BENEFITS FOR SICK SOUGHT Boyle said the UMW has caused leg­islation to be introduced providing for money benefits for retired miners who are suffering from black lung disease but do not qualify for compensation. “In addition to the federal compen­sation law,” Boyle said, “your union is working ... to get a revised federal coal mine safety law.” The proposed legislation, Boyle said, provides many features needed to insure safety for men working underground. He said: • “We want underground safety cham­bers where men can flee to safety in the event of a mine disaster. 9“W e want federal mine inspectors permanently stationed at any mine that liberates excessive quantities of explo­sive methane gas. • “We want all coal mines in the nation classified as gassy. You and I know there is no such thing as a non­­gassy coal mine. • “We want federal control over roof support plans to cover the entire coal mine instead of having only partial control. o“We want increased ventilation at the face areas of the underground coal mines. “Let me say . . . that the men of Mannington, W. Va., will not have died in vain if we can prevail on the Con­gress of the United States to enact this proposed legislation.” It was at Mannington that 78 miners lost their lives in a series of under­ground explosives last November. After days of futile rescue efforts the mine was sealed off. Boyle also called for demonstrations by miners “to get out and organize the non-union coal mines” so that pension benefits can be increased. vacate its place of monthly meetings, from the St. Emerich Church Hall to: The Hungarian Evangelical and Re­form Church Hall, 824 Chestnut Street, Johnstown, Pa.
