Long strike tests Sullivan County coal town resolve
In Sullivan Indiana during the longest coal strike in memory residents face stalled business, electric curtailment and divided views. Ruth Metcalf, chamber secretary, notes miners and community leaders feel the pressure while retailers like Bill Tindall report dwindling sales and cautious support for the UMW. Local officials weigh signs in store windows and the impact on jobs as the strike extends, with a majority remaining ambivalent yet hopeful for a return to work.
