Winona will probably, through the
results of the strike, be able to pro-
duce 10 fun capacity. For over two
years the management has struggled
10 get fun quota of men. This goal
was difficult to reach as when the
big mines hear the larger towns are
short II labor the men will not go to
the remote properties. Now the con-
ditiuus are just the reverse. The big
mines in the good locations are filled
and the men have to take such places
as are open. I'm addition TO the forty
eight men brought in from Chicago
yhrce weeks ago many new men have
been coming of their own accord, and
quite number of strikers who feared
90 return 20 the mines where they
formerly worked have been taken ON

rolls 25j employees, within 100 Of the
number required for production

been the opinion that this mine, on
account Of lbs low grade could be only
conclusively tested by running at the
rate OF l2ug tons daily for "a period !
Of al least six months. with the call !

is great advantage as the companys
