 whicT have been idle since July l, on account of failing to agree on 2 con tract with the union miners. Notices
 were posted at several mnes na as O wha thare would be work Wednesday, there l to be no discrimination as to union and non-union men.
 The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail- road Company In the Blue Creek re- zion. posted notices offering to pay a minimum of 37 1-2 cents per ton for mining with the pig iron basis at ss per ton. the miners demanding 70 cents l per ton minimum on an iron average price of $S per ton as basis. The company offers 50 cents maximum on SIS iron and the miners scale has been
 50 cents mining with iron at 3l1.50 per ton.
 The Sloss-Shefield Steel and Iron Company at its Brazil and New Found mines. in the western part of the
 minimum % oe on s 3 iron rsS with % 5S i.s cents ! maximum for mining on SIS iron. The old scale was 47 1-2 cents mining min l imum on $S iron and 57 1-2 cents min- ing maximum on $11.50 iron.
 The Lacey-Buck Iron Company, Tut. | wiler and Republic companies are said | to have posted notices or notified their old men that there would be work to- morrow
 President Ed Flynn. Of the district organization of the United Mine Work CTS, when seen today, said:
 The companies offer means reduc- , tion of cents per ton on mining, in- asmuch as the schedule shows re- duction of 1-2 cents on its face while advancing the iron basis reduces the mining wage. The men are going to
 remain firm and loyal to the organiza- ic a tv, n 0 | that the mines are going to start and the actual starting of the works. l don't believe there will be much of a | resumption of work tomorrow at mines where the strike is on, if any," President Flynn and the two inter- preters brought here from Pennsylva- mia, both national organizers of the United Mine Workers. went out to Brookside, in the western part of the county, today to advise with the em- ployes of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company and admonish them to remain firm and loyal to the union. It is understood that a number of deputy sheriffs will be sent out into the county to protect property. It is believed that the intentions of the cor porations are to make the effort to start up their mines with such mem bers of the union as are tired of the strike and idleness and want to get hands this way other labor will be inn ported. It is stated that there is al- ready considerable labor in the district ready to take up the work. There is considerable anxiety as to what to- mOrrO wwill bring about.
