This comrade was also called: the future of

Repairing"

This class of work requires great care and skill
on the part of the workman, broken timber hav-
ing to be taken out and replaced by fresh tim
Der. If water is pouring out of the roof as is
often the case the difficulties and danger become
greater. In a colliery where l was employed
some time ago stone, fifteen feet long, ten feet
broad, and several inches thick, fell from the
roof of the main haulage road, killed one work
man and injured another two.
l was called upon, along with other workmen,
to render assistance to the injured and to extri-
cate from the fallen debris the body of our dead
comrade, whom we ultimately found with his
head crushed down between his legs! The stone
had to be broken over the body of the dead man
and partly over the body of one Of his injured
comrades, in order to have the injured man re-
leased.
This a terrible experience to the injured
man and to his comrades performing the rescue
work. Such is the fate of many repairers,
The wage for repair work is generally 9s. per
shift.

and sometimes three men required to push
the loaded tub from the coal face L have wit
messed three men drawing loaded tub in the
following manner-two pushing behind, and one
in front pulling with piece of thick hemp rope
or chain. Where the road is low the drawer
has to place himself in a most uncomfortable po-
sition by keeping his body as far away from the
roof as possible. This means that he is in an
almost horizontal position, and has to be very
careful that he does not relax himself in any
way. If he did the tub may run back on top OF
him and so cause severe injury This is how
many young men are placed on the injured list.
If he attempts to raise his body, the roof may
claim piece of skin from his back. This have
experienced many times.
In another section, where I was quite recently,
one of the roads was only two feet nine inches
high The height of the tub was thirtytwo
inches, leaving a space of one inch between the
top of the tub and roof. 1 have seen parts of
roads in other sections where the empty tub rub
bed along the roof In addition to this the
drawer has often to splash his way thru pools
of water, and thereby has to work all day with
his feet wet He has many other difficulties to
contend with.

physical exhaustion is the result at the end of his

In rise working he has sometimes to erect tenn

the newer. Should a piece of coal break away
suddenly while he is working, there is little or
no chance of escape from death or serious injury.
Examples of this class of work are to be seen in
Douglas Castle COlliery, Lanarkshire, which was
on strike before the lockout and had been so for
eleven months in resistance to ton-rate reduc-
lions, etc.
The height of coal in many collieries is from
sixteen inches upwards 1 ask your readers to
imagine a human being having to work under
meath a height of sixteen, eighteen, or twenty
inches, with water on the pavement, or dripping
pouring on you from the roof Such is the
case in several colleries.
Oppression.
The tentacles of capitalism are far-reaching in
the mining world. If miner has suffered at any
time from that "blinding disease" known as
miners nystagmus, he finds it very difficult to
get employment particularly in a safety-lamp col
liery. He is given a form to sign "Declaring
whether or not he has at any time suffered from
nystagmus" If yes, there is little chance of
him being employed again as a miner even tho
he may have partially or wholly recovered from
the disease. | have seen the form being signed,
and am satisfied that the future of such indivd-
uals is most appalling.

five shifts for the pay ending March 80, took home
to his wife and children the sum of e IFS. I'd,
and was told by his employer that if he was not
pleased he could leave the job! On the same rates
another miner earned Ell 5s Sd. for four shifts.
The foregoing are only few of the great many
obstacles which miners have to face in order to
secure few crumbs from the rich mans table
with which to feed their hungry children.

REORGANIZATION
 OF BALL CLUBS
 SPEAKING PLACE
PRACTICE OF USING PLAYERS FROM OTHER TEAMS WILL
 BE ABOLISHED.

Nile Park Giants held a meeting yesterday and decided to abolish the practicing of borrowing players from other teams to fill vacancies in their nine made men absent on account of injuries or those indisposed to play. or whatever else may happen to be on their chest for the night of play.
 Prof. Barnett, acting captin ot the Bankers was notified the team they were to play last night, that theS would play the Bankers with the eX- act number of their own men that could find it possible to appear at the gym by game time: An arrange ment to which Barnett and the Ban- kers were agreeable, tho they con- sidered it unjust to the number of men whom they would have to lay off in order to get down to the num- Der represented by the Nile Park.
 The majority of players of the four tams who were present, having known for several weeks that just such a condition was bound to arise sooner or later, urged that something be done within the league that would eliminate the unpopular practice of borrowing.
 It being plainly seen at this stage that four nine men teams cannot be gathered in the city, suggestions were made whereby the available players, some 27 to 30 would be divided into four units and the num- Der of players constituting team be therefore fixed at about seven. This method, however, might not be as favorable, as it would necessitate the entire disorganizing of the league and four new teams being built up.
 A second and more practiced idea offered, was to reduce the league to three teams instead of four, giving each unit the full quota of nine men each. The reduction could be made without affecting the present stand ings of the teams in the league, by assigning the eight members of the Bankers team to the Merchants and Nile Parks, which oranizations are in dire need of players and have been constantly forced to borrow.
 A board of arbitra tors consist ing of Irwin R. Dyer, Prof. Barnett, Burr Snyder and W. R. Shellhorn, will meet tonight and effect the am- algamation or reorganization.

NINE MEN FROM
 MOOSE PASS IN
 TOWN TOMORROW
BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROAD WORK RAPIDLY NEARING CLOSE;
 END OF MONTH.

All grading on the Moose Pass road project will come to close to- day, according to c. w. Keil, resi- dent engineer for the Bureau of Pub lie Roads, who was brief business visitor in Seward over the woke end One gang of five men is working on the Pass Creek bridge and, all work will undoubtedly come to a conc1u- sion the latter part of this month. Two bridges are yet to be complet- ed, one at Frenchy Creek, a ITO foot span, and the trestle over Donaldson Creek, about 40 feet. MT. Keil stat ed the bridges would probably be opened up for traffic in the spring.
 There are actually but fourteen men now engaged on the project and nine of these will be discharged to- morrow Wednesday, and come into Seward, the remainder staying on the job Practically all snow had van- ished from the ground, prior to his arrival in town last Saturday but it was believed the local snow fall ex- tended to the Moose Pass district. At the time of MT. Keil's departure the road in one section was bare for a distance of five or six miles. Trucks and cars were able to run over the road for about fourten miles. Excep- tional good weather has assisted the work materially, MT. Keil added.
 With reference to next summers work it is quite probable another project will be opened up, either the sunrise to Hope road of nine miles, or from Mile 29 to the Moose Pass road, a like distance of nine miles. Regular maintenance will keep a good number of men employed.
 MT. Keil returned to Moose Pass yesterday morning.
