John L. Lewis W ins
Pensions For His
Miners At 62 Years
(Continued from Page One*
charge against Lewis.
It contends he is in contempt
of court for failing to call off the
strike as ordered April 3 by fed
eral judge Matthew F. McGuire.
The events went like this:
Lewis, Bridges and Van Horn
met at 8:30 am. and announced
the pension settlement after an
hour’s conference.
When the meeting broke up, K.
C. Adams, public relations man
for the United Mine Workers, gave
reporters a statement from Brid
ges.
Apparently the statement was
prepared before the meeting con
vened, indicating Lewis and Brid
ges were certain of the outcome
when they met with Van Horn.
Then at 10:00 a.m., justice T.
Alan Goldsborough convened court
to hear the contempt case against
Lewis.
Lewis stayed away. His pres
ence was not actually required
because the proceedings were on
a motion to “show cause” —(why
he wasn’t in contempt)— a pro
ceeding ordinarily handled by at
torneys. '
He came into the case because
last Saturday he accepted a post
as “neutral” trustee of the miners’
welfare fund.
This fund, running into millions
a year, was created by an agree
| ment last year for 10 cents a ton
royalty on every ton of coal mined.
The 10 cents goes to that fund.
The plan calls for $100 a month
pensions for miners age 62 with
20 years service who retired after
May 28, 1946.
That was the date the govern
, ment—then in possession of the
1 mines—signed an agreement with
i Lewis establishing a welfare fund
: for the miners.
| The mine owners accepted the
| agreement for the welfare fund
| last year.

Russia Takes Over
NEW YORK—(Soundphoto)—This map gives one that “this is
where we came in” feeling, reminiscent as it is of the Hitler drive to
the east, but this time it is the Russian drive to the west that is alter
ing the map. For the second time in a decade Czechoslovakia has
fallen under a totalitarian power. First that of Hitler's Nazi Ger
many: now that of Moscow-piloted communist party. Map shows
Czechoslovakia in black and also indicates the new borderline of
Russian-dominated areas.
