tober. The per diem employees will
not have their wages Increased, but
will be recommended for the sante
pat for it day of nine hours.
The system of pay 1011 bo regulat-
ed. Wherever practical, the opera-
tors +will be required to pay by
weight, (instead of by the ear, and
elgewhere by the lineal yard. The
miners have check docking represen-
tatives at their own expense. This
will preetleally- amount to a second
