 Judge Gray suggests brick layers as an example and calls attention to the fact that Dr. Neill reminds him that all labor statisticians and students use the yearly earnings in any trade or calling as the standard.
 MT. Clemo said: Much of the Sheffield Steel company's coke comes from West Virginia.
 Judge Gray said; The anthracite com- mission increased the wages there 10 per cent on the distinct ground of the im- perfect opportunities to work steadily in that region.
 MT. Clemo resumes: Kentucky and Ten nessee coal meet us at Decatur. West Virginia coal comes into competition with us. In the tables I prepared I did not put in Jellico, Pocahontas, Connellsville or Kentucky. Illinois meets us at some points. Pocahontas meets us at Savan- nah and Brunswick.

 The Foreigners.
 Examined by MT. Lewis, witness said The foreigners tried to take in green men and teach them but the bank committee put stop to it as 1t is no allowed by he union rules.
 Frank Weaver.
 Frank Weaver, check weighman from Belle Ellen, was the next witness. He showed tonnage-and earnings of the men for the first fifteen days of August He showed list of men working by them selves in rooms at Belle Ellen. There is only one named Smith. He loaded no coal in June. This is to rebut testimony offer ed by operator that one Smith at Belle Ellen loaded tons a day after 90 days working, having had no previous train ing.
 I have three room house for which pay $525 Powder, oils, squibbs, etc.. cost .09 cents per ton.
 Cross examined by MT Percy witness says When a miner has one ton to his credit he worked that day This mine has been worked chiefly on slope and entry work. Many of[ the rooms are being turned now. Many of the rooms have been turned already. There are men on the list who are credited with one ton on two consecutive days. The men must have worked. l never knew of a seam so small that a good miner could make only one ton per day for three days hand running. l have shown every man who worked those 15 days. The average shows about three tons per man per day. The output of the mine is 40 to 150 tons per day The slope is 1500 feet deep.
 Pat Slattery.
 Pat Slattery a miner who lives at Belle Sumpter in Blue Creek district, was the next witness. He said: l measured the slate in four different entries of the Blue Creek mines. In room there Is 12A inches of rock. In room 19 there Is one foot ten and one half inches of rock. In room No. there is eighteen inches of rock and in room No. 13 there is two feet ten and one fourth inches of rock. This is a fair sample of the east side and think of the west side also

 Judge Gray asks what is the object of this testimony.
 Mir. Flynn answered It is to confute testimony of Rickard. Ricard said there was but 3 inches of slate In this seam. James Cantley, who lives at Brookwood. and is miner, was the next witness and said: I worked in Brookwood in 1S9S It

at Sayreton and have worked there for three years. The slate varies from eight to twelve stratums. For the month Of June the dockage was 5S1 tons. The total tonnage was from 22,0000 to 23000 tons. It would be impossible to shoot an average of l25 tons of coal to a keg of powder. There are some men every day who work but don't send out any coal. Sometimes they are getting ready for the next day. A mans coal may have been docked. The Sayreton mines have shut down two days in this month by the fault of the company. Next Saturday would be pay day if the men had worked in July MT. Strong, the superintendent, says that the mine will not run as the company does not need the coal

Plumbers Not to Meet Here.

The convention of the United Order of Plumbers, Gas and Steam Filters, which was to have been held in Birmingham this month, has been indefinitely post poned.
 It is thought that another convention may not have to be held for several years as the union has adopted a means of settling all matters without holding the annuals.

MT. Fairley Interroaates.

Mir Fairley interrogates Mir. Strong. who says--I had the car picked three times in one day for the purpose of get ting dockage against him and discharg- ing him. He was exceedingly disagree able during 1901-l902 when he raised dis turbances.
 James R. Burtiss of Sayreton. the last witness testifies as follows-I have lived in Sayreton for four years. I was boss driver there. 1t was my business to see that miners got their cars and drivers got out their cars. Often there were men who did not get out any coal, although they worked all day. I only worked in narrow work and used case and one- third of dynamite in q month. When I was boss driver I have seen men who were in the mine all day and got out no coal. A man could not load a car of coal without using powder A man could get out car of coal without powder if he took time enough. I know the Sayre- ton seam well. The impurities run from twenty inches 10 two feet The bottom bench is clean coal and from it a man could make five tons day in q room

Cross-Examincd.

