Grand Jury urges federal intervention in Stearns coal strike
McCreary County grand jury urges federal involvement if the bitter Stearns Coal Co. dispute persists, recommending government arbitration and outside assistance to prevent further violence and property damage. The panel also calls for a state attorney general inquiry into the McCreary sheriff’s office amid alleged malfeasance, noting limited legal time to investigate. The strike has run nine months with nightly gunfire and three wounded guards in two weeks. Leaders from Kentucky AFL-CIO and other unions planned a Thursday rally to press for a first contract with Stearns Co.
