Special correspondence

sconeld. Utah, Nov. 26,--Thanksgiv-
ing day opened here this morning with
all quiet at the various coal camps in
this vicinity. The arrest OF Demoll
yesterday seemed to have had the de-
sired effect upon the strikers. The
camp was as quiet as a Sunday school
last night II is anticipated, however
that there viii be some excitement as
soon as the new order posted by the
company goes into effect,
just as it was getting dusk last eyen-
ing a number Of employees Of the Utah
Fuel company appeared on the streets
of Scofeld and within a few minutes
they tackled upon the telegraph poles
and other prominent places copies OF
the following order signed by Thomas
j. Parmley. mine superintendent, and
approved by +. NJ, Cameron, general
Superintendent. The notice read as
follows.
IAN employees of the Pleasant Valley
Coal company that do not report for
work at the regular time tomorrow
morning will be discharged and will
call at the company's office and get
their time. They will also vacate the
company's property at ONCE
WHERE THE TROUBLE COMES.
II is the enforcement of this order
by the state militia II necessary, that
Will cause the trouble. In addition Il
is rumored that the company will bring
in number Of foreign miners to M
the places made vacant by the strikers.
When these men commence to arrive
It is anticipated that the presence OF
the national guard viii be appreciated.
Already men are coming In, Last night
the advance guard arrived unheralded
In the person Of five husky Films, who
had been shipped from Illinois.
Another feature OF the order liz that
there are men especially Mt Winter
Quarters mine who have put up their
own houses on company ground Some
OF these have gone on strike. They
must vacate the company property II
they want their homes the inference
is that they must take their cottages
along with them This phase OF the
situation II Is thought may lead to COM
plicatlons,
Mine Workers viii send Il lepl repre-
sentative to Sconeld to look after the
interests Of the organized miners
Last evening just at nightfal
special train arrived from Salt Lake
bearing Manager Edison OF the Denver
& Rio Grande, General Supt. j. n.
Young OF the Rio Grande Western and
Vice President Kramer of the Utah
Fuel company. After looking over the
situation here and comforting with
Doc Shores, who Is I'm charge Of the
armed guards and Brig Gen. John @.
Cannon OF the Utah National Guard
the train proceeded to Clear Creek with
"a detachment Of the national guard,
The National Guard has now settled
down to active guard duty The camp
here has been pitched, but most OF the
men are sticking to the cars that are
on the siding, IL is bitterly cold here
as soon as the sun drops behind the
mountains and the men are feeling the
change from their comfortable homes
In Salt Lake and elsewhere, Not
word OF complaint Is heard, however.
All are well and are munchlng their
haTd tack rations complacontly. In
dicative OF the cold the creek that runs
through the town Is practically frozen
over with ice that viii bear the weight
OF grown man.
