Coal Talk Break Nears as Miners Run Hot and Dump Coal
Negotiators for miners and operators pause as unrest grows among strikers. About 500 UMW members from eastern Ohio invade Kentucky nonunion fields, dump coal, hijack loads, and vandalize trucks while 25 state troopers monitor tensions. Some coal remainders are scooped up by locals. Talks in Washington recess to reassess positions. Roughly 160,000 miners have been on strike since the previous week. Public support actions and arrests occur in Indiana and Kentucky as roving pickets press the Stearns mine dispute.
