however. for the sullen attitude of the
| followers Of the Western Federation
of Miners indicates an attitude of des-
peratiOn which was somewhat intensi-
fled by a yitriolic address delivered
last night by Petriella, who advocated
the use Of guns to maintain what he
said was their right to sell their labor
where they could at the best advan-
tage.
In his address he gave the governor
twenty four hours in which to grant
the men Justice" At the end of which
time he advised the men Ito be ready
to strike the head off any man who
tries to crush you"
Whether at the end of twenty -four
hours anything will come of this is
awaited with anxiety, and the Off
cials are all prepared. All of the
special guards who have been i'm Du-
luth during the past few days We're
rushed to the range to augment Sher-
III Bates force Of deputies
The Steel corporation officials are
carrying out the wishes of Governor
johnson in the manner in which they
Iare resuming operations. They are
opening the mines one at a time, and
gradually resuming work with as
many men as they can get to go to
work. All the old men will be given
an opportunity to return to work
without discrimination and with the
guaranty of being protected by the
forces at the sheriff's command.
Reports received here indicate that
mining operations were resumed
heavily I'm both Hibbing and Eveleth.
Babes Used 10 Ward or Bullets.
Working men employed at the
Fayal mine today carried babies In
their arms when on their way TO
work. The infants were kept at the
mines all day by the men as a source
Of protection against any possible vio-
lence. II was apparently their belief
thsrr thr strikers or any one elst
would not attempt to do any harm
while the children were In the dan
ger zone.
Although hundreds of men are go-
ing to work daily. they cannot be
persuaded that the police protection
is adequate. They seem possessed of
a feeling of impending disaster, and
this feeling has to a great extent been
caught by the public. The city Is ap-
parently on the verge of the worst
trouble of the strike. If rumor is to
be believed.
