Haluska to wind up hearings on strip mining bills
Senator John J. Haluska plans to conclude hearings today on controversial strip mining bills in Harrisburg. He proposes selecting a few reps from each side to finish testimony and favors an independent fact finding study with neutrals, state agency reps, lawmakers and industry officials as members. The Department of Mines calls the study a stalling tactic as UMW accusations surface. Reading Anthracite President John F. Barrett says the UMW backs the bills to grow Western Pennsylvania membership and prefers not to strip mining due to fewer jobs than deep mining.
