OWNERS’ GESTURE
PENSIONS FOR MINERS. RUGBY, Thursday. The South Wales Coal Owners’ Association intends to mark the King’s jubilee by raising among its members a sum of not less than £50,000, to be used as the nucleus of a fund to provide special old age pensions for miners.
The association, in notifying the South Wales Miners’ Federation of this proposal, stated that its object is to celebrate the occasion by an act which will result in permanent benefit for those who spend their lives in the coal industry, and invited the federation to appoint representatives to cooperate in drawing up this pension scheme. At a conference in Cardiff this evening the Miners’ Federation decided not only to nominate representatives as suggested, but also to subscribe an additional £20,000 towards the proposed fund. —British Wireless.
