purpose of bringing back the mules,
Superintendent Hnyes said nt first,
with a smile, that tho pasturage wasn't
good, but followed It with the declar
ation in serious tones that the purpose
of bringing back the mules, ns was evi
dent, was to start up tho colliery.
"We will start up the colliery," said
Mr. Hayes, "just ns soon as wo can got
things In shape. Wc have fifty-five men
underground and twenty men around
tho breaker cleaning up nnd making
repairs. The mules will bo used In the
i, work of cleaning up the roads. When
this work Is finished, the rest of the
mules will be brought back nnd tho
mining of coal commenced.
ASKED FOR WORK.
"Tho employes of tho company have
come around from time to time In ones,
twos nnd somewhat larger groups, ask
ing for work. As many ns could be
used were put at work cleaning up the
roads and making repairs. Those who
could not bo given Immediate employ
ment were told they would be sent for
when needed. The company has sent
word to these men that the colliery will
bo started up if they will go to work,
and enough of them have replied that
they will resume their places to war
rant the company in reopening the
mine."
Many of the men who have signified
their intention to return to work are
fathers of boys who worked in the
breaker. These boys will be brought to
work by their fathers. The company
employed 300 hands, exclusive of
breaker boys. More than a majority
are expected to return to work.
The superintendents of the other
companies continue to claim that there
are no active efforts being made on
their part to start up a few collieries,
but Investigation proves that these
claims aro not wholly in accord with
tho facts. Men who have applied for
reinstatement In home companies havo
been told that If they come around with
others who are willing to work, a col
liery will bo opened up for them. These
men havo gone out and secured the
names of others who arc ready to go
back to work, and these lists of names
are in the possession of the .superin
tendents. Those who want work at once are
sent Into the different collieries clean
ing up roads, timbering, working on
rock and the like. Gradually their
numbers are growing, and In the course
of a week or so it Is confidently ex
pected will have enough men on hand
to warrant the experiment of resuming
mining operations. With tho men at
present at work and those who have
declared their willingness to go back
to work, when a mine would be started,
the company will have nt least the
nucleus of an operating force. When
ono mine starts, the companies expect
others will follow suit.
LS PROBLEMATIC.
Whether or not the contemplated ac
tion of the Indianapolis convention will
havo -a deterring effect on these plans
of the companies Is now a foremost
question. A million dollars a month in
subscriptions would give each striker
about $' a week benefits. It Is pro
posed to raise two millions a month.
With this latter figure the miners could
be nt least supplied with actual neces
sities, and It Is quite possible they could
be induced to remain out for many
months under these circumstances.
Taking into consideration tho fact that
there Is more than one striker In many
families; that many miners have left
the region nnd that many more have
secured tempoiary employment, It can
be seen that even a million dollars a
month will go n great ways towards
comfortably supporting every mining
family In the region.
Tho benefit fund will, at all events,
prolong tho strike.
