Occupation Powers End Germany Talks Local Flareup In Strike
Roving pickets blocked a large non union strip mine tipple near Clarksburg, dumping coal on highways in at least three Harrison County areas. Two people were slightly injured when a Clarksburg tab crashed into a barrier caused by the dumping. The protest hit U S Route 19 near Lost Creek as coal trucks moved to the Tasa Coal Company tipple. Mines entered a week long illness period with the Wilsonburg Gregory and Poole tipple closing. Officials said pickets, identified as UMW members, halted 150 trucks and dumped 10 to 12 tons of coal on routes, tailgates loosened so coal spilled onto the road. Operators said talks led to a one week cessation of strip operations during stabilization. Local Page 6.
