Miners Produce More Coal With Eight Hour Shifts
Nova Scotia miners on eight hour shifts now produce more coal than in 1914 before the war when ten hours were worked. Walter Herd reports 6.85 tons per shift in 1926, up 7 percent from 6.4 tons, while the Dominion Coal Company average rose 20 percent to 2.53 tons. Improved methods under British Empire Steel Corporation plus better drainage, roadways, and electric lamps boosted efficiency.
