All the local leaders of the United

They say the presence Of the soldiers

up their mines, and If the collieries in

early resumption of mining.
Those of the local operators who
could be seen are of the opinion that
the backbone of the strike is now
broken and that it will only he a short
time until there will be a general re-
sumption of mining. National Board
Member John l'alon. who arrived at

that the affair at Shenandoah. untor-

strikers were orderly and would con

the case the operators could have little

return to work.
