4-Th Unto. 28. 19M Higher Wages Advocated For Coal Miners Htolth Benefits Being Urged By United International Untied Mine Workers of Amer- ica President W. A. (Tony) Boyle Sunday capped a four- day campaign swing in his bid for re-election at Man, Logan County, W.

where he told a rally, "I have put the coal operators of this country on no- tice that the UMW will seek a $50-a-day wage for the miner." Boyle's challenger for the UMW presidency, Joseph Ya- blonski, also focused the week- end campaigning in the nation's largest coal producing state. Yablonski told a rally at Ru- pert i High School in Greenbrier County, "It is abso- lutely a crime that men work- ing in the most dangerous con- ditions are not allowed time off with pay when they can't work because of sickness." The tenor of the campaign this weekend was Boyle's ad- vocating higher wages to com- bat inflationary trends, and Ya- blonski's advocacy of more health benefits for coal miners. Boyle scored Yablonski's rec- ord as a UMW district presi- dent, contending, "Why, during critical periods in our legisla- tive fight, he was out of Wash Ington on the campaign trail." Yablonski said of the incum- bent, "If the 'Boyle boys' car- ed about the miners, they would have made sure long ago that the men who have to breathe the coal dust would be paid for time." He countered Boyle's $50-a day wage demand by promis ing to fight for 15 paid sick days each year for miners. Coal Reserves Tax Suggested JENKINS, Ky. (UPI)--Dr.

I E. Buff of Charleston, W. Va. chairman of Physicians Committee on Miners Health and Safety, Sunday suggested that Kentucky fax coal reserves to provide relief for miners and improve the economy of eastern Kentucky counties. Buff, who spearheaded a sue cessful drive for black lung compensation laws in West Vir ginia, said coal operators are shifting to surface mining to avoid paying benefits manda tory in deep mine operations He spoke at the Jenkins High School Field House in Letchei County.

He said Letcher County listed as one of the poorest in the nation partly because Beth lehem Steel "is now mining in the county 41,000 acres by auge method. "They will produce non-union coal at S4 a ton," he said. "In time this will put all union miners in Letcher County ou of business." He said Kentucky has 65.5 bil lion tons of coal reserves ant the operators "do not pay taxe on this whatsoever. "We're going to suggest Ken- tucky's legislature levy a tax of a half-cent a ton a year ou coal reserves," Buff said. He claimed this will produce S375 million a year which could be used exclusively for coal miners and their families.

He sa i physicians cannot treat or cure pneumoconiosis-- black lung--hut "the state gov- ernment must see that you men are taken care of." Buff noted that 7,000 miners died of black lung in 1968. Sunday's meeting was spon- sored by the Kentucky Black Lung Association. Revival Opens On Sunday LONACON1NG Evangelist Daena Cargncl of Dennison.

(UPI) --Some state employes do no quite feel comfortable about the interrogations being conducted by investigators for the Legisla- ture's Purchasing Practices and Procedures Commission. And further investigation by the upcoming Kanawha County grand jury has some people on edge. Intermediate Court George Wood said last week the grand jury would be called with- in 30 days into its second ses- sion this term for the sole pur- pose of receiving information rom the commission. Some individuals complained privately about tactics i used by the investigators. One person objected to being called a "liar" and having the nterrogator saying, "You i eat crow." There also was an uncon- irmed report that investigators went to a private residence at 10 p.m.

to question an individual under 21 and would not let the Barents witness the interroga- ion. The investigators methods are known only to those whom they interrogate and very few others. The investigation has been sur- rounded in secrecy. The degree of secrecy from the new media even led to complaints by one of hte com- mission's own members. others on the commission point out that some members are not favorable to the investigation leaving the implication that in- formation or evidence gathered by the investigators is not known to the commission membership Originally the commission was created by the legislature to look into practices and proced- ures of the state purchasing di- vision because of a federal trial which acquitted ex-Gov.

W. W. Barren but convicted four men including the two top men in the State Road Commission. A sixth man has not been tried. But there was considerable ar- gument by members of the leg- islature that no mention was to be made of the trial, an out- growth of six years of investiga- tion by federal agents.

This was to avoid harm to the case which has been appealed by those con- victed. Now some who a been in- terrogated say they were asked about events connected i the federal case which they fee: was not the intent of the legisla- ture. Democrats in the legislature were not exactly anxious to pass a resolution creating the com- mission, but one Democratic Ka nawha County senator up for re election last year felt compelled have a legislative invesliga tion because of adverse public opinion in the county where the seat of state government is lo cated.
