"A few days later the scale com

removing ell stone.
Several operators in guo-d istTict
1t was learned today are paying IN
an indirect way for the removal Of
thin stones. In several mines It
said miners are allowed an extra
shift OF eight hours for handling
thin stone. Mines claim that n q
few operators can afford to compen'
sale their men for this class Of la

controversy should not be adjust

out the district. However the sub.
district officials and the scale com.

Of the men at this time. and while
