UMW Fights Plan To Replace State Payments With Federal Funds
The United Mine Workers urge Pennsylvania to keep state payments for miners with asthma and oppose Gov Shafer’s plan to replace $100 monthly benefits with federal funds. The move could save the state $26 million, but the union calls it a hardship for disabled workers. The plan hinges on federal rules that offset payments dollar for dollar with state benefits, a point contested by UMW and echoed by a Harrisburg spokesman.

Willard introduces a measure directing mandatory expulsion of any college student involved in violent campus demonstrations and authorizing the dismissal of faculty who participate. The bill would withhold state funds from institutions that fail to expel rioters or dismiss involved faculty, claiming existing laws are inadequate to handle campus violence.
