Soft Coal Walkouts Cut Steel Production
Nearly half of the 400,000 soft coal miners in the United States were idle in protest against Taft-Hartley but some walkouts were ending. Steel production cuts followed, with Carnegie-Illinois shutting 414 blast furnaces in the Pittsburgh district and the Youngstown furnace shutting, halting about 1,500 tons daily. In West Virginia, a small group returned to Osage mine work while others planned to resume. Federal officials probe if the strike was voluntary or guided by union leaders.

Extra Sugar For Canadians But Rationing To Remain
Ottawa reports Finance Minister Abbott announced in the commons an increase of three or four pounds in the individual sugar ration before year’s end, with rationing remaining in force for some time. Two more ration increments will be declared valid in August and one or two more in November. Industrial quotas rise to 90 percent of 1947 levels. Current individual ration about 41 pounds yearly would rise to around 45 pounds. Abbott stressed rationing should stay in force until 1948 supply prospects clear, and noted Canada’s 1947 sugar share rose due to Cuban crops. He warned U.S. de-rationing should not be copied in Canada.
