BLAINE aud his managers, Stove nj.
kins, have large coal interests In Penn
sylyania and West Virginia, where they
hire pauper labor and pay Starving
wages. An honest wofkingman, who
had been there aud knows what he IL
talking about, testified that Blaine and
Elkins run their properties on the prIn-
clple that mo wOrklngman or intelli
gent mechanic need apply" As TO the
sort Of labor they employ IN their mines,
the following facts are sot forth:
They take Scandlnaylans and Italians,
who work for from 60 20 % cents a day
hardly enough TO keep body and soul
together, Blaine employs pauper labor
In his mines, I0 will employ anybody
who will consent TO work for 60 or %
cents, which no haa often said no re.
garded ~ fair remuneration for days
work. We think otherwise, and on nc
count Of his tyranlcal management Of
his properties and his persistent refusal
to employ lrlshmen or other skilled Ia
borers we are against him. He has
brought into tho country pauper labor
from Norway aud Sweden aud Italy and
active, skilled native mechanics have no
chance TO compete He trades on the
idea that the Irish are poor aud ignor.
ant, Bul there Is q great deal Of intelll
gonc0 even among Irish miners, II

gonce Of some men who comes out OF the
mines dusRy aud black, They are hon
est aud they have no sympathy with u
man like Blaine, who wants TO crush
them and has made every possible effort
TO crush them In the mining districts
In which 90 has an interest,
DO wOrklngmon want to vote for
man who will only employ men who
twill work for sixty or sixty.1ye cents
u day which no haq often said ls fair rO-
enumeration for days work."
