roads endeavoring to learn whether
pumpmen, firemen and engineers
would report for work At least g5
per cent. of the three classes of work
men went on strike for the eight
hour workday. When firemen
ceased work their positions were
filled by company hands, principally
substitute bosses. Rather than take
the places of strikers n number of
sub-bosses resigned. Strike leaders
say they are highly gratified over
the situation. Officials Of coal com

persuade men now at work to quit in

No policemen are guarding any Of
the collieries and strikers remaiy
away from the mines.

5ernor. and Mr.. Bloomburg has just re-
turned from Woodstock where he has
