Carbon county local unions of the United Mine Workers of America have been instructed by officers of the district to pay no further per capita tax to the Utah State Federation of Labor until settlement of differeneces between the p. I. O. and the A. F. of L. John Ross of Cheyenne, district president of the mine union, declared during a visit to Price the latter part ef last week that these orders have been sent out to prevent U. M. W. A. funds from being used by the American Federation of Labor to oppose the C. I. O. movement. He explained that at a recent conference, the federation pledged its membership to oppose the C. I. O. and levied a special assessment upon the affiliated unions to carry on the fight. Our withholding payment of taxes does not mean that we have a definite intention to withdraw from the state federation or desire to disrupt the organization, Mr. Ross said. However, we are not going to give the American Federation of Labor a club to be used against us. The local unions of the mine workers shall continue to collect the usual per capita tax as in the past and hold the funds in their treasuries, but shall under no circumstances pay any money to the state federation. These instructions also apply to Wyoming. The United Mine Workers of America is the largest organization affiliated with the C. I. O. Both are headed by John L. Lewis. The unions comprising the C. I. O. have been largely suspended or expelled from the American Federation of Labor. Utah-Wyomi- ng Not To RITES CONDUCTED FOR ROSS SHINER Squad Junior In State Playoffs Funeral services for Ross N.

Price Swim Pool Draws 600 Daily ; School Planned Price citys rebuilt swimming pool is proving more popular as a recreational center this summer than ever before, according to Supervisor Vernon Merrill, who reported Tuesday that the plunge is being patronized daily by an average of approximately 600 persons. Mr. Merrill said that plans are now being made for the annual swimming school to be conducted under the sponsorship of the Carbon chapter of the American Red Cross. The course will be given some time in August. school geology instructor, who has been interested in development of the dinosaur fields in this part of the state, announced Wednesday that a party from the Smithsonian Institute is engaged in prospecting for dinosaurs on North Horn mountain, which lies south of Straight canyon west of Castle Dale. Members of the institute group are Dr. C. W. Gilmore, G. F. Himberg and G. B. Pearce. Accompanying them was Dr. E. M. Spieker of the United States geological survey, who discovered the locality in 1934. In 1935 Dr. Spieker and J. B. collected a few specimens that interested Dr. Gilmore, who is an outstanding authority on the dinosaurs. He decided to visit this area in search of more material, and thus far the work has been highly successful. Part of a giant sauropod, the largest known land animal of all time, has been uncovered. The forelimb is nine feet long and the shoulder blade six feet in length. This find was totally unexpected. The discovery is of importance to science in many ways. It affords new knowledge of the dinosaurs themselves and gives a new picture of the geologic history of the region in that formation in which the bodies were found was deposited after the Wasatch mountains were folded. It had been thought previously that the mountain building marked the end of the dinosaurs.

He said he had asked code members to enter into negotiations with the U. M. W. A. at Price, the date to be set later. Utah coal prices will be more likely to react more sharply to the coal act than coal prices in other sections, Mr. Sweet declared. He based this belief on the higher degree of price demoralization which he said has existed within the state during the last few years, but qualified his remark by pointing out that the degree in which the national commission would relieve the situation was uncertain, since its powers in intrastate commerce under the bill were still not understood. During the depression, Mr. Sweet said, many wagon mines started operation when members of owners families were thrown out of work. They peddled goal by their own truck or sold to independent truck owners who peddled it in turn.
