counterfeiters for some time has been

selves are among the convicts in the in

in the affair is an unusually smooth
criminal named johnson, who is doing
seven years for bigamy, having been

men above mentioned refuse to impli-
cate anyone else in the affair, and so
the officials are at a loss to know just
how far the plan has gone. When the

just gotten things into shape and had
not manufactured money to any great

chutes. superintendent Tonkin could
not promise these demands.
At the adjournment of Sundays con
ference it looked as though the com
pany would not concede more than 81. Is
per day to single mule drivers and the
officials claimed that allowance for the
laying of sheet iron was made in the
price paid per car of coal.
The committee then decided to call a
mass meeting. This was done, and it
was unanimously agreed to adhere o
their former resolution and demand pay
for the chuteS, otherwise the strike was
to continue. A committee was at once
appointed, who called on Mr. Tonkin
and reported the mems decision. After
vigorous argument Mr.. Tonkin con-
ceded 25 cents per length of sheet iron
for the construction of chutes and 81. %
per day for single mule drivers.
AT 4 o'clock Superintendent Tonkin
and the committee met and attached
their signatures to the completed sched-
ule and the stubbornly contested battle
between capital and labor was at an
end.
The following statement shows the
scale in force previous to the strike and
the scale as settled upon on Monday:
