PAVING NOT LIKELY STRIKE ALMOST CERTAIN IN COAL FIELDS NOT Main Street Will Have to Oo Another Year An Natural. LIKELY OF GREAT EFFECT IN IRAN Making a frantie eleventh hour effort to arrange for paving along Main atrert in Price, the Carbon county working from a session in which they met with Ira It. Browning of the state road commission, got busy late yesterday afternoon over the tele-at a meeting of the gioue. Browning, club Wednesday night had definitely put the goukey on the idea that any such paving under existing arrangements would lie accomplish-thi- s summer. The efforts of the loeal people were directed to getting a statement from B. J. Finch, the United States government a district engineer, with headquarters at Ogden, as to just what could be expected in getting fed eral aid toward paving on the Main street of Price without considering the the crossing a railroad at the city limits. It is this crossing that has put the original idea of aving straight on through to the poatoffire out of business. Finch assured the local people that he would do all he could to their desires. The confident assurance from all sources during the past year that everything is arranged for this Main street work is thus seen to be fallacious. It now apiears from Brownings dojie that it will take at least another year to get the railway, the federal agencies, the state authorities and many conflicting interests on the job to bring in the connecting link from the Castle- (late to Price iwviug. Graveling out along the road to Emery county will proceed this summer with Carbon county strictly on its own, no state aid being available. It appears that the federal government will ay something more than has been heretofore announced toward the paving between lrice and Castle Gate, and that the $133,000 of Carbon county money placed with the state road commission to cover the countys share of this eoet will leave a rebate to come fur-the- ir - back when that work is completed. Response to telegrsms sent to the Utah senators at Washington, D. G, tell of the final signing of the contract through which federal aid is to be ex tended on the Price to Castle Gate paving. Governmental approval is obtained through a roundabout channel. Passing through the office of the federal engineer at Ogden, then to the powers at San Francisco, from where it goes to hte secretary of agriculture at Washington, D. , the contract has finally been approved and no further delay is to be expected in the actual work on the highway.

None, however, would predict low long the walkout would continue, asserting that their fight would continue indefinitely. While no official forecast of the length of the strike wss made, it was indicated authoritatively that the union officials felt that any wage conference with oerators of the central competitive field was very doubtful until the big eoal stocks now on hand had been depleted. Operators here said the stocks on hand would meet the countrys requirements for two months, and that meanwhile non union fields could almost half sujvply of the normal While the atrike in the soft coal fields hinges on the situation in the central eonqwtitive field, which is the union's basis for wages of all soft eoal districts, the strike in Pennsylvania anthracite fields may be ended Indore that in the soft eoal fields, for negotiation! now are under way for a new anthracite wage agreement. Any new wage scale must be approved by a referendum of the miners affected by it, and the cessation of the strike, officials here said, rested with the unions policy committee. The opinion in union circles was that the committee would end the strike whenever a wage seals aeeeptable to the men had been negotiated and approved bv a referendum vote of the miners. With only ten daya intervening until April 1st, the time waa said to be too short for ea rrying out the union's program for reaching a Conditions la Utah. While the Utah producing coal fields, mainly in Carbon county, are not organized in the sense that the Wyoming fields are, the approach of April lat, set for the walkout of members of the United Mine Workers, presents n distinct problem. There are between five and six thousand men employed in th Utah mines. It is generally known among the miners and the general pub-li- e that amended wage scales calling for reductions of between 35 and 30 ier cent will be posted to take effect April 1st at the Utah mines. Inasmuch as these mines are nut orgsniz- ed, and judging from the loyalty of the Utah men at the time of the last gen- eral atrike in November, 1919, the consensus of opinion seems to he that the Utah mim will probably continue to produce coal without mujur interruv tion. In view of the lack of information concerning the extent to which the Utah fields have been entered by organizers in recent weeks, and the IMissihle effect of such efforts, even the ojierators hesitate to make any clear-cu- t prediction as to just wlmt will occur. Throe mint's which reduced their wage schedules some weeks ago have continued operations somewhat reduced forces. If the majority of the men stay at work in the Utah fields?, and that is the general expectation, production will lie continued at as nearly a normal rat.; as pus theyre perfect a throw for some all sizes shirts very nifty nice variety of patterns One Dollar a. d.

At almost every other institution where girls are employed in large numbers, at hotels and railroad offieea, as well as in the banks and dejiartmeiit stores, the dross and conduct of the girls is closely scrutinized before they are empolyed, obviating close supervision afterwards. At no place, however, are the regulations very specific. They do not specify the lengths and breadths by inches and the statutes are not ironclad.
