Miners Strike
Likely To Pass
Truman DeadIine
eRy Associated Preasl

WASHINGTON, May IA. -
Opinion in Capitol Hill circles to-
day is that the soft-coal strike
will be settled this week, but not
by the deadline set at tomorrow
by President Truman.
Lewis demands for royalties
and assessments likely will be
outlawed.
While vast numbers of miners
are back at work, many thous-
ands are still refusing to return
to the pits. Of Pennsylvania's
100000 only $4,000 are in the
mines, and the chief cry of the
recalcitrants is, mo contract, no
work"
They are continuing 10 adhere
to that principle despite renew
ed orders by Lewis to go to work
during the two weeks truce.
Others said their refusal to re-
sumo working is because they
have not been assured unemploy-
ment compensation.
$4,000 Refuse TO Work
In Ohio and Illinois practically
all the miners are back at work,
but in Alabama $4,000 have re-
fused to return.
Many of the steel mills in the
United States are at standstill
today because of shortage of
coal. That condition has affected
adversely automobile manufact-
urers, most of whom are not
producing cars.
Steel mill representatives stat
ed that, even though the strike
is settled this week, a month will
pass before the mills will be back
to normal production.
