Suspension Of Coal Hong Kong's

Mining Slows U.S. Business, Industry

Now York, March 20.

Suspension of coal mining slowed U.S. business and

industry this wook.

Although damage to the nation's economy was small

at this stage, coal is such a vital element that interruption of its normal flow even temporari- ty hurts business and industry all along the line.

Business was shocked by the decree by John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers' chieftan sending the miners home for a two week stoppage.

The decrep came at a time when unfavourable business con- ditions are increasing. The rail roads currently ure the hardest hit. They have been losing trof- fe to trucks, river barges, and ather claper forms of freight transportation.

The amount of freight decline os a result of the coal suspension has not been determined omelul- ly this week, but it likely to be considerable.

Business With U.S.

Washington, March 21. The five major Oriental trad- ing nations did U.S. $0,050,000,- 000 worth of business last year, the U.S. Department of Com- meree estimates.

Prospects For Pacific Treaty Slim

Manila, March 21, There is little Indication here that the U.S. is ready or willing to talk about a Pacific security alliance at this time.
