" STRIKE PICTURE 1SUNCERTAIN An eight-day-ol- d strike against Utah's major nonferrous under-ground mines by United Steel Workers of America appeared near an end Wednesday when two major developments were reported. They were: 1. Miners at Park Utah Con-solidated Mining Co. and Silver King Coalition Mines Co. re-turned to work Thursday while company and union representa-tives continue negotiations on a new wage contract. 2. A meeting Wednesday night between union representatives and United States Smelting Refining and Mining Co. officials led to a plan for reopening min-es at the firm's Lark and Bing-ham properties. The proposal ar-rived at in the Wednesday night meeting will be submitted for consideration of the union mem-berships Friday at 11 a.m. S. Lyle Johnson, federal medi-ation commissioner at Salt Lake City, and Dan Edwards, Utah Labor Relations Board, presided at the USSR&M meeting. While the situation brightened with respect to Utah's under-ground mines, skies darkened over the vast copper workings of Utah and other western stak-es, which face a strike on Aug-ust 20, perhaps sooner. The deadlock between Kenne-cott Copper Corp. and five bar-gaining unions over demands for a wage increase and other bene-fits remained unbroken, and it appeared that only an early re-sumption of negotiations or a move by Washington's Wage Stabilization Board can prevent the idling of 95 per cent of Am-erica's copper production. The four, American Federation., .,,, of Labor unions comprising the Metal Trades Council voted at a meeting Tuesday in Salt Lake City to strike Aug. 20, or sooner "if it could be worked out." Of-ficials of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers independent, announc-ed Wednesday in Denver their members will respect the picket lines of the A F L workers if their strike is earlier than that of Mine-Mil- l. The Mine-Mi- ll union last week won approval of its membership for a strike to enforce wage and other demands, and the national wage policy committee has set a meeting for Aug. 15 in Denver to fix the date of the strike. This union of 80,000 members throughout the west is asking for a 20c an hour wage increase and other benefits. The Metal Trades Council voted to strike not only against Kennecott, but also against Ana-conda Copper Mining Co., Phelps Dodge and American Smelting and Refining Co. Operating in five western states, these com-panies produce 95 per cent of the nation's copper. H. B. Douglas, acting chairman of the metal trades council, said, "We are now awaitinsr the notion of the Mine-Mi- ll executive board. We are all going out together." The old contract between the Utah Copper Division of Kenne-cott Copper Corp., and the five unions expired June 30. O SOCIAL SECURITY AGENT SLATED HERE AUGUST 21 Hartley D. Lampshire of the Salt Lake City office of the So-cial Security Administration will be at the Bingham City hall in Bingham Canyon cn Tuesday August 21, at 11:00 a.m. to con-duct business for the Bureau of Old-Ag- e and Survivors Insur-ance. Mi. Lampshire pointed out that many people who work for themselves in 1951 and who have never worked before under So-cial Security will need Social Security cards for the first time. Applications for Social Security cards may be made with Mr. Lampshire or with the nearest post office. The numbers on the cards are used by the adminis-tration to identify the workers and their earnings and must be included on the persons' Federal income tax re-turn. The deadline for making such a report for the year 1951 is March 15, 1952. LOCAL FIRE UNIT REPRESENTED BY MANYAT LOGAN Firemen attending the 41st an-nual convention of the Utah State Firemen's Association at Logan last week were enthusiastic the fine time everyone had. The Bingham delegation was housed at the Oskar Motor Court and was the largest delegation at the convention. In one of the largest parades in the history of the association, Bingham placed third, with Am-erican Fork winning first and Murray, second. The time was taken up with meetings, memorial service, edu-cational sessions, the annual banquet and dancing. A lunch-eon and tea for the ladies were highlights of the auxiliary activi-ties.

Following the election of Mr. Creedon, Earl T. James present-ed him with a Sunbeam Shave-mast- er as a token for his service to the fire association on behalf of the Bingham delegation.

A daughter of William J. and Clara Brown Terry, she was born December 4, 1878, in Draper, Utah. She was married to Carl J. Stillman in 1900 in Salt Lake City. Mr. Stillman died about 15 years ago. Mrs. Stillman resided in Bing-ham Canyon from the time of her marriage until 1923, when she moved to Los Angeles. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints.

OPENING SET FOR SWIMMING POOL A remodeled swimming pool at the Civic Center is expected to be in operation in Bingham Canyon by the first of Septem-ber. Paul Rose, Salt Lake County Recreation director, said the pool, located at the scene of the old Bingham high school, has not been used for more than 20 years, but that when completely redecorated it will be among the finest pools in the state. Mr. Rose said the work of fill-ing in low spots, building a gut-ter, and preparing a chlorina-tio- n system is being handled as a joint venture by the County Recreation department, Jordan School District, Bingham City, and Kennecott Copper Corpora-tion. The pool is located in a build-ing formerly used by Bingham high school, but now serving as a youth center. When completed the pool will be in operation 12 monAs of the year. Mr. Rose said the pool will be used by the school district dur-ing school hours, and that activ-ities would be conducted by the county recreation department af-ter school hours and during the summer months. Sports Here and There by Al AMett Just look what is calling the kettle black. I mean congress-men saying because a student has some advance information on an examination he is a poor risk for the United States army. But those same congressmen think nothing of giving out ad-vance information on a $10,000,- - 000 contract. Of course, some times their wife might get a mink coat as a present. Of course we have no way of proving it, but I bet that many of our great-est soldiers have at some time in their school days copped a peek at the answers in the back of the text. So why should 90 boys be expelled from West Point be-cause their friends told them some of the questions they had. Was there any certainty that the same questions would be them? If the practice of giving the same questions on successive days has been long in practice at West Point, I dare say they better for-get the investigation because our army might be short of officers. 1 think there are a great deal more important questions that congress could be thinking of. Too bad our American Legion team lost the play-o- ff to Salt Lake, but a couple of bad errors let a 6 to 0 lead get away. Austin pitched a beautiful game and de-served to win, but we must not lose sight of the fact that these are just boys and that they are giving their best. Bingham is charging in the Industrial league. They took over first place Wednesday night by beating American Fork 9 to 2. I still say it will be a dog fight with Bingham in it all the way.

