BY UNITED PRESS

The fourth general coal mine
strike in six months swept the ma
tion Monday, disrupting production
of war-vital steel and threatening
output of other war industries.
AS most OF the United Mine
Workers $4,000 members left the
pits. the steel industry already was
feeling effects of previous walkouts
during the past three weeks.
The department of interior esti-
mated the nation has on hand 100,-
100000 tons of coal, second largest
stockpile in history. Present rate
of consumption was estimated at
100000 tons per month, but con1
sumption usually increased in De-
cember and January.
The nations Supply included 75,-
100000 tons stored for industry,
sufficient for at least six weeks. But
unequal distribution of this huge
supply left many industries with
stockpiles sufficient for only two
weeks.
Coal industry spokesmen said
100000 tons stored in easements
represented an all-time record
stockpile for home owners, but here
again unequal distribution left sew
cral areas with critical shortages.
Small supplies were reported at
Detroit. Youngstow O., and
throughout the northeastern Sec
ton of the country.
The steel industry was affected
most noticeably. In the Pittsburgh
area, stockpiles depleted by previous
walkouts were reported sufficient
for six to 18 days, and some steel
mills were expected to begin taper
ing off production within a few
days.
Steel production had been cur
tailed in Alabama for several days,

yesterday announced he planned to
prosecute an employer for hiring
a man who had been discharged for
loafing before the 60 day expira-
ton limit between jobs as required
by WPB ruling.
THE WPB order specifically
states that a man who has laid
down on his job in order to force
his discharge cannot be employed
by another firm for period OF six
ty days and we are going to see
that that order is enforced to stop
this Unnecessary labor turnover

Finney said that several cases had
been brought to the attention OF

others were being investigated.
According to the order, an en-
ployer who hires a man before the

$4,000 fine and go days in Jail,
