Coal Output Resumes Slowly on First Day with Flag Salute Delayed
In Pittsburgh on May 30, about 950 miners at Gaillitzin, Pennsylvania, returned to work as coal production restarted after a Friday shutdown affecting 480,000 workers. Beehive coke ovens near Fayette counties began with about 8 percent of Frick Coke Company labor returning. Union officials said many would rejoin by Tuesday, while a cautious start left some mines idle awaiting full operations. The UMWA noted orders had miners back 24 hours ahead elsewhere to avoid oven shutoffs, and a salute to the flag was deferred at the Filbert mine due to ongoing government operation.
