Coal Miners Retirement Age Cut to 60
Washington April 8 AP Coal operators eye John L Lewis to push higher pensions after his success in cutting miners retirement age to 60 from 62. The United Mine Workers health and welfare fund, funded by a 20 cent per ton royalty, totals $100 million. Trustees include Lewis, Ezra Van Horn and Senator Bridges. Operators fear the move will raise costs and threaten contracts as negotiations loom in May.
