two hours later that her son detected

after turning on the light, as the two

that she was suffOcated in her sleep.

Union officials generally claimed
today that hhc coal strike was 400

showed no decrease from the num-
ber OF men out Saturday, the first
day of the strike. The operators
had counted on n large number re-
turning today believing many who
failed 10 report Saturday were OBJ

than striking. Most OF the opera
tors. however. refused 10 make any
estimate today for the number OF
strikers in their respective districts.
A sharp alignment appeared TO be
drawn between union and non-uni0n
miners and indications were that
despite union officials claims prac-
tically all non-union men were at
work. On this basis the number OF
strikers would he close 10 100000.
