Indianapolis March 26 The United Mine Workers of America now prepare for a major strike in the Pennsylvania anthracite region and the West Virginia and Virginia bituminous fields. The January convention empowered the executive board to levy strike assessments and expect a monthly $25,000 to $30,000 intake from about 70 000 members. Last year the national body spent 220,000 on strikes, with locals contributing additional funds totaling perhaps 50,000. Officials face strain as negotiations continue, believing the union’s future hinges on Pennsylvania and Virginias talks.
