Jam to Study Board Grant Contested by Miners Union
Officers of the Independent Associated Miners union at Gary met to map steps after an arbitration board granted the United Mine Workers a union shop in captive coal mines. IAM claims 4,000 members of 4,200 workers in six Gary-area mines. UMW says 3,400 to 3,600. About 2,000 Carter Coal employees in Coalwood and Caretta remain in doubt due to lack of a signed contract. Across West Virginia about 13,500 miners work in captive mines serving parent companies.
