The strike in the Coalfield is by no
means settled as yet. The operators
have employed quite a number of non

1 idle men who are union men, and do
not have any desire TO return until
scales are put in, to weigh their coal.

was before the strike We shall give
the exact causes of this strike in few
weeks from now, If it is the request of
