Miners' Work Stoppage Won't Hurt Business, Leader Says
President George J. Titler of United Mine Workers District 29 argued the current coal stoppage won’t hurt miners or Beckley merchants. He cited stockpiles covering about 60 days and predicted overall yearly workdays would stay steady despite two weeks off. He noted coal prices were cut by Pittsburgh Consolidated Coal, causing an eight million dollar annual earnings drop, signaling a market glut and temporary economic fluctuation in local finance firms.
