HOURS AND EARNINGS IN ANTHRACITE COAL MINING IN 1919 AND
1920, AND IN BITUMINOUS COAL MINING IN 1919.
INTRODUCTION.
This report shows the earnings and hours of labor of coal mine
employees as taken from the records of representative mines.
Figures are presented for bituminous mine employees for a sample
pay period in 1919, and for anthracite mine employees for sample
pay periods in both 1919 and 1920. Funds were not available for
collecting data for bituminous mines in 1920. All employees for
whom figures are presented are males.
The material on which this report is based is for a half-month
pay-roll period and was obtained from the pay rolls of the com­
panies by agents of the Bureau. For employees who are j>aid on
a tonnage basis it was necessary to make arrangements with the
companies to keep a record of the hours on duty. This was done
by noting the time when the employee entered and left the mine.
Emplo}^ees work in various parts of the mine and at unequal dis­
tances from the entrance. It is estimated that it takes employees
from 15 minutes up to an hour in some instances to get from the
entrance of the mine to their places of work. Consequently all the
figures relating to the hours of these employees represent the time
in the mine.
The most satisfactory method of obtaining data for a report on
any industry would be "to secure the data from all companies for the
same pay-roll period. This was done for anthracite mines because
the anthracite coal field is limited to 10 counties in Pennsylvania.
It wras not practicable to do so for bituminous mines with the limited
force of the Bureau, because the field of inquiry extended over 18
States, and as stated special time records had to be kept for employees
who are paid tonnage rates. The pay-roll periods for anthracite
mines are for the half months ending January 31, 1919, and March
31, 1920. The half-months' pay-rolls for bituminous mines vary as
to date, but are within the period beginning January 16 and ending
May 31, 1919.
War-time requirements made it necessary to increase the produc­
tion of coal in 1917 and 1918. During the latter part of 1918 pro­
duction fell off, and continued to decrease until it was much below
normal in February and March, 1919. It was on the increase in April
and May, but was still under normal. Many mines were in operation
less than their regular full-time hours.

The following table, partly compiled from “ Coal in 1918,” a report
published bv the United States Geological Survey, indicates the
importance of the industry, and shows by States, arranged in the
order of net tons produced, the following facts: Number of persons
employed, average number of days mines were in operation, number
of tons produced, and value of product at the mines, in 1918. The
last two columns show by States the number of employees and mines
for which the Bureau presents figures in this report.

Washington, May 28, 1920.
%Sixteen mimes and 10,821 employees were eovesedi in 192ft.
3 Alaska, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Oregon, South. Dakota, Texas, and Washington.

Material was obtained for 201 bituminous mines that were m
operation one-half to full time during the half-month pay-rail
period for which the information was taken, and for 27 mines that
were in operation less than one-half of full time. The 27 mines are
included in Table 3, page 10, but are not included in other tables of
this report, because their production was so far below normal that the
figures might not be considered representative.
SUMMARY OF GENESAL TABLES.

The following table is- a summary of the general tables of this
report. For details see general tables,, pages 23 to 110. Anthracite
and bituminous figures are given separately with underground occu­
pations shown under inside work and above ground occupations

SUMMARY OF GENERAL TABLES.

shown under outside work. To illustrate the tables, the figures for
inside blacksmiths in anthracite mines show that 30 were employed
in 13 mines during the half'-month pay-roll period in 1919 for which
data were obtained; that their average full-time hours per week were
48 and 112 in the half month; that they actually worked an average
of 124.7 hours during the half month; that their average earnings
per hour were $0.59; that they actually earned an average of $73.56
during the half month; and that their computed average full time
earnings for the half month were $66.26.
For employees of bituminous mines it will be noticed that as a rule
the three actual mining occupations, hand miners, machine miners,
and loaders, show higher average earnings per hour than any of the
other occupations. Employees in these occupations are as a rule
paid on a tonnage basis, while employees in other occupations are
paid hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly rates. Occasionally, however,
one or more of these occupations are paid at a time rate. In Virginia
fully 50 per cent of the machine miners are paid at an hourly rate.
In Oklahoma practically all of them are so paid. That may account
for the fact that in the latter State loaders who are paid on a tonnage
basis made higher average earnings per hour than machine miners.

