"When the force of outsiders is

While the mine owners' association

members of the American federation of
lsboi. are at various smeil camps

the members of the western federation,

*t&tiC Inman and Under Sheriff Knight
have- arranged to co-operate. Knight's

Constable Inman has sworn In about

other conditions imposed for re-em
ployment. For that reason Thursday
was fixed as the date for resuming
oi^rations.
