CHILD LABOR BARRED
No Boys Under Fourteen to
be Allowed in the
Mines.
(By the Associated Press. }

Birmingham, Ala, August 1S-In the
course of the testimony for the miners
today, it developed under cross -examina-
tion that many miners are in the habit
of taking their boys into the mines TO
work with them, each boy being allowed
a half turn on cars, although his coal
output goes under the fathers check.
Controversy over the responsibility for
this clause of labor led to an agreement
between the miners and~the principal op-
orators involved IL the arbitration, that
the commission in it's finding shall rule
that no boys under IA years of age he
allowed to enter the mines Ill this district.
Under the State law of Alabama it has
been possible to utilize the labor of boys
of II years and over, In the mines. The
miners in all their contracts have insisted
on this rule being Incorporated, although
some of the companies, notably the Ten
nessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company,
have protested
Mr.. Percy, attorney for the Tennessee
Company, commenting upon the testimony,
stated that the miners were In the habit
of working their boys in the mines. Mr..
Farley, for the miners, replied that the
miners did not wish young boys in the
mines, but that the companies had en-
couraged it. Mr.. Percy said that the
Tennessee Company had endeavored to
prevent boys under ID years old working
in the mines, but that the union fell
back on the State law and insisted on
the IL year old clause being a part of
each new agreement. Mr.. Flynn, presl-
dent of the miners union for the district
declared to the commission that the union
would gladly agree that the commission in
its findings, should make rule that no
boys under IA years old be allowed in
the mines. The representatives of all the
large companies who were present imme-
lately declared themselves in favor Of the
IA year clause, and Judge Gray said the
commission, on the assurance, would make
such a finding.
The testimony today showed that any
miner working twenty days month could
earn Zoo a month.

the Commonwealth of Australia and each

but our volumes being sent out without
any formal application from our court for
exchange only two courts sent their Re-
ports in exchange When Chief Justice
Clark came to the head of the court he
wrote personal and very courteous letter
to the Chief Justice of each of these six
teen courts, requesting such exchange.
Each replied promptly and courteousy
and with scarcely an exception asserting
to the exchange. AS the library already
receives the English and Irish Reports.
cur collection of Laws and Reports will
now be nearly complete. The Chief JUS
tice is now in correspondence with the
Chief Justices in South Africa and India
with view of making the collection still
more complete.
The State Library contains about 40, 900
volumes. Both these Libraries are exceed
ingly valuable. Together they are worth
100000 and many volumes in each could
not be replaced at all if loss came.

Sofia, Bulgaria, August 1S.-A fierce
battle is reported to have occurred in the

firm the previous statements to the effect
that when the Turks re-captured kru
shevo they slaughtered the entire Chris
tian population without exception, and il
is pointed out that among those killed
were the employees of the government to-
bacco establishments, which were under
European control. as the proceeds from
these establishments were assigned to the
service of the Turkish debt.
A reign of terror is reported TO prevail
at Uskub where the Christian inhabitants
are afraid to leave their houses. The Val
has issued the strictest orders to the Mus
sulman population to remain quiet and
not molest their Christian neighbors, but
the Mussulmans, meeting in the mosque
have resolved at given signal to massa
ere the whole Christian population, immed
lately on the first insurgent band ap
pears near Uskub or on any pretext. Tho
Christians are terroriZed. The Turkish
troops who are their only protection, dc
not show the slightest disposition to ald
them. The attitude of the Turkish troops
recently was plainly manifested when a
train load of soldiers shortly after leav
ing Uskub, fired on the Bulgarian work
men who were repairing the track. Three
of the workmen were killed nd their bodies
were left lying on the line.
