Telephone Strike
Seems Imminent
<Bv The Associated Press)
The 732,000 striking United
Mint Workers continued to defy a
fedora 1 court order today by re
fusing to work while hardship
from coal shortages .spread like a
, rash in the nation.
And the Friday deadline for a
strike of 100,000 CIO telephone
workers in the Bell Telephone
System neared with no indications
that it may be avoided.
In the coal strike, government
lawyers pondered further, more
hpecific court action. There was
talk of seeking to name UMW
president ^John L. Lewis and 24
of the union’s district presidents
in a contempt action set for hear
ing in Washington Friday.
A. U. S. Chamber of Commerce
spokesman charged Lewis with
“tactics which are little more than
legalized blackmail.”
FBI agents were reported busy
in the coal fields where reports
told of violence by roving gangs
of pickets against non-union coal
miners who tried to work.
A White House spokesman dis
counted rumors that the govern
ment was planning imminent
seizure of the mines.
Meanwhile, the reports of emer
gency action for coal conserva
tion by states, cities, railroads, in
dustries and schools piled up.
Chicago’s brilliantly-lit State
Street was dimmed last night by
voluntary action of the big Loop
merchants. Cleveland turned off
4.000 streets lights. Indiana au
thorized utilities to cut electric
service 24 per cent.
Idleness in steel mills and other;
coal-fueled industries rea c h e d
55.000 and was due to zoom as
dozens of shutdowns were map
ped.
At least 49 schools were closed
in eight Illinois cities, giving 24,
000 students unscheduled holidays.
In the telephone dispute, head
federal mediator Cyrus S. Ching
reported to President Truman’s
labor assistant John R. Steelman,
Joseph A. Beirne, president of the
CIO communications union told a
Nashville audience last night a
walkout seems inevitable and the
union will try to disrupt phone
service if the strike comes.

of Colombia long ago learned to
waterproof tjieir clothing with
the sap of rubber trees.
