BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 4 (P.-
Alabama coal miners went back to
their jobs by the thousands today,
ending an eight-day series of work
stoppages which cut production here
almost to the vanishing point.
Both United Mine Workers off,

The major captive mines, pro-
ducing coal for industrial use, and
the four mines of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Co., United
States Steel subsidiary and largest
steel concern in the South, resumed
full operations. Commercial mines
also stepped up their output. A pre-

shifts at nearly all railroad CON

Says Captive Mines Would
Like to Run Seven Doys.

PITTSBURGH, May 4.-The
Government mandate of a six
day week in the Federally oper-
ated coal mines was cheered by
the steel industry and the United
Mine Workers officials here to-
day, while commercial coal oper-
ators commented that the order
left their situation unchanged.
A spokesman for the Jones &
Laughlin Steel Corp. expressed belief
that operators of steel company
owned captive mines would like to
run them even seven days a week, If
the manpower were available, to
meet the big demands of steel for
war
"As it is. we have to buy coal from
independent producers" he said. He
pointed out that coke, iron and steel
plants operate continuously seven
days week, with no interruption
except for repairs.
John P. Busarello. president Of
UNIV district S, called the order
tne nrSt step IN the right direction"
Three or four more steps and we'll
be In the clover" he said, referring
to the unions demand that oper-
ators guarantee a six-day week-one

tions.
A spokesman for Koppers Coal,
largest independent bituminous pro-
ducer. said the order "is okay with
U.S." but added that as most all are
already running on a six-day week
basis their status would not be
changed.
"As long as the war is on, it doesn't
make any difference" he said, "as
it Is difficult now to get up all the
coal the Government needs. In
ordinary times, however, it would be
hard for operators to guarantee a
six-day week because coal demands
