All of the coal mines of any i'm

result of the orders of the u. NJ. W.

Every mine in this county is closed
today and no effort is being made to

oboyed to the letter and not mine is
using a pick. 1t was also stated that
1,000 non-union men joined the
union yesterday in the Trinidad dis
trict. Many are leaving for other
fields. What the outcome will be can
not be surmised.
The @. F. and l. people still main

in the Trinidad district, but they
were much surprised when all the
miners laid down their fools and quit.
They expected four-fi fifths of the men
to remain at work
All of the northern fields are also
out. 1t was thought Friday that a

the trouble h iDged on the S.hour