B.DJLA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BDAA TROUNCES FORKERS; PLAY HELPER TONIGHT! . The local BDAA diamond nine went back into the lead, in the tough Industrial loop, with a 9 to 2 victory over American Fork, first half champs. The locals now have four wins and only one loss, and have administered both setbacks to the Forkers. George Sluga went the route for the Bingham nine, and turn-ed in a superb hurling job. Sluga held the powerful Forker hitters well in check, allowing only six hits, all of them in the last four frames. The first half champs failed to score until the 8th inn-ing, and a last frame rally fell apart after the losers had push-ed across thcti4 only other tally Bingham blasted Woodbury and Tate for 17 hits, including a three-pl- y swat by Schick, and a pair of doubles by Crump and Sluga. Bingham plays a make-u- p game at Copperton tonight, the Helper Merchants. This game was rained out July 25, and rescheduled. Sunday, August 12, Bingham plays host to Magna at Copper-to- n in another night game, and next Wednesday the same two clubs play at Lagoon on Ken-necott Copper Field Day. Bing-ham is scheduled to play Brig-ha- m City Wednesday, August 15 but an effort is being made to change this game to a different date, as the locals play an after-noon game the same day at Lagoon. SOFTBALL SLANTS Gemmell club became winners of the second half of the hectic softball chase the past week, with an 11 to 2 victory over Cop-per King-Emerald- s, and a 15 to 8 verdict over Princess theatre. Princess and the Emeralds have a post-pone- d game to play that has a bearing on first half hon-ors. If the theatre boys can win over Copper King-Emerald- s, then Princess and Gemmell club will have tied for first half, making a play-of- f game necessary. If the Emeralds can dump Princess, then Gemmell club is sole win-ner of both halves.

However he will have to miss the tourna-ment as he will leave next week (Continued on page ten) COPPERTON BASEBALLPROGRAM S. L. COUNTY RECREATION by B. J. Santistevan Area Director 0 This week has been rather a poor week on our playground as far as attendance is concerned due to the fact that our teams were broken into as the Bingham scout troops were taken to Camp Steiner. However the boys will be back Saturday and' will be ready for the Midget tournament at Magna Monday and Tuesday and the Minor tournament at Bingham Thursday and Friday. Trophies will be given to the champions of our playground league in both the Minor and Midget leagues. These will come from Paul Rose, superintendent of the Salt Lake County Recrea-tion department. We all have hopes that .next year we can enter all our teams in the league set up with the Salt Lake City teams of this age. We have teams just as good as the one out on the coast at present and I sincerely hope that we can find a suitable sponsor for such a team or lea-gue. Perhaps we can interest the Copper company in this. It would really be a great breeak for these young ball players who are for-gotten until they can move up to American Legion play at 13 or 14 years of age. Our playground will close this week but we will continue to keep our boys in the tournaments sponsored by Salt Lake County Recreation until they are elimin-ated or win the championship. An All-St- ar Midget league team of 15 players will be select-ed to play in the All-St- ar tour-nament at Murray August 20, 22 and 24 against the other four area Midget league players. The games will be broadcast over KMUR. All these players must be 12 years of age or under to be eligible to play. They will be selected by Dick Roblez and Delmar Schick, 0ur two play-ground leaders, who will have INFANT'S RITES HELD TUESDAY Mass of the Angels was sung Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Holy Ros-ary Catholic church for Joanna Patricia Romero, old daughter of Jose and Corina San-chez Romero, 106 Carr Fork, Bingham, who died of lobar pneumonia Saturday at 7:45 a.m. in a Salt Lake hospital. The child was born March 1, 1950, in Salt Lake City. Surviving are her parents and three grandparents, Mrs. Ruben Sanchez, Bingham and Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Romero, Rodarte, N. Mex. Interment was in Bingham city cemetery under direction of Bingham Mortuary. o BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Harry Watkins of West Jordan, formerly of Bingham, announce the birth of a son on Monday, July 30 at Cot-tonwood maternity hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Christ Karatonos are the parents of a baby boy born Friday, August 3, at St. Mark's hospital, Salt Lake City. A son arrived Monday, Aug-ust 6, at Cottonwood maternity hospital for Mr. and Mrs. George Talbot of Bingham. CITYJCOUNCIL Regular weekly business meet-ing of the city council was held last Thursday night reported Eu-gene Morris, recorder. The coun-cil gave approval to the firemen to purchase 500 feet of Vi inch hose, and Mayor C. A. Morley re-ported that the new truck is ready for delivery at the factory. With reference to a decrease in Bingham's 1951 assessed valua-tion, councilmen spent consider-able time in discussing the tax levy with regard whether it will be necessary to increase the levy or not. A lengthy discussion was held on the matter, however no action was taken. Final action in regard to the levy will be taken at this week's meeting of the council, Mr. Morris said.
