steel Plants May Close.

NEW YORK. July 25-The whole
sale closing of steel plants through
out the country, and especially those
in the east which heretofore have not
been affected by fuel shortage, will
result if the coal strike is not settled
before August, the head of a large
steel corporation declared here.
Further falling off of operations
among steel plants caused grave con-
cern at their New York corporation
Headquarters. The Mahoning and
Shenango valley refineries were
among the latest to be reported hard
hit by lack of fuel.
Officials of Bethlehem Steel an
nounced they had banked fires and
discontinued production at two Of
their largest furnaces, with the re-
sultant loss of employment of hun
dreds of men. Every plant in the
east soon will feel the full effect of
the coal strike, 1t was declared.
Industrial coal was reported by
New York distributors today to be
practically unobtainable at any price.
The shop crafts strike has tied up
cars to such an extent that products
of the few non union mines still in
operation are tiled up at the mine,"
they asserted.
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, was in New York yes
terday, but declined to comment on
developments in the situation. He
predicted that the next move would
be made by the government, but re-
fused to forecast what direction gov
ernmental action might take.
