Hope Growing
For Break in
Cement Strike
By FRANCIS P. DOUGLAS

District builders and con-
crete mixers hope there may ne
a break this week in the strike
which have closed cement mills
and put a damper on conStruc-
ton here.
Meetings have been set for
Tuesday at a number of the
closed plants where formerly
neither management nor labor
has seen any reason for meeting.
Robert H. Moore. associate
director of the Federal Media
ton and Cancellation Service,
said hope for settlements is
growing. He said the Tuesday
date has taken on significance
because of the sudden schedul-
ing of meetings which had been
resisted earlier.
IS Plants Closed
The strikes have closed about
IS of ITO cement producing
plants throughout the country.
Most have been in progress
since about July l. There were
forecasts of thousands being
laid off here, but the layoffs
haven't yet materialized at the
scale expected.
C. A. Wharton, director of
the Districts Unemployment
Compensation Board, said yes
terday the strikes have hardly
caused a ripple" in the boards
activities. He was puzzled by
the situation.
about Is per cent of our
business last week came from
the construction industry. but
that's normal" he said. He
said there were about 600 initial
claims for unemployment COM
pensation; Is per cent of that
number would be 70.
Workers Laid OF
Normally six mills supply
most of the cement needed in
this area. They are in Mary
land, Virginia. West Virginia
and Pennsylvania. Five are
closed while one in West Vir-
ginia is still producing and sup
plying part of the requirements
here.
Y. K. Howat, treasurer of the
Howat Concrete Co., Inc. said
his company had had enough
cement on hand to operate until
July 10. Then, he continued,
the company had to close down,
laying of about SO workers.
The Maloney Concrete Co.,
supplied with cement from the
still operating plant in West
Virginia, is still making deliv-
cries. But Roy Bonavita, presi-
dent, said operations are down
about so per cent. Shorter
work hours have taken the place
of layoffs. he said.
He estimated that there had
not been many shutdowns of
building jobs. The situation
here has been relieved by ship
ments from as far away as De-
troit and Canada, he asserted.

he is general manager, is rum
