A. Boyle, . president of the UMWA. "The coal industry can well afford to provide mine safety, to double the present pension and welfare benefit and to pay $50 daily to coal miners," he said. Boyle said that he has had the UMWA research and marketing department develop figures on wages, productivity and the ability of the industry to pay. He added that while the bituminous coal industry has been characterized by a phenomenal rise in productivity, it is increasingly unable to meet the demand for coal arising ' from the ever ascending national appetite for electric power. The big problem of the coal industry today is a lack of skilled miners. The ind in its polidustry has been cies, and has been unable to attract young men into the mines because of its failure to provide safe and healthful working conditions and to raise wages realistically, . short-sighte- Boyle said. The UMA president added that the average miners production in mechanized union mines has reached 30 tons daily against 6.8 tons in 1950. He pointed out that with this kind of increase m productivity, the industry can meet union safety, wage and welfare goals while retaining an excellent profit position. He noted that while productivity has risen up to 4 5 times in mechanized union dollar wages have mines since 1950, climbed only about 1.9 times and real wages have hardly increased at all." There was an average labor force of 415,500 working miners in 1950, By 1968, that force had been trimmed to 131,000. Coal production, however, was greater in 1968 than in 1950, he emphasized. out that by the end of Boyle pointed 1968, average output per man in all mines, union and was 20 tons, and that with rapidly rising productivity in the mechanized union mines, average national non-unio- n, productivity will exceed 22 tons per day by the end of the present union contract in 1971. If e mines and other small operations are excluded, average union productivity will almost certainly exceed 25 tons per day, and productivity in the highly mechanized mines will have reached at least 33 tons. Based even upon non-unio- n dog-hol- present price levels, the average union miners product at the mine head will be (Continued on Page Four) highway corridor okay signals design start By-pa- ss The green light for additional planning on the Price highway has been given with the acceptance and approval of a 2,000-fowide corridor by the Utah State Highway Commission meeting at Manti. by-pa- This corridor which has been designated for the highway is wide enough to encompass the alternate route proposed just east of the Blue Cut to cross the river southward and rccross at a point further west to keep the road from cutting through farm lands. With the acceptance of this corridor, the district office can go ahead with design plans which will be flexible enough to warrant changes if necessary following a public hearing on the design features to be held at a later date. The accepted corridor leaves present U. S. 50-- 6 at Blue Cut and parallels the old highway to the south along the north side of Price River through Price, thence eastward north of the present highway and north to Wellington to again connect with U. S. 50-at Cat Canyon. James Deaton, district engineer, stated the new highway will be directed as close to Wellington as possible without changing the highway users point of direction. It is estimated that the highway will be between one and miles north 6 of Wellington. The design is expected to be completed by spring of next year then will be presented to the road commission for presentation before the public hearing. Watches will be set back one hour. This lost when in effect will regain the hour watches were set forward in April. In other words, you will be able to stay in bed one hour longer in the morning but, if you are a creature of habit, you will be going to bed an hour later in the evening so you still end up with the same amount of sack time.

Although there is nothing in the law to prevent members of the same family from holding elective offices, Mr. Thacker apparently has reference to the husband-wif- e relationship of the Democratic candidate for president, Vanda Hreinson, who, until this announcement by Mr. Thacker, was unopposed for the town presidency, and Hubert Hreinson, a holdover councilman. Seeking election and unopposed for councilmen on the Democratic slate are Ruben Bera, incumbent, and Frank Pero. The names of Mrs. Hreinson, Bera and Pero will be the only ones on the ballot inasmuch as these were the only candidates who filed prior to the Oct. 17 deadline. in these discussions were Superintendents J. Grant Kilfoyle, Carbon; Orson Peterson, Emery; Robert Sundwall, formerly of Price, Grand; and Kenneth Maughn, San Juan; Dr. J.

The only statement for publication rcla- tive to this proposal came from the Southeastern Utah Economic Development-Districand 'is worded as follows: Our office for the past two months has been working with Dr. John Tucker, president of the College of Eastern Utah, in an effort to secure this facility for a vocational school in conjunction with and as a part of the College of Eastern Utah. Wlc have no knowledge or information concerning the use of the Center for drug rehabilitation: nor have we been consulted by the office of the Governor in connection with the satrie. Our office feels, however, that the use of the Center as a vocational school with College of Eastern Utah affiliation is a better and more acceptable use of the facility. t Second ticket in Helper race Progressive Citizens tag incumbents as nominees HELPER Three incumbents, Mayor Chris P.
