UMW weighs strike fund proposal and leadership critique
The December convention rejected a $10 monthly strike fund despite its aim to provide leverage during disputes. Miners would vote on the plan in a referendum, with options to withdraw or roll over funds if no strike occurs. Delegates criticized leadership for withholding financial reports and questioned pay, hours, and royalties amid looming talks with coal operators. Miller prepares to open negotiations with the Bituminous Coal Operators Association for about 125,000 miners.

Soviet Torture Survivor Dolgun Recalls Imprisonment
Dolgun described how his mother died after torture and his father survived in Moscow. He said authorities pressed him to sign a confession and stage an anti American trial with him as lead. Transferred to Lefortovo he spent two years in solitary and endured regular torture before a year more in isolation. He was beaten in Sukhanovka and finally confessed, later released in 1954. He eventually returned to the United States with help from President Nixon and now works for HEW while his wife awaits citizenship.
