ArbitatOIs to Put Such a Clause
 in Their Findings
MUCH TESTIMONY GIVEN
Many Facts Brought Out By Miners Yesterday-The Case Before the Commission VIII Be Submit
 ted Without Argument.

Yesterday was the most important day, so far. in the miners arbitration.
 In the course of the testimony intro duced on behalf of the United Mine Work CTS it developed under cross examination of the witnesses that many of the miners were In the habit of taking their boys in- to the mines to work with them, each boy being allowed a half turn on cars all though his coal output went under his fathers check.
 Controversy over the responsibility for this class of labor led to an agreement between the miners and the principal op- orators involved in the arbitration that the commission in its finding should make rule that no boys under fourteen years of age be allowed to enter the mines in this district. Under the state law of Alabama it has been possible to utilize the work of the boys of twelve years and over in the mines in any capacity in which they could perform the work required. 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 entered vigorous protests

Edward Mckee.

Edward Mckee of the Warner mine was the next witness. and said
 am driving heading. I use dynamite as most of the miners do. We pay s7OO case to outside stores. I use Aetna dy- namite 40 per cent. The company stores only keep 33 per cent. I have worked room. A heading is 50 to 65 per cent more expensive than a room to work. would not go out of room where I was making S2.OO to go into heading for U cents additional per day. Heading worK Is harder There is bad air and water l work nine hours day. That is not too much for my health. There was no cross examination.
 Tom Clancy. a Warner miner for the Republic company was the next witness and said:
 l was working on q pillar in the month of May, 1903. I don't know how many days l worked. I loaded coal every day was in the mine. Pillar work is the most dangerous work in the mine. We have to use powder in the Warner in pil- lar work Pillar work pays better than any other work in mine. l am the only Tom Clancy at Warner. I did not work In a room in the month of May at War ner. l worked eight days in June and had man working on my check for nine and one-half days. The man who worked on my check was q practical miner We divided up the pay. Five yards of head ing would not give me 57 tons of coal. We three men made s1s755 in June. did not work on cross cuts in June. I made the cross cuts in February but they did not break through then, and so cred tied it to me in June I don't know what mans expenses are per day in run ming a heading.
 don't know whether my expenses were more than 26 cents a day. I did not work in room in the month of May and did work seventeen and one-half days in June The report made of my work and filed Is untrue. Part of what they credit me with earning in June I earned in February. Many miners at Warner work their boys. but send out all the coal on their check numbers rather than on the boys check Men sometimes run coal on other mems checks to escape garnishees. The S1s755 was gross earnings of the three men for sixty-one and one- half days. It includes tonnage and yard age.
 -exaimend by MT. Percy he said I only worked individually eight days.

COMMITTEE LOOKS
 FOR A GOOD SITE

 Industrial College
WAS VERY WELL PLEASED
Prominent Men From Cincinnati Look ing Into Offers From Birmingham for Freedman's Aid and South
 ern educational School.

The committee of six from the Freed- mems Aid and Southern Educational So- ciety at Cincinnati arrived in Birming- ham yesterday to look over the city with a view to locating a large negro indus trial college here.
 The day was spent by the committee in conference in the City Hall with prom inent men, and later in driving to the three sites which have been offered the society should the college be brought here.
 The committee will leave this morning at 610 o'clock for Anniston to look over the situation there and to hear the ar guments of that community.
 The three sites here which have been offered the committee to select from are at Cleveland, Rosedale and beyond Avon dale. The members of the committee ex- pressed themselves as being pleased with all the sites. but have not committed themselves as to where they will recom- mend that the college be built. It is thought that they consider Birmingham is the place for the college if the offers are as good as those of other cities.

Bishop WaIden's Remarks.

Bishop Walden made a short talk in which he outlined the needs of the college and what the society proposed doing. He stated that about s25O,O0O would be spent on the institution within the next five years and that the school would be capa- ble of accommodating about 1000 students. He also said that Birmingham was the center which the committee desired and that the college would be located here If all other things were equal. He seemed impressed with the enthusiasm which was evident at the meeting yesterday morning and the other members of the committee were favorab1y impressed
 Bishop Walden emphasized the fact that this college would not be in opposi- ton to Booker Washington in any way, but that 1t would work along different line. He also stated that there would bo a number of smaller schools located In Alabama, all of which would be tributary to the main college, the location of which is the matter under consideration now.
 He described the beginning of the socie- ty forty years ago and the proposal to locate a college In every southern state. and of having forty-seven similar col leges located in the south, with large ones at Atlanta, Orangeburg, s. C., and New Orleans
 Local Speeches.
 Dr. J. II. Mccoy then spoke, showing the large number of negroes who are hocking to this section of the state, and depicting the need of college here. l4ls presentation of facts seemed to impress the visiting committee.
 F. M. Jackson, president of the Com- merciaI club. spoke of the evils of so many negro saloons and stated that a school was the only remedy. He was followed by Hines Peavey, Dr. L. s. Crowman, Dr. J. II. Phillips and other white men w. c. Pettiford, the negro banker, Dr. Buckner and other negroes also spoke in favor of the school M. c. B. Mason closed the meeting by giving an analysis of the situation.
