this locality heard on all sides it would not be well
for mob of any kind to assemble with the idea OIL
violating the law again by attempting to interfere
with the rights of others.

full complement of men aud no trouble is antici-
pated. The at work. many of whom have been
in the employ of the company for a number OF
years are satisfied and willing to work. They arc
paid by the day at wages that were fixed when the
miners were receiving cents per bushel at the
other mines, aud the wages are entirely satisiac-
tory. While thc wages OF other miners nave peeh
reduced from 80 to 30 per cent the pay OF the men
employed here has not been reduced at all The at
tempt TO stop these mines was merely an eiiort 10
