At the meeting were Mayor Schmiiz,

request. and accompanied ii with an
other message asking for prompt re-
ply. The question of martial law was
also considered. Food distribution
was turned over to the commissary
department in charge of Major bravo.
The food committee reported that
all necessary provisions were on hand
and obtainable. They said that they

The general belief among the min
ors here is that 10 more can be ex-

have already offered, and that it would
be needlessly dragging ont the su5-
pension to make any further attempt
to hold meetings with the operators.

provisions were given out TO 672 per
sons an hour for 10 hours This sta
ton is neither one OF the largest nor
one of the smallest. and so its reports
were used as basis to strike an ay'
