Postal rates stay at 18 cents for 1981 for letters
The AP reports that 18 cent letter postage will likely remain through 1981, with a possible up to five cent rise next year. The Postal Rate Commission rejected a 20 cent first class letter proposal for the second time, saying current rates suffice for the Postal Service to break even. The agency did not approve the higher charge.

Church meets jeering miners in Wheeling on tour
United Mine Workers President Sam Church faced a rude reception in Wheeling as about 40 dissident miners shouted and carried picket signs. He entered WWVA studios for an hour talk, later left amid jeers before meeting southern West Virginia miners to close a weeklong eastern coalfields tour. The UMW plans a pre contract vote with the Bituminous Coal Operators Association Saturday, with Church arguing the deal is the best possible this year despite strain from recent contract disputes and a looming strike.
