IN THE LAND OF THE GREAT STRIKE| Dangerons Vooation Plied by Miners ‘Who Ask & Better Wage and Are Denfed ¥y the Operators. Just mow in the anthracite coal regions every man has a clean face. In ordinary times the first thing which strikes a vis- ftor to the mining villages is the dirt. The men on their way home from work have faces and hands Ilike dusty ebony, says the Congregationalist. The children are still grimy, but that is because they are still ploking coal from the great oulm dumps, The houses are still dingy, for elght weeks of rain cannot wash off the in which the wind has for years borne from the dumps, or the reek that was vom- ited from the air shaft of the mine. The Streets are still littered with rubbish and the gutters are choked with flith. In fact, there are some coal-mining villages whers the great strike is mow on that deserve to be ciassed as slums. This condition of affairs exists In & re- glon by nature as beautiful as any In the world. The mountalns of Pennsylvania afe rugged. They were once covered with noble trees and splendid laurels, while the streams wore friaged with rhododendrons or eilvery birches. In the older mining dlstrictd every vestige of t forest has disappeared. The shrubs and even the are dead and the surface is furrowed by floods or fallen into gaping holes Ly reason of the sinkages in the mines below. In some of these hamlets not even a shade tree 18 to be found-nothing but the bare rock or barfen earth. Vietims of the Mines. Another fact likely to be vividly im- pressed upon the visitor s the number of crippled persons on the streets. Coal mining is & dangerous business. Last year mofe than 500 men were killed and over 1,200 fafured In the hard cosl mines of Penneylvania. The expetation of lite of the man who enters the mines eon years. But it Is not only by premature blasts or by explosions of inflammable gas or by the falling of the roof {n the chambers or throug| o mischance in the operation of the dangerous machinery that death comes, but the very lite of the miltier un- derground and the breathing of the air surcharged with gas or particles of coal dust means shortened lives. A pecullar form of comsumption, known as miners’ asthma, kills almost as many viotims as the dangerous machinery or the gas, and no count {s made of these deaths by the State Bureau of Mining in fts columns of statfsties. The average boy who emters the mines at 15—and many enter long before that age—has i 6d his useful life at 80, In ffteen yeou after he has entered the breaker or the mine he 1s elther dead or &n invalid. Physioal injury 18 not the only one from ‘which the nilners suf dents which deprive the family of fta head and breadwinner often compel the boys of the family to enter the coal breakers at a ‘|vers early ags. Hence, illiteracy prévails to an appalling degres. The law forbids the employment of boys in the breakers un- dor 12 years of age, but heglects to bring the breakers under the jurisdiction of the factory {nspector, ue that the'law is practi- cally a dead letter. It would be hard to day how mich of the lawlessnees Which accom- panies a strike in the mining reglous is due to the ighorance or viclousness of those whose education Has been interrypted if not rendered impossible by thelr being forced into the demoralizing school of the breaker long before they had 1eached the legal age of 13 years. g Laborers Mostly Foreign. Another fact which & stranger would notice ls that the men of & mining villag are mostly forelgners. Almost all the un skilled labor is performed by Itallans, Poles or. Hungaria: Even the skilled labor of done for the most part by Great Britain and the #os of these forelgh- born immigrants, The petty bosses about the mines are mostly Huglish, Welsh or Irish, or their sons who have grown up in this country. Although thousands of far- mers’ boys of pure American stock have flocked into the anthracite distriets, few or none are to be fovnd working underground. As the sons of tho forelgn-born miners be- come better educated, they rise in the soclal scale and leave the mines, often working for far lower wages than their fathiers earn. ‘When the strike was declers® » soncerted effort was made to gatac Inve ihe sohools the thousands of breaker boys who were idle. But by the irony of fate, at the very time when they might have been taught, it was dscovered that the school funds of. the state Had all been spent nd the schools Wwere closed nearly & month earlier than usual. There is & subdued sllence now through- out the whole region. This fs the month when the mines are usually running st their best in order to provide the stock of coal which prudent householders buy tu of” Tdleness | Summer for their winter use. But now the stridor of the conveyors has e and the grim, black with uncompassionate hostitty upon the olustexsd bamlets at thelr bases. Not only are the breakers idle, but they are boarded up and fenoed In as well with high barricades, surmounted by barbed | wire. Behind these barriers the coal com.