A week-long wildcat strike by an estimated 6,000 coal miners
in western Pennsylvania has ended.
The miners, members of United Mine Workers District 2,
returned to work yesterday, according to union officials.
The officials said the back-to-work movement came after
weekend meetings by several locals and a Sunday meeting in
Ebensburg attended by presidents of locals in the district.
The strike began last Monday when pickets idled about 1,000
workers at Greenwich Collieries in Cambria County. The
walkout then spread to other mines in Indiana and Armstrong
counties.
Transportation for parochial schools is sought
PITTSBURGH (AP) _ An Allegheny
County couple yesterday asked the
courts to force the McKeesport and
Pittsburgh school districts to provide
daily transportation for parochial school
children.
Frank and Anna Grunwald of
Dravosburg filed suit in Civil Division
Court on behalf of their three children,
who attend a parochial elementary
school five miles outside the McKeesport
district's boundaries.

-The Pittsburgh district was included
in the suit because it is the only other
district in Allegheny County which does
not provide the service.
The class action suit seeks relief for all
parochial school students in the two
districts affected since the 1973-74 school
year. '
Both districts contend Act 372 of 1972 is
unconstitutional. It provides free

The pickets said they were striking in sympathy with UMW
Local 1880. The local has been on strike since May against
North Cambria Fuel Co., which has refused to sign the national
coal agreement.
The walkout was marred by violence at mid-week when a
group of about 300 pickets damaged equipment at a North
Cambria Fuel tipple near Blairsville.
They also scuffled with state police, who arrested six per
sons.
A contempt of court hearing for those six, originally
scheduled for today in Indiana County, yesterday was
rescheduled for Thursday.

Act 372 was unanimously upheld by
Commonwealth Court when the Pitt

winter. But the court overturned an
order by the state's education secretary
requiring the district to forfeit tran

The Commonwealth Court ruling has
been appealed to the state Supreme
Court.

Senate to aid booksales
USG to publish tabloid
By MARY ELLEN WRIGHT
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
A bill appropriating $704 for establishing an Undergraduate
Student Government book sale tabloid was passed last night by
the USG Senate.
USG Senator Jim Pfeifle said one issue of the tabloid, which
will be called the "Campus Bookshop," will be published as an
experiment. The publication will serve as a medium through
which students can announce textbooks they want to sell, he
said.
Some senators protested the funding of the project', citing
coMplaints'from one of the people in charge of the Association
of Residence Hall Students book co-op that the tabloid would
duplicate an existing service.
"I can't see running the same thing and being .in direct
conflict with ARHS," Senator Vicki Sandoe said.
Pfeifle said he is working on an alternative idea to work for
students, not to "cut the book co-op down to nothing."
Senate president Molly New said the tabloid idea would be a
simple way for students to sell their books because they would
handle the sales by themselves.
The Senate also approved the loan of $570 to the USG

Department of Communications for putting out a campus-wide
student government publication to help increase com
munication between students and USG.
A member of the department said USG has a "lousy
reputation" with students because of poor publicity. The bill
says the loan must be paid back to the Senate at the rate of $lOO
per published issue.
In other business, the Senate voted to give $45 to Students for
a Pennsylvania Public Interest Research Group to aid in
expanding the organization's present petition drive to the
Commonwealth Campuses.
Jeff Goldsmith, head of Students for PennPIRG, said it is the
duty of student government to show the Commonwealth
Campuses they are "an integral part of Penn State." ,/
The senate also voted to table until next week a bill canine
for a written USG treasurer's report disclosing USG's current
financial value.
The bill states the subject of disclosure should be discussed
in a special closed session of the USG Senate. Some senators
protested the idea of a closed discussion, saying USG should
not be afraid to disclose to the public what is being done with
the students' student government money.
