Coal Miners Observe
6-Day Week, Produce
$4,000 Tons in Day
Virtually All CoIIieries
In Pennsylvania Field
Go on New Schedule
'y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAZLETON, Pa. Jan. 23.-Be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 tons of
vitally needed anthracite were
mined today as the Pennsylvania
hard coal field generally OBJ
served a six-day week for the
first time.
Virtually all collieries in the three
districts of the hard coal field in
the northeastern section of the
State were reported working, as the
Anthracite Committee of IL met in
Hazleton to interpret the provisions
in the United Mine Workers con-
tract with the operators covering
the six-day week
The committee conferred seven
and half hours, but announced a
decision on only one point under
consideration after it adjourned
without setting a time for its next
meeting.
Decision Split.
The decision, concerning a day
lost during a scheduled six-day
week, was split, with the committee
agreeing that miner who lost a
day because of illness or similar
cause is not entitled to time and a
WI
but one who reported for work on
any one of the scheduled six days
and was told there was no work for
him, is entitled to rate and half for
the sixth day, but no pay for the day
he was idle.
No decision was made on the
question of men on six-day
schedule who work a seven-day
week. However, an indication that
progress was being made on all
the points at issue was seen when,
about two hours before the meet
ing broke up, the operators and
miners representatives began ex-
changing notes. This usually sig
nifles the approach of an under
standing.
For the first Saturday of the
three on which the six-day sched-
ule has been in effect, miners
turned out for work 100 per cent
in the Hazleton area today.
3,700 Idle in Luzerne Area.
approximately 3,700 miners were
reported idle in the Luzerne County
area in District l, scene of a
three-week wildcat strike that
ended Thursday when the 10000
strikers obeyed President Roose-
velts order they return to work
at once.
These workers are employed at
the Dorrance and Prospect and
Henry collieries of the Lehigh VAL
ley Coal Co. and the Exeter COL
liery of the Payne Coal Co. near
Pittston. officials said they would
all be back Monday at the start
ing time of 7 am.
The first break in the miners
opposition to working six days,
pending Qualification of the time
and-a-half provision for the sixth
consecutive work day, came Thurs
day night when UNIV locals in
the Panther Greek Valley in Dis
trict 7 voted to work the six-day
week for the duration.

PLANNED HOUSE OF CARDS

The "planned economy" this nation is
living under has promoted high produe-
tion costs while demanding low prices
for consumers. The formula reads well,
but it doesn't work. You can't arbitra-
rily boost the cost of production and
hold down the cost of living.
This is being illustrated once more in
the falling off of new oil discoveries.
Wildcat drilling cannot be carried on
with hot air. 1t takes money-more
money than it did before the "war
boom" OPA suggests a government
subsidy" (mOney from every taxpayers
pocket), in lieu of necessary crude oil
price increase, to encourage the search
for new oil reserves which win soon be
desperately needed by this nation.
Petroleum Administrator Iekes has
recommended an average increase of S5
cents barrel, instead of subsidy. Oil
men do not want subsidies-which mean
taxpayer-financing of validating.
Many producers feel that the subsidy
proposal is an attempt to put the gov
eminent into the oil business.
A subsidy lodges the basic issue of
allowing prices that viii cover fair pro-
duetion costs. Inc people pay either
way, but there viii be less waste and
less initiation in production financed
with reasonable profits than with pro-
ductiOn financed with taxation.

Rcxin ia Fine for
Formers But Not
For Oil rrillers

Continued blessings on the farmers,
in the form Of downpours Of rain, de-
layed drilling operations on Midway
structure, west of Conrad, Pondera
county, this week. r. G. Tarrant's
Woods deep test was shut down, part
Of the time, but now reports depth of
1850 feet. Drilling win continue with
8-inch tools until the arrival Of string
OF finch casing which has been due
to arrive for so days past. That cas-
ing viii be cemented at whatever depth
the bit may have reached by the time
it arrives.
Mud begged down Tarrant's machine
which was being moved to new location
from the recently completed Anderson
well.
Rig builders were working on the
derrick at Tarrant's Conrad Butte well
and should complete early next week.
Efforts Of the Abbot s. Pond inter
ests to get casing for the first well of a
five-well campaign are thus far unavail-
ing although Pond made trip to Dem
yer and then to Washington in an eff
fort to expedite the matter. He win not
start the well until the casing is on
the rack, he states.

Fund 10 Drill
Iron Ore Bodies

Senator B. K Wheeler of Montana is
making an effort to have sum in
cluded in the U. S. Bureau of Mines
appropriation to finance the drilling Of
the Running Wolf and other potential
iron ore deposits of Montana. He APP
peared before the subcommittee, ask
ing that the item of $4,000 for Gin
vestigation of raw material resources
for western steel production (national
defense) be restored to 100000. In
support of his amendment he quoted
from a letter received by the senator
from DR.. Sayers, director of USBM:
preliminary examination of the de-
posits, which has taken into account
the limited exploration that has been
done on the several groups of claims,
indicates that the proposed exploration
may reveal reserves in excess of so mil
lion tons of iron ore. The Bureau of
Mines proposes to delimit the extent Of
the major known bodies of ore and to
explore for combinations of the known
deposits"
"You will observe that this is no
hit-and-miss proposition" said Senator
Wheeler. "From previous examination
you will note that it is stated reserve
iron ore may exceed 80 million tons.
Whether in peace or in war this coun-
try is going to need that ore.
"The deposits of ore mentioned above
are located in the State of Montana
and 1 have reason to believe that the
Bureau of Mines is so intensely inter
ested in further exploration to such
an extent that if my amendment is
adopted they will use this additional
money for that purpose"

No Shortage of
Imported Chrome
And Manganese Ore

cooling interest in development of
strategic materials is reported from
official Washington. The answer is in
the fact that all ships returning from
Russia and from Africa must have
ballast and they are bringing back bal
last loads of chromites, manganese and
other high grade ores which are giving
the United States greater supplies than
ever before It is reported that as a
result the South Dakota manganese de
velopment is at an end, as one of many
instances. It is understood that the $15,-
100000 chromite development on the
Saltwater may be curtailed and pos
sibly shut down as soon as there is
enough ore in sight for the newly
completed mill which will be shut
down until such time as national
emergency requires. At the same time,
mining experts agree that high grade
ores of Turkey, Russia and Africa are
being stripped to the point where use
of low grade ores will be necessary
throughout the world, after the war.
This may bring revival of both chro-
mite and manganese mining, especially
if western steel industry is developed.
At the end of the war it is believed
that the government plants win be
taken over by private interests, prob
ably at a fraction of their cost.

NORTH AFRICA

President Roosevelt returning
from North Africa where the gen.
eral political situation and the
Jewish situation has caused grave
concern, made a statement at his
nress conference that seemed to
imply that the United Nations
there were making the best of a
bad situation. One could gather
from his remarks that the matter
of General Giraud bringing $780,
900 French soldiers into the fight
doomed very strongly.
The President quoted from an
interview with Giraud appearing
in the London News Chronicle.
In this interview Giraud said:
II have the MOslem problem
and the Jewish problem and 1 am
dealing with both progressively.
I am not going to try to solve
them by stroke Of the pen iOr a
stroke of the sword. I know
