Federal marshals target WV coal pickets in wildcat strike
Federal marshals with court orders swept southern West Virginia coal fields to disperse pickets and aid a 10 state walkout supporting Pittston Coal. A 19-year-old son of a disabled miner was grazed by a bullet at a Mingo County site. The nationwide action, tied to 1,900 WV VA KY miners, spurs NLRB actions and a contempt hearing set for July 3 in Charleston.

Mid-Atlantic states labeled healthy but weak in manufacturing
Grant Thornton’s 1989 Manufacturing Climates Study rates Maryland as top Midwest-Atlantic performer at 11th, with West Virginia 17th and New York 19th. Maryland scores well on workers and cost of living but poorly on union density and energy costs.
