SYSTEM IN COPPER MINES.
MacNcughtOn Gives Companies Side
al Strike.

Houghton, Mich, March flames
MacNoughton, general manager Of
the Calumet and Hecla Mining com
pany, today told the congressional
investigating committee that the de-
crease in the percentage OF copper in
the ore now being mined in this dis
trict and the extreme depth at which
il is extracted required that every
facility for reducing the cost of pro-
duction be employed.
MacNoughton was on the stand fer
three hours as first witness for che
mining companies and when the
hearing was adjourned for the day
counsel announced that his examina-
tion had hardly begun.
The contract system of pay was ex-
planned by the witness in detail. For
merly, he said, the miners had been
paid by the linear foot and the cubic
fathom Of rock removed, but because
or numerous complaints over meas
urements the Calumet and Hecla had
adopted the tonnage system, where
irregularity of the slopes made agree
ment on measurements less difficult.
In response to questions as to test
mony OF striker who said if he
made big pay on one contract he was
cut down ON the next, MacNoughton
said:
Ihere are $50 or 500 mine bosses.
Some of them might be arbitrary or
dlctatorial or not square with thu
mon. The company does not countc-
nance such treatment"
