Show Carbon County Strikes Are Being Ironed Out Latest reports from Carbon County indicate that the Coal strikes there are still unsetled, though they are being conducted in an orderly fashion, without any violence. Four mines are shut down because be-cause of the strikes, with approximately approxi-mately 450 miners among the strikers. Members of the National Nation-al Miners Union first struck at the Spring Canyon Coal Company, Thursday, a week ago, and were followed by members of the same union at the National, Sweets, and Consumers mines at Gordon Creek,, Monday. . . I Considerable of the trouble seems to have been caused by disputes dis-putes between the National Miners Union, and independent organizations, organiza-tions, which called the strike, and the United Mine Workers, of America, th. unicm which is affiliated affil-iated with the American - Federation Feder-ation of Labor. The Utter are not in sympathy with the strike according ac-cording to reports. W. M. Knerr, Chairman of the Industrial Commission of Utah, is on the ground at Gov. Henry H. Blood's request, to use his authority author-ity in trying to bring about a peachful adjustment. From Salt Lake City" comes the word that Gov. Blood has wired Administrator Adminis-trator Johnson for speedy action on the mining code, now - under consideration, as it. is felt that the settling of this code will have considerable effect on the outcome of the strike in Carbon County. Carbon County officials, at the outset of the trouble sent to the Governor for State troops, but this action was withheld by the Governor Gover-nor until such time as he becames satisfied it is necessary. - Probably considerable trouble, and much disorder has been .diverted .di-verted by the action of the three mines in Gordon creek, in shutting down operations completely instead in-stead of trying to continue with other labor. There is an adequate supply of. coal on hand to insure against immediate shortage, they claim. |
