Westland Mine coal mine workers, wearing helmets with lights, are gathered in a room as they listen to a radio news broadcast in a local office of the Pittsburgh Coal Company, in Washington County, Pennsylvania.

Maps of Westland mines No. 1 and 2 are among many that line the walls of the office. The mine workers look at a notice of the Government takeover ordered by the Secretary of the Interior, and a notice to their union, The United Mine Workers of America.
