settlement have been made by either

from the beginning that 1t would not

The men have f-srmed no strike orgaui-

claring the strike.
The sense Of the body Of miners at
frst was equally divided as to wheth-
er or not o strike should be made.
Prominent members Of the local union
arfued both sides of the question, and
after considerable debating the strike
was almost unanimously declared. This
means that the entire coal mining ele-
ment of Fremont county Is to quit
work until the trouble of the northern
and southern miners IL adjusted.

Sannyside and Castle Gate. The men
submitted demands to the Pleasant
Valley Coal Company, which the execu-

slider. BY close vote the men refused
to wait and decided to strike at once,
leaving the mines as they are. There
Is considerable excitement already and
serious trouble is feared.
Coal Is scarce already In Utah and
Idaho, and a continued strike may
cause a serious famine.
