UMW backs acid rain bill in cautious show of support

The International Executive Board of the United Mine Workers wrapped up a two day meeting in Marion Illinois with a tentative backing of a compromise acid rain control bill in Congress. Lobbyists said they would not take an official stand until the bill is seen. UMW lobbyist Gerald Hawkins praised the House measure for spreading costs and protecting coal miners jobs. The bill would require a 10 million ton reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions funded by a residential electric bill surcharge. Critics warned regional electric bills could rise and coal interests suffer.
