Subpoena To Issue If Lewis Not In 1 Monday
John S. Lewis forced a 72 hour delay in government efforts to end the soft coal strike. He skipped the first hearings, delaying the inquiry board’s progress and risking a court order to compel his appearance. The strike nears end of week two, with critical sectors seen for disruption. Public hearings could wrap by Monday, affecting electric power, steel, rail, and retail coal yards. President Truman’s Taft-Hartley action looms if the report reaches him.
