Judge orders partial injunction in Pittsburg and Midway strike
In Gallup New Mexico Judge Joseph Rich granted a preliminary injunction in the case of Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Company against Local 1332 of the United Mine Workers. The order limits picket lines to 25 feet from the mine entrance road and allows 10 pickets on the northeast corner. Union officials may appeal, possibly to the New Mexico Supreme Court, as strike activity continues on the east side of Route 54 amid concerns of traffic and visibility.
