Strike toll includes death in West Virginia coal dispute
The West Virginia coal strike toll rose as Massey Coal faced costs from security and patrols. State police spent about 750000 dollars since February for patrols in Mingo County, while 493000 dollars funded salaries for 32 troopers. The dispute impacted schools, with Mingo County ninth graders scoring 29 on state tests, well below the 50 mean, and absenteeism rising as buses ran past picket lines.
