UMW Chiefs Fail To Halt Walkouts In Soft Coal Area
District officials failed to end a no contract no work strike across seven soft coal states. About 60,000 miners were still idle, with 4,500 idled in Monongalia County, West Virginia, and 25,000 of 50,000 miners reportedly working in western Pennsylvania. Uniontown area showed weak returns as roving pickets closed additional mines. Some mines resumed with workers, others remained shut or roving pickets blocked operations. The situation involved UMW officials, Pittsburgh area activity, and multiple states including Ohio and Kentucky.
