PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTE MEETING OF . . . THE ALABAMA COAL OPERATORS' ASSOCIATION

Held at Edgewater Alabama, July 10, 1915.

Birmingham, Alabama: Dispatch Printing Company, 1915; with 47 pages + original printed paper covers. Illustrated with halftone photo views of dynamite blasting sites in Edgewater, 2 halftone photos of Edgewater Schools + a photo of the "auditorium" [looks like a local church] where this meeting was held.

Finished size is 6x9 inches = opens up to 12x9 inches for reading.

Includes text of talks on Coal Washing, Electrical Safety in Coal Mines, Underground Safety Precautions, speech by Milton Fies; and a good speech on Use of Permissible Explosives by Daniel Harrington of the U S Bureau of Mines.

These booklets would have been printed in very limited quantities (perhaps 100 originals) strictly for use of the mine owners & operators, rather than for distribution to the general public.

NOTE: the faint & faintly tinted Moiré pattern lines you MAY see in scans 2 & 3 are added BY MY SCANNER - they are NOT ON the original view. else

Stray marking on front cover - probably docketing by a coal mining company, clean interior, Very Good
