Mine Pension Plan Toss Discussed By Operators
Mine operators proposed shifting pension funding to United Mine Workers leader John L. Lewis by paying 10 cents a ton to the union instead of into a pension fund. The move aims to remove operator control over miners pensions and avoid disputes that sparked a six week strike. The Taft Hartley act issue and a Bridges Lewis pension agreement are noted as court actions proceed. The strike nears end and normal production is expected to resume soon. Lewis and the union were fined $1 420 000 for criminal contempt of a court back to work order.
