MINERS GET GOOD WAGES.


BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Aug. 1S.-In the
course of the testimony introduced be-
fore the arbitration commission on behalf
of the miners to-day it developed under
cross examination that many of the miners
were ir the habit of taking their boys into
the mines to work with them. each boy be-
ing allowed half turn on cars, although
his coal output went under the fathers
check.
Controversy over the responsibility for
this class of labor led to an argument be-
tween the miners and the principal opera
tors involved in the arbitration, that the
commission in its finding should make
rule that no boys under fourteen years of
age should be allowed to enter the mines in
this district. Under the State law of
Alabama IL has been possible to utilize the
work of the boys of twelve years and over
in the mines I'm any capacity i'm which they
could perform the work required The
miners in all their contracts have insisted
OH this rule being incorporated. although
some Of the companies. notably the Tennes-
see Coal. Iron and Railroad Company, have
entered vigorous protests
The testimony to-day showed that any
miner working twenty days a month could
earn 500 month
