When The Tribune bulletin was post
ed in the window of it's branch office
at jenkins drug store last evening an
nouncing the approaching strike, the
news spread like wild-fire and hundreds
of persons were attracted to the corner
of Main avenue and Jackson street to
learn the news.
The first bulletin posted shortly af-
ter o'clock, made the announcement
that the strike had been ordered to
take effect at once, but a later bulletin
stated that the order would become eff
fective next Monday. The declaration
of strike caused a futter of excite
ment and men and women were jour
neying to and fro eager for the news.
Mine bosses, politicians, mine work.
ers, business men and others were in
the crowd discussing the probable out
come of strike, and while the excite
ment was at it's height the second bull
letin was posted, conveying the news
that a few days more would be al
lowed for reflection on the part of the
operators.
The latter announcement was greet
ed with much satisfaction by business
men and mine employees. The men can
clean up their chambers, use up their
surplus powder and otherwise prepare
for the strike.
