i Sir- ft THH STRIKE SITUATIOIH IN WEST VIRGINIA. 11.1 rt!.a Tmimttm Vr C.rnt nf the Force it Work in the Pocahontas Field No Intimidation. i. h Telegraph to the Mornina star. Roanoke, Va., June 11. The fol lowing statement regarding the situa tion in the Pocahontas coal fields was furnished the Associated Press at noor. to day by the general offices of the Nor folk and Western railway: Our adTicea are to the effect that there are quite as many men at work in tbe mines this morning as on yes terday, which indicated that the force at work is at least 20 per cent, of the full number. Everything is quiet throughout the district. Only a few men are now about the fields who are actually on strike. A number of the men are still there who are not partici pating in the strike and large numbers have left the field during the past two days to avoid becoming Involved- in the strike. These men are all expect ed to return to work as soon as all the mines are In operation. j There is little or no work done in the Tug River field. The Thacker and Clinch valley fields are still working full forces with little indication, if any, that there will be a tie up in those districts." The stories being sent out of some of the minin-r towns that quantities of ammunition and great numbers of Winchesters are being sent into the field are misleading in many respects. The men placed at the tunnels and bridges along the railroad to guard against violence are always armed and at the present time they have been re inforced in numbers. There has been no intimidation, but the strike agita tors are still doing all they can to get the men to quit work. j . Bramwell Conference. Blvefikld, W. Va , June 11.
