BEIDLEMAN WINS
|DOCkAGECASEFOR
UPPEREND MINERS
Verdicts For Pay For Three
Docked by Susquehanna
Coal Company

Senator e. E. Beidleman won his
suit in the Dauphin county court in
behalf of three miners against the
Susquehanna Coal Company which
it was. charged illegally withheld
pay from the miners for coal mined
at the Williamstown Colliery. The
case was brought under the mine
dockage act and has been watched
by miners all over the state with
keen interest as it involves radical
differences between the miners and
the companies as to nay.
The miners. Harvey kinsey and
James C. Miller and Edward Miller
are awarded verdicts in the sum of
more than $500, representing money
deducted from their pay under a
system of dockage used by the COM
pany in violation of the provisions
of the dockage law, which provides
that pay for coal be reckoned at
the mouth of the mine. instead of
more or less distant breaker.
The company admitted the dock
age claimed but held that the court
did not have jurisdiction in view
of a contract entered into between
the companies and the mine union
in 1903 by the provisions of which
disputes of the kind were to be set
tied by appeal to the Board of Medi-
alton. Testimony in court showed
that where miners tickets of credit
were lost from cars on the way from
the mine to the breaker the COM
pany took the coal and the miners
got nothing. The company also held
that the miners having signed re-
ceipts paid in full were there
fore not entitled to contest their own
signatures, but Senator Beidleman
drew attention to the fact that print
ed on the top of the receipt was a
clause to the effect that miners
might settle disputed amounts after
pay day" The company admitted
also that it had refused to keep
| tally at the mine mouth as required
! by the dockage act.
The constitutionality of the law
was not questioned but the court re-
served for decision at a later date
the question of jurisdiction and of
the application of the provisions of
the act. to the Susquehanna COM
pany. The verdicts rendered to-day
were s139 for Kinsey and S159.60
for the others.
When the dockage act was before
the Legislature, Senator Beidleman
as it's sponsor, expressed confidence
in it's constitutionality and offered
to defend it should it ever. be ques-
toned. He was called into the case
| by the miners of the upper end of
the county and after the close of the
case was warmly congratulated by a
delegation from the union of that
district. The Senator cut short his
campaign for Lieutenant Governor
| by three days in order to argue the
case before the Dauphn county
courts. He said to-day that he is
prepared to carry the suit to the
Supreme. court, if necessary. and is
confident that the position of the
miners will be sustained
