It was learned yesterday on good
authority that there is a possibility
OF the entire Aetna-Standard mill shut
ting down this coming week, through
an inability to secure any coal for the
operation of the M;ngo Junction steel
plant, recently purchased by the Aetna
Standard Company. Heretofore all
the sheet bars used by the plant have
been purchased from various compa-
MES. In the purchasing of the steel
plant at Mingo Junction all this was
done away with. Now, owing to the
present mining troubles, coal is get
ting scarce, and so far they have been
unable to purchase any. Should this
state of affairs continue it will result
in the shutting down Of the Aetna
Standard, on account of being unable
to secure sheet bars, and will neces-
sarily cause the closing Of the steel
plant. All this week at the Aetna
Standard sheet bar scraps have been
used, and this will all be worked up
in q couple Of days
