PAGE TEH FRIDAY, APRIL 95, THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD, BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS i Close STRIKE HITS MARTIN AIR CRAFTPLANT Fuel Stocks Growing Slim As Industry Faces Shutdowns On Defense (By The Associated Press.) The soft coal wage dispute which has set back production an estimated 30.000.000 tons since April 1 same up Friday before a mediation panel intent on quick reopening ot the mines. Some coal men predicted that the three-man panel would bring the reopening Issue to the fore at-'once by making a direct request to the miners and operators to resume digging and remove the threat of a serious fuel shortage from r.atlonaJ defense industries. While President Roosevelt's board got down to business on the coal controversy, CIO officials declared strike at the big Glenn Martin airplane factory nt Baltimore, and another CIO group completed balloting on a strike call against General Motor Corporation's 61 widely scattered production units.

The CIO United Mine Workers, headed by John L. Lewis, demanded a general wage Increase to S7 day, compared with $6 a day in the north and J5.60 in the south, scales which prevailed under the two-year contract which expired March 31.

Southern producers, however, withdrew from the contract negotiations declaring they could not continue in business If the wage differential were eliminated.

However, the southerners offered their on 11 per cent wage Increase. Lewis' group held out for uniform contract In all mines. Seriousness of the mounting fuel shortage was underlined by two official agencies. The war department said the shortage had caused "drastic" curtailment In production of ammonia, steel, textiles and other products needed for defense. The Bureau of Mines said only about two weeks supply of coal now was above ground, CIO leaders, who claim their organization embraces 3.20o of the 17 000 workers in the Martin airplane factory at Baltimore, announced plans last night to "picket the plant and call out our workers until we close It task they conceded might take "some time."
