Some 90 percent of Pennsylvania's
soft coal miners have refused to work
for the government after the government had seized tils mines. Production was limited to operations at
a few stripping operations, which produce a very poor grade of coal.
Production in tiie state is expected
to fall 26 percent below normal output, which is 460,000 tons daily. The
refusal to return to work is ths culmination of s revolt against the UMW
two-week trace with the operators.
The Solid Fuels Administration re-
I or led only one deep mine in operation and a limited number of strip
mines are working in the Altoona
area.
