In many mines the e.ght-hour system al

Of the SLOGAN fell off to almost nothing;

steadily refused to pay ten hours wages
as steadily refused to accept less than $3.50
for what they say is legal days work.
The Payne mine and one or two others
have attempted to bring in nonunion men,
and now have, 1t is said, about thirty such
men employed. The union men, of course,
have made every effort to persuade these
men to quit, and in many instances sue

owners was to pay $3.25 per day to miners
and the union scale to laborers. timbermen
and biacksmiths.
