Wildcat strikes erupt on Pennsylvania West Virginia coal fields
Hundreds of union miners walk off at least 10 mines in Pennsylvania and West Virginia following failed wage talks. In Greene County Pa 3,000 to 4,000 miners join picket lines while six Consolidation Coal Co. mines in northern West Virginia idle workers. UMW leaders warn of possible nationwide soft coal strike as pension plans become a sticking point. Key mines affected include U.S. Steel Cumberland mine in Kirby and Robena Shannopin Emerald Buckeye in Greene County.
