Coalfield Violence Persists Amid Miner Strike Talks
The coalfield conflict continues as negotiations between miners and operators pause until Tuesday, with 188,000 UMW members receiving two weeks’ wages for Christmas. Talks in Washington falter over health fund restoration and limited local strike rights, while some union officials seek full refinancing. Damages of about $20,000 were reported at a Morgantown Kentucky site, and a non union mine near Haydenville Ohio saw a shed bombing with no injuries. Picketing at non union mines in Virginia will thin then resume strongly after Christmas.
