Coalfields talks stall as union and operators dig in
UMW President Sam Church vowed daily efforts to restart negotiations with coal operators. BCOA chair B R Brown said talks resume only if the UMW shows willingness to modify demands. A wage dispute looms, with the union seeking a 51 percent three year rise against a 19 percent offer, while miners fear a long strike akin to the 1977 78 stoppage. A miner at a southern West Virginia mine said talks broke down in Washington and workers walked off, awaiting return in August.
