Wildcat coal strikes widen as UMW urges restraint
Thousands of miners across at least six states defy a back-to-work appeal from United Mine Workers President Sam Church. With more than 12,000 miners staying home and long negotiations stalled, the looming national strike could surpass the 111 days of 1977 78. West Virginia fears major revenue losses as talks stall over wages and scheduling.

EPA seeks funds for Ford Road cleanup efforts
Ohio EPA will request 60,000 in federal funds as part of a 12 million plan to clean nine top priority hazardous waste sites in the state. An EPA inspection found a potentially dangerous ammonia and heavy metal spill at the 15 acre Ford Road dump, operated by Browning Ferris 1963 to 1974, later filled by Lorain County Park District. James F. McAvoy said the sites are the state’s top cleanup priorities and the funds come from a Congress approved abandoned site program. If parties cannot pay, the state will cover cleanup costs.
