1otdl Through May ZU 14U
Unless the coal strike is settled
by May 20, steel production will
drop to almost negligible proper
tions, and remaining stocks Of coal
will be used to bank furnaces tc
prevent serious damage to equip
ment.
The coal strike is not affecting
tin mill production at the present
time because the steel industry. al
CPA's request. is maintaining pro-
duction of this item even at the
expense of other products. However
If the strike continues beyond May
Is, tin mill production, which il
urgently needed to preserve the food
pack, will have to be curtailed at a
rapidly increasing rate during the
following 10 days. Such a cutback
in the output>of ingots for tin plate
production would affect canning
after July !.
COPPER.
No copper plants are as yet shu,
down by the coal strike, but several
have indicated that it will be neces.
sary to cease operations in the neal
future if the strike continues. Two
reflneries with a total monthly ca.
pacity Of $1,000 tons of refined cop.
per will have to close. leaving only
16 per cent of total domestic refin-
ing capacity still in operation, or Q
total of $4,000 tons of refined cop
per a month.

A practical standstill in the pro-

per cent of plastic raw materials
and a serious setback In the ferti-
lizer program will be the four-fold
result of the closedown of the Belle
(W. Va), plant of E. I. du Pont de
Nemours 81 Co.. Inc, brought about
by the coal strike.
Operations of the West Virginia
plant have been restricted to the
minimum. Only the smallest amount
of coal Is being used to maintain
high pressure units at a minimum
temperature to prevent cracking and
to avoid any other serious damage
to the plant.
The Belle plant is the principal
producer of nylon, the basic raw
material from which Ilylon yarn and
ultimately nylon hose are made.
This plant is also the country's
larges producer of methanol, the
principal ingredient used in the
manufacture of automobile anti
freeze. Loss Of the bulk Of the
country's methanol production will
have very serious effects.
A shortage of urea, which is also
produced at the plant as well as
ammonia, will seriously curtail pro-
duction in the plastic industry. The
loss Of the ammonia output is ex-
pected to affect the fertilizer pro-
gram, as ammonium sulfate is
necessary ingredient of fertilizer.
UNRRA is demanding 100000 tons
of fertilizer for use abroad, and as
the steel strike brought about a
loss of 125,000 tons in ammonium
sulfate, any further curtailment in
its production will seriously affect
the fertilizer program.
STEEL
One million ingot tons of steel
were lost during April as a direct
result of the coal strike. which

duction Administration estimates
that losses during May will accrue

TIN. LEAD AND ZINC.
The coal strike has affected the
zinc and lead industries to such an
extent that two companies have
already closed down and third is
partly down. The Sandoval Zinc
Co., chicago, which produces 800
tons OF secondary zinc a month,
and the Willard Smelling Co.. Char
lotte, N. c., which produces 200
tons OF secondary lead a month,
are now completely shut down. The
New Jersey Zinc Co., Depue, ILL.,,
which ordinarily produces $500 tons
OF zinc metal month, Is partly
down. Four other companies 'ex-
pect to slose during May. One of
these includes SO plants employing
1000 and producing 5000 tons Of
secondary and fabricated lead a
month.
ALUMINIUM AND MAGNESIUM.
Almost all of the aluminium In
dustry will be closed down by July
! If the coal strike is not over by
the end of this month. It is ex-
pected that within the next seven
days the secondary aluminium smelt-
ers will be heavily hit by the lack
Of coal.
GRAPHITE AND MICA.
Mineral producing companies are
feeling the pinch of the coal strike
to such an extent that one COM
pany, which produces about 12,00O,-
600 pounds of carbon-graphite elec-
trodes per month. has found it
necessary to transfer coal from one
plant to another in order to remain
open for the balance of the month.
Another company, producing about
TOO tons of playground mica per
month FUSED for roofing, can op-
crate only until approximately the
middle OF May with its present
supply of coal.
BUILDING MATERIALS.
Plants manufacturing building
materials essential for the veterans
emergency housing program are
now suffering from the coal strike
Two building materials plants have
already closed and seven others are
about to close as a result of the
strike. Plants closed include one
brick and structural tile manufac-
turer employing 100 persons, and a
plumbing manufacturer employing
200 persons. Plants about to close
include: One plumbing manufac-
turer employing 500 persons. five
heating manufacturers employing a
total of 2,250 persons, and one hand
tool manufacturer employing 100
persons.
PAPERBOARD.
The paperboard industry reports
that five companies, employing a
total OF approximately 2,100 per-
sons, have from one to six. days
supply of coal on hand. Four plants
belonging to one company depend
entirely on the coal their trucks can

 Delivery of fresh fruit and vege- tables to four New England states virtually was at a standstiil as the terminal is the principal supply de- pot for Maine, New Hampshire, ver- mont, and most of Massachusetts. Unloading of ll0 freight cars was halted.
 The walkout began Wednesday when 20 Stevedores employed by the H. Harris & CO in Charlestown protested the hiring of Q World War II veteran employed there beforethe war. He was not allowed in the union then and his Army induction prevented his carrying the case further. When he returned to work the union protested that his hiring conflicted with a union regulation that Tho union man must loaf while lon-union man is working. " Name of the employe was not re- vealed.

 It was understood that General Francisco Franco and his cabinet decided not to send 8 formal reply to the charges. l.
