Talks To Re open With KCC Unions In Salt Lake City
Kennecott Copper officials in New Mexico predicted the current strike by United Steelworkers would cost the Silver City area more than the 1964 five week stoppage. The local Grant County strike at the Chino Mines Division costs about 22 thousand dollars daily to 1200 workers. Bargaining broke off Friday and next sessions are planned with Phelps Dodge in Douglas and other firms. Violence fears surfaced as Kennecott sought an injunction over threats and concrete slabs hurled at a watchman's shack.
