ire was snch an organization in their
midst the company shut down the mines,
and thus it stands at present-the lnen
will not allow foreign labor, imported, to
work the mines. and the company will not
employ X. of L. men. MI. Connors, OF
Underline, was delegated by the men to
20 East and see what could be done, and
in company with w. H. Bailey, as q men,
Der Of the Executive Committee Of the
Knights of Labor, called upon Mr.. Bullitt,
manager OF the mines, to see if any AMIGA
Bile arrangement could be arrived at, but
he would not treat with them on any
terms; told them that No. 3 mine would
be shut down October 1, and that the en-
gpeers and tiremen had sent in q petition
to them to not use any more Timberline
coal, as it was not good. The Knights
then offered to lease the mine and buildings
and other property connected with the
works and pay q fair per cent on the
money invested, but he would not have
anything to do with them. From reports
lbave heard here there are some doubts
concerning the title to these coal lands. and
it is the intention of the X. of L. to con.
tst this matter inch by inch and force it
to an issue in their favor if it is within the
scope Of human possibility. When any
thing Of this kind takes a legal form, the
red tape of law gives the corporation the
bret Of it, for it will be a long, tedious
struggle, and the length Of time will, l lear,
be too great to admit of the Knights con-
tuuing. They now have some 200 men at
Underline. These draw from the orsani-
atiOn 81 per day, and that alone is a
heavy drain. On the other hand, it is be-
ing heavy expense on the company, and
they say that they have all the coal in
Washington Territory that they want Tor
