To tie MINING JOURNAL
The miners in Clarified region have
all gone to work at so cents per ton, and
no checkweighman. 5. ). b.
One of the local papers says
According to the eternal fitness of
things pertaining to coal matters, the late
strike is the last one that will ever be in
augurated in the Clearfield region. The
operators having shown their ability to
crush one strike so well planned, well
managed, and well backed, no sensible
miner will venture into another. With
the opening of new mines in this vicinity,
most of the old miners who still remain,
may yet be able to obtain employment.
There is no need, now of any more emf
grants coming to this place to work, and
it is presumed that those on the way will
be stopped We have no strikers now,
and no room for new miners
