Scope and Contents

From the Series:

W. Jett Lauck was chairman of the Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Commission, responsible for investigating the state of the anthracite industry and the coal bootlegging situation in Pennsylvania, as well as recommending action.

The United States Anthracite Coal Commission is a different and separate entity than the Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Commission over which Lauck presided (see also, “United Mine Workers of America before the U.S. Anthracite Coal Commission”).

For reference, the Ad Interim Report was a report made halfway through the Commission’s studies; the Final Report was the last official report of the Commission and contains recommendations; the Complete Report was a compendium of all of the Commission’s work and reports (over 500 pages).
