Ezra Van Horn, a soft coal operator, filed a second suit in U S district court to block spending from the $40,000,000 miners welfare and retirement fund. He seeks to bar John L.

He also has a pending suit against the Lewis Bridges pension plan for 100 dollar monthly elderly miner pensions, with a hearing set for Saturday before Judge T Alan Goldsborough.
