The miners refused to start work yesterday and threatened to f withdraw the safety men if their demands were not met. The Committee of Management responded with a threat to begin removing the pumps and other gear from the mine at 4 o’clock this afternoon if the miners failed to resume work. The threat was duly put into operation, and it is expected that the pumps will be out at 8 o’clock to-night and the mine definitely abandoned. About 100 men are affected. j
