Miners Stage Work Stoppage Over Meat Shortage
About 3,000 miners from the Norton Coal Company districts halted work to protest meat scarcity. George Esser, president of the Virginia and Producers Association, said little coal has been mined since last week, with only two mines operating Wednesday and one Thursday. Miners promised to return Friday, but district officials say the stoppage was driven by miners themselves, not unions. The meat shortage is described as acute with no meat or lard available locally.
