equal to his own, sat down and had II
long chat with him, and ever after
recognized him for what he was, a
gentleman of culture and refinement,
and brother senator.

foremen and mine bosses near here
have accepted brides from foreign ap-
plioants for work, and laid off native
miners to make room for them unknown
to their superiors. Foreigners make q
regular practice OF securing employment
in the mines by paying from s. to s25
cash to the inside foremen for the privi-
lege OF working. AT the Nottingham
