pitifuI Tales Of Child Labor.

The mine workers, after occupying
10 days In presenting about 100 wit
nesses, practically closed their case
before the Anthracite Coal Strike Com
mission Monday. The decision OF the
commission II Chairman Gray's re-
marks can be so called, was briefly
this: That the commission, in a gen.
eral way, Is adverse to widening the
scope of the investigation beyond the
terms of the submissions OF the miners
and the operators; that In carrying
on the investigation 1t assumes the
cCal companies can afford to pay fair
wages; that II the coal companies, in
presenting their side OF the case, main
tain that they cannot afford to give
an increase In wages, then the commits
sion will hear what the miners have
10 say on the ability Of the companies
TO do so, and that II business cannot
pay fair wages the employer ought
to get out OF It," These points we're
