The government plans fines against 3,300 strikebound coal miners as part of a wage and contract dispute. Officials say many companies will not levy or collect fines, and some will waive them after settlements. The issue centers on government operation of the diggings and private owners still in control, with hearings and new labor peace proposals anticipated.
