BY KENNETH w. PAYNE

BERGH0LTZ, o., Jan. 26-Two miles
Underground. in a grill room with walls,
floor and pillars OF black diamonds, the
coal miners have been enjoying their
lunch hour cabaret
1t is one event in the weird under
ground life OF the southern Ohio coal
field workers whose whole. existence Is
bounded by endless masses Of the fuel
which is being dOled out to the rest
OF their countrymen on half ratlons.
Crouched on sputtering electric
train beside seven kegs Of powder l
was whizzed far into the heart of the
XII mine here, bent on discovering a
little real coal in It's native lair. Down
by ENTRY 49," doubled up under the
four-foot-high roof, The miners were
at lunch. Tht narrow, twisting tunnels
Of the mine We're half Illuminated in
a whostly way by the flares Of the car
bide lamps on their caps. In their
midst were several shovels, the blades
electrified by a wire attached TO the
exposed trolley cable which runs along
the left-hand Wall of the mine. And
squealing and dancing themselves fran
tically to death on the shovel blades
were several rats, lurCd there by
crumbs of cheese.
There are mines down here in which
you can walk for ten hours through
seven-foot-high passages tunneled out
in solid coal But this one is a shall
low mine, the coal vein about three
feet high. The miners have to work
with picks, shovels and machine cut
l ha low
roof. They work on their knees, stom-
achs or backs, handling heavy masses
Of coal In positions which to the in
experienced visitor become incredibly
painful after only few moments in
the mine.
Notice our men aren't bow legged"
said the mine boss. "They work on
their knees. Pretty near 30 per cent.
Of the men in the higher mines are
bow legged as a result Of standing in
cramped positions TO work with their
! picks"
From the main haulage way, far
! in the mine, entries open left and
right into large rooms from which the
coal is being taken. Along the floor a
machine cuts five feet into the coal q
slice aUtne 20 feet wide. Then up close
to the roof several holes are bored
and filled with powder. Often when
the miners "shoot" the charge. their
wives working in the kitchens directly
above the mine feel the shock Tel
egraphlng the wife," the miners call
It.
The coal comes crashing down, and
loader piles 1t onto the little car
which has been run into the shallow
room. The loaded car is hauled out,
hItched UP to a train Of similar cars
from other rooms, and goes whirlng
out through endless tunnels to the sur
face. Six miles an hour is the speed
maximum, but in these narrow black
tunnels II seems at least 60.
Each car carries a little brass tag,
with the number Of the miner who
