Cooperative Mining in Pitts
burg District Produces Fuel.
More Than 5000 Tons Daily of
Coal, Mined There.

Pittsburg, Kan, July 12.-Co-
operative coal mining in the Kansas
coal field is responsible for a large
part of the more~than 5000 tons daily
being produced in the field.
In spite of the strike, the Kansas
field has been producing coal in con-
siderable quantities from the first.
Most of it has been shipped on rail-
roads. Some of it has been trucked
out to Joplin and other points where
there has been a market for fuel.
There are two classes of cooperative
miners. The first comprises men who
operate small or "dinky'' mines and
are in fact the real operators of the
mines. The second comprises the
under company supervision.
The first class is not new in the
Kansas field. The plan is simple. A
small group of miners sometimes
half o dozen and sometimes fifteen or
twenty-organizes and leases a small
mine. The owner of the property is
to receive a royalty of 20 to so cents
a ton for the coal. The men operate
the mine themselves and divide the
In the other class of cooperative
mining, the operations are on a larger
scale. Officials of the miners union
assert the plan is simply a ruse to
permit miners to work and still not

officials.
Under this plan of cooperation, the
men organize to work a mine. The
work is to be done under the super
vision of a company foreman. The
men are pail so much a ton for the
coal they dig. loaded on the cars. At
the Sheridan mines, it is said, the men
receive $3.50 a ton. The men pay
half of the salary of the foreman and
the company pays the other half. The
company pays the men for the coal
that is loaded and the men divide the
proceeds.
This plan is in use at Sheridan
mines Nos. IA, q, Is and 10, all large
shafts. The agreement between the
company and the men is said to be
rather loose, permitting discontinue
ance on short notice.
Organizers for the union say that
all the men who are working at the
Sheridan mines have become opera
tors and thereby have put themselves
out of the union.
