The strike, which Sunday night became inevitable, has been a fairly peaceable one. .Coal' miners in Carbon and Emery Counties did not report for work. Monday morning at Utah coal mines but went fishing instead because a new contract had not been negotiated by the Sunday midnight deadline. Graveyard shift men did not report; everything was reported y eaceful. William-McPhlof Price, vice president of district No. 22, United Mine Workers of America, at this time stated, that he had received no word from the union International Policy, Committee which would point to a quick soof the problem. lution ' We are not on strike we simply will not go back to work, said the miners, most of whom back John L. Lewis, U. M.. W. A. president strongly. Reason for their belligerent attitude .was not money-founde- d apparently because miners, many of them witli sons in said that they would work for $50 per month if arrangements were, made that mine- operators . get no share in profits accrued through coal sales. Miners still remained way from work Tuesday awaiting ment of, the dispute between the ooerators and 'the or government Intervention. The situation was still peaceable . . . picketing and violence were conspicuously absent .and miners continued to enjoy themselves fishing, loafing and relaxing. Since this was the second time the mines had been closed during the current disputes, miners were experienced strikers. Most of them at this time expressed hope . for early settlement and were disgruntled at delayed negotiations. Less than normal stocks ' of coal were reported on hand from all over the state.' Usage, season-a- l demands and substitutes would determine how long this would last. Transportation appeared as the most serious' problem resulting from cessation of production for railroads reported only the norami summer stockpiles on hand for use in engines and other burners. Utah Power and Light and Utah Copper Company reported normal supplies. All coal held in railroad cars was frozen subject to government orders. Wednesday night some coal miners returned to work in response instruction from John L. Lewis and the International Policy Committee but more remained away until' Thursday pending direct instructions. . the-army- , mine"-Worker- s' . . Although the volume of scrap receipts at dealers yards was reduced by cold weather, shipments to consumers showed an upward trend during the first quarter of 1943, causing a 12 per cent drop in dealers stocks from 108.1UG short tons, (revised) on hand January to 94,989 tons reported March 31, according to the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of- - Interior. Comparing total dealers transactions in non ferrous scrap during the first quarter of 1943 with those of the first three months of 1942, shipments from dealers to consumers were up 19 per cent, receipts by dealers from all sources of supply were 17 per cent higher, and stocks of scrap dealers yards averaged 19 per cent higher during the first quarter of 1943. Even considering the seasonal' drop during the cold months, the total business transacted was far above that of the period a year ago. COLUMBIA STEELS HUGE NEW.
