Evatt rejects miners leaders broke undertakings in contempt hearing
In Sydney on February 9 Acting Chief Judge Foster said Miners Federation leaders’ stoppage resolutions suggested officials had not honoured undertakings to the court. Dr H V Evatt KC argued no evidence of any undertaking existed, though a 1949 assurance may have been retracted. The three officials charged are J Williams, G W Grant, and W Parkinson, with the hearing to resume in Melbourne next Friday.
