Lewis Fined in Court Clash Over UMW Contract Injunction
In Washington on December 4 John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers faced fines totaling 3.51 million dollars after a courtroom confrontation with Judge T Alan Goldsborough. Lewis challenged the judge to fine him further as the union must halt its strike in soft coal mines now in government hands. The judge replaced the earlier order with a temporary injunction and warned against further contempt. The government may pursue a judgment declaring the strike illegal. Goldsborough called the strike an evil, demoniac, monstrous thing and warned it could threaten democracy. He suggested Lewis should be imprisoned, but the Justice Department opposed prison to avoid turning Lewis into a martyr. The case remains pivotal in labor and legal history as the union appeals.

Bus Drivers End Short Strike With Court Settlement
Thirty Kanawha County school bus drivers returned to work after a two day strike ended with an agreement to seek settlement in court over differences with the board of education. A test case would define the circuit court judge's authority to issue an injunction against picketing county property. The AFL union says the return to work is 100 percent complete. About 90 drivers, mostly from Cabin Creek and Maiden districts, quit Monday morning leaving roughly 7,000 students stranded. 42 drivers continued working.
