A national congress of Austrian and
Hungarian miners was held in Vienna
several weeks ago. One hundred deputies,
representing 80, 900 working miners, were
present The demands of the congress
were: The eight hour day in law and
fact, prohibition of labor in mines for
children under 16 years, increase of rhe
Sunday pause TO thirty-two hours, intro
duction of mine inspection, state exam
ination of all overseers, universal suffrage
and the erection Of free technical schools
The congress also resolved in favor of a
LIST OF May celebration, strikes as an in
dispensable weapon, and the sending of
Adelegation to the international congress
of miners in Paris next year.
