Miners March on the Capitol in Kanawha District
In Charleston on August 15 about 2000 miners from the Kanawha district paraded the city led by a band, then gathered on the capitol lawn to hear speeches. Union officials said the march reflected a voluntary stance by miners opposed to the mine guard system, demanding a wage settlement. Merchants seek a conference with Governor Glasscock to discuss the strike. Operators delay naming a slate for a proposed commission until next Monday.
