Beginning with the year1900, a steady improvement is evident, which apparently culminatesin the year 1918 with 293 days of employment. From this it mightbe concluded that with the growth of population the industry hasachieved what is practically a full working year. Such a judgmentwould fail to take account of the actual interplay of forces deter-mining the number of days work. A more thorough study coveringthe 30-year period ending with the present year will show clearlythat the climax of this tendency toward regularity was reached inthe years 1910 to 1910, when the mines were operated only 80 percent of the year, and that the years 1917 and 1918 were a readjustment to the normal of the years 1910 to 1916 is inprocess.
