Fairbank. superin- tendent of the western division to ar range for the presentation of the above notices to the men who have walked out here and to plan for the general resumption of freight tfaffic through the employment of others if that should become necessary.
 Nash said yesterday that the
 men have returned to work on all
 divisions of the E. p. & S. w., ex-
 cept at Bisbee and Douglas. "The
 yard men have seen fit to quit
 work" said Nash. "The company
 has been fair to the men who
 have left their work, and if these
 men at Bisbee and Douglas, the
 only places at present where
 there is any delay on tiIe. road,
 do not go back, their places will ~ be filled with others. These men
 will not be recognized by any
 tranmen's organization if they
 stay out longer, and they will be
 expelled from their lodges"
 Ore trains were being made up yes telday at the local yards by volun- teers brought in from the eastern di- vision. Ore trains will be moving to the smelters on regular schedule be- pected that normal freight traffic will be resumed immediately.

He said that all engineers and firemen (with the exception of one local team) are on their engines and ready for service when called on. Jones said he eX- pected Fred Barr, vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Engineers, to arriSe in Doug las SHOIlIy anu IldC He NOuiU COhle- with him there when he comes.

 Changes in the strike situation have tended to relieve any local ap- prehension as to the outcome. The mining companies believe that the change for the better will enable them to continue operations on normal scale without laying off any men
