Here and there mines were opened but for the most part, diggings were shut down. The Frick Coal company which operates dozens of mines in Fayette county, heart of the area which has been strike-bound for two weeks,* postponed the reopening of ten mines until tomorrow at the re- quest of Governor Pinchot. The executive said he feared trouble, if resumption: was attempted today. Strik- ers who say they want more time ‘to study terms of the agreement had a_ picket army- in. the field; but.most picket lines dwindled, after no resumption was _ at- tempted. Minérs say they will have several thousand pickets on the lines, if the Frick com- pany tries to reopen work- ings tomorrow. A battalion of national guardsmen was sent into the area last week by the gover- nor and state police preparing. for any tuality. . Renewed outbreaks of dis- order, which last week re- sulted in the death of one man and wounding of more than a score, are feared.
