(C?) - A senior officer of the United Mine Workers tCCLl District as said Friday American competition will slowly strangle the Nova Scotia coal industry unless the federal lgovernment acts to prevent it. District vice - president Steve Dolhanty said in an address in miners of the apparently doomed 1-R colliery that additional pita would experience idle time dur- ing I955 but he did not specify which ones. The Dominion Steel and Coal Corp. announced last week that l-B would be shut down perman- ently May .'ll because there was no market for the 400.000 tons of coal produced by its 726 miners each year. Mr. Dolhaniy said he saw no problem in the existing situation. SIMPLE SOLUTION "The simple solution in our present crisis is. in my opinion. for the coal operators to get out and sell all the coal they can, continue to work all their mines; in the meantime. the federal gov- ernment would authorise the Do- minion coal board to take our sur- plus production which can be placed where American coal is being said," he said. The union chief said Cue dis- trict had drummed for two years on the dangers facing the Nova Scotla coal industry in represen- tations to the provincial and fed- eral governmenls. "Concrete pro- posals” had been made ”that if Parliament At A Glance Friday Ross Thatcher.

"We are not only fighting for the life of No. 1-3 and the fu- ture of the people who are do pendant on that mine." Mr. Dol- hanty said. The industry was in immediate need of a "realistic" federal policy to counter the effect of imported coal and oil and en- sure an annual market of 7.500.- 000 tons-2.000.000 tons more than tbs industry currently produces.
