Washington, Apr. 12.

Mr John L. Lewis, lender of the United Mineworkers strike, has accepted a pro- visional pensions plan sub- mitted by Senator Styles Bridges, the "neutral" trustee of the Miners Welfare Fund, who proposed pensions of $100 a month for miners over 62 who have served 20 years in the industry and retired after May 23, 1946.

Mr. Lewis had demanded a $100 pension for miners at 00, with 20 years service, but also wanted all members of the Unit- ed Mineworkers to be eligible.

The coal operators took the stand that only men employed at those mines which have con- tributed to the Welfare Fund should be eligible.

The agreement was announced just before Mr. Lewis, and hk Union were due to appear before judge for alleged contempt of court for failing to call off. the strike.

Settlement of the strike dis- pute has not purged Mr. Lewis of the charges of contempt of court, however. Federal Judge Goldsborough had the ruling that the pensions agreement had "absolutely nothing to do with the contempt proceeding" and to- i day ordered Mr. Lewis to face trial on Wednesday morning on the charges Reuter.
