day Now on 62h cents scale they av-
erage s2.63 per day for ATS men. When
the men were working at lower rate
than now under exactly the sarle physical
condition they made more money.
The NTH in 1898 varied among the 475 in
the month of August from $2,s2 per day
to IS or 81 per day, but average was 1912.
Now as to what is considered an eight
hour day, l will read from the Indiana
rule: Eight hours a day at the face of the
coal, six days In the week, or forty
eight hours a week No local rule to vary
this.
Two Weeks Pay.
AS to two weeks pay, l consider 1t
proper for any manufacturer or operator
to run a commissary. The commissary
is often a necessity to the successful
operator. 1t saves time to the company
proper food and fair prices. Other mer-
chants would not run stores as favorably
to the miners as the companies do. Men
would run accounts anyway. Garnishees
are a great burden to the men, and If it
were not for the commissary stores there
would be many more of them. These
stores are run more for the benefit of the
men than for any other reason. Terms
of payment at mines are once a month.
The pay days are thirty days apart.
Men can always get credit at the store
to the extent of any wages coming to
49, h.
tenn that the miners prefer. A mans
check is punched at the store If he does
not care to use its full face value at

Nashville about fifty per cent are white.
| think that rule prevails on the roads
that come into Birmingham. | don
know how many are white and how
many are colored. 1t would be mere
matter of guess work for me to say.
Many negro miners are good, sometimes
they are as good miners as white men.
We work about 220 miners at Brook
wood and 216 at Searles. They are four
or five miles apart, and we have two doc
tors at each place. The day men al
each place are about thirty per cent of
the whole number. One doctor at eaeT
place Is responsible and he employs his
assistant | never knew doctors as
sistant to get less than 5000 month.
The company deducts fifteen to twenty
per cent for charity fund from the as
sessments paid by the miners.
Cost OF Houses.
The houses cost from $500 to $500. The
500 house rents from 50 to SO a month.
The $500 houses are built of undressed
lumber. They have two rooms with a
shed for kitchen. The S400 house has
Ave rooms and it rents for IS to 1926 per
month, The houses are an investment
we are obliged to make and becomes alb
solutely worthless when the mine can
no longer be worked
Questioned by Mr.. Uercy, Col. Bush
said:
The great percentage Of coal in dis
tricts outside of Birmingham that Is
used for coke comes from the Connells-
vile and Pocahontas districts. We don't
charge up high enough royalties to re-
store lands worked. There are few mod
ern furnaces in this district with the la
Dor saving devices, The newest furnaces
with skip hoists and other modern appli-
anoes are at Admission, Gadsden, Thomas
and Tuscaloosa.
The balance of our furnaces are short
in blowing engines. labor saving appli-
ances and capacity. Northern furnaces
are modern. Alabama furnaces arr ten
to fifteen years behind the time. In mali.
ing estimates for cost of production we
should make a charge for keeping our
plant up-to-date. Up to 1899 every furnace
in this district simply struggled for ex-
istenee. Our plants (speaking of the dis
trict as a whole were so out OF date that
we could not take advantage of the high
prices of the last four years.
Question of Capital.
The enterprises in this district are poor

Day men up there work from a. m. to
6 p. m. Company men stopped three-quar-
tiers of an hour for dinner. A driver av-
erages 381a to 80 tons per day in Blocton
and gets $1,78. In the Pocahontas field
our drivers averaged seventy-five to
eighty tons daily, and they received 81 rs

the same. Price per ton for drivers is
about double here what 1t is in the Po-
cahontas field
We undercut in Pocahontas field 1t

perenced men in Blocton mines, but the
percentage is small. We have $50 miners
at Blocton. green man works with an
experienced man for three of four months,
and after four months he would get out
four or five tons day. In underwriting
the miner begins in a kneeling position or
lying on his side. In Bloeton they don't
undercut but shoot from the solid. Drivers
work at Bloeton about nine hours They
start down about O'Clock with the mules
The mules are already harnessed They
get down to the car about 1880 They
get out at 4:20 to 4:30. We shoot at
o'clock. Miners go down all the way from
a. m. to a. m. They come out from 2
to p. m. The union don't allow working

groes don't do as much work on the aver
age as the white miners. The foreign
labor Is the best, 1t Is better han native

Experienced Loss.
We experienced loss from men lying out

35% days when they might have worked
between January and June 30 1903 Some
Of our miners could go into the Pocahon-

RAILROAD WORLD.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat, in its
recent account of the Rock Island-Frisco-
Seaboard deal, says:
The acquisition of Seaboard stock was
made through private channels it being
understood that a number Of the large
southern holders of Seaboard securities
rendered them to the new interests. 1t
is understood that the acquisition of the
Seaboard securities was made directly by
the st. Louis and San Francisco inter-
ests, and that they had practically, If not
complete control of the voting stock.
This transaction will eventually bring
a new factor into the southern railroad
field and in number of ways will lead
to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Rock Island
system. The Frisco and the Seaboard
Air Line connect at Birmingham, Ala i.
and a Frisco man pointed out on a rail-
road atlas the good start toward a trans
continental system afforded by the ANAL
gamation The Seaboard runs into New
York through an operating agreement
with the Pennsylvania railroad and it
owns one-sixth of the stock of the Rich
mond and Washington company. viii h
controls the line from Richmond Va, to
Washington, and is owned in common
by the Atlantic Coast line. the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Chesapeake and Ohio, the
Pennsylvania railroad and the Southern
railway.
Through these connections a route is
opened from this city to Birmingham
over the Seaboard and from Birmingham
to Ell Paso over the Frisco and the Rock
Island.
The New York Commercial says:
President B. It. Yoakum of the Frisco
was particularly active in bringing about
the Seaboard deal 1t is said the deal
was begun in the Waldorf on Tuesday
night after dinner and it was finished at
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. This is
the fourth time that Mr. Yoakum has
woundup railroad deal within twenty
four hours
The purchase of the Evansville and
Terre Haute from Hooley G. Co. of the
Birmingham Belt year ago and of the
Kansas, Fort Scott and Memphis the
year before that were the other cases.
The sale of the Seaboard brings the
total mileage controlled by, or at least
operated in close harmony with, the Rock
Island management up to 1911 miles, as
follows:

Some tabulations have made it appear
that the Rock Island lines had a mileage
something like 1900 miles. The mistake
was made by combining the Frisco and
the Rock Island mileage

The fifth day of the arbitration commits

1t was 1910 when Judge Gray called the
commission to order.

were no other casualties
Colonel Bush resumed his testimony.
Most of our employees. testified Colonel
Bush, live in company houses. and the
rent, fuel, water rates, ETC., are much
cheaper than in the cities wnere railroad
and furnace employees live. They also get
cheaper country produce-Butter, milk,
vegetables, etc.
The Coal Operators association was
formed for the sole purpose of dealing
with the miners organization In order
to get uniform contracts Coal prices are
regulated entirely by supply and demand.
1t is competition between the operators
In this district. There Is no coal pro-
ducers' pool in this district.

We have TO keep open Is per cent more
rooms and headings in our mines because
Of irregularity of miners in working We
also have to keep forty to fifty more
houses. We have TO keep more territory
up than when We got out more
coal in past years when the men worked
more regularly The reduced tonnage per
man is due to the men working fewer
days per month. This applies particularly
to Brookwood and Searles.
