West Virginia coal strike shows mixed attendance across counties
Across six southern and western counties 8000 miners did not work, with no picket reports. About 1000 idle in four northern West Virginia mines, union leaders expect reopenings by midnight. Many pits still operate with partial crews as industry and union seek more benefits for widows and the disabled. Dissidents claim a victory while blame for absenteeism cites deer season and snow. Leaders urge return to work to end the strike. Miners for Democracy’s Harry Patrick urges return but vows ongoing effort for miners’ families.

Court Sides With Weakened Amendments In Several Rulings
A watered down substitute plan prevents any amendment from passing. The court allows cutting federal disability payments for injured workers whose combined benefits exceed 80 percent of their normal pay. Justice Potter Stewart leads a 4-3 ruling favoring Ray Jimond Belcher of Lynco West Virginia. About 12,000 injured workers are affected. The court will hear a Georgia burglary appeal alleging systematic exclusion of Negroes from grand juries. It has reversed several black convictions when juries were all white. Dean Rene Peters of Muscogee County seeks to extend the ruling to whites. In a women’s rights case, Sally Reed of Boise appeals a decision denying her as administratrix of her adopted son Richard’s estate, challenging Idaho’s law favoring her ex-husband Cecil Reed under the 14th Amendment. The court has not adopted such an interpretation of equal protection. Historically it has rejected discrimination claims by women under the amendment.
