The spread of the machine process has raised many problems which we have to puzzle over. Power farm machinery has made it possible for one man to do the work which formerly required the services …

An Economic Study Of Coal Mine Taxation In Utah, A. Lemar Hendrickson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It has become vital to the economic stability and security of the state. Coal producers, however, have encountered serious economic difficulties during the past two decades. The task of building up profitable industrial activities is one thing, the job of protecting and maintaining them is another matter.

Employees are continually striving to better their living conditions by asking for a living wage, while employers are striving to cut down expenses by trying to pay only a minimum wage. This wage is arrived at through bargaining between the employer and employees without any consideration for the vital factors that enter in when calculating an honest and living wage.
