TRADE AND LABOR CONDITIONS—1936There was less operating time in the year 1936 than in the preced-

ing year, although the good results of selling price stabilizationand uniformity of tonnage and day wages prevailed during 1936.A few of the mines enjoyed very good operating time during thelatter part of 1936.

In general, there was very little export coal business.Regarding lalior conditions, the only labor trouble was a small

local strike in a Big Vein mine in the Lonaconing region. This wasdue to some disagreement between the Company and the Miners'Organization regarding the sub-contracting of the mine and thetrouble began on July 1st and lasted with more or less activity untilAugust 8th when the matter was satisfactorily arranged and opera-tions proceeded amicably thereafter. Aside from this there were nolabor troubles in the mining region and the one referred to wasslight and entirely 'ocal.

PROSECUTIONS AND SAFETY ORDERS

There were no prosecutions for violation of the Mining Law andone joint Safety Order was issued by the District Mine Inspectorsdirectly to the operator of a Big Vein Mine and this Order was stillin effect at the completion of the year 1936.

CONCLUSION

The average weekly attendance of the classes for this schoolyear, showed a gain of 27% over that of last year. This with asmaller enrollment than that of last year.

The attendance would no doubt have been somewhat larger inthis district, had it not been for the extremely low temperaturesduring the greater part of the winter. Due to the blocking of thehighways by snow, the instructor experienced unusual difficulty inreaching some of the classes.

CONCLUSION

The enrollment and attendance in the classes this year were some-what smaller than last year, but the interest manifested by thosein attendance compensated for this to a large extent.

The conditions which prevailed in the mining region, during thewinter months, such as extremely cold weather, intermittent em-ployment due to underground mining conditions and the partialdestruction of the mining properties, due to the spring floods, allhad their effect upon the final results of this year's work.

In spite of all this, quite a lot of good work was accomplishedin these classes.

Of the total enrollment, fifty-one (51) were new students; thisiiumber represents 46% of the total enrollment.

Three men have been enrolled in these classes for thirteen con-secutive years.

CONCLUSION

The average age of the students was slightly over thirty years.Of the total enrollment of thirteen, twelve were part-time students,either working on the night-shift, or attending only on the daysthe mine was idle.

Since practically all of the students were on a part-time basis,it was found impossible to conduct the afternoon sessions of thecourse. To overcome this difficulty, some of the afternoon subjectswere taught in the morning sessions in place of Mine Gases andGeology of Coal.

The enrollment this year, though comparatively small, was a wellbalanced group, in respect to previous training; for this reason thework performed was of a much higher standard than the average.
