This afternoon Superintendent Adam Boyd. of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company's coll:eries. went about town and
posted up notices that all of the company
mines will resume in the morning, and Affirming
protection TO all of the employees who VIII re

Boyd on the street caused a ripple OF excite

sidewalks rushed to the posts to read the con

afternoon for Lost Creek for the purpose OF
organizing the mine workers in that section
and to have them join the big body Of mine
workers now out strike.
