In 1928, Miller joined the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen’s Lodge 783 and was elected SP&S general chairperson. In 1946, he was appointed acting vice president, then elected alternate vice president a year later. In 1951, Miller was elected vice president and re-elected at succeeding conventions through unification with the UTU. He was re-elected as international VP at UTU’s 1971 convention.
