C. Practically all the coal mines In eastern British Columbia and Alberta are closed. It was rumored Friday morning that President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America had instructed Dlatrict President Sherman to ask the men to resume work, but Sherman denied thia. Then 8. S. Lindsay, manager of the Crows Nest Coal com pany, gave out a copy of a dispatch he had received from Mitchell, who said definitely that he had ordered Sherman to get the men back to work. The men have quit work, but lot definitely gone on a strike, so that they may not be prosecuted under a new dominion government Jaw.- Sherman and Patterson, his assistant, both state that the men are pressing them to issue a strike order, no doubt on account of the ambiguous position they occupy, thus quitting work without any definite arrangements. There la much doubt about the action of quitting work without calling it a strike, secretly ordered, and all falling into line, being a strategic move to evade violation of the clause of the act Sherman says 'he will not pay trike allowances because he can get around that by paying a working allowance. It looks as though the operators had broken the law In posting notices of a reduction pending tbe dispute. The Canadian Pacific railway at Ferule has only 190 tons of coal on hand, and that brought In from Frank, which worked Thursday.
