Lewis Faces Court Injunction Over Fund Trusteeship
Washington, John L. Lewis faced a new court injunction after refusing the steel industry’s pick for the United Mine Workers welfare and retirement fund trustee. Charles Dawson sought to block Lewis from spending about $13 million held in the fund, financed by a royalty on coal. Dawson argued to prohibit spending while Lewis pressed for higher taxes and new contracts, with industry opposition to the 1940-41 price.

The City Personnel Board met in a Novy conference to untangle a string of assimilations and issues stemming from a department shake-up. J W G Smith and H M Holloway, longtime superintendents of Electric and Water, were not exempt from Civil Service review and the board must craft new tests for them. GE Williams, laid off during revamp, contends he was not legally fired.
