I. Arbitration Commission.
A MINE WORKERS TESTIMONY
Conditions in the Mines Compared with Those Our Shops and
f. Factories-1he Experience of David Collins Suggests
. ~ a Remedy-Hs Evidence Substantiated by
That Of Baptist Clergyman

A Wiikesbarre physician, testifying be-
fore the presidents arbitration commits
sion, declared that fully 80 per cent of
the men who work irn the coal mines are
anaemic, their health Impoverished and
their general condition below par, thus
decreasing their earning powers. The word
z anaemic'' is medicals term usedato de-
scribe a condition in which the blood, is
deficient in quality, giving the victim a
paid look, dull eyes and listless manner.
That ninety -nine of every one hundred
miners are afflicted with this disease is a
revelation to most people, but a fact of
much deeper concern is that the .condi-
tions that promote this disease exist in
shops and factories in almost every city
throughout the country. ..-,..-. -, :,
Physicians who appeared before the
commission testified that life':is shortened
by work In coal mines. 1t is equally true
that hundreds of thousands of men and
women at work lin our great factories will
die sooner because OF being there.
The testimony adduced before the COM
mission is substantiated by the following
whose experience not only points out a
danger but shows that remedy is at
hand.
A Coal Miners Evidence.
David Collins, a miner, living at New
Straitsyille, Ohio, was a victim of amaze
mia and the. disease had reached that
stage called "pernicious,' which is gen
orally regarded as hopelessly incurable.
In his statement he says:
THE disease came upon me very
gradually. One of the physicians who at
tended me said it must have been COM
ing on for about three years before it
finally brought me SO low that i was con-
fined to my bed. I first noticed the eff
sfects of it about eighteen months before 1
took to my bed with it. My stomach was
most affected 1t became very sensitive
and would not retain food at all My
bowels also troubled me, my limbs were
swollen and. had frequent hemorrhages
of the teeth, and gums and nose.

average OF SS1 In twenty-cne contests The
Turner's, the league leaders, are sixteen pins

The fact that the Tuxedos, although second in
