Show County Seeks More Coal For Citizens j Utah county and Columbia Steel officials Friday united behind a program pro-gram to secure additional coal for use by Utah county citizens, many of whom are defense workers engaged en-gaged In construction of the steel plants and Geneva and Ironton, it was reported Monday. Telegrams to Governor Herbert B. Maw, and members of the Utah congressional delegation were dispatched dis-patched Thursday night by officials of the four groups urging that drastic dras-tic action be taken by the govern- ment to speed up :oal production in Utah. Unless some method is devised to increase the coal production, residents resi-dents of Utah county may suffer greatly and many workers at the Geneva and Ironton plants of the Columbia Steel company will leave, thus retarding progress of these vital plants. Records and Tacts pertaining to the coal shortage in this area were presented to Governor Maw and other state officials some time ago. |
