The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-12-12

Thomas Malone, a miner at the white
Oak colliery Of the Delaware and Hud-
| son company, made complaint of being
| compelled to work at robbing pillars
| for sixty-nine cents, when he had been
making "A cents at breast. Four men
working in a gang made only $50 in
| two weeks. The four men fill ten cars
| a day.
Mr.. Torrey brought out that the wit
ness had worked out his chamber and
was told that on account of their being
too many men at the White Oak he
would have to take job at robbing
pillars or quit. The witness did not be-
lieve there were too many men. New
men are being hired right along, he
said.
Three Sizes Of Cars
r. j. Rogan, Temple Iron company
miner at the Sterrick Creek collieres,
testified that there are three sizes of
cars at this colliery, sixty-six cubic
feet, seventy and sixth cubic feet,
and eighty-six and three eighths cubic
feet, and that the size of the car has
grown constantly without a correspond
ing increase in wages He also COM
planned that the men were not paid for
purities that must be removed to get
out the coal.
On cross he admitted in
response to questions by Major Warren,
that some allowances are made for
working out the impurities. He also
would not deny that it was fact that
he was docked only forty-five cars out
of 1926. The witness denied that "black
head and slab" was taken into con-
sideratiOn when an agreement was
made about the price per car. 1t was
shown that the witness and his laborer
earned $936.42 last year.
1t is possible a recess will be taken

A magazine published in 1923 gives
the following method to improve wa
ter for drinking: Let the water,
when boiled, be put into common
barrel churn, where it may be agi-
tated TO any degree that may be
wished for. In the course of its be-
ing thus agitated it will absorb at
mospheric air, and other elastic
fluids with which it may come in
contact. 1t will thus become liquor,
safe, palatable and wholesome, TO be
obtained with little trouble and ex-
pense, AMI accessible in its utmost
perfection to the poorest individual.
Those who wish to drink this whole
some beverage in its utmost perfec-
tion should, after having it boiled
and filtered, cause il TO be churned
as above directed, then bottled, with
a couple Of dried raisins in each bot
tie; this viii give it a sufficient guam
tity of fixed air. If then used il be-
comes truly delicious.-Detroit Free
