Gazette Saturday, August 30, 1975 Ford pledges all- battle WASHINGTON (AP) President Ford said I today that the nation's unemployment rate is way too high, and he pledged "to do everything in my power to generate new But he said the nation cannot regain i its economic health unless there is a concerted effort by labor, management and government. In remarks prepared for a Maine AFL CIO Field Day in Augusta, Maine, Ford again declared he will continue to oppose and veto what he called stop-gap congressional programs "programs conceived in panic and partisanship, that will lead to nothing but new rounds of inflation and even worse unemployment." Augusta was the first stop for Ford in a full day of appearances in Maine and Rhode Island. Later he was to address Republican fund-raising affairs in Por- tland, Maine, and Newport, R.I. He also arranged in Newport to hold a news conference with three local television reporters.

(AP) Coal miners planned Labor Day weekend meetings throughout the coalfields as a 3hree-week-old wildcat walkout showed no signs of abating. United Mine Workers President Arnold Miller and other national officers were scheduled to meet this afternoon here with 100 local union heads from the West Virginia area that initiated the walkout. Nearly 80,000 of the nation's 125,000 soft coal miners remained idle today, despite strong words attacking the strikers from leaders of both the union and industry Friday. "The present chaos, marked: by defiance of court orders and near anarchy in the coalfields, comes as a bitter re disappointment to the industry. negotiators of the 1974 said Guy Farmer, general counsel for the Bituminous Coal Operators Association, the industry bargaining group.

"In reponse to some of the current dissidents' demands," he said in a speechhto the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce and the West Virginia Bar Association, "let me clearly state that the BCOA will not reopen the 1974 contract." The five-member UMW District 17 Executive Board, covering the West Virginia area where the strike has been concentrated, directed its locals to hold meetings this weekend to order members to return to work Tuesday. "The current work stoppage is being led by the so-called right. to strike committees. Most of the leaders of this group have very little experience as coal miners," the district officials' statement said. "Their demands are impossible to win and their activities will divide and ruin this union," the statement said.

The board also pointed out that if the miners fail to return to work after the holiday weekend, the national union -faces a federal civil contempt fine of $500,000 plus $100,000 for each additional idle day. The strike began during the first week of August in District 17'8. Logan County, quickly spread in West Virginia, and this week hit heavily in western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Alabama. Although it began to protest the suspensions of two miners, It has expanded to cover a wide range of dissatisfactions with the contract negotiated last fall and ratified in December, the first time the UMW rankandfile had voted on a labor contract. Discontent has touched contract provisions relating to grievances, shift rotation and safety.

Other miners have focused on the right to strike over local and safety issues, which they do not have. Kingston hires marshal -The Kingston Village Council has hired Steven Copper, 22, as Marshal.
