Appeals Court Refuses to Lift Hoffa Ban
The U S Court of Appeals in Washington on Monday refused to lift a two week old injunction against James F Hoffa and other Teamsters leaders over the union presidency contest. The court kept the injunction, ordered a speedy trial, and left changes voted at the contested convention pending trial. Hoffa and associates face charges of conspiring to secure Hoffa's election at the Miami Beach convention last month. The ruling tightens the injunction and delays constitutional changes until the case proceeds.
