Show Me Coalition Demands Written Miner Benefits
Disabled miners and widows in Southern West Virginia push for written guarantees within 24 hours on pension and medical benefits. Trustees must sign off before any increase, as dissidents threaten a nationwide strike if demands aren’t met. Miners for Democracy questions the contract’s value while Gov. Moore supports it as fair for miners.

Rep. Wright Patman says the Pay Board moves toward House Banking Committee amendments on retroactive wage increases blocked by the freeze.
