  • Mining Operations
DEF

A mine car that took coal miners to underground mines in Atlantic Canada.

CONT

For many years, underground mining in Cape Breton has taken place under the ocean. In order to get there, miners either take a small trolley called a rake down a slope to the mine, and eventually their work place, or they go down in an elevator called a cage, and then travel out. These are two methods of mining coal that were used in Cape Breton.

CONT

The equipment which transports men and materials is also of prime importance, because each must get to the working face in the shortest time possible. Therefore, we propose to ride men in specially constructed rake cars right from the surface to the face ...

  • Economics
OBS

(...) free trade in goods may serve as a partial substitute for immigration of labor into the United States. This implies that labor scarcity in the United States could be alleviated by our international specialization in labor-economizing products and that real wages might actually fall under conditions of free trade. Real national product would go up, but the relative and absolute share of labor might go down.
