Union Leader Discusses Miners and 1968 Campaigns in District Talks
District 19 union officials say there are about 1 500 active miners with no new local unions since organizing. James Leeber foresees Boyle as UMW president and notes officers will back him. Leeber also cites Muskie and Humphrey support funded by a labor fund from the 1930s, and defends Boyle's misappropriation case as fully accounted. Hibbitts laments unfair treatment of Boyle and warns against negative union publicity linked to past killings.
