Holliday Calls Lung Bill Clause Overly Restrictive
Sen. Robert K. Holliday says the presumptive clause in the new black lung bill is overly restrictive. He filed seven deficiencies in the workers compensation law with Legislative Services director Earl Vickers. He argues the clause may bar valid dust and non dust disease claims and that benefits denial for lung patients is too harsh. Holliday criticizes the two year exposure in ten and urges a ten year filing window and clearer employer negligence limits. He notes the medical administration of the commission is diffuse and hopes to present a revised bill by June 1 after consulting coal workers.

Circuit Court Date Set In Mingo Strike
A court date of April 24 was set in Mingo County Circuit Court to hear the county board of education's bid to make two temporary injunctions against fired school bus drivers permanent. The case involves injunctions to curb picketing and reclaim 58 idle buses on private property, while drivers may seek an injunction against paying 25 cents per mile to parents for transporting children until service resumes. The drivers were fired in mid April after refusing to end their strike for higher wages and union recognition.
