Westphalia Coal Strike Enters Sixth Hour Amid Mixed Compliance
In Westphalia about half of 250,000 miners obeyed the strike call, with shifts at many pits down or cut back while some mines kept working. Violence was scarce and isolated attacks on nonunion workers noted as leaders feud with rival groups. Public opinion tilts against the strikers though coal stocks hold firm and iron works near Luxemburg report three weeks of coal reserves. Essen reports 112,108 of 170,868 miners at work as the strike widens in western Westphalia.
