About 200 miners returned to work at the McKell Coal and Coke Company in Fayette county and Kingston Pocahontas mines in McDowell Mercer and Fayette counties after Governor Homer Holt proposed leadership. State troopers and deputies watched Oswald and Tamroy as day shifts began, with pickets present but not obstructing.
