Clash Between Deputies and Miners Ends in Death
A fatal clash occurred near Wildwood mine in Pennsylvania as about 250 striking miners and 10 deputy sheriffs exchanged around 100 shots while enforcing a court order prohibiting picketing. One striker, Pete Zigarac, was killed and nine people injured, including a deputy. The confrontation erupted as miners, moved by a National Miners Union mass meeting, marched toward the mine to block workers from entering. Police used tear gas and riot guns to halt the crowd, which continued its advance despite efforts to disperse it.

Tri-State coal strike shows little effect on production
Washington reports the tri state bituminous coal strike in western Pennsylvania Ohio and northern West Virginia has not materially reduced national or regional output in the weeks ending May 30 and June 6. Output losses were offset by increased activity in southern West Virginia and by more miners walking out early June as the nation continues to reel from the labor action. A peace caravan headed for Washington urged disarmament with eight women led by Mia Hannah Hull of Swarthmore Pa. seeking signatures en route to the capital.
