MINERS ARE ANGERED BY HEAVY FINE

Intend To Stick By Their Leaders Is Indicated Following U. S. Court Decision Pittsburgh, Dec. s.—The heavy finest-imposed upon the United Mine Workers and John L. Lewis, their president, drew immediate hostile reaction from the miners themselves today. Thousands of miners milled in the streets and the taverns of the dingy mining towns of western Pennsylvania and West Virginia muttering defiance. Hundreds of miners poured into the coal center of Uniontown today to gather in taverns and other places where! they listened to thb radio. “Anything Can Happen.” When the miners heard the decision they became aroused. “They aren’s a ny demonstrations yet,” said Wiliam Hines, president of District 4, U.M.W., “but anything can happen now. These men think the government is trying to break their urtion.” “I don’t know how the government expects to get any coal dug with this kind of tactics. The miners are down in the streets now, talking the thing over. Nobody has decided what he will do,” he added. At Charleston, W. Va./ the fine drew an angry blast from William Blizzard, president of U.M. W. District 17, who said it was “proof that the Democratic Party has entered into a • plot to destroy the miners’ union.” Fine Denounced. “According to the fine,” Blizzard said, “the government wants the money either to bai ince the budget, grant a new. loan to England, or set up a new Pendergast machine.”

RAIL BAN IS PERIL TO U. S. INDUSTRY

May Close Many Plants In Chicago ' and Idle More Than 800,000 Workers, View ... - ■ Q Chicago’s 10,000 industrial plants will begin to close if the freight embargo lasts more than a few days, predicted Leverett’ S. Lyon, chief executive Officer of the Chicago Association of Commerce yesterday. Tlfe embargo, affecting all rail and express shipments except commodities for public health and safety, will become effective at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow. Coupled with federal restrictions on coal uses for electric power and for railroad passenger service, and with voluntary reductions in fuel consumption, the embargo threatened to clamp a strangling grip on the state’s industry and commerce. More than 800,U00 workers in Chicago and Illinois industrial plants will be out of employment within two weeks after the freight Embargo is clamped down, the Illinois Manufacturers Association estimated. A spot check of factories directly affected by the freight restrictions foreshadowed a gradual curtailment of major manufacturing, beginning immediately after the embargo and a complete closing of operations within 10 days to two weeks. Food, drug and essential products manufacturers in Chicago, it is pbinted out, are not directly curbed by the embargo, but all business will be seriously curtailed. The strike unemployed will include 191,000 workers in iron and steel plants; 11,000 in stone, clay and glass plants not producing food containers; 127,000 in electric machinery plants and 175,000 in machining factories, the I.M.A. survey shows. Other workers directly affected include: 55,000 in nonferous
