UMW strike hurting miners draws long bargaining battle
Washington AP reports the United Mine Workers strike enters its second month with 160000 miners out of work and 900000 affected by health coverage loss. Bituminous Coal Operators Association holds leverage as talks drag. Arnold Miller concedes weaker bargaining position but vows union resolve amid industry one sidedness and health pension concerns. Production remains around five million tons weekly, stockpiles cushion impact, strike may extend another month or six weeks.
