Health care for retired miners to continue after ruling
UMW President Cecil Roberts said health coverage for about 100,000 retired coal miners and dependents will persist despite a Supreme Court ruling freeing some companies from liability. The decision excludes certain signatories to wage agreements, and the fund is projected to last until 2000 with plans to extend beyond.

Supreme Court upholds Suarez injunctive order in consumer case
West Virginia Supreme Court sustains a permanent injunction against Suarez Corp. Industries of Canton Ohio for deceptive mail solicitations, overturns a $500000 civil penalty as improperly decided, and remands to Kanawha County Circuit Judge Herman Canady to clarify refunds for about 17,000 clients owed up to 950000. The ruling preserves the injunction while urging legislative action on penalties to improve deterrence.
