been caught IN the coal mine
struggle between John L. Lewis
and the mine operators.
Most of the local mines are
only charging the regular price,
$3.50 or $500 per ton-.sfeF~a-the
coal. In this instance, 1T also
turns out to be a profitable busi-
ness for the truck operators, as
they are receiving at least $4,000
and more for the coal in the coal
hungry cities.
OldtimerS in the area said they
could not recall having ever seen
such a cavalcade of trucks as
have moved over highways and
backroads in this section, includ-
ing Noble, Muskingum, Perry,
Guernsey, Monroe and Morgan
counties.
AS trucks leave the promised
land with their coal, others are
en- route to this area.
Trucks line up and wait from
the wee small hours of the morn
ing until midnight. At least "a
! trucks were counted at a local
mine this week at 600 o'clock in
the morning.
In a proclamation this week,
Gov. Frank Lausche ordered the
state highway patrol to protect
all trucks carrying the precious
fuel and there has been no trou-
BILE with pickets in this section
Basketball fans in this section,
who are attending the tourna-
ments at GAINESVILLE and Mariet-
ia, bucked coal trucks all the
way, coming and going, and SO
far the picture hasn't changed
one bit, except the traffic is get
ting heavier.
In the meantime strip mine
operators are loading as many
cars of coal as possible and ship
ments are going out night and
day over the railroads.
Coal emergencies have been
declared in all principal cities
throughout Ohio and every eff
fort is being made to conserve
coal.
|. Noble county, more fortunate
than others, has never felt the
results of this nationwide strike,
since they are located in the
heart of the strip mining opera
tionS.
But the picture throughout the
nation is a gloomy one and the
outlook is anything but bright.
