In a shocking turn of events, the United Mine Workers Union has narrowly avoided a nationwide strike, with union leaders agreeing to accept a deal from mine operators to restore pay cuts imposed two years ago. The news came as a relief to the mining industry, which had been bracing for a walkout that could have crippled production and wreaked havoc on the economy. According to sources, John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, was shown a statement from Vice President T.L. Lewis in which he declared that the operators would restore the pay cuts and usher in a new era of peace for the industry.
