CHILD SLAVES IN MINES.
The Children of Mining Regions In
Pennsylvania md Their Mis-
cradle Lives.

In the anthracite coal regions of
Pennsylvania there are thousands of
men who began life at the breaker and
are ending there an existence which
has been all 4 dark, hopeless struggle.
1t is not at all eXaggerating the
facts to say that the condition OF. child
hood in the mining region is one APP
preaching slavery, says the New York
World. AS a child the boy starts in
picking bony" at the breaker, and as
an old man, bent and twisted with age
and often deformed by accident, he
comes back to the breaker to finish his
hard career picking bony" with the
little boys who are just starting out
on the life that he has led.
Without schooling, and never too
we'll nourished even when the mines
are being operated on full time, the
little boy goes to tie breaker and
day after day sits astride chute down
which the coal passes from the break
er to the cars or the storage sheds. AS
the coal runs along under him he picks
out the ''bony' or, as it is more COM
monty known, the slate, and throws 1t
to one side. His wages ere so cents a.
day.
If the little boy can get enough to
eat to nourish his body and make it
grow, there comes time some day
when he gets a promotion, ans he is
sent into the mine to tend a door. For
that he is paid 60 cents day to work
ia the darkness and CRIME, opening
and shutting the doors as the cars of
coal are drawn through by mules.
If the door boy doesn't get run over
by a mule car, killed by fall of rock
OF have his life snuffed out by an ex-
plosion, he will some time be given an
other promotion, this time to be
driver of mule, and then he Will get
~ to so cents day.
His next step in the line of promo
ton will be to the ranks of the labor
ers. This will nat come to pass until
he has become NINA, and not even
then unless he is a powerful man, with
muscles like iron, for laborer in

day, when he has work. and out of that

DUTIES TO Be CHARGED
ON WEIGHT OF IMPORTS
Protest Of Chew Ying Lung
Upheld by Treasury

The Board of United States General
Appraisers yesterday decided that duty
can be collected only upon the amount
Of merchandise actually arriving in our
ports. This rule applies to tobacco in
packages equally with other merchan-
disc. and it is decided to be an error
for the collector to take duty on the
basis OF the weight indicated by the in
ternal revenue stamps affixed to the
packages, instead Of the weight return
ed by the United States weigher.
The decision grew out Of the protest
Of Chew Wing lung d Co. against the
decision OF the collector Of customs at
san Francisco as TO the rate and amount
of duties cEargea lie on certain merchan-
disc imported int0 this country. General
Appraiser SOmcrville sustained the pro-
test.
