Neither side can claim a victory at this
time, because the struggle on this phase
of the anthracite coal miners’ strike has

are not so sanguine of the future. The
exact number of men who quit cannot
be obtained. Each side refuses to make
public their figures, but gave out in
formation that roughly estimates the
number of men affected. These estimates
are far apart
