Miners Make Significant Productivity Gains During WWII
This month, the magazine peers into the 1941 editions of Engineering & Mining Journal (Ex-MJ), which contain data pertaining to 1946. E&-xMJ was a respected 80-year-old trade journal and the voice of the American mining industry. The magazine was published monthly with about 200 pages per issue and many of the advertisers were either companies that are still around today or names that would be recognizable by longtime E&MJ readers. World War II ended in 1945. There was a peacetime lull taking place as the world took stock of what had occurred. From a mining perspective, the effort to satisfy wartime consumption of natural resource culminated in another wave of mechanization. Many of the mines and mills in Europe and Africa were destroyed as the Nazis retreated. Government-instituted controls on prices and labor were being lifted. Knowing the past cyclic nature of the business, but not knowing what lies ahead, the industry was gripped with anxious anticipation.