Cross-questioned by MT. Strong-It takes more powder in narrow work than in a room. About one-third of the pow der that goes into the mine goes down on the cars. One-third of the coal shot at Sayreton is shot with dynamite which miners cary into the mine in their pock- cts l have been picked three times in one day. The most slate ever found in my cars was four cans of slate. The cars carries 3300 pounds of coal. The cars were the same size then as now. I had some cars that went to 3s00 pounds.

Judge Gray Appreciates COur-
 teour Manners of Both Sides MAKES GRACIOUS REMARKS
Commission Adlourns Public Sessions Without Day-lt May Be Several Days Before Award Is An
 nounced-All Guessing.

The public hearings of the arbitration commission came to an end with the morning session of yesterday.
 The miners closed their evidence in rebuttal and as both sides had agreed that the case should be submitted without argument. Judge Gray adjourned the hearings without day.
 In adjourning the sessions of the com mission the Judge took occasion to thank all concerned both the parties directly in interest and their attorneys for the cour- teous manner in which they had treated the board and one another, and also for their frankness and straightforward man. ner in presenting the evidence on their respective sides
 He congratulated both the miners and the operators on the mutual good will that has been shown to exist between them. He complimented them on having arrived at the stage of advancement where they are willing to submit their differences to arbitrament, rather than to endeavor to force a settlement by harsher methods.
 The judge praised the people of Birming- ham for the general interest shown in these economic questions which have de- yeloped between capital and labor and thanked them for the welcome which had made his stay here pleasureable. and given him desire to revisit the city at some future time.

SEEK ID RELIEVE
 CONCESTED COURTS Judge and Lawyers Called to
 Meet Next Saturday THE REMEDIES SUGGESTED Representative Haley Says the Chief Thing Is to Get an Additional Judge
 for Civil Cases-Dockets
 Steadily Increasing. '~
THE REMEDIES SUGGESTED

A committee of the members of the legislature from Jefferson county has called a meeting of the judges and prac- tieing lawyers of Birmingham to be held in the Circuit court room at the courthouse Saturday morning at 10 ! o'clock for the purpose of discussing a means to alleviate the congested condi- ton of the courts of the county.
 The City court Is now more than 1000 cases behind, and the Circuit court has nearly 800 that should have been disposed of The dockets instead of diminishing are increasing all the time, and there is no probability that either of the courts will be able to catch up with it's work.
 The Call.
 The call reads as follows:
 "All of the judges and practicing law yers of Jefferson county are hereby re- quested to meet in the Circuit court room at Birmingham on Saturday morn- ing, August 22, at 10 o'clock, for tho pur- pose of considering measure for the re- lief of the courts of said county, and for the more expeditions trials of causes in said courts"
 The call is signed by A. Benners, L. J. Haley, Jr., c. w. Hickman and Hugh Morrow.
 Several remedies have, been suggested but the one that seems to be in great est favor is the establishment of one Su- perior court of Jefferson county. divided into civil and criminal divisions.
 Representative Felix Blackburn has prepared bill which Is said to cover the ground and Attorney Won L. Thompson has also prepared a skeleton of bill which differs but slightly from that of Mr. Blackburn.
 Another Judge.
 Representative L. J. Haley. Jr., stated yesterday that the chief thing will be to get an additional judge for civil cases. The easiest way to do this seems to be to combine the City, Circuit and Chancery courts Into one civil court with chancery jurisdiction and the creation Of one more judgeship.
 There are now two judges in the City court, one in the Circuit court and the chancellor. The plan now under way is
  to have one judge at the head of tho court with four associate judges. In that way it will be possible to have three juries sitting in civil cases all of the time while court is in session.
 I he intention is to leave the Criminal court just as it is except that 1t will be a part of the Superior court of Jefferson county.
 However, nothing definite has been done and the purpose of the meeting Saturday is to get at the best means of remedy ing the present conditions. After the dis cussion at the meeting -a committees will probably be appointed to investigate the matter and report back to meeting of the judges and lawyers next week
 If the bar of Birmingham can agree on a solution of the problem it is not thought that there will be the least trouble about getting the measure through the legislature.
