Miners in Tri State Face UMW Feud and Strike Fallout
Dissension within the Tri State coal fields centers on Kochis challenging Boyle for the UMW presidency over charges of district autonomy and contract dissatisfaction. Boyle wins decisively, Kochis appeals to courts and the Labor Department, and dissidents keep rallying. Reports claim Kochis was offered a $35,000 yearly post to quiet opposition, a claim denied by union leaders. The Welfare and Retirement Fund under John L. Lewis could reduce pensions if losses mount. Local measures seek to protect workers legally during wildcat actions, with miners voting to return to work when no pickets are present.
