Churchill spent much of the week-end in conference with MaJ. Clement Attlee, deputy prime-minister and leader of the Labor party; Sir Stafford Cripps, lord privy seal, and other members of the war cabinet. It was indicated that Churchill, adopting the course which his advisors had recommended, would demand a vote on the most hostile of a series of motions on the direction of the war, a motion which attacks him directly in his capacity of minister of defense.

Adoption of such a motion would mean Churchill's resignation. WEST PENN GO.

'Doctors believe that the condition was brought on by dampness in the mine where Goe works. He is employed at Star Junction. midnight tonight if the threatened f-trike by Local -Workers Organizing Committee, CIO union, has not been settled by that time. "This local union has employes in the Springdale and Ridgway power stations of West Penn Power company. -The strike threat involves not only the principal generating station of West Penn Power company at Springdale, but is coincident with a threatened strike of other CIO locals in power stations- of Ohio Power company.

One of these locals is at Windsor power station which is jointly owned by West Penn Power company and Ohio Power' company. Springdale and Windsor power stations supply almost all the electric services for this area. Conferences Under Way "Conferences between the union and West Penn have been going on for some time and are continuing under the auspices of the United States Conciliation Service which agency is making every effort to forestall an interruption to the power supply. "If these power stations are shut down, all industrial production in the area will stop and all uses of electricity will be reduced to an absolute minimum. "West Penn states that it will distribute, such power as can be made available and expects to have sufficient energy for the protection of life, health and property.

Essential community services, such as hospitals, water pumping plants, gas, communications, transportation and municipal services will be maintained, if possible. "However, even these uses of electricity will have to be reduced to bare essentials; Homes will have to reduce electric consumption to a fraction of normal use. For instance, the average should only for refrigeration and the minimum requirements for lighting and cooking so that a minimum number of units is in use at any one time. Where electric water heaters are installed, as little hot water as possible should be used. The use electric washers, irons and other household appliances should be postponed until service is restored to normal "All retail stores, banks, business offices, theaters schools and newspapers will have to reduce their use of electricity drastically.

Some May Close "Some businesses may have to close, since the following uses fo electricity will have to be entirely eliminated: all interior and exterior signs, show windows, show cases, outline and ornamental lighting, all outdoor lighting, except for municipal services and for protective lighting; all air conditioning. General interior lighting should not be used, or else be reduced to the very minimum. All other uses of electric services, such as for refrigeration and cooking in commercial establishments, should be used sparingly. "There will not be enough electri- city for any industries, regardless i of the necessity of its war or civilian i production. Electricity will not be I available for production in coal mines, steel mills or other industrial plants.

Essential Services "It is expected that with complete co-operation in this drastic reduction, there will be sufficient electricity to provide essential community service and to prevent floods in mines, fires in steel and glass plants and explosions. "With the strike threatened for midnight tonight, plans to close down industrial operations have to be made in advance, especially by large companies. Even if the United States Conciliation Service is successful in its-attempt to effect a settlement before midnight, there will be some loss of work and of production in many industries because of these advanced preparations. "While there is every hope that this strike will be averted before 6 o'clock tonight, West Penn Is requesting all customers to restrict their electric consumption immediately after midnight tonight. "Customers will be a i through radio and newspapers announcements when full use of electric services can be resumed.

Tele- pone inquiries to the local West Penn offices will be answered as rapidly as possible." THEATRE TIME SCHEDULE Monday, Jane 29 At 4:12, 10:04, "Powder 4:25. 7:21, 10:17. at the 7:13, 10:00.

NAVY WEEK TO station In the Uniontowa postoffice, so that recruits may be examined and accepted without being sent into Pittsburgh.

Every night this week there will be a big event at the stadium, many of them of especial interest to men, but all of general interest also, and at least 5,000 men, women and children are expected to pack the stadium each night. The events for the week, all at 8 p. m. except on Saturday, will include: Tuesday--Headline boxing show, free, at South Union, with eight top-notch bouts scheduled.

OUTLOOrTTOR- (Continued from 1) proximately 95 per cent converted to war production but that big inventories in the hands of dealers and distributors will serve as a cushion for civilian consumers for a few months.

Asked about the outlook for consumers, he replied: Outlook Bad 'The outlook for the consumer is very bad. If we are going to meet our objectives the consumer will have to give up many of the things which he would like to have. "I think We will, however, have enough food and we will have enough clothing. We will have shoes. We may not have all the shoes we want or all.the kinds that we want.

However, we will have enough for the necessities of life although we will not have much for the luxuries and comforts of life. "Civilians will not be able to build new homes. They may not have rubber for their automobiles for pleasure driving. I believe, and confidently expect, that by some method--I do not know Just what one today--we will be able to take care of their needs in essential driving; by that I mean getting them to and from work, particularly work in the war plants, and the absolutely essential civilian occupations.

Uniontown, Pa- DRASTIC ELECTRIC STOPPAGE THREATENED TONIGHT Power Company strike at midnight tonight as they threaten to do, there will be ALMOST NO ELECTRICITY for this entire area. This will mean a stoppage of all industrial activity and normal life in this community. Mines, mills and factories will be unable to produce. Homes, stores and commercial businesses will have only a minimum of electricity for operation.

To conserve a little electricity there may be available for essential services for the protection of life, a and property, it will be necessary for YOU to reduce YOUR use of electricity drastically. Although there is every hope that the strike will not occur, the following curtailments of use of electricity should be made at midnight tonight: In Your Home Use electricity only for refrigeration and for minimum lighting and cooking requirements. Arrange cooking on electric ranges so that a minimum number of units is in use at any one time. If you have an electric water heater, use hot water sparingly. Postpone use of your electric washer, iron and other household appliances until electric service is restored to normal.

In Commercial Enterprises, Schools, Institutions Eliminate a i conditioning, interior and exterior sign lighting, show window and show case lighting, outline and ornamental lighting, lighting for decorative, display or advertising purposes, and all lighting. If possible, use no interior lighting; if not, keep it to a bare minimum. Use refrigeration and electric cooking as sparingly as possible. In Industrial Businesses, Mines, Mills And Factories Use no electricity for production. Use it only when necessary to protect life and property and to prevent floods, fires and explosions.

hi Essential Community Services Hospitals, water and gas pumping plants, transportation, communication and municipal services will be provided electricity if possible. However, these services should curtail their uses of electricity to the barest minimum. YOUR cooperation should make it possible to supply essential services, and to prevent floods, fires and other disasters. However, if there is not enough electricity to do this, it will be necessary to completely eliminate electric service to some areas. The United States Conciliation Service is making every effort to avoid this shutdown and the resulting paralysis in Western Pennsylvania.

You will be advised by radio announcements and newspapers when full use of electricity can be resumed, Our offices will answer phone calls as rapidly as possible..
