 Keech told union attorneys they could have a jury trial if they desired.
 WelIy K. Hopkins, chief UNIV attorney said he would consider over the weekend whether to ask for a jury trial.
 Assistant attorney general H. Graham Morrison asked that the trial start tomorrow. He noted that since the original court back to work order theer has been no increase in production of the bi- luminous mines of this country"
 Urging the need for speed in the case, Morrison said:
 At least 20 states have adopt ed emergency measures to take care of the coal supply.
 Virtually all of the nations cities have the same problem.
 eff this contempt is established in appropriate trial then it is the view of the government that the full power and majesty of this court" be used to get the miners back on the job.
 Hopkins objected to having the trial start tomorrow.
 Judge Keech then set it for Monday.
 The judge denied Hopkins for mai motion that the civil and criminal contempt charges be dropped and the proceeding be ended.
 Union attorneys had argued the court had no right to issue back to work orders to the miners.
 Replying to charges that the union is in contempt of the courts back to work order, the attorneys:

 LONDON, (P) - The total of seats won by the Labor party was equal late today to the combined total run up by the Conservative and Liberal parties. Only 92 of the 625 districts remained to be accounted for Thus it was doubt full that the Labor party, even if it emerged with the most seats, would have a workable majority in the House of Commons.
 The Attlee government and it's opponents each had won 266 seats.
 The Conservatives had 26O seats and the Liberals six.
 Speaker of the House Douglas Clifton Brown was reelected on the Conservative ticket but is re- gardcd as a non-partisan, The number of party seats in the new House of Commons therefore is 624 instead of the 625 total.
 The deadlock continued as the next two districts were reported. This made the standing: Labor 267, Conservative 26l. Liberal G.
 At the overnight recess in count ing, the Labor Party led Winston Churchilrs Conservatives by 6l . seats.

 The agency, which got into the tin business during the war and still operates a shelter in Texas, blamed the loss on devaluation of European currencies and the re- sumption of free trading in the metal in London and Singapore.
 It said prices here dropped within the past year from $1.O3 a pound to 7O.42 cents.
 The report had one bright spot. It said shipments of domesuc ores, largely from Alaska and Climax, Colorado, have increased over previous years.
