Mr.. Hilderbrant. He was awarded
Judgment for $256.97 for coal which he
mined in Oneida colliery, but which was
not loaded and sent to the breaker.
The company's officials conceded the
amount of the claim, but refused to pay
the miner for the coal until it has been
loaded. As this may not be done for
years, the miner properly brought suit
for his labor and won the case.
There are number of similar claims
against the Cross Creek Company and
the decision rendered will be gladly
welcomed by the many miners whose
money has been withheld
