Coal talks collapse after two hours in Washington
Negotiations to end the 22 day coal strike ended after less than two hours as union and industry negotiators failed to agree on terms acceptable to miners. UMW President Sam Church said the industry pressed to stick with the rejected first proposal and would not resubmit it. The two sides recessed Tuesday with a wide gap on a contract affecting about 160 000 miners. Violent incidents were reported in several states with shootings and rock throwing by pickets and guards, though no injuries were reported.
