Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Department of Labor: No. 43; November 1902
The operators do not hesitate to say that the miners' ton and the practice of loading rock and refuse into a car instead of prepared coal appear to be about as hard to explain to the public as was the powder question before that was settled, and that even if' it were possi ble to make changes at the mines to admit of weighing coal, they feel that it would not be a wise thing to do. This may be true, but it should be remembered that the powder question has been settled, and there ought to be genius enough to settle the weighing question.
