How many miners will apply for pension* is unknown. Miners are

other elements of the party would
then be faced with two choices:
either lose th* support of a South
Douglas, ^bvioualy no longer solid or let
the South have its way on such
matters as racial legislation.
Some Northern Democrats would
be happy-to see Ute South leave
the party. Thejr figure Southern
Democrats are more like Repub-
licans when it comes to voting on
domestic issues. And they feel the
party would be better off in the
long run if it were not made up
of such an uneasy alliance.
Even a Democratic victory thia
year would not' much lessen the
chances fog a battle over party
control. The left wing of the party
would claim victory was possible
only because the administration
ran on progressive principles
which must forever be the goals of
the entire party.

But the Republicans didn't dis- '
integrate. And today they're back j
in control of congress and appar-
ently heading for the White House.
There's no reason to suppose the
Democrats couldn't stage a come-
back, either -in 1952 or later.
NRNU Comebacks, of course, have to
. lbs masterminded. And here we
‘ '• | get back to our original subject—
who's going to control the Demo-
cratic party, say by 1952? Repub-
lican leadership changed hands af-
ter 1936 with the SQ-caHeii ’•‘old
guard” lasing much of its influ-
ence. Today, it's a comparatively
young GOP crowd at the throttle
—led by an extremely young
presidential candidate in Thomas
Dewey.
Youngsters Ready
Some political experts figure
the same injection of youth vita-
mins is needed among the Demo-
crats. There’s a core of yodng
Democrats already available and
generating plenty of influence in
the party. This includes Minne-
apolis' Mayor Hubert Humphrey
who made quite an impression on
newsmen covering the recent con-
ventibrfs. Thei'e’s also Franklin D.

£ Millers Pensions Begin Soon; p j
Moy Be Pattern for Industry fl
BY PETER EDSON '
NEA Washingten Curraapondent fl
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—Some time in September, $100-a-month
pennon checks will start going out to retired soft coal miners
who are members of John L. Lewis?* United Minq Workers who are
62 years of age or older, and who have had 20 year* of service m the
coal mines. Some retired miners who are 64 or over may be eligible
to receive additional payments of up to $2500 apiece, for the pension
payments are to be made retroactive to May 29, 1946.
Whatever the amount of the Initial pension, these payments will
mark the start of the second phase of a major industrial welfare plan. J I
The miners are now receiving certain emergency distress benefits I
Survivors of miners who die receive $1000 death benefits. Still to be "
put in operation is-a plan for complete medical and hospital care. It •
is hoped to set this up before the end of the year. * '
AJ1 this welfare is to be paid for out of .a trust fund raised by royal-
ties of 20 cent* a ton paid by the coal operator—and eventually by
the consumer—on every ton of coal mined. On the bast* of 500,000,000 I
tons annual production, this would be $100,000,000 a year.
tpiiE miners’ welfare plan is being closely watched in other indus-
tries, as,a possible pattern for expanding social security covqrag^.
through privatq. business instead of through the government. Only
four unions have now gained similar employer-paid welfare plans—
the Musicians, Clothing workers. Garment wc ws and the United
Auto workers employed by Kaiser-Frazer. •
Application forms and regulations (or UMW pensions were sent out
to local union* la*t week, so it is now possible to give some idea of
hqw this phase of tiie great experiment will work. Only UMW
members are eligible to receive payments. Non-union men won’t -
benefit. F*or the present, only bituminous miners are cpvered, as the
anthracite industry pension plan has not been completed.
In computing what constitutes 20 years of service to qualify a miner
for his pennon, there is considerable leeway. The average miner
works only 200 days a year because of mine shut-downs, seasonal
layoffs, injuries and similar unemployment factors.
New regulations covering operation of the pension fund therefore
provide that , a year’s service may be computed in any one of four
ways: 1—At least two quarters (six months) employment by a coal
operator in any calendar year, with earnings of at least $50 in each
quarter. 2—Two^uarters employment by the UMW. which recruits
many of its organizers and otK^r help from local unions.
