Excerpt from A Treatise on Cost Accounting as Applied to Coal Mining Believing that investors in coal property suffer serious losses from the operation of mines through lack of a proper and uniform method of computing the cost of production, I submit this work with the view that it will enable Coal Operators to accurately determine the cost of producing a ton of coal and the proper selling price thereof.

Excerpt from Coal and the Coal Mines IN treatingof so large a theme in so small a compass it is impossible to do more than make an outline sketch. It has been the aim of the author to give reliable information free from minute details and technicalities. That information has been, for the most part, gathered through personal experience in_ithe mines. Literature of this special subject is very meagre, and the author is unable to acknowledge any real indebtedness to more than half a dozen volumes. First among these is the valuable treatise on Coal Mining, by H. M. Chance of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey. Other volumes from which the author has derived considerable information are the State geological reports of Pennsylvania, the mine in.

Excerpt from Coal Mining in Illinois Coal Mining already pays the highest wages in all industry, for the shortest working hours; and already pays more for non contributory pensions and for welfare benefits than is being fought for currently by the Steel unions. In order to be able to continue paying these high wage costs, coal operators must have relief from the present unbelievable abuse of the so-called willing and able buncombe; they must have a chance to give coal consumers some semblance of dependable coal supply.

Excerpt from Bituminous Coal Mine Accounting The importance of proper accounting has probably never been more clearly felt than at the present time. The necessity for having an adequate cost accounting system has been stressed within the past few years by trade associations, government agencies and accountants generally. In the coal industry this was a particularly important subject during the recent war, sales prices being fixed by the Fuel Ad ministration based ou cost. At all times a knowledge of the cost of production is an absolute prerequisite to price making. A corporation without a cost system is like a ship without a com pass. Business is conducted for the purpose of making a profit, and the business man is entitled to a margin between his cost and selling price. An adequate cost finding system is intended to' eliminate guess work. To be of value to the industry such a cost system should be more than a historical record of trans actions long closed.

Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Coal Mining The science of mining so largely consists of practical applications of geology, mechanics, physics, chemistry, and other branches of natural knowledge, that it has proved difficult in many cases to decide what acquaintance with these subjects on the part of the reader to take for granted. The author is hopeful that sufficient information has been given to make the book self-explanatory, but students are urged to study these collateral sciences as fully as circum stances permit.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Coal Mining, Vol. 1 All errors, typographical and otherwise, that we have dis covered in the first edition have been corrected. In a num ber Of instances we have altered the text somewhat, when by doing so we thought we could make the explanation clearer to the students. We have changed the page num bers in all the volumes except Vols. IV and V, so that each paper and part will begin with 1, instead Of numbering the pages continuously throughout the volumes, as in the first edition. In order to make the indexes intelligible we have given each paper and part a number. This number has been placed on the headline Of each page opposite the page number and to distinguish it from the page number it has been preceded by the printer's section mark Gonse quently, a reference such as 19, page 12, would be readily found as follows The back stamps on the first three vol umes show the sections (i. E., Papers) included in' the volumes, that for Vol. II reading 11 - 21 hence, look at the inside edges Of the headlines to Vol. II until 19 is found, and then through 19 until page 12 is found. The Question Papers have been given the same section numbers as the Instruction Papers to which they belong, and are grouped together at the end of the volume contain ing the Instruction Papers to which they refer. The Keys have been numbered in the same manner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
