Violence flares at coal routes with pickets and damaged trucks
Authorities report 30 to 40 pickets dispersing after a rock struck a police cruiser. In Kentucky trackers say sharpened steel clusters scattered on U S 421 and a coal truck had tires punctured and a window broken. About 40 pickets compelled a coal truck to dump its load near a UMW hall along Kentucky Route 160 near Cumberland. A train line was blocked as guards waited for supervisors. An Ohio man, Jeffrey L Frasher, was arrested after a high speed chase on I 70 for criminal damaging. Windshields on several non-union trucks were smashed. A watchman for R F Coal Co said he was forced from his truck at gunpoint and returned to find the windshield broken.
