A poll of other steel special Secretary-treasure- n, by-law- companies which own mines revealed they had received no word from the union leader. The U M Ws 1949 contract demands are not public knowledge but the industry looks for a demand that operators increase the payments they made into the unions welfare and pension fund. The operators now pay 20c a ton royalty on each' ton of coal produced. Demand Almost Certain They wont be surprised if the union asks them to increase the payment to 30c, or even 40c a ton. The fund has been spending money faster Than it has been receiving it, making such a demand almost certain. , The current coal contract expires June 30 but failure to negotiate a new one wouldnt bring a strike until July 6. Thats because the contract provides the nations 400,000 soft coal diggers with a paid vacation starting June 25 . .Since miners have a no contract, no work tradition, they probably would not return from their vacations if no contract has been signed by July 6. 10-d- ay Coke Ovens Shut Down 100 Last Wednesday Kaiser-Fraz- er Coke Ovens The Kaiser-Frazat Columbia definitely stopped the production of coke last Wednesday.

Number 47 ng The East Carbon Posse is out on the loose now. At a meeting held Sunday, May 22, the group was officially organized. J. D. Dillard, captain of the Carbon county posse was at the meeting together with Dave Wallace, the county sheriff, Keith Leavitt, Price sergeant and Monte V. Bush, Price member. The group wil come under the Carbon county sheriffs office. The folowing officers were elected: Joe Holman, first lieutenant; Tom McCourt, second lieutenant, and Sherman Hicks, sergeant. In addition to the above named men the following were at the well attended meeting: Clayton Robertson, John C. Maxey, John ent The-bo- bag this week. But not enough to tip his hand. To some steelmen, it looked as though the burly head of the United Mine Workers might be trying to put the giant U.S. Steel Corp. in a position where it would set the wage and pension pattern for the entire coal industry. Big steel wouldnt like that. In the past, top officials have protested against the pace-sett- er role they frequently have occupied in steel and occasionally in coal. Question of Timing Other steelmen thought Lewis was trying to maneuver the coal operators into three split camps. The three groups would be northern operators, southern operators and the steel companies which own captive mines pits whose production goes into steel-makiinstead of being sold on the commercial market. Its a question of timing what will happen. The situation is this: Southern operators and the United Mine Workers will open contract talks Wednesday at Blue-fiel- d, W, Va.

Nearly 600 poppies were sold with pro' ceeds amounting to over $75 which will go to the veterans who were wounded in war. Mrs. Emily Morrison represented the Amert can Legion in this area for the sale of poppies and the girls worked under her direction. ' United Mine Workers Welfare and Retirement Fund made public a report that may signify trouble in the future. More monfcy is being paid out of the fund than is coming into the fund. It is common talk within the coal fields that Lewis will ask for an increase in the royalty paid pe'r ton. It is now at 20c and many expect it to. go to, 40c when the new contract is signed. The fund since the first of the year has been pay ing out hundreds of thousands a week more than the anticipated income. The fund average amount paid out since January 1 is over $2,200,000 per week. Question often arises as to what will happen if business slumps in the coal industry with a de crease in the royalty fund. It will either mean a decrease in the payments to the miners or an Increase in the royalty fund payment by the operators, or both. The first public release given out by the Policy Committee of the UMW was the following report: Acting within the scope of its authority delegated by the Fortieth Constitutional Convention, the Policy Committee has examined the expressions and desires of the membership affecting future contract negotiations, as revealed in 1,013 resolutions originating in local unions and district conventions. As a result, the executive officers and conference representatives of the union are fully informed and advised as to the policies to be followed, and are granted full warrant of authority in the effort to attain desired objec-- t . tives. The Policy Committee Joins with all other Americans in the constructive hope that a new agreement in the anthracite and bituminous coal industry can be consumated without strife or economic loss, and, for once, without the imposition of oppressive legal sanctions by government." Outlining the facts as to current coal production and consumption in the United States, Kennedy observed that under the productive capacity of the mining industry of the United States, coal is going to be running out of our ears this year. Naturally, It follows that this means disjointed working time, with some mines working six days, some five, some four, some three, and some not at all He then stated: The problem that will require the attention of the industry and the UMWA is to gear hours of work to consumption in, such a way asto insure some equalization of work, taking into consideration our productive capacity. We were flexible during the war and permitted the extension of the work day and also the work week. If elasticity was had with respect to hours so as to meet the needs of the nation then, by equal logic it is reasonable to assume that steps could now be taken to reduce hours In view of the decreased needs of the nation.

All children of the parish must attend the classes of religious instruction and educational program conducted by the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul of Price and two girls, of Notre Dame school.
