Labor Probe Opens Over Yablonski Slayings Election Link Suspected
Secretary of Labor George P. Shultz announced an immediate full scale federal investigation into the Yablonski killings amid three days of charges and denials that the murders were tied to union activity. FBI and state police canvass Clarksville residents as detectives seek a solid lead hours after the victims were found in their rural home. Kenneth and Joseph Yablonski, sons of the slain union leader, prepared to bury their father in Clarksburg, near the coal mining center where he rose to top UMW posts. The Labor Department probe follows Yablonski's demand to control ballots and records, prompting calls for a Senate inquiry into union election irregularities and adequacy of current laws.
