ORoUree, OF Pompey Smith, was elected
chairman. TheIe were some fifteen or TWEEN
ty speakers, the burden OF whose remarks
was n CHER wages, more work and correct
adjustment OF weight. On vote being
taken, the miners of eight mines voted 10
strike for siXty-hve cents insteat OF the
present rate OF fifty cents per ton FOR lining
