Total 1,572,845.11 COAL PRODUCTION, ALLEGANY COUNTY During the calendar year 1933, Allegany County employed 1,557 miners, 99 drivers, 289 inside laborers and 166 outside employees, making a total of 2,111 men. The production Of coal for Allegany County during the calendaryear 1933 was 1,068,197.03 net tons (cwt).This shows a production of 686 net tons for each miner employed during this period. COAL PRODUCTION, GARRETT COUNTY During the calendar year 1933, Garrett County employed 547 miners, 39 drivers, 169 inside laborers and 124 oufsideem- ployees, making a total of 879 men. The productionS of coal for Garrett County during the calendar year 1933was 467,592.00 net tons, cwt.). This shows a production of 854.G net tons for each miner employed during this period. :1: &H1 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES FIRE CLAY PRODUCTION During the calendar year 1933 the fire clay mines in Allegany County employed 44 miners, 6 drivers, 25 inside laborersand 31 outside employees, making a total of 106men. The production of fire clay in Allegany County during the calendaryear was 37,056.08 net tons (cwL). This shows a production of 842 net tons for each miner during this period. TONNAGE PER FATALITY (BY COUNTY) In Allegany County for the calendaryear 1933 there were 534,099 net tons of coal produced for each fatal accident; number of fatalities per 1,000employees.947; and number of fatalities per 1,000,000 ton of coal produced 1.872. In Garrett County for the calendaryear 1933 there were 467,592 tons of coal produced for each fatal accident; number of fatalities per 1,000 employees 1.137, and number of fatalities per 1,000,000 tons of coal produced 2.138. TONNAGE PER FATALITY FOR ENTIRE STATE During the calendar year 1933 therewere 511,929 net tons of coal produced for each fatal accident; fatalitiesper 1,000 employees 1.003 and number of fatalitiesper 1,000,000 tons produced 1.953.

BALTIMORE'S EXPORT COAL BUSINESS IN 1933 Through the courtesy of the Import and Export Bureau of the Baltimore Association of Commerce, we are able to furnish the following information: Baltimore 's export bituminous coal traffic during 1933 regis- tered a considerable loss over the preceding calendaryear and probably touched an all-time low.Decreased exports of bituminous coal from all American ports were due partially to— (1) High international costs, resulting from adherence to the gold standard of the dollar during the first six months of 1933. (2) A pronounced world trend on the part of various na- tions, such as Italy, which previously imported large amounts of American bituminous coal, to either utilize water power or develop their own internal coal re- sources. FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1933 5 (3) lTarjous official aid unofficial nationalistic trends having for their object the reduction of purchases of foreign raw material, because of a particular country's i:riabiiity to provide necessary foreign exchange. Baltimore's coal exports during 1933 were largely to Puerto Rico, which took eleven shipments totaling 6,142 tons.(Puerto Rico was also the mainstay during 1932, taking 16 shipments totaling 8,605 tons.)Total exports for 1933 consisting of 17 shipments totaling 20,391 tons, while indicating a considerable reduction under the previous year's total of 24 shipments ag- gregating 37,724 tons, was proportional to the losses of other leading Atlantic coal ports. It is expected that the 1933 bituminous coal trade of the Port touched an all-time low, as local shipments to the Argentine, Canada and Puerto Rico during the first six months of 1934 exceeded the total traffic of the previous calendar year.It is probably that the lower cost of American coal, due to the deval- uation of the dollar, will result in heavier overseas coal demand, of which the Port of Baltimore will get its fair share. The Port's coal loading facilities, owned and operated by the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Western Maryland Rail- roads, operated on a high basis of efficiency and service to the trade.Various routine improveme:rits were made at all of the coal loading piers, and particular effort was made to improve the bunkering business of the Port.

THE WESTERN MARYLAND COAL FIELD

The coal shipments over the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, which traverses the center of the George's Creek coal field, amounted to 674,588 net tons for the calendar year 1933.

During the same period of time the coal mines served by the Western Maryland Railway Company, located in the State of Maryland, produced 658,025 net tons of coal.Of this total, 230,875 net tohs were produced in the George's Creek District.

During the year 1933 mines located on the lines of the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad in Maryland made coal shipments amounting to 14,611 net tons.

FATAL ACCIDENTS—1933 GARRETT COUNTY

On Jude 7, 1933, at about 2:15 P. M., Mr. Joseph Pesa,a miner emplad by the Shalimar Mining Corporation, in the Wolf Den Mine, Shallmar, Md., working the Kittanningseam of coal, was killed by a fall of Middle Rock, in No. S room, 1st butt, 3rd panel.

The injured man and his buddy, William Lyons, hadcom- pleted the removal of the room pillar in which they had been working. They then laid a curve into the next pillar andwere setting and removing the props so the machine could cut their place. Mr. Pesa had knocked out aprop while on his knees and was evidently in the act of picking up this prop when a piece of middle rock, which this prop had supported, fellon him, catching the upper part of his head on theprop, crushing his head. His buddy stated that he had sounded theprop and that apparently it did not have any weight on it, but he must not have tested or examined the roof. Time of Accident—June 7, 1933, about 2:15 P. M. Time of Death—June 7, 1933. Name of Injured—Joseph Pesa. Nationality—Mexican. Age—40 years. Married—Yes. Dependents—Widow. Residence—Shallmar, Md. Inspector in Charge of Mine—Clyde J. Rowe, Westernport, Time of Inspection and by Whom—June 8, 1933; Chief Mine Engineer J. J. Rutledge, District Mine Inspector C. J. Rowe, Superintendent II. A. Marshall and Mine Foreman J. B. James.

