Dismiss Civil Contempt Charges Against Lewis
Associated Press reports in Warrington May 18. Federal Judge Goldsborough considers dropping both civil and criminal contempt linked to the miners strike. The government seeks to end the injunction after miners resumed work though concern remains over a possible coal strike. Lewis faced civil penalties, while criminal contempt involved substantial sums, but civil penalties were held in abeyance as the government argues production has resumed.
