Brick Houses For Miners.<br />
The Rock Island Coal Co., of Chicago, is investigating<br />
a plan for building miners' houses at the<br />
various operations of the company which Manager<br />
Scholz believes will result in better homes for this<br />
class of employes and important economies in the<br />
construction of these buildings. The Rock Island<br />
Coal Co. has a large number of operations in several<br />
of the Western states and employs a large<br />
number of mine workers. It is intended to secure<br />
a portable brick factory or portable brick making<br />
machinery which can be loaded on a train and<br />
conveyed from place to place. At any point where<br />
additional miners' houses are necessary this portable<br />
plant will be unloaded and arranged for<br />
operation. The shale and other suitable clays<br />
always found in connection with coal, will be<br />
utilized and a brick factory will be established on<br />
a small scale at that point until a sufficient number<br />
of bricks are produced to build the structures.<br />
Then the plant will be moved to the next place.<br />
Manager Scholz has thoroughly investigated the<br />
question of brick making, taking up the technical<br />
points as well as the adaptability of the various<br />
coal shales and clay. He is convinced that it is<br />
not only practicable, but that the miners will be<br />
provided with much better houses, that many laborers<br />
will be furnished with employment at times<br />
when they are not working the mines and that<br />
the plan is feasible.<br />
The Pioneer Coal Co., the Clearfield Bituminous<br />
Coal Corporation and the holdings of Rembrandt<br />
Peale, representing thousands of acres of valuable<br />
territory in the eastern part of Indiana county.<br />
Pa., have been merged, and the management will<br />
soon begin the construction of a large coal plant<br />
and industrial town in Cherryhill township.<br />
