CHILDREN TOLL
IN NIGHT TINE.
LITTLE MINERS GIRLS APPEAR
BEFORE ARBITRATOR BOARD.
Work for Pennies to Help Parents.
Fathers Cannot Earn Living
Digging Coal in Shafts. All
Members Of Family Must Help. Piti-
Field. Worst Not Told.

SCRANTON, Pa. Dec. 15.-Out of
the mouths of children came truths to-
day that filled the members of the an
thracite coal strike commission with
horror. and made them gaze at one an
other in astonishment
The testimony was gwen by little
girls, employed in the silk mills, where
help swell the family fund.
The children were brought forward
by the miners, to show that the wages
paid the men in the mines are not SUI
ticient to live on, much less care for
family, and that tender little children
are therefore forced to forego all the
pleasures of childhood and begin at a
tender age to do their share toward
maintaining the family.
Commissioners Stand Aghast.
While all of the commissioners stood
dren, many of whom work more hours
than the average man, several Of the
members were of the opinion that the
parents were guilty. in allowing the lit
tie ones to battle with the world in the
daily quest for bread.
The scene was dramatic in the eX-
treme as the little ones took the stand
and told Of their daily toll in the mills.
The first girl called was only II years
old, and she had to go to work because

She said she worked from I a. m.
until p. m. for 81 a week.
Will Leave Next Week.
In answer to Chairman Gray, she
said her father expects to take her out
of the mills next week. to which Judge
Gray replied that he should be CONF
mended.
Annie Denks, aged 10 years. said she
worked at night from $50 o'clock until
$3.50 a. m.
She had to stand up all night to do
her work and received IS cents a night
When the girl said she was employ
ed at night every member Of the COM
mission seemed to be shocked.
Judge Gray appeared especially in
dignant. 7a3
He asked her where her father
worked, and she told him in the mines.
The girl also told the number of per-
sons in the family and finally Judge
Gray said he would like to see the
father.
Il would like to see the fathers of
these girls" he repeated. 1T may |be
necessity to send them to the mills but
I don't think a father has a right to
coin the flesh and blood of his chill
dren into money. It is an outrage.

The chairman spoke with much feel
