Show FRIDAY. JANUARY 11. U24 THE SUE, PRICE. UTAH EVEBY FRIDAY STRIKE OF MINERS IN APRIL, NEXT, HOW AS QUITE UKLIKE1V WASHINGTON, D. C.t Jan. 5. With fuur thou wind three hundred soft coal rniuea throughout the country idle at the present time and the newly elected delegates to the United Mine Workers convention preparing for their annual contract with ojterators to discuss a new wage agreement, indications multiply that the public will be spared this year from the. pangs of another strike in the big eal industry. Neither o wrators are in the mood miners for another protracted struggle. The miners, through their official sjkes-muare professing keen desire to continue working. The biggest elouds in the sky at the present time, they say, are those kicked up by certain nonunion operators who desire to see a strike because it would enable them to run their mines fulltime. Rome of the owners of the four thousand three hundred idle urines, too, the miners charge, would not be averse to a strike, because at its cluse they could resume opera! ions a pntaiect unlikely for many months to come if there is no strike. ' Union ojierstors whose mines are nr n, running join the miners in poohpooh-in- g strike rumors. Phil Penna, an Indiana leader high in bituminous operators councils, is out with a denunciation of attempts to alarm the country with unwarranted strike predictions. His contribution apiwara in the official organ of the operators organisation. He wants such business stopped. Miners and operators w ho met in Cleveland, 0., yesterday to fix a time and place for holding the next joint conference to arrange a wage scale took a long step toward averting a strike. In recent years' it Iikb keen impossible in some instances even to get the iarlies together. Now they are amicably arranging their meeting and fixing it in advance of the miners annual convention. Heretofore the operators have nailed to see what the miners would do. The miners convention to be held at Indianapolis, Ind., January JMd, will reflect accurately the sentiment of the workers with respect to their course after April 1st, next, wben the present wage agreement expires. Delegates to the convention will come fresh from the coal fields, elections having just closed, and will carry the instrucliona of their fellows at home. Tliere will be about two thousand delegates, but it is likely that the important task of framing demands on the operators will be worked out in committee with the aid of John I Lewis, president of the national union, and other officiate. Aa the aituation shapes up now it is unlikely that the miners will ask for another advance in wages. Their leaders are said to realise that the presen tation of such a demand would result, in all probability, in a strike. That would mean weeks, perhaps months, of idleness and the men at the mines have had bnt part time work for several months and are not all prepared for a long period of unemployment. Also a n mines strike would afford an opportunity to fatten on union idleness, as miners officials see it, and this, too, is to he avoided if it can he done. In all likelihood the miners will be content to renewtheir present wage agreement. They want a two yean contract this time instead of one running onlv one year, and in this it is reported the operators join. Almost immediately after the convention adjourns the joint meeting with the operators will be held with the miners committee. At least that is the present intention, it is reported here, and such joint desire is in sharp contrast to the tactics of other years when valuable time was allowed to lapse before a meeting was held. F.v cry move this year appears to be toward the end of hurrying the negotiations and closing the contract before alarmist rumors gain credence. One of Uie outstanding features of the present situation is the idleness which prevails at four thousand three hundred mines. Many of these mines, the workers assert, are high cost operations which work at a profit only when the price of) coal is above the normal. If there is no strike and prices remain at or near their present level, union leaders My, thousands of these Idle mines probably will stay closed permanently. In that way the miners are hoping to accomplish steadier working conditions at the ranaiaing mines. The has too many mines, they claim. Here is a chance to eleaj house and give the workers less part time employment at the remaining mines. And that, they believe, will lead to lower cool rosta which could be passed on to the general publie as well aa to greater annual earnings for the workers. At the present time most of the mines which are in operation are working only one to three days a week. Overproduction is said to be the cause of this Boors, The 1924 Model Studebaker Big-Si- x Sedan great basic industries of a country are the steel industry and the jwwer industry. He points out that California and the rest of the West are forging ahead in these. The steel industry on the larifie Coast, he says, has suffered from isolation from the pigiron production centers and was forced to use scrap iron and steel for raw materials. The industry, which was growing rapidly, faced the necessity of finding a cheap market in which to buy raw materials wben its scrap supply gave out. This condition, he explains, is being met by utilizing the vast iron snd coal resources of Utah by building a plant at Ironton. Utah is a very rehe continues, it markable state, contains a fifth of the minable eoal of the United States. It is rich in iron ores. snd there was found in Utah an excellent coking coal, limestone and iron ores of high grade, all of these materials being relatively free from imparities snd ranking well in quality. In fact, if these raw materials, which look down upon this coast, were moved east to Youngstown, O., they would rank very high. Probably you have noted the Western movement of the steel industry, the article continues, the most sign! ficant Western movement being that which culminated in the great development at Chicago. There were two fee-to-n making that. One, the low assembly cost at Chicago. That is, the low cost of getting the iron ore and coal together. And the other, of course, was the great growth of population. Those same two factors exist in this later movement toward the West the factor of markets on the coast and the factor of low assembly costs, the low cost of getting the iron ore and the coking coal together." non-unio- tiy evil. CARBONS COAL HELPS TO PUT CALIFORNIA ON MAP One of the reasons why Wiggington E. Creed, president of the Columbia Steel corporation and the Pacific Gas and Elertrie company, believes in the future of California is its nearness to Utah, be states in an article on the steel industry in the Bulletin, published by the Purchasing Agent association of Northern California. To quote his exact words: It (California) has a very great future because of its own natural resources and because it is related in an advantageous way, geographically, with the natural resources of the great state of Utah, and the development of the steel industry means the turning westward of Utahs development rather than the turning eastCreeds ward of this development. article goea on to My that among the k factory DR.

ORRIN ELMER OOLTOJf, UTAH e After shipping in what lime they j eould afford, not more than two hundred tons a year, for a number of sea- -' sons, fanners of Iowa county, Wis, and their county agricultural extension agent have worked out a plan enabling them to increase the amount need more than twenty-fou- r times. Limestone ex- ists on almost every farm in the county. This is now being pulverized on the farms by portable lime crushers, privately owned, which go from farm to farm for this purpose, saving the coat of freight, hauling and rehandling. In 1921, at meetings to lime in ue of growing legumes, farmers guaranteed to order twelve hundred tons, which was snffieient to warrant the purchase of a portable crasher. Over twenty-thre- e hundred tons were used that year and sufficient orders guaranteed to secure the purchase of a second crasher. Last year, according to reports to the United States department of agriculture, over five thousand tons of lime were used, four thousand eight hundred more than the largest amount before portable crushers were brought into the county, Apparatus has been developed in Germany with which the material of sunken vessels that cannot be raised may be salvaged by cutting them to pieces nnder the water.
