Pittsburg, Pa. April 3.-The ex-
pected general resumption of work at
the mines in this district where the
scale was signed. did not take place.
Reports were slow in coming in and
those received indicated. that the men
were not in a hurry to return to work.
But few plants were reported in full
operation, others were running with
reduced forces and many were idle.
The holiday is said by the operators
to be largely responsible for the small
forces at work. The men, they say,
are always slow to return to the mines
following these celebrations and it
usually takes a week or more before
normal conditions prevail. All the in
dependent plants were shut down and
no effort was made to operate them
