Rain Damps Miners Strike in Harlan County Kentucky
In Harlan County Kentucky the mining strike faced heavy rain and a police presence as 5 000 miners faced a stalled contract. Picket lines gathered at Highsplint and Harlan Fuel Co while 8 100 workers in the county felt the impact. Independent operators remained quiet though some 13 000 residents relied on federal food rolls amid layoffs. State troopers were deployed, and veteran operators noted the unique degree of current tension compared with the Bloody Harlan strikes of the 1930s. The UMW demanded a daily wage increase to 24.25 dollars.
