Supreme Court OKs warrantless mine inspections
The Supreme Court ruled by an 8-1 vote that federal agents do not need court warrants to inspect underground and surface mines for health and safety violations. The decision overturns a Milwaukee federal judge and reinstates the 1977 Federal Mine Safety and Health Act provision. Justice Marshall led the ruling, noting inspections are essential for federal regulation of hazardous industrial activity.

Conrail Reports May Profit Amid Coal Strike Fallout
Conrail posted an operating profit near 10 million dollars in May amid the nationwide coal strike. CEO L. Stanley Crane told the Senate Commerce Committee the 17,000 mile, 17 state line likely to show a second quarter profit. Coal traffic equals about 30 percent of tonnage and 16 percent of revenue, with coal carloadings down 60 percent from last year. Labor leaders oppose a bill urged by the Reagan administration aimed at dismantling Conrail over 18 months. Rep Florio criticized the Reagan administration for lack of cooperation as Congress weighs divesting Conrail.
