KNoxvnLH. Nov. 6-One who might have
visited Coal Greek yesterday or toiled up the
six miles Of mountain climb to Briceville
would have found the miners and mountain
eers louneing about 40 though II were holi-
day. In fact, little work was doing In the
mines. as everybody was waiting to find
out what the companies proposed to do about
the demands made upon them for better and
morel legal treatment AtCoal Creek the miners
looked hopeful. but at Briceville the men stood
about silently. while the women denounced
the State and the convicts and the owners
Of mines in shrill voices. and with much twist
ing OF their mouths. Late In the afternoon .
miner toiled up the steep and wild valley from
Coal Creek to tell about the surprising way in
which the owners Of mines In and around Coal
Creek had agreed to the demands Of their en-
ployees.
Briceville was glad to hear this. glad to know
that their friends down the valley were to
have work and fair play But Brioeville had
too much doubt IS to the way the Tennessee
Coal and Mining Company proposed to act
to be loudly enthusiastic. So her miners
ohewed tobacco gloomily and the women re-
sumed their outpouring Of wrath. Late In the
evening" Just before dark. bit Of news came
which set them in turmoil. made the happy
faces ct Coal Creek sad and wrathful. made
the doubtful faces at Briceville lower with rage
mingled with that look OF satisfaction which
comes at the fulhlment OF o prophecy OF any
kind.
Briceville had prophesied the worst and the
worst had come This news. which the opera
tor at Coal Creek had spelled from the wire.
was that the Governor proposed to send the
convicts back at once and under q sufil-
Client guard. When the operator announced
It to group Of miners there was an outburst