Full-time hours per week are the regular hours that mines are
open for work during a week. The regular hours were 48 per week
or 8 per day, 6 days, for approximately 98 per cent of the employees
of the anthracite mines for inside work in 1919 and 1920, and 89 per
cent for outside work in 1919 and 85 per cent in 1920. The regular
hours were 48 per week or 8 per day, 6 days, for approximately 95
per cent of the employees of the bituminous mines for inside work
and 79 per cent for outside work in 1919.
Full-time hours in half month are the regular hours that mines
are open for work during one half month. The half month for the
mines covered in this report was 13, 15, or 16 days, including Sun­
days. In all cases the first half of a month was 15 days. The last
half was 16 for months of 31 days, 15 for months of 30 days, and 13
days for February. The average hours actually worked in the
half month is the result obtained by dividing the total number of
hours actually worked in the half month by all employees in the
occupation by the number of employees in the occupation.
The average earnings per hour is the result obtained by dividing
the total of the actual earnings of all employees in the occupation
by the total of the actual hours worked in the half-month pay-roll
period for wdiich data were obtained. Average earnings per hour
were obtained for each employee by dividing the actual earnings
received by hours actually worked.
The average earnings actually received in a half month is the
result obtained by dividing the total earnings of all employees in
the occupation by the number of employees in the occupation.

The average full-time earnings in the half month is the result
obtained by adding the average earnings per hour of all employees
in the occupation whose full-time hours in the half month are the
same and multiplying the sum by their full-time hours; combining
the products for the groups of employees in the occupations whose
full-time hours are different; and dividing the sum of the products
by the total number of employees in the occupation. The full­
time hours in a half month 01 18 days, 11 week days of 8 hours each
and 2 Sundays, are 88; of 14 days are 96; of 15 days are 104, and in
a half month of 16 days are 112.
The table below shows that average earnings per hour were as a
rule higher for employees of mines that were in operation less than
one-half of full time in the pay period taken than for employees of
mines that were in operation one-half to full time. This is especially
true of loaders, hand miners,, and machine miners, who are paid on a
tonnage basis, and seems to indicate that employees in these occupa­
tions speed up when mines are running short time, thereby earning
more per hour than where mines are in operation full time; over
26,000, or approximately 65 per cent, of all bituminous employees
covered in this report are included; in these three occupations. Brakemen, cagers, laborers, pumpmen, and trappers are exceptions to
the above rule. Less than 4,500 employees, or approximately 11
per cent of all bituminous employees, included in this report are
included in these five occupations.

CONTRACT MINERS.

Contract miners is the most important occupation in the anthracite
division of the coal-mining industry. As employees in this occupa­
tion are paid on a tonnage basis, and as the Bureau has no information
relating to hours and earnings prior to 1919, index numbers (percent­
ages of change) can not be computed for this occupation for earlier
years by the usual method; that is, on the basis of actual rates or
earnings per hour. The only alternative is to show the percentage
of change in gross tonnage rates. This has been done, beginning
with the 1902 rates as the basis of comparison, or 100. Actual gross
tonnage rates differ from mine to mine and even within a mine, but
the percentage of increase in gross-tonnage rates made from time to
time has applied uniformly to the then existing rates. In 1903 the
Anthracite Coal Commission made an award in which contract miners
were given a 10 per cent increase over the 1902 tonnage rate, and also
provided for an additional increase of 1 per cent on and over the
minimum rate for 1903 (110) for each 5-cent advance in the April,
1903, wholesale price of coal at New York City. The 1903 award
continued in effect 9 years. During these years the 10 per cent
increase plus the per cent increase due to the advance in the wholesale
price of coal at New York City over the April, 1903, price resulted in a
sliding scale, the increases over 1902 varying from 14.22 per cent in
1907 to 14.95 per cent in 1904 and 1911. The agreement of May,
1912, abolished the sliding scale or the 1 per cent increase for each
5-cent advance in the April, 1903, wholesale price of coal at New
York City, and gave a 10 per cent increase over the minimum rate
(110) for 1903, thereby making the index number 121 for 1912. This
agreement continued in force 4 years or to March 31, 1916. The
agreement of May, 1916, increased the rate 7 per cent over the 1915
rate. The agreement of May, 1917, made an increase of 10 per cent
over the 1916 rate; the November, 1917, agreement made an increase
of 25 per cent over the 1916 rate; the November, 1918, agreement
which continued in force to April, 1920, made an increase of 40 per
cent over the 1916 rate; and the August, 1920, award of the Anthra­
cite Coal Commission, retroactive to April 1, 1920, increased the
gross-tonnage rate 65 per cent over the 1916 rate.
The index numbers presented below are therefore based on gross
tonnage with the 1902 rate the base or 100; they are not based on
net tonnage rates, or on average rates of wages or earnings per
hour. As deductions for helpers and for supplies have not changed
in the same proportion these figures can not be assumed as represent­
ing the changes in net earnings.

