The Wages.
A miner receives fifty cents per ton.
He manages, with the assistance of one
of his boys, to take out about five tons
daily. For this work he should receive
$3.50. But he actually submits to 20
per cent. shave, so that his days wages
is about &c.
The operators claim, in justification
for their refusal to allow "check-
weighers," that the miners are paid too
much money now. This Is true, if the
wages of Pennsylvania are taken as a
standard, for the Tennessee miner has
steady work the year round if he
wants it,
On the other hand the operators can
get convicts from the state at eighty
cents per DAY and it is easy to be seen
that the cost Of mining is reduced there
by greatly,

should be passed at once and the
driver given power to place
any boy under twelve years OF age under
arrest for jumping on car while in motion
