wages were low until the use OF an
thrscite for the purpose OF smelling
and the opening OF new railroads gave
them an upward tendency. which was
materially advanced until the civil war.
Toward the close Of the war contract
miners made as high as $lGO to $2tNl
a month, when a decrease in wages be
gan, which finally led the miners to
strike.
NINE STRIKES
The strike was ordered on April -
1863 to go into effect on May ~. In
the upper Pennsylvania coal regions
the strike continued from April to Au-
gust, i've months. In the lower II
lasted but six weeks. Its main object
was stated to be the restriction OF the
output.
Sliding scales We're established In
the I.ehigh and Schuylkill districts IN
1863. When the operators found that
these scales worked to their disadvan-
tage they lowered the ''bases.' where
upon the next year there was another
strike, the men remaining idle for sew
eral months. Meanwhile the operators
in the northern field, by paying better
wages. kept their men at work and
secured permanently much of the
trade Of the upper regions.
Disastrous strikes In 1871 brought
arbitration into existence In the
Schuyikill district. where provision
was made for the regular boards OF
arbitration to decide future disputes.
In this year was the first combination
Of the railroad companies to compel
Individual operators to pay the COM
panies' scale of wages. In 1873 oper-
ators and companies combined to
ma intain prices and to restrict produc-
ton.
The strike Of 1876. which was order
ed in 1873 by the Miners and Labor
ers' benevolent association against Il
reduction Of wages. lasted for six
months. On Jan. l, 1883. the Knights
OF Labor ordered strike The min
ers went back to work inside Of two
months at the old rate of wages. The
next strike was the six weeks OF con-
tiict OF 1900. and later came the long
drawn out conflict Of 1902
The British coal strike this year af-
fected 1.OOO,OOO workers Immediately
it was declared.

THE BREAKER

To one who has never been in the
coal region the word breaker conveys
no idea of the real structure. 1t is
from 100 to $50 feet high and covers
an area larger than the average city
block Its size, black color. peculiar
shape and adjoining hill of refuse call
ed the culm pile. all make it an object
to challenge attention. 1t is built of
both wood and iron and contains count
less windows. To the top of the mann
moth structure the coal is taken fresh
from the mine in carloads and dumped
into the crushers. which swallow tons
mt n time. Leaving the crushers, the
coal passes by gradual stages down
between rollers where the various
sizes drop through into chutes arrang-
ed for them and into the care of the
boys whose duty it is to pick out pieces
of slate. SO that the coal reaches the
cars waiting below free and clear from
all alloy. These lads sit in the coal
bins all day. About 200 boys are EN-
ployed to a breaker.
While the existence of hard coal has
been traced back to 176S. the earliest
record of its Use as fuel is in 1871,
although it did not become an industry
until 1S2u. the first shipment being
made by rail in 1912 from Pennsylya-
