LIFE IN A COAL BREAKER
Dark Picture Drawn of Gwpioymfn}
to Which Young Boys Are
Bound.

Practically every boy graduate*
from school to the coal breaker be tor*

ten or eleven years. The coal break-

ture. at the top of which the coal U
broken Into the required si/.o for use
and then sent In a continuous stream
down chutes which empty Into wait-
ing coal cars or pockets. Tha boys
•re employed to pick out of the mov-
ing ritreaai the pieces of slate as they
appear—straddling the chutes, or sit-
ting on small wooden projections at
the side. Thu atmosphere In the
breaker Is so thick and dark with fly-
ing real dust that an attempt to take
n photograph of a couplu of boys at
noon, near a window, resulted In one
indistinguishable black surface; tha
noise Is so greai that I could not dis-
tinguish the words of my guide even
V'liun lie put his mouth close to my
ear and shouted; the movement and
shaking of the whole structure are at
times ho violent that In hoium break-
ers | have Iwen obliged to hold
t'ghtly to a hand rati fur safety. Tha
boys grow so crumped from long sit-
ting In one position (hut aometlmaa
they seize (he opportunity to ohass
nne another around the slippery metal
platforms. And there was not on*
