Il
Ellensburg, Wash, April 4.-The
independent mines at Jonesville, in
the Roslyn coal mining district, re-
sumed work this morning, but the
men formerly employed by the North
western Improvement Company are
still out, and are firm in their de-
mands for a closed shop.
Upon hearing late last night that
the workers in che independent
mines we're to resume work today
several hundred strikers marched
from Roslyn to Jonesville for the
purpose of dissuading the miners
from their intention of returning to
work, but were unsuccessful.
A few of the strikers became
boisterous, but show of force on
the part of the deputies at the mines
was sufficient to overawe them.
Conditions are quiet today.
