Ihe exception for the mines west of the Mississippi was due to the extreme weather conditions that have prevailed during the winter months. Weather conditions in the east were quite mild allowing a surplus of coal. According to press dispatches, the two week walkout, billed by Lewis as a mourning period" for the "unnecessary slaughter of mine workers, was ordered by the U. M. W. chief in protest against President Harry S. Trumans appointment of Boyd. Boyd has been serving as bureau director without pay pending senate action on his recent appointment, Boyd said Lewis criticism of him may be a general attack" on Secretary of the Interior J. A Krug, a longtime foe of the mine boss, or, it mey be that Mr. Lewis is piqued because he was not consulted on my appoint- ment" Quit at Midnight Soft and hari coal miners east of the Mississippi quit at midnight Sunday night in the seventh ma- jor work stoppage in the nations coal mines. Labor and Indus try, leaders joined in condemning Lewis for ordering the walkout which already has caused coal hauling railroads to schedule the layoff of more than 55,000 employees, effective last Monday. The nations existing stockpile of some 70,000,000 tons of coal will be cut by about 35 by the memorial shutdown and another stoppage is due July 1 when the miners take their annual vacation. Extension Would Hurt walkout was While a not expected to affect steel production, any extension or repetition of the work stoppage would bring quick reductions in iron and steel operations. Carnegie-Illino- is Steel company, big operating subsidiary of U. S. Steel corporation, qualified its announcement of continued high operating schedules with according to present plans, Joseph L. Moody, president of the Southern Coal Producers, said he had reason to believe Lewis" might extend the mourning walkout to further cut supplies above ground and improve his position in the new wage contract negotiations which open May 1. Officials of the CIO and the Progressive Mine Workers, bitter rival of U. M. W., joined in condemning Lewis action. And C. l. O., A.F. L and railroad brotherhood leaders Saturday night combined for the first time in a united appeal for repeal of the labor law, which is threatened by the Lewis walkout. two-we- ek two-we- ek Taft-Hartl- ey "'T Spring Fiesta To Bo Held on Mrs. Jennie Bleagard enterClub at tained the her home Friday evening.
