Mr. Joseph H. Newlin, Arlington, Va., for appellee.
Before WRIGHT, LEVENTHAL and MacKinnon, Circuit Judges.
LEVENTHAL, Circuit Judge:


1
This is an appeal from a judgment of the District Court ordering the appellant Fund to pay a pension to appellee Collins. Collins, like appellants in Roark et al. v. Boyle, 439 F.2d 497, decided today, had applied for a pension and been rejected on the ground that his last employment in the coal industry was not with a signatory employer. The District Court held this requirement invalid as being arbitrary and capricious. We affirm for the reasons set forth in our Roark opinion.


2
Affirmed.
