'Almost Everyone Is the Victim'.

The article offers information on the wildcat strike of 60,000 coal miners of West Virginia and 10,000 more workers from other states against coal companies and the federal government, which began at the Cedar Coal Co. mine in West Virginia in August 1976. It states that the coal production in the U.S. had decreased into 6 million tons, which is worth 150 million dollars, while miners had also lost wages worth 24 million dollars due to the strike. It mentions that the strike was triggered when the management of Cedar Coal Co. disagreed to the plan of the United Mine Workers union to have an office for union applicants. It also says the federal court has supported Cedar Coal because it issued an injunction against the strike, however, it was ignored by the miners.
