Lines Hold Firm in Coal Strike Fallout Fatal Truck Crash
The article reports a fatal truck accident linked to the anthracite coal strike aftermath. A driver, James Falnter, 45, of South Charleston, died near the Virginia and Reynold streets junction after a heart attack precipitated a crash while driving a truck for Robert Winatrey. The piece also notes ongoing eviction notices at the Pittsburgh Coal Company and stalled wage talks, with miners and operators hesitant to resume negotiations amid outside pressure. The scene underscores harsh closures, wage losses amounting to about 5 million dollars, and a production cut of roughly 1 million tons as strikes persist. The United Mine Workers maintain daily pickets at Esnolng No. 2, where operations resumed after a wage case pause.
