THE young miners in the coal min
L ing industry play a decisive role
in the production Of that commodity.
Machinery DlspIacing Miners.
AS a result of the present stage of
the coal mining industry many miners
tread the streets in the large indus
trial sections endeavoring to get an
occupation to replace their former
one. Along with the adult miner, the
young miner is even more migratory
and much hardship is encountered. 1t
IS these hardships that forces the
young miners to take different out
ook of life from that of older miners,
The young miner, an unskilled
worker in other Industries, is highly
exploited in these industries. Natu-
rally great dissatisfaction prevails
among them. Considering the wages
of the workers in the coal mining in
dustry and those in other industries,
the young miner gets more pay for
the time that he labors.
The unemployment crisis in the coal
mining industry is the biggest prob
lem affecting the lives of the young
miner at the present time. The over
development of the industry during
prosperous times brought many more
manual laborers into the industry than
was really necessary during times of
stability. The replacement of coal
power by other commodities has
played a very important part in the
unemployment crisis.
Most Dangerous Work.
The main occupation of the young
miner in the industry is to transport
the coal to and from the mine. Dis
tinguished as trip-rider and motorman,
an occupation that brings about more
fatalities than any other occupation
in the pits. The last report Of the
state concerning the accidents in the
mines shows that the young miner
was the one to receive the worst eff
feet in proportion to other jobs exc
cuted by the miner. The narrow pas
sages that the motorman and trip
riders pass thru, the negligence OF the
operators to keep roadways clear wire
with deadly voltage, lack of safety
devices, and many other things that
are minor things to the operators but
dreaded obstacles to the young miner
are reasons for more injuries and
death than any other things.
Trip-riders are continuously forced
to couple the moving trips, block
them, uncouple, and all this has to
be done in a twinkle of the eye-only
the youngster can tackle this job eff
ficiently. II takes nerve, courage and
speed, and one slip causes the young
miner to go to his death or be dis
abled for life.
The motorman has tough going also.
The rough Jerking of his motor causes
in due time bad health. stomach and
kidney troubles, and all the organs in
the back are practically paralyzed at
the strain that he receives from con-
tinuous working.
Low Wages.
The trapper boys, greasers ana
couplers are Disseminated against. II
an adult takes his place for one day
he receives twice as much as the
young miner that does the same work.
These conditions of the young miners
show that there are the utmost ne
cessity for specific demands Of the
young miners.
Summing up, II looks as II there
will have TO be some kind Of action
on the part of the young miners and
the miners as a whole. The demolish.

and east, the weakness of union tao.

brickyards from outside.
1t refuses to recognize the miners
union because it fears that then it
would be pressed to accept the clay
workers organization. Union miners
who have gone into its brick plants
have urged nonunion workers that
they all should organize in these fac
tories.
The Trust.
At Woodland, HARRISON Walker is
trying welfare measures to try to keep
its workers quiet. A big turf ball
field has been given the employees, to-
gether with large outdoor swimming
pool. New company houses have been
built on the main road on the hill
side-for foremen and straw bosses
Most Of the workers still have to live
down in the hollow in the old houses

SISTER OF LATE POPE
 DIES ALMOST A PAUpER
Had Devoted Her Entire Lifetime To self-Sacriicc and
 Religion

Rome, March 30 P,--A lifetime of self-sacriflce and devotion to re- ligion has ended with the death of Anna Sarto, youngest sister of the late Pope Plus X, after two months illness and difficult operation.
 Anna, scventy-six was spinster, She died almost in poverty in the tiny apartment facing St. Peters square in which she had lived for many years with Maria Sarto, now the only surviving sister Of Plus x.
 Cardinal Merry De Val, who was papal secretary Of state under Plus x, was the first of q number of pre- lates to pay his respects.
 From the days when Plus x was a simple chaplain at Tombolo, Anna kept house for him. following him through the various steps of his ca- reer until he became Pope. when she was torn between joy over his su- preme honor and suffering at her separation from him.
 During her brothers pontificate and after his death, she continued to live in retirement, devoting herself 10 making clothes for poor children and orphans Condolences were ex- pressed to the surviving sister today by both the Pope and the Italian government.

Philadelphia, March so CP - Third degree" inquisitions of per- sons suspected of crime were de- nounccd in q report submitted yes- ;erday by the crime survey com- mittee, appointed four years ago by the board of judges of the common pleas courts.
 Citing the confession of 1 year old William Cavalier, of Pottsville said to have been obtained by police late at night after a long grilling and as a, result of which he was sen tenccd to life imprisonment for mur- der, the committee recommended that similar confessions be prohibit ed in favor of examinations super vised by high judicial officials.

 Emphasis in the report was laid on the need of thorough revision of the criminal code and the simplitiCation of indictments.
