IN the negative.
The close of the fifteenth week of the
strike shows that the operators have
made some gains in the Wyoming region.
The OUTPUT, of coal has been larger than
at any time since the strike began. This
sdue to the fact that more washeries
have been in operation the past week
than at any previous time since May

and from what can be earned the miners
show little inclination to return to work.
