CIRCULATION BOOKS OPEN TU ALL ADVERTISERS Creekside, Ernest, Clymer, Fulton Run Operations Are Awaiting Developments. EXPECT TO WORK SOON The Ernest, Creekside and Fulton Run mines of the Jeffer son and Clearfield Coal and Iron Co., are closed, this is due to the men who failed to return to work on Monday.

How ever, it is true that ali day men were laid off, according to some who are connected with the company, for the reason that they were not needed, and that as business is slack now, there has been no effort made to oper ate them. It is said that men are dissat isfied, and are undecided wheth er to return to work until a new scale has been made. The Clymer branch of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica voted to reject last year's scale, which expired Aprii 1, and the mines of the Clearfield Bi tuminous Coal Corporation at that place have been closed since Aprii 1.
