Calgary, Oct. 21.—C. P. Hill,
general manager of the coal mine
at Hillcrest, Alta., has wired Pre-
mier Borden that he had just
been through the Crow’s Nest

asked the Premier to arrange
some sort of scheme that the
miners should go back to work and
the trouble be adjusted later.
Hill blames the labor agitators
from Indianapolis. He says that
even if the mines now resume
it will be impossible to supply the
demand. .
