Auntrlan ambassador at Washington, j Baron Hengenmueller, to start an in vestigation with the object of freeing the men still at the mine and of ob-j turning redress for their wrongs. j , Aftr huving been hired the men were j takon to the little town of Oeorgel, on ' the Baltimore & Ohlorailroad, whence ' they drove 20 miles across country. The nfxt morning each man received sever- ' al sticks of dynamite and some petrol- j um. "These are your tools," they j were told. "They will cost you $40. j and we will take it out iu Installments In your pay." j The men worked 11 hours the first . day. At night they received 50 cents Instead of $2.50 and they protested. J But they were told to be careful of; their money as they were expected toj pay part of the cost of their materials j out of it at the end of the week.
