UMW Attacks Fire Boss System In West Virginia Mines
The United Mine Workers in District 29 challenge the fire boss practice in Raleigh County mines as improper under state law. George J. Tiller and C F Jones urge unions to inspect fire boss records and reports at mine entrances before workers reenter. Officials call for safety committee review and possible stoppage if boards are not properly dated signed and approved.
