C., Harry Englebright, Congressman from this district, and resident of Nevada City, declares that: ‘Application of the six-hour day and five-day week as applied to gold mines will reduce tonnage and increase costs to. such an extent that it will practically close down every gold producing mine in the state. “The principal gold production of the State. of California is obtained from the deep lode mines of the Grass Valley-Nevada City district and from the Mother Lode. district. These mines are now operated on an eight-hour shift basis. These mines have been operated for many years and the shafts have been extended, in many instances, to more than a mile in depth. The lateral underground works extending from the shafts are many miles in length. Each mine, as a rulé, is served by only one main working _ shaft, through which all traffic and operations must be conducted. DEAD TIME “The ‘working faces of the mines from which the ore is extracted are’ Scattered: through miles of underground works, and. approximately two hours. of each shift is required for men to proceed from the collar of the shaft to the working face. and return. The unproductive time, therefore, now equals approximately one-fourth. of the working shift. If a six-hour shift were instituted, one third of the miner’s time would be unproductive.”’ Englebright declared that all of the time now available On an eighthour shift is required to drili-a round of holes in preparation for a blast, and that the blast must be fired at the end of each shift in order to minimize ventilation difficulties. He also said that one of the major difficulties that would arise from the six-hour day would be congestion of traffic in the mine shafts. GOLD MINING DIFFERENT “Gold mines,’ he said? “are different from many of the coal mines and other types of underground develoments in that they only have one main shaft available for all underground operators. Men must be lowered and raised through the shaft supplies provided, and ore and waste removed. With the mills operating at capacity the shafts are crowded to the limit with the present eighthour shift. Any attempt to increase the number of menunderground, whether. at a given time or in successive shifts, would lead to hopeless confusion. Power consumption would be substantially increased because of additional requirements of ventilation and hoisting. WOULD CUT WAGES “But, perhaps the most impyortant item of the application of the six-hour day to gold mines would be the effect the of miners. At the present time the average wage for miners in California mines amounts to $4.06 per shift working about 28 shifts per month, of $113.68 per month. If the same hourly rate were. applied to a upon Wages or a wage Six« hour shift and a five-day week, the average earnings of a miner would be $63 per month. “This would not constitute a liying wage for miners having families where the cost of living is substantially above the Corresponding cost in other localities. NARROW PROFIT MARGIN “Tf any increases in wages were made to offset the loss thus -sustained by miners, the cost of labor per ton of ore would be correspondingly =—— increased. Careful estimates. from the actual operators indicate that the proposed bill would increase the cost of production to the extent of $1.92. per’ ton. .This double the margin of profit availis more than able in any large mine now producing in California.” i O SUBSCRIBE FOR THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET NOW.
