Largest Strike In History of State Is Now Underway One of the largest strikes in the history of the state of Utah began Monday morning, Janu-ary 21, when about 5000 mem-bers of district No. 2, Intcrna- - tional Union of Mine, Mill and Swelter Workers, failed to re- - port for work on the day shifts at three of the largest mines and smelters in Utah, Utah Copper company, U. S. Smelting, Refin- - ing and Mining Co., and Amer-ican Smelting and Refining Co. Early Monday morning picket lines were established at the properties, tying up all opera-tions after efforts to bring both union and company officials to an agreement failed. The strike was being carried on quietly and orderly, company officials reported. As early as 5:30 a.m. Monday pickets showed up at the pre-cipitation plant. Cars en route to Bingham were stopped and drivers requested to show passes or other identification to prove they were workers in mines not involved in the strike, or other businesses, before they could go on their way. Maintenance and office workers were allowed to go through. It was estimated by H. Bowlby, secretary, local union 485, Bing-ham Open Pit Miners, that there are about 1700 workers on strike at the Utah Copper. There were a large group of pickets on the job at seven dif-ferent place at the Magna and Arthur mills of Utah Copper and at the AS&R plant at Garfield No workers reported on the day shift except maintenance men, foremen, assistant foremen and superintendents. Many signs were carried by the pickets. Approximately 400 workers came from Magna and Garfield area in a caravan to help picket at the Bingham mine. Utah Copper officials said the last trainload of ore left Bing-ham Sunday about 5 m. It was reported that approxi-mately 775 men were involved in the strike of U. S. Mines em-ployees. 400 are those who work-ed at the mill and smelter in Midvale- SOCIAL SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE TO BE HERE TUESDAY Miss Maxinc Charlicr, repre-sentative of the Salt Lake City field office of the Social Security Board, will visit Bingham on January 29- She will be at the city hall at 11:00 a.m. Several interviews have already been arranged for her with individu-- ; als who have specific personal questions regarding their status under the Social Security Act, and it is hoped that any others who have questions about their 'social security cards or eligibili-ty rights or those who desire other information regarding so-- ; cial security, will contact her at the city hall on that day. JAYCEES ARRANGE ANNUAL DINNER The annual junior chamber of commerce Distinguished Service Award banquet will be held at the Masonic hall Monday even-- ! ing, January 28, at 7:30 o'clock.

A total of 224 cases for 1945 are listed with the Utah State Department of Health. An addi-tion- 13 cases not included in the above breakdown were listed as non-reside- cases. All but 11 of Utah's 29 coun-ties were included in the infan-tile paralysis epidemic which struck the state? last summer, ac-cording to an official tabulation by the state department of health. A total of 244 cases in which Utah residents were afflicted was noted in the reports from county physicians during the year. In addition, 13 other cases in which ts were vic-tims of the dreaded disease, also were reported during the year With the 1946 March of Dimes campaign now under way, Sen-ator Ira A. Huggins, of Ogden, Utah chairman of the March of Dimes committee, pointed out that the epidemic last year grew out of only one polio case report-ed by January 15th. "To date this year, five new-case- s have been registered in at the polio treatment center in Salt Lake City making it urgent that Utahns give more support to the March of Dimes than ever before," said Mr. Huggins. While 11 counties last year es-caped having an "official" case of polio that is, a case diagnos-ed and reported as polio Sena-tor Huggins points out that no section of the state was free of the disease. While the epidemic was centered in the more popu-- ; lous areas, the more isolated re- - gions also were the scenes of mild epidemics. Counties which were free of 'official" cases were Grand, Juab, Kane, Millard, Morgan, Piute, Rich, Daggett, Washing-- ( ton, Wayne, and Beaver. However, Frank S. Emery, Utah's representative of the Na-tion- al Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, warned that the "of-fici- al listing" might not be ac-- I curate on the 1945 total- He ex-- 1 plained that the after effects of mild cases of the disease may not make themselves known for several weeks or months, until a depreciation of the use of mus-cles is felt or becomes visible. "Many of these cases will re- - quire treatment", said Mr. Em-- I cry. He assured residents that, through support of the March of Dimes, Utah will continue to take care of its own in the center at Salt Lake City, pointing out that specialists in polio treat-ment predict that 85 per cent of the patients treated at the center will leave the hospital with no visible after-effec- ts of the dis-ease. SHOES PLEASE! Footwear is desperately reed-ed in all the liberated and loot-ed countries, relief worker re- -' port. In Norway alone there will be nearly three million pairs of wet feet this winter, a recent survey indicates. Many children will have to be kept indoors all thru the bad weather. The thousands of pairs of reconditioned army shoes sent to Norway do not be-gin to meet the total need. In Greece, Poland and Yugo-slavia, farmers whose feet are wrapped in burlap or paper drag their carts over the rough rub-- , ble strewn roads. In France a pair of rationed shoes costs several thousand francs. In the Philippines $50 cannot buy a pair of the cheap- - est quality shoes- In one Czecn-- i oslovak town there was not a single pair of shoes among the population of 300,000 people. From Holland come reports of ' children wearing women's high heeled sandals, or mismated sho-es. There is no leather for mend-- j ing old shoes. The Dutch child-- i ren have not even the tradition-- I al wooden sabots for the Ger-- j mans carried these away with them in retreat. This lack of shoes, galoshes, rubbers is not only an immediate threat to health but a source of future malformations and illness-- 1 es. In contributing shoes, over-shoes, boots, rubbers, bedslippers, playshoes, infants' booties or any type of footwear to the Victory Clothing Collection for overseas relief, we are asked to tie them securely together in pairs. This will help get the shoes overseas writh a minimum of delay to those who need them so desper-ately. BINGHAM TO PLAY GRANTSVILLE HERE Bingham high school Miners basketball team play Granis-vill- e Cowboys Friday (tonight) at the high school gymnasium at Copperton. The first game starts at 7:00 p.m. Bingham and Grantsville are tied for top position in the Jor-dan division after Friday's third-roun- d games, the Miners taking a 41 to 34 win against Murray while the Cowboys upset the fa-vored Tooele Buffs, 28 to 27. Both fives have two wins and no defeats- A dance will follow the game on the gym floor, it is an-nounced by the school. LIONS ENTERTAIN LADIES TUESDAY The Lions club members en-- I tertained at a ladies night ban-quet Tuesday evening at Bing-ham club. A male quartet composed of Lynn Booth, Harold Chester, Woodrow V. Robinson and Earl T. James sang two selections, "I've Been Working on the Rail-road" and "Utah Lion Am I". Harold Nielsen and Dale John- - ston presented two violin duets, "Brahm's Lullaby" and "Swa-ne- e River."

