Coal Strike Spreading
To All u. 8. Mines
BY JACK VINCENT
Init News Service stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-A
nationwide coal strike was
slowly but methodically being put
into effect by the United Mine
Workers Union today to back up
John L. Lewis demands for a
union shop for the $4,000 striking
miners in coal pits owned by Big
Steel corporations.
Despite threatened crackdowns
on labor by an angry Congress
and an indignant President Roose-
Welt, the strike was spreading
amid sporadic disorders-from the
company-owned mines of the steel
mills TO independent commercial
mines.
A few of the commercial mines
were shut down by sympathy
strikes yesterday. more were to
be closed during the day, and by
the end of the week most soft
coal mines of the country are ex-
pected TO be idle.
SET FOR GENERAL wALKoUT
No orders for a general strike of
the 100000 UNIV miners were is
sued by Lewis. but word was
flashed to strike headquarters in
Washington that the miners in the
field are set for such walkout,
and are methodically carrying it
out. International officers of the
union made no move TO counter
mand the movement. thus giving
II tacit approval.
Lewis, meanwhile. stood ready
and willing-to sign individual
