Title: Cost of Hiring Translators Date: November 11, 1910
Source: Minnesota Historical Society Description: This is a
document that was filed in an effort to get repayment for miners
who had to hire translators. - The money for the interpreters
was taken from the wages of the workers at the rates listed on
the chart. How could a $5 reduction in wages affect a worker? -
What does the investigator suggest when he writes that the money
was deducted "ostensibly to pay interpreters"? - Why would an
interpreter be necessary for the mine workers? - Some of the
workers listed on this chart were charged for interpreters more
than once. Why would this be?
