Strike Fails to Check Output in Coal Field of Kansas

Cooperative miners range from small dinky mines to large operations under company supervision. The plan splits profits between owners and workers, with royalties and shared salaries.

Most coal moves by rail, some by truck to Joplin and elsewhere. The largest tin mines are in Cornwell England.
