Harlan mines halted as guards dispute escalates
In Harlan Kentucky on May 12 the Blue Diamond mine at Chevrolet stopped operations after most of its 225 workers refused to work to protest armed civilian guards. Sheriff Blair reported shots fired at a miner’s home in Tway with no injuries as indictments from a special grand jury led to arrests, including Evarts officials and union leaders. National guardsmen assumed guard duties at two mines and threats of similar action at others emerged.
