WASHINGTON (AP) Consumer advocate Ralph Nader has urged Sen. Ralph Yarborough (D-Tex.) to conduct an in. quiry into the United Mine Wort ers of America union, alleging that it is inadequately representing the nation's coal miners. Nader accused the union of being "infected with mismanagement, padded payrolls and nepotism of the most pristine variety." He wrote.to Yarborough in the senator's capacity as chairman on the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. The letter was dated April 26.

Accusations In the fetter made public Sunday Nader listed a long series of accusations against the UMWA. He accused the union of cultivating "close ties with the coal industry while perpetuating a remoteness and non-responsiveness with its rank and file Nader said UMWA leaders regularly meet in secret with coal-mine executives and operators to "decide about varioiu degrees of inaction on coal-mine health and safety." Nader asserted the UMW Journal is an indequate link between the union membership and its leaders. Pension For President The union pension fund provides for a 550,000. a year pension for UMW President W. A.

Boyle upon retirement but only "a pension for miners, many of them disabled Nader said. Nader asserted the union has milked the retirement fund "in order to expand the operations and profits of the National Bank of Washington, which is owned by the union." He said the bank receives most of the fund's liquid resources with about $70 million in a non-inierest-bearing checking account. This, Nader said, "de Drives the fund of over 53 million in interest" each year. Nepotism Cited In the matter of nepotism, Nader noted that Boyle's brother, R. J.

Boyle, and daughter, Antoinette Boyle, are carried on the union payroll with salaries of 525,000 and 540,000 respective- R. J. is listed as a district president with headquarters in Billings, Nader said, and the daughter as a union attorney in Billings. miners, Nader declared are aware of these things arid object to them' but cannot make themselves heard' because of rigged union elections and because of the'UMW Journal has no space for letters of complaint. Miners' resentment, Nader said, "is accompanied by a feeling of impotence to change the situation, an absence of organization and the lack of any public agency providing -these miners with, a voice for their ances." "I urge you to commence an inquiry into the UMWA and provide hope for the stilled voices of the coa! miners," Nader wrote.

The non-profit group will provide background information on candidates and issues to voters on a nonpartisan basis. The League of Men Voters plans to be more democratic in one respect than the female organization. They will allow the opposite sex to participate through an auxiliary.
