Washington AP reports United Mine Workers leaders seek approval from a volatile bargaining council and rebellious members for a new tentative contract offering concessions in two key areas as the coal strike reaches its 100th day.
Ohio power companies skirted mandatory curtailments during a 100 day coal strike. Utilities rely on voluntary conservation, out of state power purchases, oil generators, and increasing coal from independents. Monongahela Power Co in Ohio enacted 25 percent cuts for industry and commerce as Rhodes limits. WV demand fell 30 percent. Cincinnati Gas & Electric stabilized coal reserves at 43 days with 14 percent savings from voluntary measures.
The Justice Department says the administration can cut off food stamps for heads of households on illegal strikes if they ignore federal work orders. Agriculture Secretary Bergland noted the 1973 regulation is legally supported, with a White House meeting including Attorney General Bell. The move comes as a coal strike via Taft Hartley continues, with a new UMW settlement under review by the bargaining council and miners next week.
Cloudy and cold conditions linger tonight with a low of 25 to 30. Thursday turns colder with possible showers or snow flurries and a high near 40. Morning low 34 after yesterday's high 46.

New postmaster general William F. Bolger says Saturday delivery will continue at least through next year due to pressing labor negotiations and other priorities.

Israeli ground forces crossed into Lebanon at six points sweeping Naqoura Bent Jbeil Maroun a Ras Khiam and Ebl as Saqi as air raids hit Sabra camp and two Palestinian camps in Tyre. Health officials urged hospitals open around the clock amid mass casualties and a likely significant toll.
A Labor Department report based on a new Consumer Price Index shows Americans allocate more of take-home pay to housing and transportation since 1960 while spending less on food and clothing. Housing rose to about 41 percent last year from 35 percent in 1960, and transportation climbed from 13 to 20 percent.
Police urge residents to report crimes or suspicious activity by calling the dedicated number 425 7700, emphasizing quick alerts and community safety.
