WV board denies jobless pay to rank and file miners
The West Virginia Unemployment Compensation Board of Review ruled 2-1 that rank and file United Mine Workers at C. H. Mead Coal Co. in Raleigh County were participating in the foremen strike from March 30 to April 17, 1944, and thus not eligible for benefits. The decision, likely to influence ongoing stoppages, was welcomed by officials who say mining operations have halted 93,000 idle workers and over 400 mines statewide, with a weekly economic impact of about 32.5 million dollars.
