The Philadelphia Reading Coal Iron Co., founded in March 1931, was a prominent mining company that operated the St. Nicholas breaker outside Mahanoy City. At its peak, the breaker was one of the largest processors of anthracite coal worldwide. The company played a significant role in the anthracite coal industry and contributed to the region's mining heritage. The No. 9 mine, once a major source of hard coal, faced tough competition during the Great Depression. Workers turned to the bootleg coal industry, which posed a challenge to the mine's operations. The Bootleg Coal Rebellion, a book that explores this era, sheds light on the struggles faced by the No. 9 mine and the impact of the bootleg coal industry on the region.Generated from the website
