Production of anthracite (hard

is being choked off by anger Of
the United Mine Workers over
suspension of pension and well
fare fund payments.
Actually miners pentup feel
ings are aimed at Southern coal
operators who refused to make
any more 20-cents-per-ton roy

signed. =,
Most of the UMW's 100000
members in 20 States are expected
to be idle by nightfall.
Mr.. Lewis, UNIV president. said
suspension of the welfare pay
ments was necessary because the
fund is running low on cash. But
it's all part of the UNIV fight for
new contract. He's deadlocked
with operators after prolonged
talks.
Walkouts Start at Midnight.
Walkouts started last midnight

Anthracite Stoppage Is Surprise.
Only a few of Eastern Pennsyl-

showed up for work. They sat
around and talked for a while and
then went home. The great ma
jority never reached the mines.
Many industry leaders had ex-

continue working since the oper-

fund is administered separately
from the bituminous fund.
The United States Steel Corp.
said all its coal mining operations
in Pennsylvania. West Virginia
and Kentucky were closed with
$4,000 men idle. The steel cor

Pasture Rotution
Controls Parasites

A few years ago parasite
caused such heavy losses in sheep
and lambs in the northwest that
some ranchers were forced out of
business. Research and investiga-
ton by veterinarians, sanitary ex-
perts, and sheep men pointed to
Overgrazing as the underlying
cause of the trouble.
Rotation Of pastures and rea-
sonable growth of grass or sheep
and lambs were vital to stop the
heavy losses and avoid the de-
vastating parasites. Some ranch
ers, who practised frequent rota-
tons and the feeding of adequate
minerals the year around, were
relatively free from parasite
losses.
