21 WPl An estimated 10,000 hard coal miners stayed away from their jobs in eastern Pennsylvania today apparently in sympathy with the general walkout that shut down the soft coal pits. At least 12 collieries in the Wyoming valley were idled. They included the Dorrance, Prospects and Henry collieries of the Lehigh Valley Coal where 3.500 men failed to show up, and the Buttonwood, Huber, Lance, Loom-is, and Nottingham colleries of the Glen Alden Cral where 4,000 did not report. MichaH J- Kosik. AFL United Mine Workers president in the Wyoming valley district, said every effort would be made to have the miners, return to their jobs tomorrow.

He said he believed one reason for the walkout in tha valley was what he termed an erroneous report that John L. Lewis, UMW mine chief, had been jailed. Other major anthracite producing centers such as Scranton, Hazleton, and Pottbville repovted all collieries operating. Some other mines in the Wilkes-Barre area also were working.
