Condition of the Miners

they had previously bought for S1.75 a
ton they could not buy today for less
than S2.l5. The increase to them was
more than 20 per cent. 1t furnished them,
In fact. with one of their ~favorite illus
~trations when they were claiming that the
10 per cent advance in wages secured in
1900 had been entirely eaten up by the In
creased cost of living.
Among the miners'-strictly so called
there is no concern whatever for the eight
hour day. In Oliphant, for the first time, /
came across men who actually worked the
short hours which newspapers hostile to
the union try to represent as typical. In
the little mine where this fireman was
employed most of the miners came out Of
the mines before noon and ii was the ex-
ception when the miner stayed beside
his labor for the whole ten hours. The
mine boss, in fact. told me that two and a
half hours represented the average time
spent by the miners inside Of this mine.
when the various Impressions which I
had received simmered down the impress
sion that remained was that, except in a
few localities and among a few small
classes Of workmen. the present strike IL
chiefly a strike for an advance in wages.
The workers never expected a 20 per cent
advance. II a 5 per cent advance had been
offered them II would gladly have been
accepted, but now hat the strike is on

some substantial concession is granted.

self-respecting little homes I do not know,
but the fact remains that not only in Ply
mouth, but in the mining towns l visited
later near Scranton, the great majority Of
the miners seemed to be living in decent
comfort.
"In talking with the men there was a
similar contradiction in the testimony re-
ceivcd. II they were speaking about their
treatment. their wages we're too small for
them TO live upon; II they were talking
about their ability to hold out for a six
months strike. they were all surprisingly
afiuent. When l reached oliphant. which
is the center OF the union in the northern
district, l was particularly struck with the
mems statements as TO their ability to hold
out. The unmarried Hungarians and Poles,
was told, had nearly all money saved
ahead, and many OF this element had al
ready set out for New York, Philadelphia
and other cities to get work as unskilled
laborers while the strike lasted. The men
who remained near the mines were some of
them able TO get odd Jobs upon n~eighboring
farms. and sometimes upon farms belong
ing to members Of their own family. The
AMOUNT Of work which the men could
secure in summer, and the great reduction
in living expenses which the season
brought. made the summer much the best
time for a strike.
when the men were talking about the
greater cost Of living in the winter, they
emphasized the cost OF coal, and I was
not entirely displeased to hnd that. in
common with other consumers, they had
felt the advance which followed the last
strike. The price Of coal had been ad-
Vaneed 40 cents a ton at the mine, just
as It had been At s~eaboard. and the coal
