,
excluding inform al plans w hereby time off with pay is granted at the d iscretion o f the e m
p loyer or the su p ervisor.
Appendix B: Occupational Descriptions
The p rim a ry purpose of preparing job d escription s
for the B ureau’ s wage surveys is to a ssist its fie ld staff
in classifyin g into appropriate occupations w orkers who
are em ployed under a variety of p ayroll titles and d if
feren t w ork arrangem ents from establishm ent to estab
lishm ent and from area to area. This perm its the grouping
o f occupational wage rates representing com parable job
content.
B ecause of this em phasis on inter establishm ent
and interarea com parability of occupational content, the
B u rea u 's job d escription s may d iffer significantly from
those in use in individual establishm ents o r those p r e
pared fo r other p u rp oses.
In applying these jo b d e s c r ip
tions, the B u rea u 's field econom ists are instructed to
exclude working s u p erv isors, appren tices, le a rn e rs, b e
ginners, train ees, handicapped, p a rt-tim e , tem porary,
and probationary w ork ers.
