Mir. Mildrum told of an amusing ex perience with one old-timer with whom he talked. The man was asked about the coal situation. He replied as briefly as possible to the question asked and then started to talk about railroads.
 The only signs of strike in the coal localities are the workmen walking around or sitting around do- ing nothing, said the well-known East Berlinite. There is a four supply of coal on hand and the general public regards it as vacation for the miners.
 MT. Mildrum said that the miners are genial fellows and housing con- ditions in that region are fair. Most of the miners have comfortable homes. Some of the men earn from $175 to $250 a month, accord ing to information secured by Mr. Mildrum, and they can afford to live well. Others are not so fortunate, being forced to exist on low wages.
 This strike is the first In years which has not been picketed and the outcome appears to be a question, said MT. Mildrum. So far there has been no violence, but the miners will want to return to work at some fu- ture time, in all probability, and then there will be danger of out breaks.
 The older men, as a rule, are against the strike, said MT. Mildrum, while the younger fellows are heart fly in favor of 1t.
 One woman who conducted a res taurant in that district said to Mir. Mildrum, Its nice weather now, but when it gets cold they'll be glad to get back to work"
