Miners contempt cited as union leader left out
Federal Judge Keech cited the United Mine Workers for criminal contempt over back-to-work orders, omitting John L. Lewis from the citation. Violence flared in Kentucky coal regions as mobs wrecked equipment and beat miners amid bitter cold, with extensive drive-by mine incidents reported. The political note highlights a harsh shift in U.S. posture toward Bulgaria severing relations, expelling Heath and staff, and recalling Bulgarian diplomats as a response to long-standing tensions and alleged interference. The piece ends noting inflation in clothing costs despite earlier forecasts of cheap menswear.
