Although there was report that
a break among union miners had
occurred in the northern West Vir-
ginia fields, where, it is said, IS mines
were in operation, miners and OPP
orators alike asserted that the pro-
duction of soft coal was .paralyzed.
1t also was reported that some
union miners resumed work in one
Colorado mine when operators and
union officials agreed upon a settle
ment whereby operators would make
such wage increases as were later
made effective in the eastern fields.
Nondnion miners in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia were in opera
ton today with almost the usual
working forces. Union leaders ad-
mitted that because of the restrain
ing order, they were doing nothing
to induce nonunion workers to walk
out. In Ohio, FIVE of six stripping
companies were IN operation.
Consumers Affected.
With approximately 425,000 miners
idle, according to union leaders
claims, conceded by most of the OPP
orators, consumers were beginning
to feel the effects of the strike.
Thousands of cars of coal were being
confiscated by the federal railroad
administration, a few schools were
closed in remote places. and in a
number of communities water and
electric companies were affected.
While operators generally were
making no attempts to mine coal,
