SITUATION IN FREELAND.

The strike order is the only subject
that is receiving attention In Free
land and vicinity. The action of the
convention is approved by the mine
workers generally and they are enter
ing upon the struggle with determine
tion either to win or to continue the
contest until all hope of success must be
abandoned.
In business circles there is a gloomy
feeling, this being particularly true of
the grocery and provision dealers. Few
OF these merchants are In position to
give extended credit to all their patrons.
AS far as can be learned no definite
plans have been formed yet by business
men, although many orders for goods
have been cancelled during the past
eighteen hours.
Some of the foreign-born residents of
town say they will return to Europe If
the strike shows no signs of being settled
this month, but no general movement in

Many of the young men are getting
ready to seek employment in other in
dustries and several of these will leave
Freeland next week. Many d. S. & S.
Railroad employees will also leave the
coal fields until the labor troubles are
settled
