A 13 day nationwide United Mine Workers strike turned violent with shots fired at organizer Larry Young in Huntington West Virginia and a sidewalk fistfight between UMW President Sam Church and Safety Director Everett Acord in Washington. Acord says the clash ended unresolved with him resigning support. Police recovered three bullets at the motel, while a non union coal hauler suffered injuries in Harlan County Kentucky as pickets hurled a rock through a truck windshield.
