WHAT THE MINERS SAY.

The miners allege that they have a
triple cause for complaint against their
employers. one of the officers of the
Mine Workers union, at Old Forge,
said yesterday:
Things have not been going along
very smooth since the last strike. At
No. 2 there is "A layer of soapstone rock
from six inches to two feet in thick
ness over the coal. The custom was
to leave this stand after the coal was
removed and keep it in place by means
of props, but so many men were killed
and injured by falls of this stuff that
the mine inspector ordered that it be
taken down as fast as the coal was
removed from beneath it, The miners
did not feel they could do this addi-
tional amount of mining for nothing,
and after a conference with Jermyn e.
Co. were allowed fifty cents yard for
it. When the men went back after the
strike they were not allowed for this
yardage, and have not been at any
time since.
This displeased them and when
they noticed that men who had been in
any way prominent i'm the strike We're
being discharged at every opportunity
they became resentful and there was
some talk of strike. When this be-
came noised about the mine shut down
for repairs and has since remained
shut down. It has been idle now a
little over three weeks.
TROUBLE OVER DOCKING.
AT No. 1 shaft prominent members
of the union were also discharged. and
there was also a good deal of trouble
over the docking. When we went back
to work last November we did so on
a verbal agreement that we would not
he docked unless the amount of rock
in "A car exceeded 500 pounds. If il
went over 1000 pounds we wanted tho
miner called out and warned, and if
he continued to load that much rock
thereafter we would not oppose his dis
missal
This agreement has been ignored by
our employers, who have been docking
us right along for small amounts Of
rock, and they have docked us for put
ting small coal in the cars. although
they afterwards screened and sold IT,.
Friday we went to Joseph j. Jcrmyn
to talk over our troubles with him. but
his conduct and language were such
that our committee had to leave.
"When a report was made to the
union of what had been done a strike
was at once ordered and this morning
when the whistle blew there was no
one to go down into the mine.
I'VE will not go back until we have.
a thorough understanding about the
matter of dockaGe and the discharge
of union men. We also want restor
alton of the yardage paid for taking
down soapstone rock"
No attempt was made yesterday to
operate either No. / or No. by Jermyr
