LIFE IN A COAL BREAKER
Dark Picture Drawn of Employment
to Which Young Boys Are
Bound.

Practically every boy graduates
from school to the coal breaker before
he Is fourteen-some boys as early as
ten or eleven years. The coal break
er is gaunt, tower-like wooden struc.
lure, at the top of which the coal Is
broken into the required size for use
and then sent In continuous stream
down chutes which empty into wait.
Ing coal cars or pockets. The boys
are employed to pick out of the NOV,
ing stream the pieces of slate as they
appear-straddling the chutes, or sit.
ting on small wooden projections at
the side. The atmosphere In the
breaker is so thick and dark with fly
ing coal dust that an attempt to take
photograph of a couple of boys al
noon. near a window, resulted in one
indistinguishable black surface; the
noise is so great that could not dis.
tinguish the words of my guide even
when he put his mouth close to my
ear and shouted; the movement and
shaking of the whole structure are at
times so violent that In some break
ers ! have been obliged to hold
tightly to hand rail for safety. The
boys grow SO cramped from long sit
ting in one position that sometimes
they seize the opportunity to chase
one another around the slippery metal
platforms. And there was not one
superintendent in the four or five col.
lieries that we have happened to visit
who did not, upon our questioning, re.
late at least one tragedy that had
occurred In his experience. of a boy
who had slipped into coal pocket
and been snothered, or had been
mangled and killed. by falling into the
machinery. When we have asked
whether the slate picking could not
be done by mechanical devices. the
invariable answer has been, Eyes, but
the boys are cheaper. "-Harper's Mag
