MOST OF MINERS
Immigration Report Shows That
But Little Soft Coal is Pro
duced by Americans.
WASHINGTON. June 16.—Ameri
cana take buOAlttle part In . mining
bituminous coal In Oils country, ac
cording to a report submitted to the
senate by the immigration commis
sion to-day. Detailed information ob
tained from SO,000 employes in bitu
minous mines, which represent 25 per
cent, of such workmen in the coun
try. was submitted.
The percentage of foreigners in the
mines is a shade less than 62; native
born of foreign father 0; native born
whttea of native lather 21, and native
born negroes nearly S per cent. Three
fouths of the foreign born are from
southern and eastern Kuropt They
have gradually dr!\en out of the
Pennsylvania mines the immigrants
from northern and western Kurope.
The force of unskilled workmen l»
constantly changing, and is being re
plenished almost wholly from the
newer immigrant tide. Of the 5 4.00U
foreign-born employes, representing
4 1 race*, the commission found that
3S per cent, had been in the coun
try Jess than fi\e years and 67 per
cent, less thsn 10 years.
"Only 20 per cent, of the immi
grant workmen," says the report, "had
been engaged in mining before coming
to the l nlted States The fact that
such a giset majority of mine em
ployes had hHd no experience in min
ing .is suggested as a probable cause
of many serious accidents."
small Wages.
Seventy per • ent. of th< 80,000
miners were found to be earning 12
or over a day. but owing to irregular
ity of employment the monthly or
yearly wage was relatively much
lower. In 2..771 families the average
income was 13 7.60 a month. The
hours of labor is unionised localities
was given as eight per day and non
union sections nine or ten hours a
day. During the year covered by the
investigation only 16.x per cent, of
the men worked full time.
"Many companies." says the report,
"ha%e some form of medical or hos
pital system, usually supported by an
assessment an the workmen, hut be
yond this little welfare work is done.
Company stores flourish in the same
old way. WTiere the store* are pro
hibited by law they are organized sep
arately from the mining company out
na'c the »wm<^ stockholders. ,
The . "mmiwu'.rf reports that it
found 80 per cent, of the foreign
workers able to read and write, the
Swede- bring most literate; 17 per
vent of the foreigners had made one
or mre trips abroad. 61 per cent, were
able to speak Knglish and few of the
families studied. 20 per cent, owned
their homes.

WILL NOT RECEIVE
Recession of 30 Square Miles to
.District of Columbia im
probable.
(Special to The Richmond Virginian i
WASHINGTON, D i'., .lune 16.
Desplte the recommendation of the
District of Columbia commissioners,
there is no prospect of legislation at
this session for the recession of thirty
square miles of land In Alexandria
county to the District. The President
is also In favor of the reding back to
the capital large tracts of land lying
between the District of Columbia and
Alexandria; th» original intention be
ing to Include Alexandria itself. The
proposition submitted to Congress by
the i ommlssioners to-day. however,
contemplates the retrocession of but
7,300 acres, just across the Potomac,
and including Arlington. but not in
cluding Alexandria proper.
The District committee, to which
th< commissioners' bill was referred,
probably will not take up the niat
tei at this time, it held no meeting
to-dav. Its scheduled meeting day, and
inasmuch as the session will close
next week, committee members saj
the matter cannot be reaehed. In ad
dition the project is opposed by the
entire Virginia delegation, who will
make a hard fight to prevent the re
troeession of any lard whatever from
Virginia Those who favor the plan
are by no means sanguine that it can
ever pass Congress, and one of the
main arguments against the bill will
tv that it will benefit real estate hold
ers rather than the public at large.
Want Commission Appointed.
The District Commissioners have
asked the appointment of a commis
sion of six- member® to frame the legis
lation desired. JTheir communication
says "What would so essentially bene
fit the city of Washington would
benefit the portions <>f Virginia lying
near Washington. Considerable por
tions of land lying across the Poto
mac. and especially the Palisades,
would be parked In parting with so
small an area the state of Virginia
could at the same time benefit herself
and benefit the Nation."
Ammpanylng the commissioners let
ter is a draft of a Joint resolution cov
ering the recommendations made. The
commissioners specifically state that
they do not favor the acquisition of
more than 7.300 acres of land in Alex
andria, lying near the Potomac and
comprising the 1.035 acres of the Ar
lington reservation, which is already
under fed'-ral control Th» amount of
land receded to Virginia In 1X46 was
1 a.t'.oo acres.
Consequently the commissioners
want less than half <>f it hark.
