HOW THE MINERS LIVE.
One OF Them Tells of Their wretohed
Condition Under Company Rule.

HA2ELToN, PA, Feb. 2j.-D. N. Evans, q
practical miner, was examined by the con-
gressional investigating committee this morn
ing. He referred to the strike IN the Lehlgh
regions, and The demands made in August, the
refusal to arbitrale. watch resulted In stdke.
He related the pitiable condition Of the
miner, saying they were obliged to trade at
the stores OF the company, and some never
saw dollar in cash. They were unable to
get sufficient 10 cat, and could scarcely buy
calico dress for their wives. The average
earnings OF the miners would not exceed S3O
per month, and out of this the miners took
Se5 annually for taxes. The men were
charged $40 .Der ton for coal. and were
Obliged 70 pay for certain quantity whether

deducted for the physician.
He then discussed the company ttore busi.
ness, saying the miners were charged 10 to l5
per cent. more for articles than at individual
stores, There was no compulsion TO purchase
at the company's stores, no threats of discharge

Of coercion. A miner, for instance, when his
breast of coal was worked out would find no
more work for him and would be compelled
TO return to the grade Of an inside labOrer.
or late, however, the men were getting out OF
that serfdom, and the evil of the store system
did not extend as universally Ms heretofore.
Eyictions were not unusual. Accounts were
submitted showing that after working for
months for the company the men were still In
