HUSTLINC FOR
CERTIFICATES
Age. Limit Mine Law Is
Being Enforced.
Parents Have to Swear That
Their Sons Are Up to the
Required Mark or the Boys
Will Be Discharged.

The amendment passed by the late
legislature to the laws governing the
anthracite coal district of the state, in
which it is provided that boys under IA
years of age shall not be employed in or
around the breakers, and that boys
under 16 years shall not be employed
inside the mines, is now in force, and in
compliance with its provisions large
mum bers of boys employed at the collier
les around town have been discharged
and will not be re-employed until they
present a certificate of age sworn to by
their father, mother or guardian.
The officials of G. B. Markle G. Co.
and the Upper Lehigh Coal Company,
during the past week, made a canvas
of their minor employees and are enforc-
ing the new law strictly.
As result of this, the justices and
notaries public of town have been busy
filling out certificates of age for the
parents of the discharged boys, in order
that the latter may continue at work.
Notwithstanding the fact that a law
OF this kind was suggested by the report
of the Coal Strike mmission, and that
the age limit bill was endorsed by rep
resentatives of the miners union and
the operators before the legislature and
the governor, there is more or less dis
satisfaction with its provisions.
Those families who are compelled to
take their boys out of the mines, because
they are short few months of l6 years,
are especially dispeased at what they

0ne-Sided Slidinu Scale.

Serious trouble is threatened in fix
ing wages under the new sliding scale
established by the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission. That body provid-
ed that for each increase of 5 cents
In the average of white-ash coal OF
sizes above pea coal sold at or near New
York ports above $4 so per ton, or be-
tween Perth Amboy and Edgewater, an
increase of per cent in the compensa-
tion of the employees at the mines shall
be paid.
AS the prices of coal have been raised
10 cents per ton for May, the increase of
wages to the miners and laborers would
be per cent If the sliding scale should
work as it is popularity supposed by the
miners it will work.
Officials of the Reading Company, how
ever, say that there will likely be no
increase of wages during during May or
June, because Perth Amboy is COM
petitive point, and the circular prices
are not maintained there. Steps will
probably be taken to appoint a commits
soner at Perth Amboy to compute the
average prices.

deem a hardship, as the earnings of the
mines than on the breakers.
However, after the first effects OF the
law have passed away, it is believed that
all parties affected will realize that the
new legislation is of great benefit to the
children, and the time will come when
those who now so loudly denounce the
supporters and defenders,
Those who have seen the boys come
rushing homeward from the breakers
near town or have seen the young lads
who spend their days in the mines, and
have stopped to consider the matter in
all its phases, unreservedly endorse the
new law and are satisfied that the state
has done wisely by stepping in to protect
the youth of the anthracite coal district.
In the past some necessity may have
existed for sacrificing the health of
these boys by sending them to the
breakers and mines at the age of 10 and
IL years, on the score that their earn
ings were required to support them,
but this plea does not hold good today,
and those who are affected and dissatis-
fed because their children cannot be
enslaved will serve their own interests
best by taking common sense view of
the subject
The new law probably has, and in
future may, lead to considerable false
swearing. What to do with persons
who will perjure themselves in order
that they may be permitted to sacrifice
their children is question to be settled
later, but the immediate problem
throughout the anthracite region is:
What is to become of the boys?n
Those dismissed from the mines can go
back TO the breakers, but what about
those dismissed from the breakers?
They have been discharged at a time
when the schools are about closing and
there seems to be nothing left but the
streets and the hills. A few of them
can get employment at the mills and
factories and few more may be needed
in the stores of town, but the greater

1.-The vast army of men who have been
sacrificed upon the altar of devotion to
the principles of trades unionism in our

tion Of the old adage that the blood of
the martyr is the seed of the church.
Their persistent efforts and their sacri-
fees laid the foundation that has made
our present magnificent organization

"Prominent in the annals of our rever-
ed and martyred dead are recorded the
names of the faithful and heroic miners
who were massacred at Lattimer, Pa,
September 10, 1897. Nearly six years
have elapsed since they led the van
guard and sacrificed their lives in an
