Men Robbed and Inundated.

The railroad fare was set at $13 to
a day and $3.50 after March 1. Upon
arrival at the destination the fare
had swelled to $40, and March the
| men were told the wages had been
cut to 81. The commissary and
charges for board just equaled the
mems pay, leaving them nothing. A
scent package of smoking tobacco
cost the men rs cents and other
charges were in proportion. Pork
and beans, with a little black coffee,
were the daily fare; an occasional bis
cult, with too much soda for the pal
| ate, was offered.
Their bosses were negroes. Prac-

the unfortunates' condition was face

outside world, in mines twenty miles
or more from a railroad, the real
helplessness of the situation dawned
on the Scandinavians when they found
their foremen were really armed
guards, and that at night men armed
with revolvers and rifles slept in the
next room and on the ground floor
of the clearinghouse, ready with
trained bloodhounds to pursue them
in case of attempted escape.

Washington, -. C.-Returns made 10
the United States Geological Survey
show that the United States has again
exceeded all previous records in the
production OF coal. The forthcoming

ton Will show that the total output
Of the coal mines OF this country in
1903 amounted TO 800, ,32l 81 short

This is an increase Of $3.50, S72
short tons, or 10 per cent. over the
production Of 1902, which amounted
10 30i 800, ,430 tons. The production Of
1909 was nearly double that Of 1898,
and more than three times the output
or 1883. The increase of production
In 1903 over 1902 was equal 10 the
total production OF all kinds Of coal
In 1878. only twenty-five years ago.
The increase N the value OF the
product was still more noticeable. The
value OF the coal product at the mines
IN 1903 amounted 20 SJ0G, 100. .133,
which. compared with the output in
