dustry here is the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility. Officials said the utility has a two-months’ coal supply on. hand now, against a one-month normal reserve. This coal comes from a utility-owned mine in West Virginia. At its Prospect and Langsdale plants, Citizens Gas has about 120,000 tons of coal in stock.
sylvania railroads refill their locomotive . tenders here, but local supplies are not so important to railroads because they can shift supplies from city to\city, as the need arises. : ; Supplies - Laid in. Ohio
For a time, the New York Central had- a ‘large stock pile: at" Beech Grove, but it has dwindled to’ a two’ or three weeks’ supply now. However, supplies: are being laid in at Bellefontaine, O.; which could help the road's locak situation. That the railroads use greater quantities of coal’ is shown bythe fact, that the: New York Central's Shelby st. roundhouse uses 20 carloads a day. The Pennsylvania railroad has some supply on hand but, like- the gas and coke utility, its coal comes from. southern Indiana. It. was re=called that in the last miners’ strike the southern . Indiana miners did not go out, . As. far. as the individual householder is concerned, his heating problems are pretty much over until Rex, fall.

H. A. Rogers, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Coal Merchants association, said coal dealers, on the other hand, hdven’t’ been able to stock up as much as usual because the public has been buying earlier this year. s | He pointed out a possible difficulty in getting substitutes for coke. The usual 100,000 tons of coke Indianapolis uses will not be
said, and coke users probably will have to depend upon smokeless coal from the East, where the strike would halt mining.

1800 City Teachers Voted Increase by School Board

proval. He explained that the plan is to start as many increases in September, beginning with teachers in the lower income brackets, as the revenue derived from the tax rate ‘already established for 1943 will permit. / State Boosts Minimum Some of the increases beginning Sept. 1 were required by the . new state minimum salary law which raises the minimum salary’ for beginning teachers in Indianapoiis, $250 a year. The raises required by law .totalled $43,000. In a statement following approval of the new salary schedule, the school board said that it could not “in justice and fairness to a body of teachers who have been faithful in every service grant increases to a few without making some upward adjustment of salary for others who have shown constant efficiency and professional advancement.”
Cites Duty Yo Youth
The board said that it was aware(2 of the great. problems of federal financing, but said that it also is attentive “to the important function of the public schools in training] and preparation ‘of young citizens upon whom the safety and welfare of the nation depend.” Principals and other supervising school officials will receive raises on the ‘same basis as the other teachers, the raises coming in their base rate of pay. No increases in salary will be granted next year to teachers who will reach the age of 66 before Sept. 1 this year or to teachers who receive a rating of lower than “good” in instructional effectiveness. In his statement, Supt. Morgan expressed hope that the maximums ultimately may be increased to as high .as $3000 for a teacher with a

The: prospects of a general: walkout were supported, . however, by Lewis’ statements. in New. York and the ‘number ‘ of miners who: had already : walked: out in. resentment over delayed settlement of ‘their. $2-a-day - wage: increase and other demands. The ‘threat of a ‘general strike brought ‘a warning from Irving S. Olds, chairman of the U. 8. Steel Corp., that a complete shut-down of the bituminous mines would close America’s war-vital steel industry within two weeks. Reserve Supply Small A strike, he said in New York,
operations immediately and we would just have to quit at the end of two weeks.” Olds said the steel companies have a very small reserve supply of coal and coke because of operating at close to 100 per cent. of capacity. Soft coal operators estimated that production had decreased more than 100,000 tons daily. Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treas-urer of the U. M. W.,, said there would be a strike at midnight Friday unless a new contract is negotiated by then or hard coal operators and miners agree on an extension of the present contract covering 80,000 men. These developments came on the eve of the first scheduled hearing on the dispute by a three-man WLB panel. Taylor said the panel would go ahead with or without the assistance of the U. M. W., but hinted that if current scattered strikes continue to spread that the board would suspend all consideration. Seldom a Formal Call Lewis has refused to say whether he will call a general strike, but after a meeting with his policy committee in New York yesterday, he said: “It’s still safe to assume that the mine workers will not trespass on mine property.” He referred to the fact that the month’s extension of the old miners’ contract expires at midnight
not work without a contract. Should Lewis issue a strike call,
would “cause a 20 per cent cut in :
Friday—and that coal miners do|S
however, it. would be unusual -pro-
cedure for in past contract controversies there seldom has heen a formal strike call, the miners simply refusing to work the pits when not covered by a contract. The situation this time is somewhat different, however, in that Lewis already has defied the administration by refusing to co-operate in WLB attempts to settle the dispute. Lewis yesterday called upon Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins to instruct bituminous operators to resume negotiations for a new contract. Negotiations stopped when Madame Perkins certified the case to the WLB last week, and only the WLB could turn it back to her. So, with the probability of the big strike becoming increasingly accepted, the question is what the government will do about it. The answer will be dictated by President Roosevelt, who recently has been on a tour of army camps. The general expectation is that the president will appeal to the rank and file of miners to stay on, or return to, their jobs. He could, if he chose, seize every struck mine and transform it into a government operation,
