WAGES OF The
MINE WORKERS

In an article on the strike situation,
in the Chicago Record, william Il. Cur
tis, one of the ablest of the newspaper
men who have taken up the consider
alton of this subject, says about the
question of wages:
I notice that several people have questioned
the accuracy Of my statements concerning 'he
earnings of miners in the anthracite coal region.
pnd 1t is asserted that their average wages do
not exceed $3.50 year. Ny figures were taken
from the actual pay rolls OF mining companies.
which were readily submitted for Inspection, ahh
there Is no doubt OF their genuineness, because
they bore the signatures OF the men who re-
ceived the money. II you question union ayi-
tator about the earnings OF the miners. as l
have done u dozen or more times. he will tell
YOU the maximum is $3.50 a year. When yon
ask his authority lie hands you printed state
ment of Mr.. Mitchell's, the president and
speech Of Mr.. Bryans, which have been printed
in slips and distributed in large quantities
throughout the mining regions. II You ask Mr.
Mitchell lie will tell you that he got his infor'
nation from the miners and that n thorough in
yestigation has convinced lin of the accuracy
OF his figures. But Mr.. Mitchell has never seen
n pay roll of single mine in the a,'efracic
| region and his information comes only rom as
cGntentcd men. Tho men who are earning nig
wages do not advertise that fact. The man VINO
makes $50 month Ia silent; the men Desiue
him who makes $40 a month talks about it all
the time, but when you come to investigate Tie
two cases YOU will find that the 800 men have
worked twice as long and twice as hard as the
$50 men.
| As | have explained in previous letters, tie
sure riptendcnt fixes the number OF days a miner
may work, but il is optional with the miner
| how many hours he stays underground on those
| days. lie can work six, eight, ten or twel'e
| hours n day. or even longer if he likes and has
the endurance, hut few miners remain under
| ground more than six hours, and seldom worn
more than four or five days in the week. The
pay rolls of n dozen mining companies that
can name are open to the inspection OF any
honorable person. Mr.. Mitchell will be allowed
to examine them any time lie pleases, and Will
find that many miners are earning as much as
| SIS and $50 month net because they are men
of skill, industry and endurance. He will also
| find that others are earning 800 and S35 month
| There is no need Of controversy about miners
| wages The books and pay rolls are open, anu
can he examined at any time. The miners in
several localities are being paid off this week

September, before the strike began. and I have

During the afternoon the arrest OF
the day was made, when Anthony

was arrested and arraigned before AL

When stein was arraigned before the
magistrate he professed to be Ignorant
of breaking the law. and said that
he sold under the license secured for
the place by the owner.
Alderman Howe took these eXtenuat-
ing circumstances into consideration
and let off Stein, who is a foreigner
and apparently very Ignorant or

payment of $40 fine and the costs
in the case.
A SECOND TIME.
Stein was also arrested on a war

A Liberal Move in Accident Under
writing,

The Aetna, the largest and strongest
company in the world writing accident
and health insurance, is issuing new
accident contract, at the standing price
Many things which the public think an
accident policy ought to cover, and
which have not been covered hereto
fore, are provided for. 1t also elimin-
ates most Of the restrictive conditions
usually found in accident policies. all
of which make it the most attractive
policy now on the market. 1t pays
weekly indemnity up to the full face
of the policy, covering a period of prac-
tically four years from date Of injury
The indemnity is payable every two
months during disability, instead of at
it's termination as heretofore.
1t pays double benefits, not only for
railroad, steamboat and street car ac-
cidents. but also for bicycle, public
automobile, elevator and accidents hap
pening in any burning building.
1t pays 100 per cent. for hydrophobia

A TIRE ORDINANCE.
Mr. Chittenden's Measure Fixing
Width of All Vehicle Tires.

An ordinance introduced on Thurs
day night in select council by Council
man Charles T.. Chittenden, of the
Ninth ward, will, according to that
gentleman, save the city vast amount
of money every year, If it passes.
1t fixes a standard width for tires on
all vehicles used within the city limits
and provides penalty for the viola
tion of it's provisions. 1t fixes the
width of tires as follows: For wagons
with iron aXles 21a inches or more
square, 5 inches wide; for aXles 9
inches square, inches wide; for aXles
lA inches square, 21a inches wide.
The ordinance is to go into effect on
January /, 1908, and upon it's passage
the city clerk is directed to mail copies
of it to all wagon and carriage makers.
The penalty for a violation of its pro-
visions is fixed at $50 for each offense.
Similar ordinances have been intro
duced in councils on two previous oc-
casions and have been defeated in both
instances, largely because it was con-
sidered that the time given the wagon
owners was not sufficient. Mr.. Chit
tenden allows them two years, and has
hopes Of getting his measure through.
In speaking about it to q Tribune
reporter yesterday, he made the state
ment that If the ordinance (was passed
it would mean the reduction by at least
IS per cent of the ward appropriations
now made for the keeping of unpaved
streets in repair. The wider the tire.
of course the less wear and tear on the
road. The ward appropriations this
year amounted to $l5,90l, rs per cent.
of which would be $l1,925.75.
AS an instance in point, he referred
to the road leading from the Twelfth
ward up the hill to Lake Scranton.
This has recently been repaired at a
cost of over $500, he said, and has been
repaired well. A few weeks ago some
one began hauling stone over it in
wagons with 1h inch tires and carry
ing as much as four tons in some cases.
The result Is that the road is now in
horrible condition, and the $500 is prac-
tically gone for naught.
Mr. Chittenden's ordinance is mod
eled after a law recently passed by the
Connecticut legislature regulating the
width of tires to be used on wagons
throughout that state.

ROBBED BY BURGLARS
Secured 800 Worth of Goods from
Judge & Co.'s Store Thursday
Night-Thieves Fired Upon.

At an early hour yesterday morning
burglars entered the store Of Judge &c
Co.. on Main street, by removing
pane of glass in the door. The burg
lars set at work at once and succeeded
in carrying away goods to the value of
about 800, consisting mostly Of shoes
and jewelry. The haul would have been
greater had they not been frightened
away by James Powell, the furniture
dealer, whose residence is near.
Mr.. Powell, on Investigation. noticed
that the burglars were four in number
and had a light spring wagon. and af-
ter sizing up the situation, he at once
returned to the house, secured revolt
YER and began to fire out of the WIN
dow. The robbers on hearing the dis
charge Of firearms made their way i'm
mediately to the wagon. Mr.. Powell
continued firing.
BY this time several neighbors
were on the scene and they
started after the burglars and traced
them to Old Forge, where they were
lost track of.
