ing approximately 100 men.
Announcement of the move was
made by Karl E. Thielke, associate
regional labor representative of the
war production board in region 8,
with headquarters at Denver.
Decision to ask the mine 10 sus-
pend operations was made, Thielke
said. at a meeting in Washington,
D. c., in which participants includ-
ed Representatives of the war pro-
duction board tin-lead and zinc di-
visions, the office of manpower
requirements, and bureau of place
ment and the war manpower COM
mission
Outlining reasons for the decision
of the federal agencies, Thielke
said:
THE mine has a low grade ore
which, combined with the ever
growing labor shortage, has result
ed in low production of metal con-
tent per man employed The output
of the mine was largely lead, which
is not a critical material
The manpower needed to fully
operate the mine can be used to
greater advantage for the war eff
fort, at more productive mines and
plants"

statement of the war production
board that the nations zinc stocks
were now in sufficient supply to
meet war needs.
Also fresh in their minds were
the recent utterances of James
Douglas. director of the zinc divi-
sion of the war production board,
who ANNOUNCED in Salt Lake City
the government is inclined to dis
courage production of zinc in mines
where the cost in manpower is
high"
He indicated that the plan of
paying big bonuses to keep high
cost producers in operation has
greatly reduced possible zinc pro-
duction.
This, he declared, is because the
economical mines with developed
ore bodies have an acute manpower
shortage. Men in mines kept oper-
ating under government B and c
premiums would produce great
deal more zinc if they worked in
the mines that can operate on nor
NAL prices, he said
The A premium, which pays ii
cents a pound for over-quota zinc
produced, will not be affected in
any way by the new order Before
leaving Salt Lake, Douglas said:
For the past few months a sys
tenn of mine labor priorities has
been in effect, its purpose being
to distribute available mine labor
to those operators of high produc
tivity. The new policy reflects the
need to maintain present produc
ton from mines now operating ane
producing, which if accomplished
will bring production and require
ments into satisfactory balance. i
is believed that further spreading
of labor beyond needs of presen
mines which are already in mos
cases undermined. would not tenC

ginal mines which are high cos

Amalgamated
Men Lead In
Buying Bonds
Trolley And Bus Operators
Roll Up Impressive Total
Of $15,OOO,OOO

Members of the Bridgeport. New
Haven and Hartford Trolleymen
and Bus Drivers unions purchased
and pledged to purchase more than
$164,OOO worth of War Bonds i'm
1912, according to latest figures on
membership Bond buying reported
this week in the Norman, Con-
ductOr and Motor Coach Operator.
An estimated $15,OOO,OOO in Bonds
were sold or pledged by members of
the. Amalgamated Association of
Trolleymen and Bus Operators last
year as their part in raising through
the purchase of War Bonds a billion
dollars in revenue for the war effort
by the membership of the ALL,
says the magazine, which is the Of
fetal publication of the Amalgamated.
The trolleymen and bus operators
bought an average of $500 worth of
bonds per member.
Division 459, Bridgeport Bus Driv-
ers, led the way in Connecticut by
either buying or pledging to buy a
total of $4,000 in War Bonds. New
Haven Trolleyrnen, Division 281, was
second with its members buying or
pledging to buy $4,000 worth. Divi-
sion AIS, Hartford Bus Drivers, pur-
chased $4,000 in Bonds.
These figures are expected to be
surpassed when the final total of
bond purchases for trolleymen and
bus drivers are in, the magazine
says. 1t is awaiting returns of ques-
tiOnnaires sent i'm December to all
financial secretaries i'm an effort to
get a more complete total on the

Gas Savings
Are Praised
By State OPA
War Workers Abide By
Order Against Non
Essential Driving

II have nothing but praise for
the manner in which war workers
of Connecticut are abiding by the
emergency order against nOn-essen-
tial driving" declared State OPA
Director Chester Bowles, this week,
i'm an exclusive statement to THE
UNION TIMES.
Though the driving of all war
workers is technically essential up to
the amount of gasoline rationing
coupons issued to them, reports have
reached the State OPA that many
war workers haven't been using their
allowable mileage since the emer-
gency order became effective, said
Bowles
''I've been informed of many
instances where workers have been
driving to bus lines, parking their
cars and finishing their trip to
work ON the bus" he stated.
''Others are driving to the homes
of fellow workers and sharing their
car for the purpose of getting to
and from the job
OFFICIALS SUPPORT OPA
As proof that organized labor is
solidly behind the governments drive
to conserve gasoline and fuel oil,
Bowles also made public letters re-
ceived from James J. Clerkin, presi-
dent of the Connecticut Federation
of Labor, and John F. Egan, FEEDER
alton secretary-treasurer.
Il have contacted the various AFL
representatives. throughout the State
and urged them to cooperate in every
way possible with this campaign"
stated Pres. Clerkin.
II know that every member of the
Federation i'm Connecticut stands
ready and willing to assist in this
critical emergency. They have been
called ON to assist when this cOun-
try faced problems before. They
always cooperated, and can be de-
pended upon in this emergency"
MAY DRIVE TO MEETINGS
BowIes said that driving to union
meetings, where other means of
travel aren't available, is permits
sible for both members and dele
gates. However, these must be
wholly business meetings, said the
OPA official.

Golf Tournament

PEBBLE BEACH, Cal, Sept. 13.-
CUP)-Elmer Cites, 29-year-old
public links golfer from Stockton,
returned home today with his first
important golf title-the California
state amateur championship.
Cites won the crown Yesterday
by overwhelming 16-year-old Bobby
Rosburg of San Francisco, and 6,
in the scheduled 36-hole finals.
The smooth swinging Stockton
golfer, whose previous golfing con-
quests have been confined to local
competition in the San Joaquin
Valley, grabbed a staggering six up
lead in the morning round with a
four over par 76 over the Pebble
Beach course.
Rosburg, game little yoUngster
playing in his first major tourna-
ment, was unable to overcome
Cites early advantage and con-
graduated the new champion on the
30th hole of the match. Cites sue
ceeded to the crown won last year
by Johnny Dawson of Hollywood
Racing around the course at top
speed, elites and Rosburg wasted
little time hitting their shots and
actually had the gallery of 1000
fans running at times to keep up
with them. They played the morn
ing round in two hours and 20 min
utes, and the afternoon round in an
hour and 40 minutes.
