"scab the collieries. Five engineers, a boss
loader. and two top men were discharged at
West Shenandoah mine. two engineers ut Shen-
andoah City, two each at Turkey Run and
Kohinor. while others are on tho list.

opinion that the companies will give the
men q small advance. but that they will treat
with the men US employees and not as knights
Of Labor. The failure. Of tho Reading strike
has discouraged the Knights Of Labor here,
and II ts apparent that the order has lost It's
grip In this valley. Its efforts at enforcing the
demand recently made Is painfully weak. The
