MAD ON: Miners Out Let the senators mine coal, was the cry of many of the 180,000 soft coal miners in 10 states as they staged a general exodus from the pits just 24 hours after the labor act went into effect. Acting to avert a possible national calamity, the justice department immediately launched an investigation to determine whether an injunction can be brought against John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers union. y act contains a The provision authorizing the government to seek an injunction to halt a national emergency strike, but the President would be required to name a board of inquiry to report to him first. That would take days, perhaps weeks. Justice department attorneys were attempting to determine whether an injunction could be brought without using the new law. However, it was not immediately clear whether the miners had walked out of their own volition or had done so upon the instigation of John L. Lewis and other union leaders. The United Mine Workers uqioiis contract with the government expires June 30, and, since the miners traditionally do not work without a contract, their walkout was generally regarded as jumping the gun on the contracts expiration.

MidMajor supplier for a dle Western territory, the company said it was compelled to set up such an allocation system because of a 15 per cent increase in business over last year, coupled with a 30 per cent reduction in its refinery and terminal stocks. Gasoline consumption last year was 27 per cent higher than in 1941, the highest previous year. This year it is running fyrom 6 to 8 per cent ahead of 1946, not including the extra increase from widespread farm use in the Middle West. Other refineries had no immediate plans for rationing their gasoline supplies, although they indicated that the step might bte made necessary if there is a large diversion of business from Standard.

SALT LAKE DESK EXCHANGE 623 South State St.. Salt Lake City. Utah Office Hope of writing an international atomic control treaty before the United Nations general assembly meets in September virtually has been abandoned by the U.N. atomic energy commission. Deadlocking the situation is the now commonplace fact that Russia and the western powers remain diametrically i opposed on all major issues with regard to an atomic treaty. Andrei Gromyko, Soviet deputy foreign minister, told the commission that Russia never would agree to any atomic control plan in which the large powers had no. authority to veto the punishment of violators. The United States, on the other hand, is insisting that the veto must not be used to assist countries or individuals in escaping punishment for atomic crimes. Buy U. S.
