Supreme Court reviews Lewis strike contempt ruling
Attorney General Tom C Clark argued before the Supreme Court that John L Lewis and the United Mine Workers were subject to contempt penalties from last fall's soft coal strike. He contended the government must defend itself against inside threats to the country and that law applies to unions and the government alike. The case centers on a $3,510,000 contempt fine imposed on Lewis and miners and whether enforcement against a labor dispute is lawful.
