MINIMUM WAGE IN MINES.
THE SUBSTANCE OF THE MEN'S DEMANDS.
ABNORMAL WORKING PLACES.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY MARCH 25th, 1912.
A mining correspandent has contributed the following article to The Times in which be states briefly the miners' demands:-
That whenever a miner is working in an abnormal working place, which may be considered as a working place where he has to contend with bad roofs, floors, dirty. partings in the seam, hard-set coal, fast- working ends, working close to faults, faulty ground, thinning of the coal seams, exceptional timbering to contend with, and the like, then the miner is to be paid wage of so much per day, say, between 73, and 88. (depending on the county), whether he sends out of the mine-(1) no epal at all; or (2), say half a ton or one ton; (3) or anything in tons that comes below the minimum wage of 7s, or 8s. a day. Suppose, for example, that contract prico is 1s. 8d. per ton for every ton of ebal mined and sent over the weighbridge in the surface; in such a case, in order that the miner may receive a minimum of 8. a day, at present he is bound by contract to send out of the mine a little over 6 tons of coal, whorens if the minimum wage is granted, and he only sends out, say, four tons of coal, then the owners will have to make up his wages from 68. 9d. to Bs, resulting in a dead losa of 2s 4d. to the owner for every in dividual miner affected.

The minimum wage would be a constant quantity, or fixed sum, depending on the county and irrespective of the tonnage of coal the miner sends out of the mine. In other words, constant price is to be fixed for a commodity which is to fluctuate in quantity, taking it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the owner to regulate

THE DIFFICULTIES OF DEFINITION.
One of the most important points in- volved in the question as to what consti- tutes a difficult miner's working place. Another is the question, who is to decide hat ecnstitutes the miner's difficulties? These two items alone, the writer von tures to state from experience, will make the coal industry no bed of roses for all those connected with mining, simply be cause it is practically impossible to exer- cise personal supervision over the men's working places. Extra efficials appointed by the owners on their behalf, and by the miners ca theirs, will have to decide up to a certain point as to the difficulties, but

granted it is quite evident that some men will be constantly malingering, whilat others put forth their best efforts. The winers will generally take more time in going to and from their working places from the pit bottoms, with the result that the outpus will drop.

All owners, I am convinced. desire to ameliorate the condition of the miners and concede them a fair daye wage for a fair day's work, which can only be secured by mutual agreement as in the past. Only by such means can strikes and friction be avoided.
It is quite obvious that when a miner has done a day's work on honest lines he is entitled to a fair day's wage, and the owners through their management allow. for a miner to have this; but the great difficulty arises on the question whether a man has put forth his hotforting place or not. There are some miners who work as hard and as honestly as possible, whereas others do not put forth their best efforts when they know that the wage will be made up to a certain minimum.

The question of a miner's working place, as to whether it is a difficult one or not, is full of complexities, and the difficulties or conditions of the working face vary from day to day and week to wook. some cases the man allows bis working place to be so worked as to become a diffi- enlt one, and this will happen more often if the miner is granted the demand for a minimum wage.
