article on the miners strike, deploring the
outlook and holding Mr.. Scott responsible
for the present situation. II says that Mr..
Devlin, who owns one-seventh Of the
capital stock Of the company, offered to
take the mines and run them and pay the
company Is cents a ton clear of expenses.
This was refused by Mr.. Scott, president
of the company. This is not consistent
with Mr., SCOTS claim that he cannot run
the mines at q profit and pay the rates de-
manded by the men. At Braidwood q
settlement is about to be made at S74
cents a ton. and the Union Coal
company at Lasalle, which is operating
the same vein as the Spring Valley COM
pany. makes q standing offer Of S3A cents.
The Sentinel adds that the town site
company, which is practically the coal
company, has sold lots and induced capt.
tai to come here by representing that this
was the largest coal-mininR plant IN the
country. Should Mr.. Scott carry out his
threat and close the mines for six months
or more, the paper says many of these
people will be bankrupted. The article
adds:
Nv. L. Scott may close his mines nov,
but il the governor of this state and the
legislature do their duties as lawmakers
and executives should, this state Of affairs
will be regulated and the rights Of inno-
cent parties protected"

a single friend and a servant that the
man who had described so many
deaths breathed his last breath.
