Mines Begin Reopening Amid Partial Resumption Restrictions
General resumption is not expected until Monday and output will stay reduced as mines reopen. A supervisor said workers are "feeling our way" and it will take days for normal output. In Lykens valley, not 50 percent of strikers are likely to regain their jobs, with many rehired only limitedly while the company refuses to discharge those who filled in. The company plans to keep the strike replacements and limit reemployment, causing unrest among miners.

Stone orders troops to withdraw from the strike zone as Major General Miller designates.
