 HARLAN COUNTY COAL OPERATORS' ASSOCIATION
HLRLAN KENTUCKY
November 52 l957 6957 File 979
TO ALL OPERATORS:
As you are doubtless aware, the government proposes to take a census of the
unemployed throughout the Nation at an early date. ‘
The National Coal Association is also undertaking to secure some figures
relative to the unemployment situation in the Bituminous coal industry. We
have promised to help the National in this proposal and I am attaching here-
to a blank form on which to advise the number of unemployed miners or wor-
kers around coal mines. You should not of course report any physically un-
fit, only able bodied men who are capable of being employed.
It has been suggested that you make the report as of November IO.
I do not think we have a great many unemployed around our mines; there may
be a few but the National would like to have whatever there is.
No company names will be used in this report; we just want to show the ac-
tual facts as they exist and I trust you will eo~operate with us to that
extent.
Yours very truly