PICK OR HAND MINERS.
Pick or hand miners is the most important occupation in the
bituminous division of the coai-mining industry. Employees in this
occupation, like contract miners in the anthracite division of the
industry, are paid on a tonnage basis. Since the Bureau has no
information as to hours and earnings for any year except 1919,
index numbers can not be computed for this occupation on the basis
of rates or earnings per hour. Gross-tonnage rates for run of mine
were obtained for the occupation from agreements between coal
operators and miners of the Hocking Valley district of Ohio for the
years, 1902 to 1918; from the award of the Fuel Administration for
1919, and from the award of the Bituminous Coal Commission for
1920. The Hocking Valley district is the basing district of Ohio,
and is part of the central competitive field, consisting of Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, and western Pennsylvania. Index numbers have
been computed from the gross tonnage rates for those years with
the 1902 tonnage rate the base, or 100, and are presented here.
The year or period of agreement and the gross-tonnage rate are also
shown.

INDEX NUMBERS.
Rates and index numbers are presented below for five groups of
employees in the Hocking Valley district. Employees in these groups
work inside the mines. Rates were obtained from a copy of the
scale of rates for the Hocking Valley district of Ohio for 1913 to 1918;
from the award of the Fuel Administration for 1919, and from the
award of the Bituminous Coal Commission for 1920.
The gross-tonnage rate for machine cutting has been combined
with the gross-tonnage rate for loading, thus making a gross-tonnage
rate for cutters and loaders combined. This is done because the gross
tonnage rate for pick or hand miners covers both the mining and
loading of coal.
Index numbers for cutters and loaders, and for pick or hand miners
have been computed from the gross tonnage rates here shown with the
1913 rate the base, or 100; they are not based on net tonnage rates or
on average rates or earnings per hour. Index numbers for the other
three groups are based on actual rates of wages per day.

DAYS IN OPERATION IN ONE YEAR.

Average and classified days of operation in one year are presented
in the following table for the mines of each State for which figures are
shown in this report. It will be observed that for 10 States the year
reported ends December 31,1918, for 3 it ends April 30,1919, and that
for the other 5 States the year ends on different dates. Totals for
all States are not shown because the year is not for the same period
for all States. Comparison of figures should not be made between
States except those with the same year ending.
Keports were not obtained for 9 mines. The average days of
operation are for all the mines of a State for which days of operation
are reported.

DAYS CLOSED AND CAUSES.
In the following table average days of operation arid average days
closed on account of specified canses are shown for each State.
Totals are not shown for all States combined because the “ year
ending” is not the same for all States. Comparisons should be made
only between States with the year of the same period. The average
number of days closed are for mines that were actually closed for a
specified cause and for all mines for which complete information was
reported. Example: Seventeen mines in Colorado were closed for a
total of 344 days on account of lack of orders, or for an average, of
20.2 days. One mine was not closed for this cause. The average
for the 18 mines is 19.1 days.
Some mines were closed on account of “ vacations,” which, are here
classed as strikes. In September, 1920, a large number of anthracite
miners refrained from work of their own accord, against the advice
of their union leaders and without consulting officials of the mines
in which they were employed, declaring that they were taking a
vacation. They were not satisfied with an award which had been
made and requested President Wilson to reconvene the joint scale
committee of operators and miners for the purpose of considering
a new wage award. The President in-his reply refused to reconvene
the committee and said, “ When a body of men collectively refrain
from working bv mutual understanding, however arrived at, it is a
strike no matter what name may be given to it.”

NUMBER OF STARTS (DAYS) PER HALF MONTH.

The following table shows the number of starts (days) made in
the half month ending January 31, 1919, by anthracite employees.
There were 14 week days and 2 Sundays in the half month. As each
employee entered the mine he was checked-in as having made a start
to work. Starts as shown in this table means the number of days
on which an employee worked in the mine. He is recorded as making
a start regardless of the number of hours he worked.

parable are included in it. It will be noticed that bratticemen and
timbermen in bituminous mines are grouped together whereas for
anthracite mines each is given separately. This difference in method
of treatment reflects the fact that in bituminous mines the same
employee often performs both kinds of work, whereas in anthra­
cite mines the duties of the two positions are quite distinct.

