Title: High Mine Jobs Decline Due to Automation, Leaders Say
George J. Titler of District 29 United Mine Workers and Raymond Lewis of District 17 admit coal mine employment may be gone forever. They cite a drop from 44,000 workers in 1944 to 13,000–14,000 now in District 29, with automation driving cheap coal to compete with oil and gas. Titler warns unemployment may peak and stresses the need for industrial automation to stay in the market.
