Kentucky Coal Miners Strike In Second Day HARLAN, Ky. (UPIV-A strike by 3,100 miners at mines in the Harlan County, poal fields began its second day today with both sides deadlocked in the . dispute over a union demand for a contract renewal. No violence and only scattered picketing was reported when the United Mine Workers. Uniori members walked out Monday at 24 major mines jand about 200 smaller truck tnirtes,h art! hit by a slackd emand in the coal industry. Striking miners drove from mine to mine, apparentlyc becking whether any miners reported for work at pits whi£h failed to renew their contracts. About 2,000 of the normal working force of 5,000 men are currently unemployed because of layoffs due to depressed conditions In the industry. W.M. Edwards, Middlesboro, Ky., vice president of UMW District 19, said none of Monday’s picketing was ordered by district headquarters since there was no attempt to open the mines. Cloyd McDowell, president of the Harlan County Coal Operators Assn., said “the mines will operate if the employes. want to work. If they want to work, all right. If they don’t, we will just forget about the whole mess ’’ The union recently deposited one million dollars in two banks here as a “war chest” against a possible long strike. Mine operators have refused to sign a new contract calling for a $2 per day basic wage increase, which they claim would force mine to mine, apparently checking union demand that they sign contracts. The operators also objected to union demands that they sign contracts calling for a protective wage or boycott clause whicn would restrain coal firms from buying non-union mined coal.
