Coal Contract Ratified Amid Miner Resistance in Appalachia
Pittsburgh dispatch reports mixed progress as United Mine Workers seek ratification of a new coal contract with producers.

A past wildcat strike in District 4 last September idleied 10,000 workers in four states, underscoring ongoing tensions with UMW leadership.
