Judge to Rule Monday on Contempt Trial
Judge T Alan Goldsborough heard arguments in the John L Lewis contempt case and postponed ruling until Monday. Assistant Attorney General H Graham Morison argued that Lewis and the United Mine Workers were in contempt for continuing a week long coal mine stoppage after a court order. Lewis's lawyers offered a single sentence defense. Morison contends no action was taken on the court order and the defendants did not comply, awaiting Monday for the judge's decision and possible punishment.
