He will deliver the appeal to the company, and the following day, Sunday, the miners will know if they are to go back to work. "In the event of Purdy, the final arbiter, refusing to start up on half time," says Metz, who is now the leader of the Miner's Union, "we can go to Latimer and Harleigh, to-morrow. The mines will be closed; they are only working them six days a week now.
"Can they have been told of our plan to head them off?" asks the sheriff. At this moment the head of the procession of miners turns the corner of the road. The American Flag and the White Flag are still in the van. The sheriff takes up a position on the side of the road. As the miners come up to him, he calls them to "halt." "Where are you going?" he demands. "To Harleigh," replies Metz.
"I know what you are up to; do you think that I am going to let you cause a sympathetic strike in Harleigh because you are locked out? Not if I know myself." When the miners come to a halt, the men in advance cluster about Metz and the sheriff. Now thirty men surround the sheriff. Some of them are, of course, in advance of him.
I think so, and therefore I say to you, now is the day to fight for it." "Well," he said, checking himself, "there's the ferry coming in. I'm going over to Camden to have a look around on my way back to Harleigh." "I'm afraid you'll find Mickle street somewhat changed," I said, for by this time I knew him. "I love changes," he said.
Unquestionably Walt Whitman's tomb over in Harleigh Walt's vault was copied from our bank. The cheques in our book are blue. We have always regretted this. If we had known it beforehand perhaps we would have inflicted our problems upon another bank. Because there are so many more interesting colours for cheques, tints upon which the ink shows up in a more imposing manner.
"They might get through to Harleigh and Latimer." "We will round up the six who escaped," Captain Grout assures the sheriff. He then details ten men to run down the miners who have eluded capture. This is an easy matter, as the footprints of the miners are perfectly distinct in the soft snow. On the six trails the men set off, as a pack of hounds on the scent of game.
The orchestra complained that Mr. Harleigh put them out, and Mr. Harleigh declared that the orchestra prevented his singing a note. The fishermen, who were hired for the occasion, revolted to the very life, positively refusing to play without an increased allowance of spirits; and, their demand being complied with, getting drunk in the eruption-scene as naturally as possible.
It is fortunate that we have a sheriff who has the grit to stand his ground. He says a telegram or telephone message will summon him to Harleigh or Hazleton at a moment's notice, and he will swear our Coal and Iron Policemen in as deputies. "Whatever they do then will be legal Understand?" Trueman looks straight at Purdy several seconds before he replies.
We will appeal to the men to quit work unless the Paradise Company gives us a chance to earn our bread." "If the Harleigh men won't go out, they will at least give us some food for a Christmas dinner," says a miner whose hollow cheeks tell of long fasting. "Peter Gick died last night," a miner states as he enters the hall.
The banks of the cut are fringed with brush, which affords a complete cover for the men. "You keep out of sight, too, Captain," Sheriff Marlin orders. "I will stop the miners. If they see you and the Coal and Iron Police they may scatter, and some of them reach Harleigh." The ambuscade is complete. Five minutes passes. There is no sign of the miners.
