Fifty Pennsylvania mines employing 14,000 men were completely shut down. Absenteeism in other mines was estimated at 14.000 men.

Production loss was 116.000 tons of coal. In Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Illinois Steel officials said 12 to 15 blast furnaces will be closed tomorrow because of the work stoppage, which also affected production fh Kentucky, Alabama and West Virginia. A battery of coke ovens at the firm's by-products works in Clair-ton, was shut down this morning. Company officials said production was down to 16 per cent of normal.

April 4 (U.R) Soft coal contract negotiations were snagged again today, with no signs that the operators and United Mine Workers would reach agreement before, the Saturday deadline set by the War Labor Board. The negotiations were scheduled to continue today but there was none of the optimism for agreement that prevailed when the two parties concluded their last full session on Monday. Some of the operators were reported to feel that further negotiations were useless. They were said to be concerned over the retroactive payments involved and to favor immediate WLB intervention. Operators have estimated that the concessions for" which UMW President John L.

Lewis is willing to settle will cost $15,000,000 a month. They figure the retroactive pay is mounting at the rate of a day if Lewis should win WLB approval of those issues recommended by Secretary of Labor Fiances Perkins as a basis for settlement of the dispute. The WLB. meanwhile, entered another phase of the dispute as a result of work stoppages at mines of the American Rolling Mill Company. Montcoal, W.

Va. The board directed Lewis to order the men back to their jobs. The company told the WLB that the "men have decided It is wrong to work without a new contract." The old contract expired Saturday but was extended until through April to permit further negotiations. The WLB kept close watch on the return of miners elsewhere in the soft coal fields where production yesterday was only 60 per cent of normal. Solid Fuels Administration expected output to reach 80 per cent today and return to full capacity by tomorrow.

SFA, producers and the UMW blamed the drop in production on the Easter weekend "aftermath" and slow delivery of telegrams from Lewis directing the miners to work through April under the old coast of the Malay Peninsula some 400 miles north of Singapore. In addition, the broadcast said, the British were planning "forced landing operations" aiainst southern Burma and Thailand.

(Continued from Pais One) before Eisenach and Kassel, 40 miles to the northwest. Eisenach was by-passed in the drive to Gotha, and Kassel finally was won by doughboys of the Third Army's 80th Division after three days of the bloodiest street fighting since the Rhine crossing. Front dispatches said isolated German pockets still were holding out in Kassel. But the city was firmly in American hands and the Yanks were swarming through the streets to clear the remaining Nazis out with grenades and bayonets. United Press War Correspondent Reynolds Packard reported that Kassel was blasted into flaming rubble by the crossfire of German and American guns.

Long rows of German and American dead littered the streets and huge piles of abandoned enemy equipment were burning fiercely this morning. There were no immediate details on the French breakthrough into Karlsruhe, but a communique said French forces had won a new crossing of the Rhine at Lelmersheim, eight miles north of the city. Fa to the north, the British Second and Canadian First Armies raced for the German and Dutch 30th Division were rushed in to root out the Nazis at bayonet point. Other Ninth Armored forces teamed up with the American First Army farther to the south to tighten the ring about the Ruhr basin and a trapped German force estimated variously from 100.000 to 150.000 men. The Germans counter-attacked repeatedly but in relatively small strength all around the northern, eastern and southern ends of the pocket, apparently probing for a weak spot in the American wall.

Field dispatches indicated the Germans were trying desperately to reorganize their forces inside the pocket for a full-scale breakout drive to the east, abandoning their positions in Dulsburg and Di'essel-dorf at the western end of the Ruhr. A surrender ultimatum to the German garrison in Dulsburg was ignored by the Nazis. High-ranking spokesmen a Lieutenant Genpral Omar N. Bndley's American 12th Army group headquarters asserted that the American line around the pocket was anywhere from 10 to 40 miles thick. Scattered tank and Infantry counter-attacks by German relief columns east of the Ruhr were repelled yesterday and First Army troops captured the enemy strongpolnt of Warburg.

of 150 Sheets it had only a 14-day supply, Crucible Steel had enough for 14 days' operation and Pittsburgh Coke and Iron for six days. There were only scattered operations in Alabama fields, although miners were returning slowly. Most of the West Virginia miners were back at work. William Blizzard, vice president of United Mine Workers Distriot 17 in Charleston, said all but two mines in the Kanawha area were being worked. UMW spokesman Tom Price of District six, Columbus, said "several mines" in eastern Ohio and "two or three" in the southern district were idle.

Field offices of the Solid Fuels Administration reported that yesterday's production was 60 per cent of normal but predicted it would rise to 80 per cent today. The high rate of absenteeism, coming on the first scheduled work day after expiration of the United Mine Workers' contract with the soft coal operators, was attributed primarily to a "double Easter holiday." Some locals, however, said they had not received official notice of the 30-day extension of the agreement in time to notify miners to report for work. Operator Ezra Van Horn, chairman of the Joint Wage Negotiating Committee, minimized the importance of the stoppage, which amounted to an estimated production loss of 450.000, tons. "There's nothing unusual in this ltuatlon," he said, "it's customary for the boys to go back to work slowly after the Easter holidays." He credited the delay in returning to the mines to a spontaneous unofficial extension of Easter and the miners' annual holiday, observed Monday, in honor of John Mitchell, the man who brought the eight-hour-day to the coal fields. At a few scattered pits in West Virginia and Alabama, however, the miners voted to stay out because a new contract had not been signed to replace the one which expired at midnight, March 31.

They were ordered back to work by tihe National War Labor Board. In West Virginia, 75 per cent of the mines in the Kanawha area were idle, and absenteeism ran high the remaining 25 per cent. Alabama reported 18,000 workers away from their jobs. The Alabama Mining Institute estimated that production of coal for steel mills and war plants in Birmingham was curtailed 95 per cent by the work stoppage.

Patton's Third Army front, meanwhile, was bulging steadily eastward and northeastward, raising the double threat of a breakthrough to Leipzig and Czechoslovakia and 8 new envelopment of German forces facing the First Army to the north.

A partial security blackout cloaked the progress of the forward Allied columns, but censored front dispatches said they were closing fast on Bremen and the Zuider Zee. Allied fliers reported long columns of German military transport streaming eastward from Bremen and Hamburg, suggesting a possible evacuation the two great ports.

Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery's British Second and Canadian First Armies wheeled northward from the Ruhr along a broad front and raced for the seacoast against patchy German opposition. Canadian forces on the left flank burst across the lower Rhine into historic Arnhem and crossed the-Twente Canal farther to the northeast in twin advances that carried within 25 miles of the Zuider Zee.
