In Harlan County United Mine Workers picketers clashed with state troopers at a non-union mine near Totz. Three troopers were injured as about 100 protesters blocked roads and damaged a miner’s vehicle while seven miners were later arrested in separate confrontations. The union, rival labor efforts, and a 32nd day of contract talks in Washington shaped a tense day of actions across Kentucky and Indiana.
