ARBITRATION WINS
Judge Gray Holds Each Side
Shall Pay Half of Shot
Firers' Expenses.

Springfield, Ill, July S.-Judge
George Gray of Delaware, who was Sc.
lected as the fifth arbitrator by the ar
bitrators selected by the operators and
miners of Illinois to decide whether the
operators or miners should bear the
expense of shot firers, has decided that
the miners shall reimb burse the operat-
ors one-half for the expense concurred
by the employment of shot frers.
Judge Gray in his decision says. as
the case is presented to him it is not
necessary to consider the legal effect
of the shot firers' act on the obligation
of the contract of April 4, 1904. He
says that the question of whether the
state law was a violation of the con-
tract clause of the constitution of the
United States as it impaired the obli-
cations of contract, is a judicial one
to be determined by a judicial trib-
unaI. The only question to be decided
by him, Judge Gray says, is whether in
good conscience and equity, under all
circumstances in the case, the miners
should reimburse the operators for the
outlay necessary to employ the shot
firers required by law.
Benefit to Operators.
He holds that the firing done by
these inspectors may be, in reason of
greater regularity and better methods
employed to insure the benefit of the
operators, so far as to some extent, at
least, to compensate him for the in
creased expense over the old methods.
He says that it is not without sig
nificance that the miners IN the con-
vention that made the agreement of
April 4, 1904, had urged that shot fir
ers should be provided for in said con-
tract and that this proposition was pc
remptorily refused by the representa-
tives of operators.
Receive 81 IA Day.
The agreement made between the
two executive boards was that shot
firers shall receive 81 per day of eight
hours, and that the shot firers shall
go into the mine a sufficient length OF
time to satisfy himself that the shots
have been properly placed and pre-
pared. When examining shots, the
shot frers shall work single, when fir
ing shots they shall work double.
The mines, which have been idle
since July /, will resume operations as
soon as shot firers can be secured.