RECOMMENDATION—That employes be instructed in the proper way to test and sound roof and that no props be removed until this has been done.

V/ 20 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1933 21 Two out of the three fatal accidents were due to falls of roof or middle rock. One fatal accident was due to a fall from the railroad car. This fatal accident, due to a fall from a railroad car, is really a railroad accident since it was due to a fall from the board on the end of the car while the victim was pre- sumably operating the brake to permit the car to run under the tipple. As before stated, this fatality should not really, in the judgment of the Bureau, be charged against mining. Recently in another part of the coal field than that where this accident occurred, an employe fell from the top of a loaded railroad car of coal and suffered a broken shoulder, but soon recovered. So far as it is possible to obtain records, there has been no year in the history of coal mining in Western Maryland when less than three fatal accidents have occurred and considering this fact, it is evident that the recorft for 1933 is very good. 22 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES

TRADE AND LABOR CONDITIONS, 1933 There was considerahie 'ost time, even in the mines of the larger companies dring the first haIl of theear. Some of the smaller companieg, espthslly hand mutes,, had theirmin in 58 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES operation only about one day in two weeks. The Kelly-Spring- field Tire Company, Cumberland, Md., and the Cellanese Cor- poration of America at Cresaptown, near Cuimberland, continued to employ agreatdeal of labor. At one time during 1933, the Celanese Corporation had over 7,000 men and young women, and, ordinarily, if these plants were not existent, many of the young men would go into the mines. During the last half of the year the coal mines became solidly organized in a national labor organization, and at the close of the year the district was practically 100 per cent organized, some mines having check-weighmen on the tipples, and others not so equipped. One of the outstanding developments of the year was the great quantity of coal hauled by trucks into such points as Frederick and fiagerstown in Maryland, and llarrisonburg, Winchester, and as far as Front Royal in Virginia; some trucks even hauled coal as far as Washington, D. C., and to Baltimore Much of this coal was from small wagon or truck mines, but some came from mines which were located on steam railroads and ship a greater portion of their product over these railroads. As a rule the truck drivers are rather careful as to the coal which they accept from the mines and the consumer gets the benefit of this care in selection of coal. Furthermore, there is but one handling of the coal from the mine tipple to the consumer cellar and this makes a great difference in the amount of deg- radation as compared with the transportation by railroad. The various national organizations for furnishing employ- ment for the unemployed were activly at work in Allegany and Garrett Counties and such work as retaining walls along the rivers and creeks, the repairing of bridges and the re-sur- facing of lateral roads was done by such labor, and the results were very creditable. Beginning with August 1, 1933, the mines began to operate nearly every day; practically all the mines of the larger companies were in operation daily, and this condition extended to the small mines as well. This activity lasted until the end of the year. As a whole, 1933 was a very unsatisfactory year so far as any profit in the mining of coal wasconcerned. FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1933 59

IMPROVEMENTS CALENDAR YEAR 1933 The Shaw Big Vein Coal Company, which acquired possession of the Bowery Furnace Mine and plant of the Piedmont and Georges Creek Coal Company, installed a 250 H. P. return tubu- lar boiler, 100 K. W. motor generator set, and a large rope haulage engine, the latter to take the place of electric motor haulage formerly used in bringing the coal out of the slope mouth of this mine.This is a very substantial improvement.

Report on the Night Mining Classes The Night Mining Classes opened their sessions on September 19, 1932, and closed on May 19, 1933. The classes were grouped in two districts, the Upper Potomac District in charge of Instructor ilutson, and the George's Creek District in charge of Instructor Ewing. It was found imprac- ticable, however, to follow definite geographical lines in the allocation of districts.

62 ANNUAL REPORT OF MARYLAND BUREAU OF MINES CONCLUSION The enrollment in the Upper Potomac District for the school year 19324933, shows an increase of over 67 per cent in comparison 'with the enrollment of 1931-1932. In comparison with the enrollment of 1930-1931, the increase is 155 per cent. The weekly attendance average for the year 1932-1933, shows a gain of 117 per cent in comparison with average for 1931-1932. In comparison with the average for 1930-1931, the increase is 172 per cent. The above results can be accounted for, chiefly, by the excellent sniirit of co-operation shown by the coal companies affected by the Night Classes, in the Upper Potomac District. A get-together meeting of the five classes was held at Crellin, upon the invitation of Mr. Charles Ream, President, The Stanley Coal Company, in April. A program of short talks, diversified by music, featured. Refreshments were served at the expense of the operating companieA of the district. The attitude of the students towards the instruction, their attendance and the interest displayed, under the discouraging conditions of the past year, is worthy of the highest praise. U

CONCLUSION The enrollment and attendance, in all the classes, was the largest in the history of the classes, in the Georges Creek Dis- trict. The percentage of attendance increased this ear over that of last year, which was very gratifying. Three of the classes this year studied, "Ekctricity Applied to Coal Mining," arid splendid results were obtained. The Lonaconing c'ass held the distinction of having the arg- est average weeUy attendance. For the third consecutive year, three generations were enrolled in the Midland class, and were regu'ar in attendance. Seven members of the c'asses in this District, have attended for ten years. - Eighty-fivenew members were enrolled this year, this number represents forty per cent of the tota' enrollment. Seven students attended two different classes, taking advan- tage of the opportunity of the different subjects presented.

CONCLUSION The enrollment this year was very satisfactory, but owing to the faôt that the majority of the students worked on thenight shift, and other inconveniences incident to broken time,the at- tendace was Ot as regular as it has been i other years. The average age of the students was 24.1 years. The average enrdllment in the Short Course for the ten years ending 1933, has been sixteen (16) studts per year. FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1933 67
