Hatfield names and coal crisis in West Virginia turmoil
Charleston April 4 One month since Henry Hatfield took the oath as West Virginia governor. He delayed major appointments as coal fields in Kanawha county faced martial law and a potential April strike. Miners, operators, and out-of-state unions clash over tonnage and wage scales while governors deploy soldiers to maintain order. Donations to relief efforts total about 15000 dollars.
