Remember? Grand Jury Met Mayor Hayes, Kelly One Year Ago
 Today.

One year ago today was "celeh- rity day" in the Waterbury grand jury investigation which led to the present trial. of g men on charges of conspiracy to defraud the city of more than a million.
 Mayor Frank Hayes appeared before the grand jury one year ago today-accompanied by his execu- tive secretary Thomas P. Kelly. Both were under subpoena but were kept in the courthouse only about 15 minutes each.
 Former Controller Daniel J. Leary was to have been witness on that day also, according to state officials. A subpoena was left at his home, but he was reported out of the city.
 Two weeks later, to the day, Thursday, May 19, the grand jury filed its 72 page report, citing al- legations of rampant corruption in Waterbury and Hartford, and recommending the arrest of 27 men on the conspiracy charges. They also recommended the arrest of five legislators.
 Other grand jury witnesse3s 8 year ago today were Carl D. Olsen, William L. Loomis, Albert John son. Hazel Birdsall and John Reilly, all affiliated with the Wa terbury Trust Company.

COAL STRIKE IS
 ALREADY BEGUN

(Continued from Page D subway systems, which carry mil- lions to and from their jobs and homes daily, were operating on cur tailed schedules, slowing the tempo of. the country's largest city. The third system will curtail its sched- ules within a few days. All lines are supplied with electricity by power plants whose coal supplies are dwindling and must be nursed.
 Half Million Threatened
 If management and labor adjourn sine die, Steelman warned, half a million miners and their families will be threatened with destitution, industrial output will be jeopardized and the $4,OO0 ,000,O 900 soft coal busi- ness will suffer losses to competing fuels which may be irreparable.
 Neither officials of the United Mine Workers of America nor spokesmen for the Appalachian coal operators indicated any willingness to continue the discussions further. Each negotiating group had the complete backing of its constituents, and there appeared ot be little req son, after eight weeks of fruitless pickering, to suppose they could ever get together.
 Many Left Their Jobs
 The negotiators had been trying to write a new basic contrcat for the soft coal industry replacing the 1937-39 agreement which expired March 31. On April l., with the ne- gotiations deadlocked, 340,000 miners in the eight state directly concern ed and 10000 in Alabama, one of 21 outlying states, left their jobs, shutting down mines which supply 70 per cent of the annual bitu- minous production of 450,O00, 900 tons.
 In the other coal-producing states, where contracts are modelled upon the Appalachian agreement, 126,000 other miners kept working under special extensions containing 15-day reopening clauses.
 Two weeks ago, the union served cancellation notices effective last midnight and tonight's midnight, and it was these miners who were leaving the pits today. Approximate ly 50,0O0 miners quit work in the outlying districts today and the re- mainder will quit tonight.

In the Collier report bulletin S12-B)

ally the wells appear to he wholly indie
pendent of each other" To explain this
the report says:
1.-THE small fissures noted in the Troy
Sweetgrass well may be parts of
fracture cones or even faults which
reach down into the Deyonian formation
and through which the oil reported in
that formation may have collected at
the base of the Ellis formation. If this
could be definitely proved to be the
source and method of migration of the
oil it would in part account for the
