Anticipating possible suspension, miners raised output from about 1.5 cars per inside worker per day to nearly two cars, boosting production beyond prior levels.
Twenty percent of earnings are in workers hands as figures show daily hours average seven over a two week period and six hours for inside men in the prior three months.
