Mutual Coal Mine Co
1901-1906 "Bill Book" for Mutual Coal Company Frick subsidiary in Westmoreland County PA
Mutual PA 1906. Hardcover. Good. 14.25 x 9.5 inches dark maroon cloth good with some wear to corners and spine ends binding a little worn and dusty contents very good. Identified as coming from the Mutual Coal Mine Co. by a small antique dealer's price tag and with "Mutual" in pencil on first page but we could be all wrong about this: on p. 277 there is a transaction for H. C. Frick Coal Co. in Mutual for 49 gallons of sperm oil so we don't really know what to think. The Mutual Coal Company was a subsidiary of the H. C. Frick Coal and Coke Company based in Mutual PA south of Greensburg and east of Youngwood. The mines closed in 1923 but in its heyday the company both mined and refined coal and had over 200 beehive coke ovens in operation. The ledger is from 1901-1906 and details the supplies needed to run the company with purchases for a wide variety of products -- building materials bricks straw tools machinery lumber even sperm whale oil for the miners' lamps etc. purchased from some major western Pennsylvania firms including much from the Carnegie Steel Company National Tube Works Lemont Brick Works Oil Well Supply Co. Joseph Woodwell Co Vulcan Iron Works American Mine Door Co. Harbison Walker Standard Supply & Equipment Co. Oliver Iron & Steel Co. American Lime and Stone Co. Baldwin Locomotive Works near Philadelphiaas well as various companies in Scottsdale Connellsville Greensburg etc. More research from someone who knows what they're doing can probably yield more information about where this ledger comes from and what it represents but it's an excellent look at the economics of running coal and coke operations back then. hardcover

Patterson, Helen
The Right Time - British Columbia, North East Coal and Transportation Development
50 pages. Circa mid-1980s. "This is a book of images - fleeting moments in a construction project captured on film. "North East Coal" conjures up many different images: to those who negotiated sales agreements in Canada and Japan there is one set; to those who spent years styding and planning the development, other memories come to the fore; to those who worked on the construction projects across northern British Columbia there are other pictures; and to those who live in Tumbler Ridge and work in jobs created by the development yet still another set of images surfaces. We hope that the pages of this book will trigger all these memories." - from foreward. Wonderfully illustrated with colour photography. Negligible wear to clean, bright and unmarked book. Three closed tears to attractive dust jacket which bears light wear. Very nice copy. Book

Pennsylvania Coal Mining
American Industrial Labor and Mining Communities 1930s to 1950s Pennsylvania Anthracite Region Photographic Documentation
1943. Anthracite coal mining photographs circa 1930s to 1950s document the daily labor conditions environmental hazards and union activity within Pennsylvania's coal industry and provide direct visual evidence of industrial work in one of the most significant energy sectors in the United States. Created during a period when anthracite coal production remained central to regional economies and national energy supply these images record both above ground and subterranean labor processes as well as the collective organization of workers responding to unsafe conditions and economic pressures. The archive supports research into labor history industrial practices occupational health and union movements in mid twentieth century America.<br /> <br /> Eleven silver gelatin photographs ranging approximately from 4 x 6 inches to 8 x 10 inches some with typed captions attached depicting mining activity and related scenes in Pennsylvania's anthracite region. Images include miners traversing severe winter conditions while guiding donkeys hauling coal carts through heavy snow; workers shoveling coal in enclosed dimly lit environments with airborne dust visible in the light captioned "Coal shoveling brigade or how I spent my summer vacation"; and inspection scenes in which workers examine coal samples prior to distribution. Additional photographs show large scale coal piles dwarfing individual laborers emphasizing production scale. One press photograph dated January 15 1943 documents a mass meeting in Hazleton Pennsylvania where union leader Andrew Yevchak addresses striking miners with caption noting that 17000 workers were ordered to return to work following the gathering.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period marked by ongoing labor disputes mechanization and heightened awareness of occupational hazards such as coal dust inhalation these photographs capture both the physical demands of mining and the organizational structures that shaped worker response. The inclusion of the 1943 Hazleton meeting situates the archive within broader wartime labor tensions when coal production was critical to the war effort and strikes carried national implications. Together the images provide a grounded record of industrial labor environmental exposure and collective action within the anthracite coal industry preserving visual documentation of work that was both economically essential and physically hazardous. Minor edge wear and light creasing to a few prints with strong image clarity overall; condition very good. unknown
