MINING INDUSTRY The sources from which these wage data were taken are the Fifteenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor Statistics and bulletins of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Nos. 279, 316, 394 and 454. Data for iron miners are shown only in the Fifteenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor Statistics and Bulletin No. 394 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A very large per cent of miners and loaders of coal are paid piece rates of a specified amount per ton. This means that no record of time worked is usually kept for these employees. In all such mines arrangements were made with officials of the company for a day-byday record of the hours actually worked. These hours divided into the earnings of each employee for a representative pay period were the means of ascertaining the earnings per hour for employees in each of these tonnage-work occupations. Machine mining has largely supplanted pick mining. In 1891 there were 545 cutting machines in use in bituminous mines in the United States as compared with 15,261 in 1927. In 1891 only 5.3 per cent of bituminous coal was machine mined, compared with 73.8 per cent in 1927.
