BREAKER BOYS TO VOTE.
UONT COMPLY WITH HINT
Commissions Report Says They
Haze Too Much Poscer

wflkesbarre Penn April A significant para
graph OF the Anthracite Commissions report is
that which concerns the status OF minors in
union The commission says: we believe it is
wise and inpolit:c permit boys of immature age
and Judgment participate in deciding the policy
and actions OF a labor union. We think
should have such voice in the affairs OF q union
until he has reached his legal majority"
This is held by many 10 be a virtual condenna-
ton of the ordering Of the recent mighty coal
strike since ii is notorious that the older miners
were against striking. and that the Hazeton con-
vention in the hands OF delegates elected by
breaker boys whose votes made up the majority
for the strike. These youthful unionists voted
quite much IN trse interest Of q holiday and
scrim-age in behalf Of the rights of labor. They
throughout the strike a very dangerous ele
1nent- Their mischief making readily passed over
into rowdyisrn, and created an atmosphere of dis
order IN which criminal outrages became possible.
Nevertheless. as far can be ascertained by
conversations which a Tribune correspondent has
OF the miners union. the Anthracite Commission s
opinion regarding the breaker boy vote is resented
and the suggestion 10 do away with it will not be
adopted
With voice the breaker boys Of the anthracite
region condemn the clause IN the finding Of the

The little fellows appreciate their power and they
mean st. they say. while they believe that
they are as valuable members of the union some

has often spoken of his great ambition the
breaker boys out Of the colneries and into the
schools has given the little fellows. much any
thing else. the idea that the union formed for
their benefit and they sincere and loyal in their
af1liation t0 it
The older miners think that the commission over
estimated the power OF the breaker boys, and de-
clare that as the boys have be sixteen years old

part Of his income from the sale OF
rum.

went to one side of the town hall
and those opposed to it to the other.

rose and joined the opponents OF
the traffic. -.
