Excerpt from The Coal Miners Insecurity Facts About Irregularity, of Employment in the Bituminous Coal Industry, in the United States
For thirty-two years, from 1890 through 1921, the average number of days of operation of the bituminous mines of the coun try has been only 214 a year. The miners, of course, can neither work nor earn when the mine is not operating. Meanwhile the number of new bituminous mines has steadily increased. Instead of digging coal regularly throughout the year in those mines already in operation, many more have been opened than were required to supply the country's needs, with the result that mines and miners are idle for nearly a third of the working days of the year.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the economic factors that led to labor unrest in the bituminous (or soft coal) mining industry. The author also includes data on earnings, absenteeism, and miners' estimates of the cost of living. The book illuminates the causes of underemployment in the industry, focusing on excessive mine capacity, cyclical demand, and the seasonal nature of coal consumption as key factors. The author provides an in-depth examination of how irregular mine operation impacted earnings. The book also explores the significance of earning opportunities for miners' well-being and makes a point to connect industry-created instability to broader concerns for public interest, social justice, and wise conservation of the country's soft coal supply. Ultimately, this book provides an essential understanding of the historical and economic context of coal mining in the United States while offering valuable insights into the challenges faced by the industry and the miners who worked within it.
