Legal Go ahead for Pension Plan
Washington judge grants John L. Lewis a legal go ahead for a $400 monthly pension plan for miners. Meta Van Ilorn, trustee for operators on the United Mine Workers welfare fund, challenged the court action but was dismissed. The plan offers $100 monthly for UMW members age 62 or older with at least 10 years in the mines, with $5,006,000 set aside from the $43,000,000 fund to cover payments. The fund stems from a long-run royalty levy on coal mined and was created in 1947. Lewis pressed for pension agreement before moving on talks for a new contract.
