Gulf Operators Stand Firm in Coal Talks
John L. Lewis walkout at Bluefield failed to change the Winding Gulf Operators Association stance. President Austin Caperton announced that talks with the United Mine Workers will proceed separately, with plans for a public statement within 10 days. The group and Virginia Operators will negotiate by district while Southern Coal Operators delay. George J. Titler of UMW District 29 said southern operators still claim about 139 million tons, with production down 15 percent. Winding Gulf represents about 10.6 million of 90 million. The SPC led by Joseph E. Moody claims 139 million tons before the walkout.
