Abstract
Minutes, correspondence, grievance case files, and union campaign material of union locals in the New River field. The correspondence
concerns implementation of national bituminous coal mine contracts, local 6046's members' benefits, safety and working conditions
in the Lochgelly mine, and state and federal legislation sought by the UMW. The minutes of Local 6046 meetings summarize all
matters discussed and acted on, including reports from the local's mine and safety committees, expenses, contributions of
money from employed members to sick or unemployed members, adjustment of disputes between miners and management and between
the miners themselves. The grievance files reveal official relationships between the local, UMW District 29 and the national
headquarters as well as relations with the supervisory personnel of the New River Coal Company.
