Mine Workers Welfare Fund Spreads Millions Monthly
Washington Feb 9 United Mine Workers welfare and retirement fund is spreading 2.5 million dollars per month in added purchasing power to soft coal communities. One report cites a 25,000 dollar annual income boost for Cambria Illinois coal town residents. Benefits cover death hardship and disability from a 25 million dollar coal levy during government operation. A separate private fund of about 50 million dollars raised by a 10 cent levy awaits disbursement amid a stalemate over a 100 dollar monthly pension for miners age 60. Trustee Murray resigned over uncompromising positions by John L Lewis and Ezra Van Horn. Southern Coal Producers Association mulls a stance as two classes of grants exist for survivors and deceased members.
