INDIANAPOLIS; Ind, April l.
Complete cessation of coal produc-
tion by union miners was accom-
plished today, the first of their ma
tion-wide suspension of work.

United Mine Workers of America
showed shutdown in every field.

effectiveness of the suspension being

estimates that 500, 900 men were idle.
some operators, however, said the
extent of the suspension would not
be shown until Monday, apparently
expecting some men TO return to
work then.
No direct reports from union
agents among the non-union miners
had reached headquarters here at
noon. The complete tie-up of the
anthracite fields, where almost half
of the men are not members of the
union. was gratifying to the union
officials, who said this situation
would continue until settlement
was reached in the wage controversy.
Lost production of 100000 tons
daily of bituminous coal and approXi-
mately $1,000. 900 in wages was esti-
mated by union officials to have re-
suited from the suspension, while in
the anthracite fields the loss was
800, 900 tons of coal and 100000 in
wages. These estimates, officials eS:
plain, did not represent the maximum
capacity of the mines, but were based
on the production and wages of the
last few months.
For the first time in the history OF
the coal industry, union officials said
both bituminous and anthracite
fields were tied up simultaneously
and the union estimate was tina,
5000 of the $500 mines in the coun-
try were closed as a result of the
walkout.

operators. Since then the eight hour
day has spread into other fields. in the
past April j has been one of general
celebration among union miners in rec

future, union officials said. the day also
will mark the start of the greatest
strike in the unions history
An outward calm prevailed at the
union headquarters here, and officials
declared their program for the future
would be determined largely by deveI-

pension, they said. would be directed
largely by district leaders, scattered
throughout the coal fields. Response
