Striking Coal Miners To Vote On Proposed Contract With Freeman
As we go to press, officials of the United Mine Workers of
America and the Freeman United Coal Co. have presented a
proposed contract to settle the three-month-long coal strike by
350 miners in central Illinois against Freeman. On December 15
UMWA president Cecil Roberts presented the proposed agreement
to a joint meeting of all three striking locals. After a 48-
hour period to read and discuss the proposals, the membership
will vote December 17.
The next issue of the Militant will carry further coverage.
