WASHINGTON, I). C., May 1 Ia the fourth werk of the strike (April 24ih to .Mill) production has t unit'd up ward. The output of bituminous coal is exHctcd to pH Ha the four million-to- n mark . Product iou of anthracite, how ever, remains pract ically zero. The re vised figures for the third wn-Ap ril 17th to ?M) are 3rKill,INHI tons of OOiKI oft coal and tons of anthracite, a total for all coal of net tons. The same week of the 191!) strike saw 5,344, 000 tons of bituminous and 2,055,000 tons of anthracite produced, a total uf 7,399,000 tons. The current output of hard and soft coal combined is therefore some 3,800,000 tons short of that in the eorresxinding ierioi of the 1919 atrike. Telegraphic reiorta indicate a definite increase in production of soft roal during the present week (Aiiril 24th to 29th). Loadings on Monday, April 24th were 12,131 care. Thia waa the highest since the strike began, yet it waa exceeded on Tuesday and again on Wednesday, when 12,250 rare were loaded. If this rate lie maintained during the rest of the week, the total output should approximate 4,150,000 tons.

QUIET ATPRESENT Turbulent Happenings Up At Scofield Apparently Subsided. Further disturbances have occured at Scofield since the shooting n'lnrlod a week ago in which the mine guards and strikers engaged in a battle, and in which one of the guards and two strikers were wounded.! Several more incidents are reported in which shots have been fin'd. Sheriff T. F. Keller has been in Scofield ever since the first outbreak, and is handliug the situation. No troops have been brought into the district and probably none will lie. Several conferences have been had with the men by the officers and representatives of Gov. Charla R. Mahey. A couple of military officers visited the camp and outlined to the strikers their advantage in conducting themselves so aa to make it unnecessary to bring in the troops. The leaden of the men are making every effort to prevent violence, and Sheriff Kelter lias a considerable force of deputies recruited specially for the occasion at his command. The county commissioners are lending every effort to prevent trouble, and unless some further trouble at present uulooked for comes up the quiet at present prevailing is likely to continue. Strike conditions over the eounty are getting a little more serious. At Sunnyside it is said the men are just about all out. Aside from w.ek that the situation ia much ns a Mohr-lanago. Hiawatha, Wattia, Heiner, Cameron and Kenilworth are working. Castle Gate and Clear Creek are about half at work. More coal is being produced than the market will absorb. Business conditions over the eounty are in a chaotic state owing to the unrest. d, JOE OVER GREEN RIVER IS NEARLY FINISHED TO ZERO POINT and the improvement, which has gnat been contemplated for a long time, will make for much greater security at this point. More dides of earth from the softened hillsides as the snow melts have given Plant considerable trouble. However, the last one, at the lower end of the Colton dugway, was retired within a very few hours, as a supply of repair material ia held at close proximity to all points considered dangerous. Work eontinues in putting iron pipe in the road crossings where the paving oerations of the Price to Castle Gate highway will pass over the conduit. The cast iron pipe used in these jobs so far was bought so that the river crossing at Castle Gate eould be made amply long, and another carload of thia pipe will be required all thia work can be finished.

Right up to their schedule as outlined to The Sun some time ago, ind as announced at that time that lxmring of concrete would start about May 8th, Gray and Murdock, the contractors who are putting in tpe having on the Price to Castlh Gate highway have their plant installation juBt tlx nit completed. Their first stand is at Maxwell, about two miles out from Price, when a long aide track already existing makes yard room for gravel cars. A substantial gravel bin or hopper ia in place, a mixer of a eubie yard capacity ia set on a aubatantinl platform at sufficient elevation to dump into the conveying trucks, a commodious cement shed ia almost finished and the hoists, motors and other electrical equipment is in place and was '.arced over in a try-oyesterday. Water connection with Price eitya pipsline haa been made, and with the i'rrival of gravel from the asttea pits np north of Lehi work will be started. First shipment of gravel has already been started this way, and Charles E. Murdock, of the contracting firm assures The Sun today that actual work on laying pavement will be under way by next Tuesday. The mechanical : tamtlor-sn per is on the ground. Riding the steel forms used in confining tne edges of the concrete in pouring, this appliance tamps, levels off and finishes the surface of the roadway at a single operation. The only piece "f apparatus not in place is the big caterpillar mounted dipper crane, used to take gravel from the ears and dump t directly into the hopper at the mixing plant. This machine will move back and forth bet .Teen the hopper and the track on which the gravel ears will iie potted, and with a reach similar to a steamshovel w:ll handle the material rapidly and effectively. Piles of gravel and sand will also be unloaded a the ground by this apparatus, where it can again be reached for placement in tne hopper should it happen that no loaded ears are at hand. A track has been laid to bring eement from the shed to the mixing plant. The storage shed ia located distant from tho Plant to insure plenty of track room so that ears .of cement spotted at the shed will not - ut iWork on the bridge at Green River ..progressing with crews on both sides of the river according to the Cowrier.

J LOCAL MAN SITS ON JURY CASE AGAINST CHARLIE IN Charlie Chaplin was mulcted of four thousand dollars by a jury in the ease tried at Salt Lake City this week, in which King and Schulder, M. P. Bnf-fett- s old associates, sued the film comedian for a fee commensurate with services furnished in connection with his great picture The Kid. Chaplain was fearful lest his wife should attach the picture, and also desired to hold up the picture corporation which had contracted for a aeries of films to be produced at a rate away below what he finally received for the picture. It was claimed that the suing attorneys had given him counsel which gained him several hundred thousand dollars in the deal, and their fee was billed to Chaplain as twenty-fiv- e thousand dollars. J. W. Loofbourow waa on the jury in this eonrt p raced ure. non-unio- n districts of the Middle snd Southern Apia!aeliiiins. It is not due to the return to vyork of striking niiners, either union nr non union, hut rather to increased demand resulting in greater activity in those districts which have reumiiid at work. The quickening of the market has not yet liecn sufficient to nhsurli fully the accumulation of unbilled ears of coal at the mines, although it ia true that the numlier of these uneonsignel loads ia ateadily decreasing. Rejiorta of no market continue to be received, especially from the South and West, and iroduction haa not yet reached the imit set by the raiacity of the mines not affected by the atrike. Consump tiun is still lieing met largely from storage. Even at the present rate of output the draft uxn the consumers' stock piles cannot be much leu than four million tons a week. No change in the anthracite situs tion ia indicated in reports received by the geological survey. A few can of team sizes dredged from the rivers rontinue to go forward. In the third week of the atrike seven of the nbe anthracite carriers loaded no cool at all, and the two remaining roads re ported only a hundred and eight ears. Total production ia estimated at t six thousand tons. In the third week of the strike of 1919, which affected only bituminous mines, the anthracite region produced 2155,000 net tons of ib-ju- coal. When the strike began the aoeumn Iation at the mines of unbilled cars loaded with coal waa large. l.Yporla from the roads indicate that the average daily number of coal loads unconsigned waa aa follows : : coal-carryin- g Cars Curs Week ended.
