Labor War Anniversary Marked by Quiet Unrest in Southeast Tennessee
Southeast Tennessee marked the first anniversary of a dirty coalfield labor dispute with ongoing court battles and bargaining contests. The UMW says violence stems from scabs as homes and halls burned. Grundy Mining Co workers deny involvement and claim UMW fired on trucks and bombed homes. Operators offer $20.12 per day plus 10 cents per ton royalty, far below the UMW scale of $23.44 to $26.40 and welfare fund. Only one mine in the area is fully mechanized amid economic pressures and western Kentucky competition.
