were not receiving their share of it.
He wanted I'm adjustment of the diff

mined coal, and asked that it be fixed
at cents fiat.
What the Diggers Demand.
The miners demands which he read
are as follows: % Absolute run-of-

field; (2) Hat differential of cents
per ton between pick and machine
mined coal; 81 an advance of 1917
cents a ton on pick and machine min
