Strike Retards State Industry Soft Coal Is Needed For Steel Production ' By Capitol News Service Harrisburg, April 25—Pennsyl- vania industry is beginning to feel the effects of the soft coal strike ‘as plants throughout the Common- wealth are being forced to shut down for lack of fuel. Reports indicate that at the pre- sent time there are in the neighbor- hood of 20,000 steel workers alone laid off as a result of the reduced supply of bituminous coal. Here in "Harrisburg, the State office of the United States Employment Ser- vice said that the number of mew claims filed for unemployment com- pensation has been constantly on the increase since the beginning of the month when the strike of John L. Lewis’ soft coal miners went in- to effect. The strike has placed more than 90,000 miners on the idle list, but the State Department of Labor and Industry has yet to rule on their eligibility for unemployment com- pensation payment benefits. Mean- while those who have been made idle as a result of the strike are eligible to draw payments follow- ing a week’s waiting period. During the week preceding the soft coal strike there were nearly 8,000 claims for unemployment compensation payments, but two weeks after the strike got under way and its effects began to be felt in industry, the number of applica- ‘tions jumped to approximately. 18,- 000. As of the first of the month, according to a survey conducted by the ‘Commonwealth, Pennsyl- vania industries using soft coal had sufficient supply on hand to carry them through the month, or at least to mid-April. But the results of the strike are mow being felt. For example here in Harrisburg during the past week, the Steelton plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company, and the Central Iron and Steel Company, have started laying off workers as a result of a dwindling supply of coal. % Drop in and see us.

Farm Show Gets Army Building Harrisburg, April 22—Pennsyl- vania’s 1947 Farm Show will be bigger and better than ever and streamlined, it was indicated today following an announcement, by Sec- retary of Agriculture Miles Horst that a temporary building construc- ted by the Army has been acquired by the Farm Show Commission. The new building, on the north- west corner of the Farm Show group, will add more than 50,000 square feet of floor space covering 1% acres of ground. With the ac- quisition of the new building, the total floor space of the farm show .| buildings is now in the neighbor- hood of 15 acres. Secretary Horst, who is also chairman of the Farm Show Com- mission, said the new building ‘will be used as a beef cattle barn for exhibit purposes and will enable the Commission to. add at least 300 head of cattle to the show. The farm show buildings were taken over by the War Department during the war for training air- craft workers and reconditioning aircraft engines. The War Depart- ment lease on the: building was canceled February 21 and a com- mittee was immediately named by Chairman Horst to investigate changes that might be incorporated when Army engineers started re- storing the buildings to their origi- The committee will meet here May 9. The new building is a one-story |: structure, made of steel, and 'Sec- |: retary Horst said it will add to the streamlining project of the Farm Show now being worked out to handle the 100,000 daily Farm Show visitors, with more conveni- ence and comfort. Major changes that are now planned include more and wider aisles throughout the commercial and livestock sections of the main structure.

(International) == THE LOW DOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE Today I doff my chapeau to the Old Dominion—and to the Governor of same. That Gover- nor gent—he is made of prime stuff. His vertebrae is not synthetic. It is okay with him, he says, if you choose to join a union or not join a union— it is mp to you—but you get tough about it and start push- ing other people around and in- terfering with the peace and tranquility of Virginia, there is gonna be some pushin’ back. He will do the pushin’ back. It is refreshing ito see such stamina versus like out there where the Governor of Califor- nia had started for the open- ing of the season ball game, but where a coupla pickets got there first, and the ‘Gov. turned around and sneaked home. Of all the sad things that our US.A. puts up with—but should not—it is pickets. With mosquitos we can get a fly- spray that works pretty good, but with pickets, we hestitate. Anyway we been doin’ so quite regular, until this old Virginia Soreback got his dander up. That boy is no sissie. He should have three cheers—and a pat on the back. He is no mediocre kind of governor. Yours with the low down, Jo Serra me - ] = Health Topics By F. BUDD SCHOOLEY, M.D. SW — BN CANCER OF THE COLON Cancer of the colon or large in- testine is a disease of advancing age. Seventy per cent occur after fifty years of age. It predominates | in males, about three men to one woman. Hereditary predisposition is shown by the increased family incidence of intestinal cancer. The first symptoms may not necessarily indicate a cancer of re- cent development or of brief dura- tion. There may be no symptoms of very early cancer of the bowel. Weight loss is mot an early symp- tom, but always a sign that the growth is far advanced. Small tum- ors may not change bowel func- tion, and the changes are so gradu- al that the individual pays little attention to his condition or is apt to minimize his complaints. Ab- dominal discomfort and weakness are common. A palpable abdom- inal tumor may be found on ex- amination, and mild tenderness may be present in the region of the growth. Blood may be observed in the stools. A change in bowel habit may occur months before any sign of bleeding. A person who has had regular bowel habits suddenly no- tices that he becomes constipated or has a feeling of incomplete evacuation. As the tumor interferes with bowel function, symptoms of partial or intermittent intestinal obstruction occur. As the ulcera- tion becomes large, a considerable discharge of mucous and pus causes frequent bowel movements. Blood appears in small amounts, mixed with or streaking the stool. In other cases, painless constipation may be the only symptom for a long period. Cancer of the right side of the colon shows very little change in the stools but is accompanied by abdominal discomfort or colic. Can- cer of the left side of the colon causes less abdominal pain but more stool changes as the tumor approaches the rectum. It is more important to bear in mind that THE DALLAS POST “More than a newspaper, a community institution” ESTABLISHED 1889 A mom-partisan liberal progressive mewspaper pub- lished every Friday morning at the Dallas Post plant Lehman Avenue, Dallas Pennsylvania.

HICKS intermittent, -crampy abdominal pain with distention and constipa- tion may indicate: cancer of the colon. Chronic ulcerative colitis may be followed by cancer. Also, perfora- tion may occur at the site of the tumor, and should always be con- sidered in persons of cancer age who show evidence of obdominal inflammation despite absence of other signs of malignancy." Early diagnosis of cancer of the colon depends on thorough investi- gation of all symptoms. The history of early symptoms, complete phy- sical examination, digital examina- tion of the rectum, analysis of stools for blood and X-ray studies of the colon are essential for early diagnosis and proper treatment.
