Senate Vote Not Expected On Mine Bill
A mine safety bill that survived House battles sits in a Senate committee with little expectation of a floor vote. If not acted, current mine safety laws stay in force for two more years and the Senate will instead study the issue. The United Mine Workers group shifted focus to opposing a $10,000 limit on widows benefits in a workmen’s compensation bill as conference talks proceed. A veterans bonus measure advances in the House with a revised financing plan avoiding a specific sales tax as the funding method.
