THAT may be. but there are miners
who receive enough to enable them to
keep their children out of the work
house."
A small Slavonfan girl, aged u, who
also worked all night, gave her tes-
tlmony through 13-year-old girl in
terpreter- She worked twelve hours
each night and received 3 cents an
hour She was asked whether her
father owned the house she lived IN.
and she replied: YES"
Chairman Gray, who was standing
up and leaning over TO get the girls
answer, Strengthened up and, as he
walked to his seat. remarked: We'll,
I'd like to see her father
Another 1S-year-oId girl said she
worked all night in the silk mill at
Dunmore for Sc cents a night
Judge Gray-DoeS your father own
his house?
Yes. sir; he's my step-father.''
He is your step-father? I thought
Law Disregarded.
Judge Gray here inquired as to the
law in Pennsylvania regarding child
labor at night. One statute was found
which partially covered the case, and
the chairman remarked that it seemed
as though the statutes of Pennsylvania
in this part of the state do not seem
TO bother any one
Mr. Darrow remarked that the laws
cannot enforce themselves.
After hearing all the girl witnesses
the miners put breaker boy on the
stand. He is IA years old. and has a
10-year-old brother working in the
breaker of the Red Ash company at
Mount Carmel The father OF the boys
was killed in the mines and the IA
year-old brother wrote the note to the
company, which was signed by the
mother, stating that the younger
brother was Of legal age.
An Important Session.
The afternoon session was one of the
most important sittings the commits
sion has yet held, because the question
of whether the close relationship of the
coal carrying roads with the mining
companies shall figure in the commits
sions effort to adjust the controversy
came SQuarely before the arbitrator
The decision of the commission, if
Chairman Gray's remarks can be so
called, was briefly this:
That the commission. in a general
way. is adverse to widening the scope
of the investigation beyond the terms
of the submissions of the miners and
the OpSEalOlSs lnal III carrying on the
investigation 1t assumes the coal COM
panies can afford to pay fair wages:
that if the coal companies, in present
ing their side OF the case maintain tina.
they cannot afford TO give an increase
in wages, then the commission Will
hear what the miners have to say on
the ability of the companies to do so,
and that if a business cannot pay fair
wages the employer ought to get ont
of it. These points were brought out
during the two hours consumed by the
miners lawyers in reading documentary
evidence, to the whole of which the
coal companies entered specific and
general objections.
The mine workers depended great
deal on the evidence they had to pre-
sent to show that the collaborating
roads control the coal companies. and
that the railroads charge exOrbitant
and discriminating freight rates. thus
greatly decreasing the revenues Of the
mining properties.

Captain Duncan McVichie inter-
viewed in Boston Regarding
Bingham Consolidated.
Especial to The Herald.9

Boston, Mass. Dec. 1.-THE directors
OF the Bingham Consolidated Mining
company are in session here discussing
important matters. Captain Duncan
McVichie, general manager of the
mines. has been in attendance and says
regarding the Bingham's prospects,:
THE gold, silver and copper will go
to our own smelter. There will be a
larger tonnage of lead ore from some
Of these properties for which the
American Smelling & Refining company
is negotiating
The find Of copper sulphides and
lead ore in the new Commercial mine
tunnel adds six years to the life of the
Commercial mine at least, and in nv
opinion the ore continues to go down.
At present this one mine is taking
out monthly tonnage of something
over 1000 Our recovery from our ore
is very satisfactory and our metallur-
gical losses have been reduced to the
minimum We are satisfied with the
smelter work."
