Lewis and Miners Seek Immediate Supreme Court Mandate
John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers oppose a government request to issue immediately an order enforcing last Thursday’s Supreme Court decision in the coal strike case. The court upheld contempt fines, keeping $10,000 against Lewis and $700,000 against the UMW, and directed reimposition of the union fine unless Lewis withdraws a termination notice. The mandate typically takes about 25 days to reach the district court, but Clark asked for immediate effect due to directives to miners until March 31.
