Show LOCAL END OF THE STRIKE. Edler Sides With the Men Guards Expected Home Soon. In speaking of conditions In Carbon county, A. B. Edler said last night: "The new men that the company has hired to take the places of the strikers are quitting every day, and the small output of the mines is continually lessening. The management of the company Is getting worried. About sixty-five of the men working at Castle Gate quit Wednesday, and the company com-pany Is experiencing all manner of difficulties dif-ficulties In getting others to take their places. The company has six men in the city at the present time trying- to hire miners. The union men here aro working in harmony with the striking coal miners, and they find It next to impossible im-possible to get new men. "The fact that miners are scarce all over the United States only aggravates the trouble. There are at the present time 20,000 miners wanted in the mines of the country at large. The strikers on the other hand are still holding their own In every respect. None of -them have left the country for good. Some have come to the city, but only to visit, and are ready waiting to go back to the mines when the strike is won. The situation looks more favorable for the strikers at present than at any previous previ-ous time." The latest news received by Gov. Wells from the coal fields was a telegram tele-gram from Gen. Cannon, which was delivered de-livered yesterday afternoon. The General Gen-eral reports everything quiet and peaceful, and Gov. Wells says that tho ! mllltla will be called back right away 1 that Is, In a very few days. |
