the production of contract workers, is
explained in a recent bulletin OF the
Department Of Commerce. An agree
ment among the miners whereby each
man works until he has earned GER
tain sum. and then quits Ar the day
is in effect This is known as the
"darg' system.
The individual worker cuts down
his earning power, since the limit II
usually within the productive powers
of the average miner. Miners work
ing on wages do not adopt this sys-
tenn. but keep working continuously
until their shift is completed. At one
colliery where the normal average or
earnings was twenty-three shiilings,
the men agreed. under the system. TO
reduce il to twelve shillings- Another
coIliery has a limit of fourteen shill-
ings.
Mine owners declare the reason for
this movement is got to insure wider
employment. but TO deplete coal
stocks so that when strike is immi-
nent the public will be caught at
disadvantage. and will press owners
