The companies will mot admit that the agreement to refrain from an attempt at operating 1s eventually to resolve itself into a lockout should events at Hazleton make such a thing possible. The strike has already made itself serl- ously felt in other lines of work.

Intelligent Miners O that no attempt would we Strike. The sentiment among the more thought ful and intelligent miners is opposed to a continuance of the strike.
