Justice Mine Cited

A West Virginia mine owned by the family of Gov. Jim Justice has been cited for safety violations after a worker’s death at a coal preparation plant in February. The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration says in a news release that two safety violations were issued to Southern Coal Corp. subsidiary Chestnut Land Holdings LLC in the accident that killed Jason Kenneth Matthews. MSHA says Matthews wasn’t using a safety harness when he fell from the top of a plate press onto a conveyor belt.
