Johnson Pushes Safety Bills After West Virginia Mine Disaster
President Johnson urged Congress to pass two worker safety bills after the Mountaineer Coal Co. No. 9 mine near Mannington WV was sealed following the November fire. He called the disaster a human failure and pressed for an occupational health and safety act and a coal mine safety act to protect 75 million workers and enlarge mine protections. He warned that no law can eliminate dangers, only daily commitment from management and labor to value protection over production. He expressed condolences to grieving families and urged prompt action. Mrs. Johnson traveled to Karnack, Texas, for family duties, while the president remained at the LBJ Ranch.
