YABLONSKI March 5, l970 Allen Jackson A s u r P r is e de v el o (Hn e n . t in Was h ; n gt on la t e today - with the go v ernment moving to set aside the llnion election held by the mine workers last December . The election in which incumbent Ton y Boyle - scored a two to one victory - over his challenger - the late Jock Yablonski. The Justice department filed suit - on behalf of the Labor Dep • a1'tment asking that new elections be ordered. Tia• machinery for this is provided in the Landrum-Griffith& Labor Act. For more than two months- some two-hundred investigators have been probing into that disputed election - which Yablonski charged all along - wasn't according to the books. The investigators subs tantia led some of his charges - for the suit filed in federal court - charges that mine workers were denied the right to vote as they chose - without reprisal - and some were even denied the right to vote at all. Further- the union is charged with having faile ! to provide ,,dequale safeguards to insure a fair election - YABLONSKI - 2 ---------- · ---- denying candidates the right to ha v e observers at polling booths and the cou,iting of ballots. Jock Yablonski had so11ght to force a new election before he his wife and daughter were m11rdered in January. Now - presumably, it will be held.

MOSCOW Elsewhere in Washington - and also in Moscow - President Nixon and Soviet Premier Kosygin today jointly activated - that new Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. President Nixon calling the pact - "the first milestone on lite road which. leads to reducing the danger of nuclear war." . .