McMullin, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Chesler, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Nielsen, Mr. and Mrs. Earl T. James, Mr. and Mrs. J. Lynn Booth, Mr. and Mrs. Eu-gene Jenkins, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Johnston, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Robinson, Mr. Evans, Mrs. Chesler and Mr. Booth. The flow-ers were received by Mrs. Jen-kins and Mrs. Morley. O ...,. y Freshman co-ed- s at University of Wyoming at Laramie lead the girls in upp er classes in scho-lastic achievement last quarter. Twenty-fiv- e freshman girls, most of them enrolled in the Liberal Arts college were named on the honor roll, indicating that they had achieved a grade average of 1.75 or above. Fifty upperclass women were listed, Indicating that they had achieved a strict-er average of 160 or above. Standard courses of 15 hours or more were carried for scholastic achievement.

Sports Here and There by Al Altleu The boys got over Murray 32 to 26, last Friday on the Murray floor, with Knudsen again the big gun. This big fellow is get-ting to be a great ball player. The boys were ragged in spots, but when the chips were down they came through like champ-ions. At one time they were leading by eleven points, but the Smelter boys got hot and pulled up almost even. That is where the Miners went to work. With Stillman and Knudsen finding the range the locals went ahead again to stay. The locals play the Grantsville Cowboys on the Copperton floor tonight and they are going to have to be on to win this one. The Cowboys took the strong Tooele five last week by one point and they did it Ihe hard way. They have a fairly big team and carry plenty of speed. I think the Miners will win, but I will settle for three points. What the Wyoming Cowboys did to the Redskins from Utah, was worse than the Dutch did to the Indians when they bought Manhattan island for a dollar six bits. Komnich, Sailors and com-pany rang up a 65-4- 5 win, with ivimmicn scoring Jb points him-self. Experts say Milo gave as good a one man shooting exhi-bition as they have ever seen. There wasn't a man on the Utah squad that could come close to stopping him- Sailors looks bet-ter than he did before going in-- : to the navy, if that's possible. The Cowboys play Oklahoma Aggies this week-en- d and the winner of this set should go ways toward the national championship. Should be a great duel between the nation's two top centers, Kommich and Kur-lan- d. I pick Wyoming because besides the great center they have Wier, and Sailors. I don't think there is another team in the country that can match these three. The Salt Lake Golden Glove team made a good showing over in Denver. Two of the boys went to the finals. One winning and one losing. Houck, the light-weight, won by a knockout, and Victor Roblez, the Bingham boy, lost by a knockout- Victor met a boy by the name of Hogan from Fort Warren. This colored boy hasn't lost a fight since go-- 1 ing into the army. Vic hasn't done any boxing for some time, and Hogan was just too strong for him. Boxing lost one of its really strong men this week when John J. Phelan passed away. Phelan has been on the New York com-- 1 mission since the Walker law j was passed legalizing the sport in that state. Everyone knew Jie was honest and in the box4ig game around New York that meant something. Baseball is making the news. The Pioneer league has their! meeting in Salt Lake this week and everything is set to go- All the teams are tied up with some club in leagues of higher classi-fication. Boise was the last to make a connection with Seattle. Salt Lake has tied up with the New York Giants. i Bob Feller will probably be the highest paid player in the! game this year. Some say his contract calls for $40,000. Not bad for a man without a horse. ' See you next week, AL. Mr. and Mrs. Daryl Robertson and family are leaving Monday to make their home at Seattle, Wash. BDAA payroll deduction me-mbership cards held by em-ployees of U. S. Mines and Utah Copper company will be honored at all entertainment sponsored by the BDAA during the shut-dow- See you all tonight. s Mr. and