In addition to presenting separately the earnings of “ Miners,
hand/’ and “ Miners, machine/7in bituminous mining and of “ Miners,
company,” “ Miners, consideration,” and “ Miners, contract,” in
anthracite mining, the chart presents earnings for the two classes
of bituminous miners combined and for the three classes of an­
thracite miners combined. The effect of making this combination is
to bring the two averages more closely together than the several
separate averages would seem to justify. This result is due to the
fact that in bituminous mining by far the larger group, hand miners,
is the group with comparatively low hourly earnings, while the largest
group of anthracite miners, the contract miners, has hourly earnings
much in excess of the earnings of company miners or consideration
miners. The comparison for all miners combined shows hourly
earnings remarkably close together in the two branches of the industry Q

APPENDIX.— DEFINITIONS OF OCCUPATIONS.
Each of the occupations for which figures are presented in this
report is briefly defined below7.
If a definition applies to an inside occupation the word “ inside”
follows the name of the occupation. Example— “ Brakemen, inside.”
If it applies to outside woA: the word “ outside” follows the name.
Example— “ Ashmen, outside.” If the occupation is found both
inside and outside the mine no modifying word is used. Example—•
“ Blacksmiths.”
The same rule has been followed to indicate anthracite and
bituminous mine occupations.
Ashmen, outside, anthracite.— Remove ashes from beneath the fire­
box of boilers by flushing or by shoveling the ashes into cars.
Blacksmiths.— Do general blacksmithing, nearly all repair work.
Brakemen, inside.— Also known as trip riders, trailers, and tailers.
In anthracite mines they are called motor brakemen. They operate
or throw switches; couple and uncouple cars; assist motor men in the
transportation of loaded coal cars from switches or sidings in the mines
to the shaft, and of empty cars from the shaft to the switches or
sidings. Loaded cars are hauled by mules from rooms in wThich coal
is mined to the switches and empty cars from the switches to the
rooms.
Bratticemen, inside.— Sometimes also called airmen. They usually
work under the supervision of the fire boss whose duty it is to see
that the mine is prepared for ventilation and for protection against
fire. They construct brattices of wood, canvas, stone, brick, or
cement. ’This work is of great importance in mines affected by gas
as such mines must be thoroughly ventilated.
Cagers.— Also called bottomers and dumpers. They are stationed
at the shaft inside the mine and at the top of the shaft outside the
mine. Those inside the mine place loaded coal cars in the cage
and take empty cars out of it. Those outside the mine take loaded
cars from the cage and place empty cars in it.
Carpenters, outside.— 1)0 general carpentry repair work on mine cars
and breakers. Breakers are machines used in breaking large lumps
of anthracite coal.
Car runners, inside, anthracite.— In some mines cars are run by
gravity from rooms or chambers in which coal is mined to switches
or sidings, or to shafts or from switches or shafts to rooms or cham­
bers. Cars so run are in charge of car runners who control their
speed or stop them by brakes or sprags.
Car runners, outside, anthracite.— Transfer empty railroad cars to
breaker chutes and loaded cars from chutes over a section of the
railroad track where scales are installed for weighing cars.
Door tenders, inside (boys), anthracite.— Also called trappers.
They open ventilating doors to let cars through them to and from
the shaft and close them as quickly and securely as possible as soon




il l

112

HOUES AND EARNINGS IN COAL M IN IN G .

