To the Editor u the WoRKISoAAS's ADVOCATE
In looking over your paper these several
weeks, and never seeing anything concern
ing this part Of the United States, |
thought would give you few items in
CONNECTION with the mines and miners here.
Work here is the same as every other
place still, very dull, and no immediate
prospect Of its getting any brighter. There
has been most remarkable change in this
county in the last twelve MONTHS change
which, am sorry to inform you, has been
for the worse. In the time just stated,
there has been a reduction of three and
one-half cents per bushel, the price being
now six cents and one-half against ten
cents year ago. This place has only had
its being about five years, and III all that
time the price has never been lower than
eight cents but what is it now Six and
one half cents Poor miners the most
down-trodden and oppressed set of men in
the United States, at the present time,
and what is the reason Of this : Simply
because there has never been any Union
among the men. The miners that have
been at this place could never place any
confidence in their fellow-miner, and the
result is as | am describing it. This last
winter it has been hard to make a common
living. There never has been more than
half work, and then the weigh-boss used to
cheat them out Of twenty or thirty pounds
ON the bushel-one operator actually tell
ing the men that he could not give them
work unless they would give him ll6
pounds to the bushel, that being sufficient
to pay the top man. Such men as the
foregoing are what we have to deal with,
but their time is short in fact, their time
has expired. We have a Union in this
county now, although | am sorry to say
owing to the dull times we have not been
able to keep up our dues, consequently we
are almost, if not quite, at a stand still.
We Joined the National Association in De-
cember last, and have done our best to
keep up square with that association, but
as soon as we can we will pay all arrears,
because there is general feeling of union
among the men in this county, and | can
assure you they will do all in their power
to keep up the Union.
Some few miners of Carbonate have
leased some land and sunk a shaft, labor
being their capital. They sunk forty-tve
feet and struck twenty inches of coal, half
camel and half bituminous coal (about ten
inches of each }, and they are now striving
to put it into market. There is considera-
bic opposition Just now for them to contend
with, but the probabilities are that they
will come out ahead. hope they will.
In our correspondence with John James,
Secretary of NJ. n. A., he babe us hope,
and we expect to see John Siney here dur
ngthis summer. Our men are very anxious
to see him, and think he could do a great
deal of good by coming. Yours, etc,
A MINER

INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS USnKD STATES
The Industrial Congress has Just adjourned
after a very harmonious and interesting
session. Nineteen States were represented
and the Presidents and other officers Of nearly
al the leading labor organizations in the
country were present. An organization
among workingmen somewhat similar to that
of the Changers has been provided for, and
measures prescribed that must eventually
lead to the redemption Of labor.
A resolution was adopted calling on the
industrial classes in every city, town and
hamlet of the United States to hold mass
meetings on May Is, next, for the purpose of
protesting against the action Of United States
Supervising Architect Mullett in virtually
making the Eight Hour Law dead letter.

nations in your locality, and agree upon the
