A spokesman for Kansas Electric Cooperatives reported widespread damage to power lines and losses of electricity in northeast Kansas, mainly in western and northwest Kansas.
The contract would have raised average hourly pay from $7.80 an hour to $10.15 in 1981. But Miller faced wide revolt in Apalachia over other provisions. The strike struck at a deficit strikes and that many miners was as detrimental to health insurance and pension funds.

Begin reaffirms talks on Sinai settlements
JERUSALEM (AP) -Prime Minister Menachem Begin reequalified yesterday that the issue of Israel settlements was open for discussion, according to U.S. mediation of the Mideast conflict.
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, meanwhile, capped his eight-nation bid for international political support with a meeting at the Vatican with the pope. The international guarantees be provided for Jerusalem's holy places in any future settlement.
Begin was in a conciliatory mood at a new conference yesterday, after sharply raising the price of oil.
APPARENTLY underlining his willingness to bargain, Begin confirmed a weekend report by Israeli radio that his government had halted its expansion of Sinai settlements. Israel was sharply criticized by Egypt for their existing settlements by increasing their size and population during peace talks.
However, the prime minister left the impression that Israel would fight any move to disband settlements. He said all Israeli political factions, except the minority Moscow-aligned Communist Party, opposed removal of the outposts.
AT ITS WEEKLY SUN day meeting, Israel's cabinet accused Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance of taking sides against Israel in Mideast mediation.
Begin said he did "not regret one word" of the unanimously adopted cabinet statement, which was his eight-month-old government's criticism of the administration.
Vance, speaking at a Washington news conference Friday, called on Israel to disband its settlements and withdraw from Arab lands won in the 1967 war. He also endorsed creation of a Palestinian homeland.
ASSISTANT Secretary of State Alfred Atherton is due in Jerusalem next week to renew efforts to work out a declaration of peace principles between Israel and Egypt.
Agreement has been reported on several clauses of the declaration, but Israel and Egypt are thought to be divided on the question of the extent of Israel withdrawal from Arab lands.
and it must satisfy "the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people."
At the Vatican the pope, who met the Moslem Egyptian leader for the second time in two years, said he would provide for "justice and security" for all peoples of the Middle East
He also urged that Jerusalem be made a "religious center of peace," with international guarantees for religion, Christian, Moslem and Jewish holy places.

UNTED NATIONS (AP)—Canada's foreign minister said yesterday that his government would ask the Soviet Union to pay more than $1 million for the cost of recovering Iranian assets from a rocket launched earlier on satellite into the Canadian tundra last month.
WILLIAM H. BARTON, Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, formally proposed that the world organization consider establishing the equivalent of a nuclear-free zone in near-earth orbit.
EXTERNAL Affairs Secretary Donald Jamieson also said the Canadians would demand that the United Nations adopt a stronger regime to prevent space accidents, such as the disintegration of the satellite.

concluded that the radioactive metal objects found in the Northwest Territories were debris from a Russian satellite and had so informed the Soviet Union and U.N. Secretary-General, Kurt Waldheim—the secretary toward demands for compensation.
