Ohio Miners Protest Over Day Fines in Strike
Ohio District 6 UMW claims coal operators have no right to fine each member $1 for days off during the current work stoppage. Ford Sampson, Ohio Coal Association commissioner, announced the measure in a telegram to UMW officials. He cites 494 miners on illegal strike causing 58,550 tons daily loss and plant shutdowns at several steel mills. Price defends, saying miners are not on strike against the contract and fines are unwarranted. The walkout began October 1 over supervisors, threatening additional plant curtailments in Ohio and affecting Cincinnati industries.
