Gov. Donahey will press for a conference between miners and coal operators despite the Ohio Coal Operators Association refusal to attend a Jan. 16 meeting. The operators said such talks would disrupt ongoing nonunion mine activity while noting thousands of union miners keep production at about 500,000 tons monthly. Lee Hall of the United Mine Workers urged attendance, but operators cited Jacksonville wage scale disputes and offered $5 a day proposals instead.
