Differential at Issue. Although details of a proposed new contract between soft coal operators and CIO United Mine Workers were reported unaccept able to some mine owners, Dr. John R. Steolman, director of the United States conciliation service, declared: "Sufficient agreement has been reached to assure the country that there wil be no danger of a coal shortage." Steelman assarted that opera tors whose mines produce 55 per cent of the tonnage in the Appala chian area, or 381 per cent of the nations output, were willing to meet the union's demands for In creased wages. The CIO-UMW seeks elimination of a 40-cent dif ferential between northern and southern fields, for a straight $7 a day wage. This would mean a boost of $1 a day in the north and $1.40 In the south. Southern operators objected to this ar rangement. The federal conciliator also said he expected that operators in out lying areas would loin In the agreement, thus accounting for 1 per cent of the U. S. soft coal tonnage. Machine Strike Deadlocked.

Dillon, union business agent, said a union meeting at San Francisco last night turned M THE only way to get power out of an engine is to burn fuel in it. And it wouldn't be smart to burn enough gas to develop a hundred-plus horsepower all of the time when it usu ally takes only a small part of that to give you the per formance you want. The sensible thing to do is to develop power as you need it and that is precisely what the Buick FIREBALL eight with Compound Carbure tionf does. As long as one of the two carburetors in this system will do the job, that is the only one that functions. But when you need extra power, extra pressure on the foot throttle throws an extra carburetor into action, feed ing more fuel mixture into your engine and pouring more horsepower out.
