...rebel candidate for the presidency of the United Mine Workers of America, Joseph ("Jock") Yablonski charged that the U.M.W. was "the most notoriously dictatorial labor union in America." When he was defeated by Incumbent W.A. ("Tony") Boyle last December, Yablonski protested that the election had been a fraud. After Yablonski, his wife and 25-year-old daughter were found murdered, Boyle still dismissed the fraud charges as "wild allegations" and claimed that his union had been the "victim of a journalistic lynching bee."

...election is held, the most likely candidate to oppose Boyle is Elmer Brown, 52, a disabled miner from Delbarton, W. Va., who had campaigned as vice president on the Yablonski ticket. Brown contended last week that because the election was now labeled a fraud, he should immediately be named to the presidency. There is no possibility of that.

...Shastri died in 1966, Ram swung his bloc of more than 50 harijan parliamentary votes behind Indira Gandhi, assuring her election as Prime Minister over a conservative Syndicate faction rival. The Syndicate's bosses have never forgiven him. Recently, they tried to break him with charges of tax fraud. As it turned out, Ram had neglected to pay $2,718 in taxes on the earnings from a small investment that had accrued unnoticed over a ten-year period. Indira publicly forgave him for his "forgetfulness," then maneuvered to have him named president of her own faction of the Congress...
