of the miners 1t is largely because OF
the optimistic tone Of these reports
that the government believes a big
force of miners will be ready for work

president had gone to sleep after hi1
arduous day and it WAS not deemed

templated that all questions Of allo-
eating coal would be left to Director
General Hines for settlement. The
