A New Question Sprung.

Frank Ivory sued the Central Coal
Company for wages for mining coal
The Company plead a n set-otf au ac-
count for what il called cheeks Ia
which Ivory answered that he was "A
housekeeper with family.
IL seems that the Coal Companies
have sort Of currency that il similar
to money, which Is given TO the miners
and Is taken at the store of the Company
far goods. The object of the suit wac
10 destroy this system, the miners in.
sisting that the entire system operates
as a fraud upon them, and that the
Central Company has purposely de-
layed paying OFF that they might COM
pei their employees Ia accept this kind
of payment. As the checks sell for
about seventy cents on the dollar, II
will he seen there is a loss somewhere
Squire Byers held that these checks
were not included under the head of
"fbod and raiment," and Ivory being H
housekeeper, that the Central Company
could not plead the amount OF the
checks against the sum due him for
labor, and judgment was rendered for
Ivory.
A large crowd WAS on hand Ia hear
the case, and the miners voted TO stand
by Ivory aud employ counsel To test
