mines would Mt once put
the mine workers and their families in
a class apart from the ordinary human
beings, writes Paul Latzke, in the De
troit Free Press. The newspaper ac-
counts have paved the way for this,
and the appearance of the men and
boys in their working outfit clinches
the impression. No other body of
laborerS in the world carry such
strong external evidences Of their vo-
cation. From the top of their heads,
where their mining lamps flare from
the peaks of their queer shaped caps,
to their feet, shod with great, grimy,
thick-soled, ciamping boots, the mine
workers bear the obtrusive stamp of
their trade. They look uncanny, fierce.
! Take the most mild hammered and IN
offensive little man that lives, clothc
him i'll the miners regalia, let him
hammer for eight or ten hours under
ground, and he will come up a fear
some object The most courageous
woman from the outside world would
run from such Il man at the least
demonstration. Should She unexpect-
edly meet him at dark on lonely road,
having never seen 4 miner before, she
would probably have an attack of
hysteria.
The faces of the men are hard and
scanned and sallow, and, thick with
coal dust, they are almost less than
human to the unaccustomed gaze.
Their eyes are outlined with crows
feet, no matter how young they may
be, and they have peculiar squirting
look, due TO their constant working in
the half gloom of the coal tunnels. 1t
is recorded OF some of the mules that
pull coal cars in the mines, that, hav-
ing worked for years under ground
without once coming up, they have
gone instantly blind, on being exposed
to the daylight. In measure it is so
with the men Gnd boys who spend
| their working hours day after day
underground. The daylight gives
them an uncomfortable sensation and
they acquire the habit of screwing up
their eyes that finally affects all the
muscles OF the I;c,.
1t is owing 10 these strongly marked
pecularities that the mine workers
are put down at first by newspaper
correspondents and writer's in the dis
trict rs something apart. Even the
trained observer requires some time
to accustom himself to their striking
appearance and to realize that after
all these men are like other men, and
that their women, though they have
absorbed many of the characteristics
Of the men, are like other women. 1t
is not until he has spent little time
among the miners that he comes to re-
gard them as ordinary workmen. On
n Sunday or holiday with the Crime
washed off their faces, their mining
lamps hung away, their working
clothes removed, the men look an en-
tlrely different lot of human beings.
Then it is only by their crows feet

and the paleness of their skins, due
to their underground life, that they
are to be recognized. The first time
l ever saw a considerable body Of the
miners together was a Sunday mass
meeting before the big strike was
called. 1 wSs amazed at the unlike
ness to their pictured appearance For
all that any one could have told the
mass meeting might have been at
Cooper Union in New York. The only
difference was that most of the men
and women, too, for there were lots
of women in the crowd-were much
better dressed than the crowd that
