ciiic coal mines q Roslyu. says:
I'VE hope still to ashitrats the matter Of
wages. I bel,sys . majority Of the miners
are willing to accept the 20 pr can't cut
asked for By the company, and u - ny
opinion that those Who 0pposed the cut
were the ones Who attended . recent meet
ing and voted against accepting the ~
duQion."
N. Kangiey was asksd squassly Il the
company would ever put the miners q
work q the old Wages. He said:
NO: W can't do that"
"Wiii you bring in nsw minsEs. tAsn, q
the reduction h not accepted Z"
He sstli psssisesd that the matter would
b fixed mp, and that no usw miners
wound Be needed. He was asked the gem
esal outlook for the coal business and the
causes leading up to the great coal strikes
throughout the country. He said:
Speaking for the Coast, the coal busi-
ness 0Des not look pfopiti0us. The house
voted 70 remove the tAri6 Of - cents per
ton from coal. The senate recommsnds -
cents per ton protection. but even that is
not enough. and II there b 70 b NO tari6

In this state bring here about 5000 Per
