Peace Promised In Strike-Prone Coalfields United Mine Workers President Wins Re-Election ft ft ft MIAMI (AP) There was no reported progress today in the dispute between the city and its police officers as the Oklahoma Highway Patrol entered a third day of providing police service. M.K. Garrette. attorney for the Fraternal Order of Police, said he replied to a request Tuesday from Mayor Jack Robinson that the men return to their jobs so wage negotiations, which have been stalled, could be continued. "Since it is apparent my clients are presently disable (sick)," Garrett said, he is willing to meet with the mayor at any time.

Kamins has been suspended by the State Supreme Court for violating bar association rules prohibiting the co-mingling of personal funds and client's funds.

The action came after the bar association alleged that Kamins wrote a check for $7,500 to a client as part of the settlement for a damage claim he settled on behalf of the client. The check bounced and after unsuccessful attempts to collect the money, the client, R.L. Peaster, filed suit to collect the money. Kamins finally paid the money plus interest, the court said.

The court said the original check was drawn on an account which Kamins also used as a personal account. ft ft ft SAPULPA (AP) A S750.0OO water bond issue for Sapulpa was approved Tuesday by a vote of Funds from the bonds will provide for an emergency tie-in to west Tulsa water lines to ease fiiture shortages.

WASHINGTON (AP) Arnold Miller apparently won election to a second term as president of the United Mine Workers with promises to unify the bickering union and restore peace to the strike-prone coalfields. One of his two opponents. UMW Secretary-Treasurer Harry Patrick, conceded the election to Miller this morning in a statement expressing pessimism about Miller's ability to lead the union.

However, Miller's closest challenger, Lee Roy Patterson, a union executive board member, still did not acknowledge defeat in Tuesday's election. But the silver-haired, 54-year-old miner workers president had opened an unsurmounlable lead in an unofficial tabulation of the ballots today. With more than half the ballots counted, an Associated Press tally showed Miller had 39 per cent of the vote to Patterson's 34 per cent and Patrick's 26 per cent. The unofficial AP tabulation with 5O0 locals out of 855 reporting, showed: Miller 33.594; Patterson, 29,580 and Patrick 22.400. After an early morning swim at the pool of his motel in Fairmont, a shivering Patrick said, "I think it's pretty clear Miller has won, The rank and file miners have spoken and I re-specL that," Patrick said he did not believe Miller could pull the union out of its troubles "I really don't think he can do Patrick said.

"The rank and file wil! have to pull the union together It's going to be strictly up to them." A 46-year-old former miner, Patrick said he will go back to the coal pits after his term expires in December. "A man who can't work under the contract he helps negotiate isn't much of an officer in this union. It will be an adjustment but I can make it." But he would not rule out the possibility of running for union office again in five years. "The fact that 1 got a larger percentage of votes than anybody said I would means I'm a power in this union. I'll only be 51 years old then." About 46 per cent of the union's 183,000 working miners and 94,000 pensioners cast ballots in 25 states and Canada.

It was a lower turnout than the 65 per cent that voted in the last election in 1972. Miller ran well in areas such as southern West Virginia, where he was opposed by local union leaders and where Patterson expected to cut into his strength. In western Pennsylvania, where Miller was expected to split the vote with Patrick, the incumbent president carried the region substantially. Miller withheld comment, but scheduled a news conference today in Charleston, W.Va. "Miller's running a lot stronger than we thought." said Patterson, who received the vote tallies at his Madison-ville, Ky home.

He said the ballot was designed unfairly and he would challenge it. With a second five-year term, Miller will lead the union into this winter's negotiations for a new contract with the coal industry at a time President Carter has called for increased reliance on coal as part of his national energy policy. Federal officials closely monitored the election, I concerned that a close finish or an election challenge could interfere with the start of the bargaining and precipitate a long strike. The voting showed Miller had support from less than half the membership. He did especially poor among the increasing number of younger miners, a group that has been making very militant demands on the UMW leadership.

Miller argued during a long and bitter campaign that, given a new vote of confidence from the rank-and-file, he could silence his opponents within the union and restore unity and end the spate of wildcat strikes that have crippled production over the past two years. But already his opponents on the union's executive board have, if anything, begun to consolidate their position. Patterson, an executive board member who is identified with the "old guard" forces of W.A. "Tony" Boyle and who held control over the board, stands a favorable chance of winning an appeal. This could force Miller to appeal, in turn, to the Labor Department, leaving the final outcome of the election in doubt for months.

The official tallying of the ballots won't come before July 1, when the UMW tellers count the ballots. a former miner who suffers from black-lung disease, rose from the obscurity of a West Virginia mining camp to head the Miners for Democracy ticket that overthrew Boyle's auiocraiic regime 1972. Boyle was later convicted of murdering a union rival and is currently awaiting a retrial. Patrick. 46, wno ran with Miller on the reform ticket in 1972 and won the secretary-treasurer's post, broke with his ally last year, saying he found Miller impossible to work wiih.

Patterson, 42. a former strip miner appointed by Boyle as District 23 president in Kentucky, became the leader of ihc anti-Miller forces on the board. They charge Miller has been an inept leader who avoided problems. Early in the campaign. Patterson was thought to have had the edge, since it was believed that the element within the union would split its vote among the other two candidates.

However, the disclosure in the final days before the election that leaders of the United Steelworkers union contributed to Patterson's campaign -apparently cost him votes. The steelworkers have expressed interest in a merger, a move that would be fiercely rejected by the miners. Miller won about 64 per cent of the vote in the major Pennsylvania mines and carried his home district in central West Virginia, one of the union's biggest with 32,000 members, with 58 per cent of the vote. Union pensioners. who were thought to favor Patterson, gave Miller 46 per cent of their vote.

Paiterson ran strongest among strip miners in the Midwest and Western coalfields and in his home western Kentucky area, where he got 55 per cent of the vote to Patrick's 7 per cent and Mailer's 37 per cent. Patrick ran third in his home dis-' trict of northern West Virginia, but won Lhe majority of the votes of miners in Illinois, showed strongest in Ohio and led in locals dominated by young miners, many of them Vietnam veterans who joined the union in the last live years. "I'm going to be a voice in this! union for years to come." Patrick said Tuesday night as he watched Miller's lead widen. He said a Miller victory "means another five years of chaos."
