The coal company officials and othe,s

The coal company officials and otheIH
who hold the same views as the oper
| nt1rs think the governor has done the
proncr thing and express the hope that
| the great struggle will soon come to All
end. Ihcy predict that with protcc-
{ ton for the men who want to work
| there Will be no trouble in getting II
sufficient number of men to produce
enough Goa! to relieve the situation so
! f>r as the threatened fuel famine is
| concerned.
The talk among the strikers as re-
suit of the governors action is even
| more firm for holding out than it has
| been at any time since the suspension
! was innuguratod. The leaders say they
look upon the struggle now as a gen
eral one of capital against labor and
| maintain that with the help of Or
ganiZed labor the country over they
! can stay away from the mines until
the operators are compelled through
public opinion to yield a point.
While the miners generally condemn
the calling of the troops. they say
they feel that in the end it will be
help to them. They recognize the fact
that great pressure was brought to
bear Oh Governor Stone to send his
entire military force into the coaltields,
and now that he has done it the ques-
| ton of coal or no coal this winter, they
argue is "up to the mine owners"
The presidents of the coal carrying
railroads told President Roosevelt last
Friday that with military protection
they can satisfy the public demand for
coal. The unionsts feel confident the
operators cannot make good their prom
Use without conceding something to the
men.
President Mitchells remark to the
correspondent that the military power
of the United States could not make
the men 20 to work if they did not
want to is repeated by every leader or
miner spoken to. They pointed to the
statement made by different authori-
ties that since the troops came into the
Wyoming region the coal production
has not increased and that very few
additional men have returned to work.
None of the additional troops or
dered out has arrived here, and no one
seems to know when they will come or
where they will be placed. 1t is said
that the headquarters of one OF the
three brigades will be established here.
