Length of Vacation Debate Moves Toward Resolution
The Associated Press reports that bargaining over about 300 000 dollars in fines collected by coal operators could decide the vacation length for Southern West Virginia miners.

Percy Tetlow nears Charleston to take provisional district leader duties as talks resume with operators.
