A wildcat walkout by Massachusetts prison guards enters its second day as state police and corrections workers staff three facilities. Union officials warn mental institutions could join to protest pay. Spokesman John Harvey from AFSCME says the council does not endorse the walkout. The action began Thursday at Walpole, Bridgewater prisons and the Southeastern Correctional Center due to a budget impasse delaying paychecks.
Northwestern University professor Paul Friesema urged the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to veto Commonwealth Edison Co.'s plan to switch from high-sulfur Illinois coal to low-sulfur Western coal. He argued the bureau should not view new reserves as a substitute for Illinois coal and urged blocking development in Carbon County Wyoming. The hearing also featured views that Western coal shipping costs may be higher than sulfur removal from Illinois coal, and Edison projected costs for cleaning emissions and for Western coal over 33 years.
