The Glass City Building Association has
lest quite a number OF its stockholders OF
| late. and II has been q subject Of worry on
the mart Of the Board OF Directors as to how
q remedy might be applied to recover some
| of the money paid out to members N STOCK.
| A plan has at last been found, and it looks
quite feasible. 1t is proposed to amend Ger;
tain parts OF the bylaws 30 that at stated
periods during each year new members may
be taken into the association, their period
of membership to date from such a time as
they see fit to enter. By this means tue
company hopes to replenish some OF tue
shares that have been withdrawn. :,
Now that the question is about settled
| that several of our window houses are
TO produce their fusl from slack coal, and
that this species of coal is about to beco ne
OF some value, q new idea suggests Itself.
We are Informed that the miner is not CON-
pensated for any of bis product that passe:
through either Of the two screens. Screened
coal includes nut and pea coal which Is
worth considerable to the mine owners. BY
this system of screening the miner is often
imposed upon and gets pay sometimes tor
about onehalf the amount OF coal
that he digs. We do not
mean to imply that the boilers are getting
rich off their coal, for that would be an IN
truth. 1t is pretty generally known that
neither the employer nor the employe have
made expenses about Bellaire tor some
time, but it does seem fairer that the miner
should Re paid for the whole OF his labor,
not part. Some diggers will not blast as
large coal as others, but if the gross weight
is paid each digger, it would satisfy them
better at present OF course prices for min
ing would have to be reduced, but if all the
coal mined is paid for it will be better in the
long run for the handler of the pick.
