Indiana miners edge toward end of 101 day coal strike

United Mine Workers locals in Indiana show cautious optimism over a tentative contract offering $1 hourly rise in year one and 70 cents in years two and three, with health benefits kept but some costs shifted. Pensioners gain $25 more monthly to $275, and the plan lacks new limits on wildcat strikes and absenteeism control. Public sentiment among locals remains mixed while leaders warn final ratification depends on full contract details.

Miners await contract as picketing wanes amid strike

Striking coal miners largely stayed away from the mines while awaiting copies of a tentative contract settlement approved narrowly by the UMW bargaining committee. The Labor Department reported factory and transportation layoffs around 43,000, with effects concentrated in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania as coal supplies ran low. The new proposal adds health and pension benefits and drops a discipline clause for wildcat leaders, with pay rising to 10.20 per hour. reactions vary among locals. A unrelated series of incidents included derailed trains in Alabama, relief donations to miners in Birmingham, and a shoot at a truck convoy in Crestline, Kansas. A wartime museum in Saigon added a war crimes room displaying bombs and units, drawing over 1.3 million visitors since 1975.
