Washington AP Two U S marshals served John L Lewis with a summons to appear in Federal Court Monday to answer a contempt citation for refusing to withdraw his contract termination notice that sparked a miners walkout. Lewis accepted service privately and left for union headquarters amid a small crowd. The case tests whether a restraining order required him to act, with Judge Goldsborough to decide whether Lewis is guilty of contempt and could face punishment if he does not recall the termination notice.
