Quiet Reigns in the Valley.
The calling out or the entile mllltaiv
foice of the state did not cause a sen

nothing lo do be.wmd going out for their

towns A tiemendous Intel est Is mani
fested In what effect the piesence of
the entlie division of the National
Cillaid will lune on the stilke Theie Is
a wide diffeienoo of opinion as to tho
piobable elfect. Coal companies wel
come the soldleis and say th.it pios
pects aie blight foi the lesumptlon o

In a mattei-of-faet way, and In line
with pie comment of their national and
distilct leadeis sa the piesente of the
soldleis will lune no effet t on the
stiike. Citizens outside of the ioiUio
eisy ait nlo dhlded In theli opinion.
Then- Is one noticeable thing, and that
is the stilkeis show a lliniei stand than
they did befoie (ioveinot Stone acted
last night National Boaid Member
John Fallon, who was the highest in
authoilty at strike headqu u tcis today,
said the men will lein.iln as the aie
fnm to the end. Ml. Fallon claims that
le--s coil has been pioduced In this
lVgion since the soldleis have been lieie
than .it am time piloi to their anhal.
lie Is of the opinion that all the men
who want lo woik undet piesent con

that coal company officials hue e

"that all men who deslie to woik, and

then Hie companies will be able to

t'ontiaiy to expectations, no tioops
