Miners Strike,;
Don't Know Why
PITTSBURGH, (/P) — Walkouts
<by soft coal miners yesterday
spread to three more steel com
panies which operate coal pits.
About 57,000 diggers are idle in
seven 3tate in the unexplained
wulkouts.
At least 30,000 western Penn
sylvania miners now are idle.
About 7,200 stopped work at “cap
tive,” or non-commercial mines,
this morning. The number pf idle
Alabama miners rose from 5,000
to 6,000.
In Virginia, 2,300 striking min
ers returned to work.
Industry sources think there’s
little chance of a general return
to work before Monday. The na
tion’s coal miners now are work
ing only Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays on orders of John L.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers.
Many of the idle miners don't
even know why they are not
working. The operators say the
waikout is another effort to needle
‘hem into signing a new contract.

Mission toFormosa

als for an unofficial mission to
Formosa by more than 100 Amer

done to save Formosa from the
Chinese communists.
Diplomatic authorities deported
