Mine union chief tours coalfields to drum up support
United Mine Workers President Sam Church moves through West Virginia and Kentucky rallying miners for a new contract proposal aiming for an early return to work. The deal boosts pay about 38 percent over 40 months, preserves a royalty fund on non union coal, but drops five day week and other industry concessions. Church notes most miners back the plan, despite some critics, and says changes will override many prior arbitration rulings. He cites limited tools against non union subcontractors due to Supreme Court rulings and pledges continued organizing efforts.

State budget advances with education funding and new judges
The 1982 83 state budget bill totals 26.7 billion with 14 billion for higher education and public schools. Rep Bill Presnal calls the 19.6 percent rise the smallest in years as a sign of reduced state government. A separate measure authorizes 19 new judges to ease criminal caseloads as the 14 courts of appeals gain jurisdiction Sept 1. The Lob by Control Act reform gives the secretary of state power to prosecute lobbyists who miss reports. Governor Clements praised the House, noting his 34 of 44 bills were “batting .770.”
