MINERS QUIT WORK.
Demand of Five Per Cent Increase
Was Refused.

The Bluff Springs coal mine which
is being operated by T. n. James
closed down Saturday and may remain
closed. The demand of the miners for
five per cent increase in wages was
refused, hence the shut down. Mr..
James has been paying 80 cents to
81. 90 per ton for mining coal This
WAS 10 cents more than the O. +. q /.
company paid its miners. Last week
the latter company posted notices of a
five per cent increase in wages, and
the miners of the Bluff Springs mine
made IA similar demand which was re-
fused. Mr.. James when seen by "a
Tribune representative said: 1.-The
we are concerned the mine will stay
closed, We have been paying more
than the Fuel company right along
and all that we can pay and make any
profit on the business. Some of the
men are sorry they made the demand
and may return to work.
The property is being worked by
Mr.. James under lease aud when taken
hold of was capable of producing only
ten tons per day, but by careful man
agement the output of the mine has
increased to about sixty tons per day.
Taking into consideration the wages
paid in other mines and the easy ac-
cess to the Bluff Springs mine and the
further fact that Mr.. James has com
piled with the law in having semi
monthly pay day in which he pays his
men the cash and they are at liberty
to spend their money where they see
fit, it does look like the miners made
mistake in quitting their jobs.
About thirty men were employed in
the Bluff Springs mine.
It is hoped that the mine will soon
resume operations.