- | pantes have gatbered their clerks and cer- tain of the company hands, who are awern 18 a8 members of the coal and irot police force, according to the laws of for the protection of the compan: der military ipline. At the headquar. ters of esoch coal company they are lodged in barracks, fed at a common mess and put through regular drills. It is a state of war which, fortunately, has not reached an acute stage. The atrikers bave so far bebaved with moderation, except in some instances where a few hot-headed individ- uals have precipitated slight difculties. It should also be said that (he compa- nles b dlessly provoked trouble 1 They have not for- bidden the picking of coal from the dumps, wh hundreds of the women and children, 11 s the men, have swarmed dally. ‘While hard coal can be bought at the sea- board and elsewhere at an advanced price, in the anthracite codl regions from the day when the strike was declared the com- pafiles prohitiisd the sale of ccal at any price. The result is that coal, more or less weather-beaten and coverad with iron dust, 15 belng peddied by men and boys trom door t4 door.

The pecullar smel) and the base that goes with ft are not un- common in many places in the east where they have not been noticed befors. In the anthracite regions they have been abeo- lutely unknown for a gemeration. Not #ince the great suspematon, the long, continued strike of 1878 is oalled, there been bituminous con! durned in this distriot. The strikers ask for the redress of cere tain grievances, for a day of eight hours instead of ten, as at present, and for the recognition of the labor union. Wages on the basis of an eight-hour day would be equivalent to an imcrease of 20 per cent on the present wages. In regard to the question of wages, widely different esti- mates have been the figures they give per month; but the Pennsylvania bureau of mines and mining gives ofMolal statistics that show an aversge Wage of less than $25 per month the year round. This cludes all sorts of lahor about the mines, whéther performed by men or boys. Position of the Oporators. The position of the coal operators may be briefly summed up as follows: They declare that they camnot afford to increase wages at the present price of coal. Bupe- cially do they insist that they cannot allow the men to dictate through the labor union bow of when or with what sort of labor or 8t what wages they shall run thelr mines. They refuse to recognize the union and they refuse to arbitrate through the Clvic fadavation Tha onerators rely ¢n the needs of the men to bring the & o to an end. Outwardly there are as yet few signs of pinching poverty, Many of the forelgners have returned to Italy or Hungary, especlally the unmarried men who have crowded the boarding houses, Of those who remain some have found work at low wages as day laborers, while others have gone into the farming districts to help in the harvest flélds. . The strikers mako every effort’ to keep their own men #nd all honunion men from going to work. The —— NOT IN HER HI-. —_— Solation of the Problem Why & Girl Can’t Spin & Top. Did you ever see a girl spin & top? Did you ever see her carefully and closely wind a string aroutid the cone and then, with & quick throw and jerk, give it the necessary Fotary motion to send it whirling right side up? You uever did, and probably you never will, says the Ohicago Record-Herald, be- ¢ause the ready possibility of doing such a thing does fiot lie in a womtan's anatomy, A girl can twirl a fope and jump ome encughi timeés to weary her watching brother, but a top in her hande is a useless thing, and the “rother only laughs at her effouts to #pia ft, If she makes them, as he laughs s¢ a1 her efforts {n the direction of throwing.

When & boy throws a‘ball he bends his elbow, reachés back with his fore- arm and uses every joint from shoulder to wrist. His arm is refaxed. A girl throws Wwith & rigid arm, because her collar bone fe larger and sits lawer than s boy's.
