Dear Sir:
The question as to what percentage of Egg and Block coal
can be obtained from “5" seam has been discussed.
inasmuch as you are now handling "B" seam coel separately
from “C" sean coal over the tipple and shigping all of the
NB" seam coel to the Steel ~orks, we desire that you give
consideration to screening ell of the "B“ seam coal for tne
purpose of determining what percentege of Egg, Block and
Screenings is contained in the “B" seam coal. This would
merely be for the purpose of a test to determine these per-
centages. You would, of course, continue to ship the entire
"B" seam vroduction to the Steel Works but after vou had
1 · 1 ) . v
run a screen test for a given numner of days, nelieve that
ou would have accurate figures es to 'ust what nercentewe
L. A. — .1. · Q
of ”B" seam coel would be Blocn, Egg and 2" Screenings.
will you please advise if this determination can be made,
and when end how long you would run such a test.
Yours very truly,
MISCONSIN SIHEL COMPANY

Chicago, Illinois
Gentlemen: Att: Mr. J. J. Fox
Our consignee at Minden City, Michc, advises that he is very much
put out over the last shipment of Block made to him, in that it
ran very small and what he termed a ”car of Egg coal with a few
block on the top". He said it looked like you made a mistake and
filled the car with Egg coal and at the very last dropped a few
blocks on top and billed it out for a car of Block instead of Egg.
We also lost a customer, the Farmers Co—op. Elevator_CoE, Ligonier,
Ind., who complained very seriously about his shipment Nova 4
which was supposed to be Block. This was s trial order and he
said he did not want any more of it. lt was so full of small coal,
he could not afford to pay block price for egg coal and that full
of very small pieces,
Our Indiana salesman called this week on the Farver Lumber Co,,
V Shipshewana, Ind., and he also complained about his shipment of
Dec, 2, stating that he could only say it was nothing more than a
car of Egg coal and tar from Block sizet he have sold this cus—
tomer a couple of cars of Block previously and have worked hard on
him to get him to continue with us, but he said if he could not
depend upon all cars coming out ss they should, he could not go
along with usr
Just can’t understand why we should have so much cause for come
plaint on the preparation and it seems that we have made it clear
that these causes for complaint should not be, and to say the
least are very expensive in that we cannot hold customers unless
we serve them as they should he served, lt costs considerable
selling expense and effort to establish a new account and when
the coal is not prepared as it should be and we lose the customer,
it is both expensive to us and most discouraging. Our salesmen
are met constantly with the resistance that other shippers of
this grade of coal ”prepare their coal better" and constantly
tell them about the uniform preparation of "Little Joe", "Great
Heart", "Marne", "Hi»Lo", etc. Sincerely we wish we could remove
` this cause for complaintc
Very truly yours,
THE ROBERTS COAL & COKE COMPANY

Deer Sir:
In an earlier letter today we advised you that
the éteel porks can take in an additional ten
cars of Benham coal a day, provided it is loaded
in flat—botton gondola cars.
Since writing you me received Hr. Robertson'e
letter on thie subject, and he states that we can
take in eight to ten cars per day, 7 days per week;
that would mein 56 to 70 cars additional per week.
You, of course, would ship this in equal daily
averages on a 5-dey a week basis.
As we advised in our letter, the Traffic Department
recuest that you place an order for this class of
equipment with your local agent at Benham, and should
you be unable to obtain same, please advise.
y Yours very truly

Referring to Mr. Fox's letter of January 26, listing car numbers
of sized "B" Seam Coal, and recuesting report on the condition of the
coal as received, and also Mr. Bose's telephoned suggestions regarding
this coal on January 27, will say that nearly all of the loads shown in
Hr. Galbreath's list have been received and unloaded; however, we
caught a few cars of each size and inspected them and unloaded enough of
each size in a separate pile by itself on the doc; where it still may be
inspected by anyone wishing to do so.
Bhotographs of block coal and egg coal in cars are enclosed herewith.
The screenings were omitted for in general appearance they were just
about the same as any other screened coal, being too fine to snow any
special characteristics in a picture.
analyses of samples of the block and egg sizes as reported by dr. Stander—
line, indicate almost no difference in anlyses of the two sizes, but are
somewhat higher than the average of "C“ seam. The average of analyses
of quite a number of cargoes indicate an average volatile of 36.58$,
but the Ash of the "c” seam averages on the analyses of the above men-
tioned cargoes, 4.4Q. analyses of samples of the Bloch and egg Coal
sizes of the "B" Beam coal, in comparison with the average of analyses
of the “C" Seam Loal received by boat during the l936 season, are as

By the attached copy of mr. ¤tanderline's letter of January 3l, he
states that, judging from his inspection, the appearance of this coal
indicates a good, cl an coal. free from impurities. lo me, both the
. ogg and Bloch coal looked unusually good compared to coal of these
grades that you generally see around coal dealers' yards. It has the
characteristic luster of Benham Coal, but is possibly a little brighter
than the regular run of “t“ seam.
Both from the ash and Sulphur content, this coal should be a very
nerchantable product where high volatile coal can be used.

In your letter of Jsnusry Q7, l937, and Mr. Fox's letter of
Jenuery 26, l937, reference is msde to shipping e number of
cers of "B" seem coal in Block, Lgg, and Screening sizes,
with the request that we examine them end get some idee es
to the quality of each.
We have msde seperate piles on the coal dock of Block and Egg
size coal which cen be seen at any time and which we will
hold until e~vised that it is no longer needed.
Ne ere enclosing six photographs of eech which show the
appearance of the Block znd hgg sizes as loaded in cars.
The lsborstory enelyses oi the two cars shown in the enclosed
photographs are given below:

The eppearanco of this coal on the cars is very good. The coel
looks clean end free from impurities.
