text:
The Compagnie minière de Carmaux, or Société des mines de Carmaux, was one of the first coal mining companies in France.
It was founded in 1752 in the isolated Carmaux basin.
The company was at first slow to expand and modernize, but grew much faster after the introduction of a railway connection in the 1850s.
A strike in 1892 drew national attention and had an important impact on French labour relations.
By 1900 there were almost 3,500 miners and 500,000 tons of coal were produced each year.
