Caperton renews offer to hold talks
CHARLESTON AP The chairman of the nation s largest coal exporter says he is too busy with jury duty to consider Gov. Gaston Caperton s latest offer to meet in an attempt to end a union walkout and wildcat strikes by about 43 000 miners. In Missouri 350 United Mine Workers members ended a wildcat strike but urged Caperton to help settle the dispute with The Pittston Co and curb line violence. A Virginia federal judge fined the union 240 000 for strike tactics against Pittston while a Charleston judge reset hearings on barring further wildcat strikes and holding miners in contempt. A Clarksburg judge refused to order s if ers back to work.

Supreme Court allows execution for older juveniles
The Supreme Court ruled that the Eighth Amendment does not ban execution for murderers who committed crimes as young as 16, and for mentally retarded killers. Justices split 54, citing cruel and unusual punishment but upholding adult-imposed penalties for older juveniles while signaling protections to consider mental retardation in sentencing. The decision comes as the term nears its end amid other major cases including abortion.
