their agreement about the close of working

Terms OF Contract

According to the terms of these contracts
As cents per ton is to be the lowest price
paid for mining during the coming year, no
matter how much below IS pig iron may
drop. When iron gets to $3.50 the miners
get Az cents per ton; when it gets to 50,
the miners get so cents; to $40, they get 52l5,
receive So cents, which is to be the maxi
mum rate.
The contracts also call for an increase
in the wages of the day laborers around the
mines such as will make their wages rs per
cent. more than they were a year ago,
when wages were based on iron at $40
a ton. During the past few months all of
their wages have been increased to some
extent, some of them as much as 10 or IL
per cent. Their immediate increase will,
accordingly, be the difference between the
increase they have already received and %
per cent of their old wages. This-applies
to all of the day laborers in the district ex-
cept those at Blocton who are on a sliding
scale basis, similar to the miners them
selves.
The scale at Blue Creek was raised 2
cents per ton. Heretofore the scale has
been 914 below that of Pratt, and the miners
insisted that this should be increased Az

common to hear it said i'm FlOlifda THAT

never be grown as common hay crop
nor generally for pasture. Still There
is a place in st. Augustine where a
find crop off red clover is grown every
