Orange Crop Big Yet Prices Stay High In Florida
Florida citrus faces a paradox as the USDA forecasts a 3 percent bigger national orange crop than last year while retail and wholesale prices for frozen concentrated orange juice rise. Florida growers blame lower juice yields per box and fruit dropped from trees after a January freeze, plus a preliminary USDA report. Rep. Rahall moves to curb a looming cost of living increase for Congress.

Strike Over Safety Committee Removals Sparks Idle Mines
Union attorney Tom Linkous argues the Stephenson work stoppage was caused by unknown pickets rather than the removal of three safety committeemen. The company sought the action, upheld by a local arbitrator and the Arbitration Review Board in Washington DC. Consol charged the committee acted arbitrarily in 1975 shutdowns. Durham said union members refused to elect a new committee and re elected the removed members, with ten volunteers later offering to serve. The union contends the contract lacks a fixed removal period while the company calls for permanent removal. Stephenson remains idle as part of a broader Eastern mine stoppage over seniority and work leaving policy.
