UMW leaders and miners pledge ongoing boycotts and support for Chavez as he renews a grape and lettuce boycott. Michael Trbovich urges federal aid for hard coal, cites 16 billion tons of anthracite in eastern Pennsylvania, with half recoverable, but many small operators lack funds to expand. He accuses government of allowing oil and gas profiteering, noting 1.7 million gallons exported in Sept-Oct, $22 oil price rise, and calls Washington to act.
