The shutdown was caused by a strike of the employees of a Kirksville mine, who came out because the mine foreman refused to treat with them over some grievance. The operators claimed that the men had violated the contract, which provided that the mines were to be kept going pending settlement of any trouble. We are not advised as to what disposition, if any, was made of the Kirksville trouble.
