Retail Coal Supplies :.
Already Running Low
In Mine Shutdown
by the Associoted pr.xs

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 1.-THE
coal mine shutdown-now in it's
fourth day finds industrial
spokesmen certain of only one
thing. The little fellow will be
the biggest loser.
John L. Lewis two week "me-
mortal" work stoppage started
with better than six weeks coal
supply above ground. Many big
industries had accumulated COM
Portable stockpiles.
But the householder with 2
ton coal bin felt not so comfort
able. And small coal dealers said
their supplies were already run
ming out.
The Government estimated 70
million tons of coal, As to so days
supply. was on hand as of March
l. The National Coal Association
bulletin, however. said the stock
pile was poorly distributed.
Retail Supply Low.
Retail coal merchants, they said.
had only about seven days supply
in their yards when the work stop
page began. The big surplus was
somewhere else.
A spokesman for U. S. Steel
Corp, one of the Nations biggest
coal users, declined to say how
much fuel the firm had in reserve.
But he commented, "at present,
U. S. Steel plans to continue
normal operations"
Chairman Ralph Taggart of the
Anthracite Operators Association
called on John L. Lewis to end
the work stoppage in the hard coal
fields. In another telegram, di-
rectors of the same association
told Mr.. Lewis: Homes, hospitals,
schools and other public institu-
tions are now short of fuel"
Coal miners themselves were
feeling the pinch. The pre-Easter
wage loss meant many wives and
children would be wearing last
years finery on the holiday. Fam
lilies of more than $1,000 railroad
workers. laid off because of mine
shutdoWns, would be in the
same fix.
First Violence Reported.
In Harrison County, w. Va, the
first act of violence in connection
with the mine shutdown was re-
ported yesterday State Trooper
P. .. Swiger said about 20 car
loads of pickets forced nine trucks
hauling coal from nonunion mines
to dump their coal on the high
way.
Near Pittsburgh. rowing pickets
also were reported molesting
truckers hauling nonunion mined
coal.
Sheriff Walter Monaghan of Al
legheny County said the James
Bros. Contracting Co. telephoned
him their trucks were being halted
by UNIV pickets. The sheriff said
he planned no action, and had
referred the complaint to police.
John P. Busarello, president of
UNIV District S, minimized the
complaint.
Probably just roadside chat"
he commented. Miners going to
visit somewhere see a few trucks
hauling coal. They stop and ques-

tyranny of absolute authority in government is
the triumph of leaders who know justice, are
merciful and are humble before God
Today the conflict between freedom for the
individual and rigid authority for the state is in
eruption throughout the world. Peoples who had
struggled for generations to gain precious liber-
ties are thrust back into the darkness of mate
rialism and oppression. At every hand the way
of the democracies is challenged by fresh aggres-
sions upon the human spirit
Sometimes these present problems seem be-
yond the power of any single man to cure. Yet
if each follows the simple truths of the prophet
we can all influence the outcome. 1t is for u.s.
who rejoice in the blessings of freedom so to live
our lives that. as nation we are an example to
the world. We can then restore peace and dig

Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, COM
manding the local Guard, announced

Robert L. F. Smith, Headquarters
Battery, 260th Anti-aircraft Gun
Battalion. He subsequently ac-
cepted O Congressional appoint
ment,' however, and his place was
filled by Pvt. Alfred A. Mathiasen,

Congressional Probe
OF GP0 Suggested in
Early Hoover Report

n preliminary report Ol IIlc
Hoover Commission suggests that
Congress may wish to make an in
vestigation of the Government
Printing Once to determine whether
complaints about the cost and
speed of operations Of the GPO are
justified, The Star learned today.
The Commission on Organization
of the Executive Branch, headed
by former President Hoover, made
no inquiry into the GPO operations,
because that agency is part of the
legislative branch Of the Govern
ment and not within the scope of
the commissions work.
1t was reported, however, that the
commissions inquiries into opera
tions of executive agencies disclosed
dissatisfaction with the GPO and a
tendency by some agencies to have
their printing done elsewhere. The
suggestion was made, therefore, that
Congress may want to look into the
situation itself.
Welcomed by GPO.
The reaction of the GPO to this
proposal was that it is a splendid
idea.
1t was pointed out by GPO off,
cial that some persons concerned
with the printing needed by Govern
ment agencies do not realize that a
rush job may require overtime pay
ments and that corrections, revisions
and DELAYS. after matter has been
set in type, are costly.
1t was pointed out that salesmen
for commercial printing firms some
times contribute to the dissatisfac-
tion on the part of an agency. For
instance, it was explained by an
official, a salesman might be told
certain printing job took the GPO
q month and that it charged 10000.
The salesman might say, We
could have done it in two weeks at.
O cost of $8,0O0,'" the Official went
on. But he may not know whether
any overtime payments were in
volved and the conditions under
which the work was done Also, he
may not have wanted that job, but
was angling for the agency's
next one"
Giegengack Proposal Recalled.
The Hoover Commission is re-
ported to have found that execu-
tive agencies operate 1873 printing
plants and about $50 duplicating
plants at a cost of about $25 1000 900
a year. This cost is in addition to
more than $47,0O0,000 the executive
agencies spent with the GPO in
fiscal year 1947.
1t was pointed out at the GPO
that, In March, 1916. A. E. Giegen-
gack, then public printer, proposed
setting up a committee of three to
which would be referred questions
raised by executive agencies as to
the service and charges of the GPO.
This proposal was renewed last year
when John ]. Deviny, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Giegengack, appeared
before the Appropriations Commit
tees Of Congress.
Mr.. Giegengack, in proposing the
formation of the committee, said
that, in many cases, criticisms Of
the GPO ARE made in all sincerity
by persons who do not realize or
have little knowledge Of the prob
lens, difficulties and technicalities
involved in producing printing job
eficiently and economically"
He added he believed q fact-find-
ing committee would be "of ma
terial assistance to all of us who
are charged with the responsibility
Of seeing that printing needs are
economically and efficiently met"
