these entries the rooms are started

course of the main entry. The rooms
are about LIZ feet wide at the start
and are driven in this manner for

remove it without resorting to the

Yardage.
Yardage is one Of the principle
features of all mining scales, and as
such the miner realizes that care
should be exercised in the settlement
of all disputes where yardage enters.
The driving of entries. opening of
rooms and the driving of break
throughs or air courses, the removing
of extra heavy rock from the roof,
raising the rolling bottoms, and the
removal of clay pocket or seam, are
a few of the many settlements that
are regulated by the yardage system,

Brock Rolls" are used to such an ex
tent in the daily press in connection
with the settlement Of ocal miners
strike that the long suffering public
is more or less confused.
To begin with, a great amount OF
the work done by the miner is not
covered by the district or internation-
al scale, and some of the work done
by them the settlement is regulated
by local conditions, while in other
cases much work is done with no COM
pensation. Dead Work means many
things, such as track laying, setting
of props. removing first layer of rock
in order that safe roof may be al
ways overhead, moving all rock back
13 feet, bailing wet rooms, with other
odd jobs that present themselves in
the course of days work. Some Of
this work is paid for and some is not.
Limestone.
Ordinarily there is from one to
three feet of limestone oyer all coal:
this when exposed to the air becomes
rotten and weak, and must be remov-
ed at once. If over one foot, he is
paid so much an inch for taking it
down land when down he must move
it back 10 feet from the face Of the
room in order that the machine that
cuts the coal can be operated with
freedom.
Trouble.
Other dead work that annoys the
average miner is listed as trouble"
and is pocket or streak of clay that
appears in the cleanest coal. When
q miner finds he has run into trouble,
be notifies the Mine Bos, who orders
the miner to go right through this
streak separating it from the coal as
best he can and report when the
streak or pocket Of clay is ended. The
distance it travelled through the clean
coal is then measured and in addition
to the tonnage, the miner is paid by
the yard. This seam or vein on the
Ohio side is known as number 8, and
the dirtiest seam of coal
In Ohio, the miner meeting more

han in any other. Clay pockets run
from 2 to 12 feet as a rule. ~
Laying Track.
Laying track is another job that is

As the room advances he must carry
his track to the face of the room in
order that his cars will be the more

 The new buildings in the Pary are not jerry built, although they have the appearance of mere shacks.

ENGLISH SHIP OWNERS
 MAKING b|G PROFITS

LONDON, May 6-Several large English ship owners are piling up profits at the rate of s5OO.OO0 or over a month, and one firm at least Is re- ported to have averaged practically million dollars a month since the beginning of the war.
 It is, of course, only those who have had their ships free who have been able to make money. Some owners had their vessels tied up by charters at normal figures and others had their ships taken by the Government. Then all the shipowners have had to bear increased expenditures for wages, fuel. insurance and delays in port.
 The people who are really making the money, according to a London ship ping journal, are the Greek shipown- CTS. "For the last few years" 1t ex- plains, the Greeks have been steadi. ly buying ships. and they now have a very considerable merchant marine. They can take full advantage of the high rates, and do not have to face the risks British shippers do, nor apy tho extra wages"

An interesting sidelight of the re- cent Willard-Johnson heavyweight bout at Havana, Cuba, was the appear ance of Felix Carvajol, the Cuban long distance runner at the ringslde. Carvajols reputation as a runner in the United States is based upon his feat in finishing fourth in the olmpic Marathon held in St. Louis in 1904 Although defeated by Thomas Hicks, Alfred Corey, and A. L. Newton all under American colors, the upan ran wonderful race when his handicaps are considered and had the honor of being the first of the foreign entrants to finish.
 Previous to the race Caravajol was mail carrier in Cuba, who logged over his route at a steady and ap- paiSiitIy tiitieSS liOt. IIe uISt dt- tracted attention when he ran the length of the island in remarxable time. As a result of this feat few friends raised enough money to send him to the United States for the Mara thon in connection with the Olympic Games of 1904. Caryajol landed in New York with just enough money to purchase his meals not realizing that St. Louis was not part of New York City.
 In order to reach the scene of the race he was obliged to spend his food fund and arrived in St. Louis without penny. He had not eaten for two days previous to the race which he ran in heavy street shoes, colorless cotton shirt and his only pair of trous- CTS, cut off at the kness.
 Without assistance or an attendant the unknown Cuban dog-trotted along the course stopping frequently to beg
The Cordova daily times., 1915-05-05

food and water from the spectators. At one point he spent fully half an hour on a roadside apple orchard Despite these delays Carvajol finished in fourth place, the freshest Of all the runners. It was the general opinion that had he been properly attended and coached he would have won the 1904 Olympic marathon easily.
 Today Carvojol is guide and runner for Havana's leading hotel still trim and bronzed he can trot mile af- ter mile with little apparent effort but admits that he Is too old to run in the next international marathon. He ex- presses regret in a casual way that he was not prepared financially ana other wise for his St. Louis race, which he still believes he could have won in easy fashion. Carvajol Is conyersant with athletics in both the United Etates and Europe and will spend an evening discussing in broken English the performances of the stars of the cinder track. One chapter of his ath- letic career is sealed, however. for Carvajol will not tell how he managed to return to Cuba. He simply snrugs his shoulders and changes the subject when questioned on this point of his invasion of the United States.
