Miners Disregard Back to Work Order Across Major Mines
Across Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, miners largely failed to report for production on the first day of the Taft-Hartley back-to-work order. Only scattered workers appeared, with some mines kept idle or limited to maintenance. Troopers stood by, and UMW officials reported minimal turnout amid fears of picketing and violence, as most operations remained shut down.

Israel vows retaliation after weekend terrorist raid
Israel prepares to strike Palestinian strongholds in southern Lebanon following a weekend raid that killed 38 Israelis and wounded 72. Prime Minister Menachem Begin pledged to eliminate the threat and ordered a Cabinet inquiry into how the guerrillas breached defenses and hijacked a bus. Beirut reports hint at a three-pronged attack on Lebanon, while Butros urged U.S., Soviet, and Western diplomats to avert clashes. Begin linked the attack to his opposition to a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria and withdrawal from the West Bank.
