A. N. Smith, A welfare committee reminiscent of the days of the nationwide coal miner work stoppage of last year has been set up in Carbon county and its duty will be to assist the county welfare which in determining families among the miners are most in need of assistance. Some suiplus commodities have been acquired through the welfare department and have been distributed to needy families in the various coal mining communities, instances where the man of the family has been laid off work or he has not been able to get enough work to keep his family in necessities. Thus far 300 sacks of potatoes have been brought to the county road by county department trucks and these have been distributed by the union locals. In addition, 29 cases of dried eggs and 101 cases of dried milk have been distributed. General chairman of the welfare committee is Adrian Anderson, Helper, with Earnest L. Cook, Standardville, as secretary. The presidents of all the local unions are serving on the general committee. Many of the mines in the county er Phone commerce Toll Charges Will he Eliminated ee have fallen off to a point where they are woikmg only one or two days each week and in cases of large families this is not enough to keep them going. However, Mrs. Evelyn Robeits, county wel-fadirector, stated that some of the laiger families will probably be given welfaie assistance if the man of the family does not get more than one day each week. Woikers who get two days or more each week are not eligible to welfare assistance nor to unemployment benefits. Latest leports are to the effect that some 145 men have been laid off at Hiawatha, while 20 have been laid off at Wattis and 40 at Spiing Canyon. It has been reported that layoffs at other mines are contemplated unless the coal business snaps out of its slump. James Brinley, vice president, District 22, United Mine Workers of America, and Arthur Biggs, district secretary-treasure- r, are awaiting a meeting with B. P. Manley, executive secretary of the Utah Coal Operators association relative to establishing a policy of laying off the newest men hired first so as the older employees pensions will not be jeopardized. ie ganization.
