WHAT "cApAsLE" MINERS EARN.
Days Pay Kept Up Despite the
Financial Depression.

Figures compiled from the payrolls
Of some of the anthracite coal-mining
companies, showing the earnings OF
capable contract miners since the
November panic, indicate that the
anthracite mine workers Jared better
during the business depression than
almost amy other class Of labor.
At one of the large collieries In
the middle field the net earnings OF
sixty efficient miners were computed;
the table shows that each Of the sixty
earned. ON the average, $4.44 for
each working day. Several of them
earned more than 800 a month for
the three months considered. At an
other colliery there were six miners
who earned, respectively, $5.03, $6.14.
$6.52, 1915, $500 and 1915 day. The
record OF eighteen capable men at
still another mine shows average daily
earnings Of $4.77.
There is considerable variation
among individuals, because as the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission
said in its report. experience. nat
ural capacity, aptitude for the work.
individual industry, end habits of So
briefly materially affect the amount
that Is earned
Under the award Of the Strike Com
mission, now in force, the minimum
rate at which miners are paid must
remain fixed, regardless Of business
depression or any other circumstance.
Their earnings rise, however. with
the rise in the price of coal in &C
cordance with the sliding scale estab-
lished by the commission. With
every advance OF 5 cents above $3.50
per ton in the selling price OF the
domestic or larger sizes at tidewater,
the mine workers pay is increased l
per cent. It happens, owing to the
market conditions, that April is the
only month in the year during which
the minimum wage prevails.
In a hist Of sixty miners, working
in the colNery of one company. there
are thirty-six who earned at the rate
Of more than $1,000 year during the
three months ending with January.
At this colltery there are employed
only a very small proportion Of the
total number Of miners employed by
the company.-New York Evening
