To Mis. Dick and Mr. Young, The Chronicle extends hearty congratula tions and best wishes. The miners went back to work as little lambs. They are controlled by Lewis, which is not to their credit. We suspect they would but their heads against brick walls should their arrogant and.selfish leader give such an order. Lewis is a menace to the United, States. He puts himself and his crowd first, with no consideration whatso ever of the American people or to what extent they are inconvenienced or may suffer.