Mrs- Harvey Wolfe are leaving the first of next week to make their home at Palo Alto, Calif. FORMER PUBLISHER TAKES OVER NEW JOB Cantril (Flash) Nielsen, post-master at Hyrum for the past twelve years and prominent in Utah collegiate athletics more than twenty years, has resigned his postmastership to become manager of the sporting goods department of the Bennett stor-es in Utah and Idaho, it was an-nounced Saturday by Wallace F. Bennett, president of the Ben-nett Glass and Paint company. He will make his temporary headquarters at Logan. Mr. Nielsen started his athletic career at the Utah State Agri-cultural college in 1924 and dur-ing his four years in college, was 'Jl mm a letterman in football, baseball, basketball and track. Following graduation, he coached at South Cache high school until the fall of 1933, when he was appointed postmaster. During the past twelve years, he has been a state official in college and high school basketball and football- - Mr. Nielsen also is widely known-- in Lions club activities, serving as Utah-Idah- o district governor in 1935-3- 6 and is at pre-sent an international counselor of that organization. For several years, he was publisher of the South Cache Courier at Hyrum. SERVICES HELD FOR UOPEZ SR.

Norfleet officiating. Mr. Lopez was born January 30, 1893, at Chamisal, N.M., a son of Emelio and Melesinda Lopez A resident of Bingham 23 years, he was employed by Utah Cop-per company.

Albino Lo-pez Jr., US army; Gilbert Lee Lopez and William Fred Lopez, US navy. Interment was in Bingham cemetery under the direction of Bingham mortuoary. B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp The four freedoms are getting quite a little jostling around these days, but good old "com-mon sense" will eventually take command. If Solomon was only alive now, boy what a beating he'd take, trying to iron out the kinks of our present day labor strife. Who knows, oerhaps the old boy may have a successor a-- 1 round about somewhere. Very nice basketball game at the Murray gym last Friday. You should have seen the proud fa-- ! thers watching their sons per-- i form, as they all used to- After the Bingham high courtiers had tucked away another victory, smiles like ripples on a rain bar- - rel creased the papa's pans. Ev-ery boy played good ball, and of course each one made mistakes, but Dad's facial expression just kept getting broader. Final score Bingham 41 Murray 34. Tonight Bingham will face some very stiff competition in the Grantsville Cowboys. I shall go out on the proverbial tree branch and lake the Min- - ers by the narrowest of mar-gins. (After thought) "Don't fall me boys, I wagered my Last sugar coupon on you!" BDAA membership cards are still good for this game. Mem-bers must present cards at the door, and only your immediate family are included, men and wife and children under 16 years of age. The state Round Robin bowl-ing tourney got under way last Saturday and Sunday. George Abplanalp led the Bingham bunch in the opening round with 1122 for his six games. The only hih series rolled were by Jack Wignal- l- 1216 in Class A, and a 1213 by a Class C man. With three more sessions to be held, the local boys all still have a chance to place in the money. BDAA women bowlers are hot after the flag in the Ritz league. Tuesday they forged into second place, just three games behind Wasatch Oil, by taking all four from Vern Coggles. The girls had a nice series, 2319, with games of 734, 833, 752. The BDAA entry at Southeast stubbed their toes and lost to Coon Chicken Inn 3-- 1, but are still in the running. In the Gemmell Major loop, the standings tightened up a bit as both leaders drowned a ser-ies. Uinta club took all four from Princess theatre, and the lowly BDAA quintet copped 3 of 4 from Bingham Merchants. Geo- - rge. Sluga was high for the ev-ening with a 633 series, nosing out George Abplanalp's 631. With a little more rest, these Bingham bowlers are going to be hard to beat. WEATHER REPORT According to Joseph Spendlove, weather observer at the Utah Power and Light sub station, the weather for the week January 18-2- consisted of three part cloudy and four cloudy days.
