controversy or disagreement between the district inspector of mines,

inspector of mines may call upon the chief inspector of mines for

of mines shall examine the record kept by the mine foreman, of boys
under sixteen years of age employed in each mine, and report to the
chief inspector of mines, the number of such person employed in and
