EDITORS SILVER BELT: Complying with your request for q statement from me about the difficulty encountered with some of our employees, I have this to say:
 For some time it has appeared to me desirable to place. the car men in our service upon contr1et. It seemed a good plan to have them take such an interest in their work that they would not quietly allow stoppages and delays that little attention, little care, or word to the foreman, might prevent.
 Saturday the foreman told the men engaged in this work that, commencing with the ,st of the month, the rate for this employment would be $2.25 per day. This rate was intended for new hands until familiar with the conditions attaching to this work. and as an incentive to be put at contract work, for which the idea was to so set the prices that a fair days work would command the former rate of S2.50 per day, with opportunities for getting even more.
 It was my intention, on Monday morning, to go through the mlne with the foreman and make the rates thai
