DECISIONS FOR COAL MEN.
Anthracite Cancellation Board Disposes
of Five Grievances.


New York, Aug. 27.@The anthra-
cite coal Cancellation board at fits
meeting in this city disposed Of FIVE
grievances. One was the case of Mar
tin Delaney, contract miner who
complained that the Philadelphia &
Reading company violated its agree
ment. The board found for the COM
pany. On pelaney's further complaint
that the company had loaded coal
mined by him during the strike for
which he said he had received no
credit, an investigation as to the facts
was ordered. On the complaint of
George Robinson. engineer of Lessen
ring & Co.. that he had not received
the advance awarded by tie strike
commission, the board directed that
he receive an advance of liz per
cent.
Another complaint was that of the
employees Of Leisenring & Co. that
they work nine and half hours and
receive but nine hours pay. On this
complaint the board adopted the fol-
lowing resolution. I'm the case Of in
side employees at the Oak Hill COL
liery Of Leisenring & Co. the dinner
hour shall be taken as desired by the
company, but If the employees are re-
quired to work the dinner hour in
addition to the nine hours work, they
shall be paid extra compensation
therefor"
Another resolution adopted was as
follows: Resolved, That it is the
sense Of this board that Leisenring &
Co. be requested to use a detacha BILE
receipt in connection with their pay
statement" This action was taken
because the men complained that the
statement made to them previous to
pay day, showing the work they had
done and the amount due, was on the
same piece Of paper as the receipt
and had to be signed by them, leav-
ing no evidence in their hands.
