Ttfcir Jobs.

Duluth, Aug 23-Three hundred
strikebreakers reached Virginia ON a
special train from New York. They
were met at the station by the strik-
ers and escorted to the union hall,
where they all decided to throw up
their jobs. They said they had tax.
en- tickets on the understanding that
there was no strike on.
About an equal number OF men were
smuggled into Hibbing and Eveleth at
the same time, but the company got
them out to the mines before the strik-
ers' pickets had a chance to talk with
them
The whole question of the iron mine
strike Is nov whether the company
will be able 10 secure a sufficient num-
ber of men TO operate the mines. The
strikers say 1t will be impossible to
do SO. but the compaly contends that
it will be easily accomplished. Some
Of the men brought in by the COM
pany go to work readily enough, but
there are many deserters In the ranks