as the cars have passed. In some mines there are no door tenders
as the doors are opened and closed automatically.
Drivers, inside.— Drive mules into and out of rooms in which coal
is mined, hauling loaded coal cars from rooms to switches or sidings
where cars are assembled for transportation by motor to the shaft,
and empty cars from switches to the rooms. In mines where the
distance from the rooms to the shaft is short, the haul is from the
room to the shaft and return, no motor being used.
Dumpers, outside, anthracite.— Dump loaded coal cars at the tipple
by hand or by operating mechanical apparatus.
Engineers.— Operate and repair ventilating fans inside the mines
and breaker machinery outside the mines. Operate and inspect
hoisting machinery which is used in lifting employees and loaded
coal cars in cages to the top of the shaft and in lowering employees,
empty cars, and material from the top of the shaft into the mines.
Firemen, outside.— Keep fires burning under boilers to produce
steam by shoveling coal into the fire box as needed and by keeping
the fire box clear of ashes and clinkers.
Jig runners, outside, anthracite.— Operate a jig, a mechanical
contrivance or part of the breaker machine, which cleans coal by
removing slate, rock, and waste material.
Laborers.— Do various kinds of unskilled inside and outside wTork.
They push cars, assist trackmen and timbermen, shovel dirt and
handle material, and do other necessary unskilled work about the
mines. In anthracite mines company miners7 laborers and con­
sideration miners7 laborers are not included with these laborers,
because they are paid a higher wage than is paid to these.
Laborers, company miners’ , inside, anthracite.— Load cars and assist
company miners in drilling holes into stone or coal for explosives.
The drilling is done with electric or compressed-air machines. Com­
pany miners seldom mine any coal, it being their duty to remove
obstructions and prospect for new chambers or rooms. These
laborers are paid a time rate which is a little lower than that of
“ Laborers, consideration miners7.77
Laborers, consideration miners’ , anthracite.— Load cars and assist
consideration miners in drilling holes into coal or stone for explosives.
The drilling is done with electric or compressed-air coal-mining
machines. They become contract miners7 laborers when working
conditions improve and miners are able to earn on a tonnage basis
more than the fixed or specified time rate of consideration miners.
They are paid a time rate when working as consideration miners7
laborers, the rate being a little higher than that of company miners7
laborers and are paid on a tonnage basis when working as contract
miners7 laborers.
Laborers} contract miners’ , inside, anthracite.— Load cars and assist
contract miners in operating electric or compressed-air coal-mining
machines which are used in drilling holes into coal for explosives.
They become consideration miners7 laborers when mining or working
conditions are abnormal, due to obstructions, such as stone, slate,
and dirt, and when contract miners are thereby unable to earn on
a tonnage basis more than the fixed or specified rate of consideration
miners. They are paid on a tonnage basis when contract miners7
laborers and a time rate when consideration miners7 laborers. The




DEFINITIONS OF OCCUPATIONS.

rate as consideration miners’ laborers is a little higher than that of
company miner’s laborers.
Loaders, inside, bituminous.— Shoot or blast coal from veins or
beds after it has been undercut by machine miners and then load the
coal into cars with coal-loading machines. In some mines they do
the timbering; that is, set props or timbers to prevent the falling of
slate, stone, and earth into the rooms of the mines; also lay tracks
in rooms of mines and keep rooms in good working condition.
Loaders, outside, anthracite.— Load coal into railroad cars and
refuse into mine cars.
Machinists, anthracite.— Install and repair machines and machinery.
Masons, inside, anthracite.— Construct necessary air bridges and
walls to conduct or force air into all parts of the mine.
Miners, company, inside, anthracite.— These employees very seldom
mine coal. They operate electric or compressed-air machines, drill
holes into stone or coal for explosives, and load cars. They are
usually engaged in removing obstructions in the mines and in
prospecting for profitable mining chambers. They are paid a time
rate which is a little less than that of the consideration miner and
are called “ company miners” to distinguish them from the consid­
eration miner.
Miners, consideration, inside, anthracite.— Operate electric or com­
pressed air coal mining machines, drill holes into coal or stone for
explosives, and also load coal into cars. These employees are regular
contract miners who, in consequence of obstructions in their working
chambers or rooms, such as stone, slate, dirt, or of bad working
conditions, are unable to earn on a tonnage basis an amount equal
to or in excess of a certain specified rate per day. They are paid
the specified rate, which is a little more than that of company miners,
until they are able to earn more on a tonnage basis.
Miners, contract, inside, anthracite.— Operate electric or compressedair coal-mining machines, drill holes into coal for explosives, and
also load coal into cars. They are paid on a tonnage basis. A
contract miner becomes a consideration miner when, owing to ob­
structions in his working chamber or room, such as stone, slate, or
dirt, he is unable to earn an amount in excess of a fixed or specified
rate per day. He then becomes a consideration miner and is paid
the fixed rate per day until he is able to earn more on a tonnage basis.
Miners, hand or pick, inside, bituminous.— Undercut coal with
pick, cutting some distance from the face of the vein, separate it
from veins with pick or explosives, and load the coal into cars.
Miners, machine, inside, bituminous,— Operate electric or com­
pressed-air coal-mining machines, undercutting veins of coal and
drilling holes into coal for explosives.
Motormen, inside.— Operate motors which are used in the trans­
portation of loaded cars from switches or sidings in the mines to the
shaft and of empty cars from the shaft to the switches or sidings.
Loaded and empty cars are hauled to and from the switches by mules.
Motor brakemen, anthracite.— See Brakemen, inside, bituminous.
Oilers, outside, anthracite.— Oil and clean machines and engines.
Platemen, outside, anthracite.— Work at the breaker machines and
remove large stones from the coal before it enters the conveyors.
