Book excerpt: The town of Ladysmith was one of the most important coal-mining communities on Vancouver Island during the early twentieth century. The Ladysmith miners had a reputation for radicalism and militancy and engaged in bitter struggles for union recognition and economic justice, most notably during the Great Strike of 1912-14. This strike, one of the longest and most violent labour disputes in Canadian history, marked a watershed in the history of the town and the coal industry. When Coal Was King illuminates the origins of the 1912-14 strike by examining the development of the coal industry on Vancouver Island, the founding of Ladysmith, the experience of work and safety in the mines, the process of political and economic mobilization, and how these factors contributed to the development of identity and community. While the Vancouver Island coal industry and the strike have been the focus of a number of popular histories, this book goes beyond to emphasize the importance of class, ethnicity, gender, and community in creating the conditions for the emergence and mobilization of the working-class population. Informed by currend academic debates on the matter and within the discipline, this readable history takes into account extensive archival research, and will appeal to historians and others interested in the history of Vancouver Island.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compiles coal quality data from most of the coal fields in British Columbia. Data are from two major sources: analyses of raw coal samples collected at producing mines; and coal assessment reports submitted by industry. Specific analytical parameters discussed include coal petrography, proximate and ultimate analyses, calorific value, mineral matter content, ash chemistry, phosphorus concentrations, trace element concentrations, and caking power. The focus is on raw coals throughout, although in certain cases clean coal data are used. The report also compares British Columbia coals with world coals and comments on factors influencing suitability of the province's coals for various end uses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Royal Commissioner on Coal Mining Disputes on Vancouver Island The Honourable Thomas W. Cbothers, K. C., Minister of Labour, Ottawa, Ont. Sir, - Pursuant to Order in Council bearing date June 27, 1913, and Royal Commission in that behalf, I have made inquiry into the above-mentioned matter. After visiting the scenes of the trouble, and interviewing a large number of the men and their representatives, and the owners and superintendents of the mines, and others who seemed likely to be able to give useful information, and after perusing the evidence put in by the parties and given by other persons before the Provincial Labour Commission of British Columbia regarding the troubles and the conditions of labour upon Vancouver Island, the written statements presented by a large number of the men as to their complaints and grievances, various letters, papers and other documents connected with the matter, and other material placed at my disposal by the various parties and by the Department of Mines, at Victoria, as well as such other information as I could get from reports of previous investigations and from articles of various kinds, and after considering the situation to the best of my ability, I beg to report as follows: Field of the Trouble. The field of trouble covers all the producing coal mines in Vancouver Island, including the mines of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir), Ltd., at Cumberland and Extension or Ladysmith, the mines of the Western Fuel Company, at Nanaimo, the mines of the Pacific Coast Coal Mines, Ltd., at South Wellington, and the mine of the Vancouver-Nanaimo Coal Mining Company, Ltd., known as the Jingle Pot or New East Wellington. These mines are all situated at or near the east coast of Vancouver Island, all except the Cumberland being comparatively close together, and less than fifty miles across the strait of Georgia from the city of Vancouver, the Cumberland mines being some sixty miles farther north. The first stoppage of work was at the Cumberland mines on September 16, 1912, and two days later (September 18) work stopped also at the mines of the same company at Extension or Ladysmith. After some months' idleness, or comparative idleness, the company reopened their Cumberland mines with such men as they could get, and, more slowly, also resumed operations at Extension. The operations were gradually increased until Cumberland, at the time of the inquiry, had reached nearly its normal output. The production at Extension, however, was still comparatively small. On May 1, 1913, the men ceased work at all the other mines in the island, namely, Nanaimo, South Wellington and Jingle Pot, and from these there has been practically no production of coal since that date., );and at the Jingle Pot.
