w. Md. Miners Look
Forward to Busy Fall

Maryland's 1000 coal miners in
' Allegany and Garrett counties are
looking forward to a busy fall and
winter.
. That is the word being spread in
the mining towns along the Georges
Creek basin and in the mountain
towns of Garrett county.
1t has been hard summer for
some. In fact, Frank Powers, direc-
tor of the Maryland Bureau of
Mines, says it has been the toughest
summer in the Maryland coal region
for twelve years. But there have been
no reports of widespread distress be-
cause of the slackness in work.
Somewhat more than half of the
miners in the region have been idle
during the low summer production
period.
Pickup in Orders Noticed
Unemployment compensation bene-
fits have already run out for some
and will not last much longer for
others. This means the expected up
turn in work is not coming too soon.
The miner always knows that with
out a war or some unusual industrial
demand for coal, work will be light in
the summer months. The miner and
his family prepare for such a spell
and many keep the Harder well filled
with products from their own gar
dens. 1t is also a time of canning in
preparation for the winter.
Already pickup in orders for coal
has been noticed. Mines which have
been closed all summer have been
calling men back to work Others are
expected to do so soon and by mid
October conditions in this mining field
are expected to be back to near nor
NAL.
A considerable amount of the coal
produced goes into domestic use and
these orders are just being placed.
Some Work More than Days
Some mines which were working
only one day are now in operation
three days and others which had not
worked at all are working one and
two days. A number of miners said
their last pay was the highest since
June.
1t has also been pointed out that
the three-day week decreed by the
United Mine Workers Of America
does not mean all operations at a
mine are confined to that period.
The digging and loading Of coal is
being kept to three days a week but
miners can timber and do repair
work on other days. A number of

mines have been improved over the
summer and this has afforded some
work.
Few Miners Leave Area
81 think we will end up the year
with almost as much money earned
as we would have if there was no
limit on working" said one miner to-
day. Before the tmee-day week we
might work a couple Of weeks in q
row and then we would be Off for a
similar period"
Few miners have left the area be-
cause of the lack of work.
"Once a miner always a miner"
is the policy followed by most men
who once get the habit of going in
side the earth to make a living.
Director Powers said that the up
turn in orders for some of the larger
mines has been enough to provide
work for more than three days a
week but there is no indication the
work week will be heightened at this
time.
Trend Is Upward
When the short week was placed
in operation most owners and miners
agreed it would present no hardship
during the summer.
As an example of the upward
trend, Powers said one mine which
has employed seven men has doubled
the force
THAT is not much" said Powers,
"but it illustrates the trend.
The Mine Bureau director also re-
ported good cooperation with Mary
lands new mining law, which now in
cludes a large part of the Federal
code.
Install Metal Fan Houses
Metal fan houses have been in
stalled at a number of mines and
others are ready to start on the
work" he said.
It was a frame fan house which
which partially contributed to the
death by suffocation of five miners in
Kitzmiller last November.
As yet copies of the new law have
not been placed in booklet form but
it is anticipated interest in the safe
ty measure will increase as soon as
the law becomes known fully to all
groups.
