Mine Boss Fears Tight Rules Could Close Facility
Tedj Spewack, 56, runs a lone Western Pennsylvania coal mine facing federal safety rules. He has operated since 1970 with no employees, producing about 12 tons daily before the federal act. He resists inspectors, arguing the small mine cannot bear costly safety measures and relies on a pony to haul coal from a four-foot shaft. The act followed a 1968 Mannington, West Virginia disaster that killed 78 miners, spurring tougher standards aimed at larger operators.
