Pueblo Steel Plant Nearly Idle

The big steel works of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, located at
Pueblo, have practically closed as re-
suit of the cessation of work in all
mines in southern Colorado owned by
the company. Two thousand men were
notified when they quit work Saturday
night that they need not return to work
Monday and that they would be noti-
fled when their departments would re-
sumo operation.
The laying off OF this force, which rep
resents nearly half of the entire force
employed in the mills. was attributed
to the shortage of coal. Only IL cars
were run into the plant on Friday and
a smaller number on Saturday. The
prospects for increasing the fuel supply
