Lewis Must Give In Or Faces Federal Court Action
Washington AP The federal government warned it will seek court action to end the soft coal shutdown unless John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers return to work. A meeting with miners and operators led by Cyrus S. Ching yielded little progress. Some fear Lewis may call off the pension protest to avoid a Taft-Hartley Act injunction, which requires a fact-finding report to President Truman. If an injunction is issued and Lewis refuses to comply, contempt fines could again be levied, a precedent set by the 1946 strike and later adjusted to 710,000 dollars by the Supreme Court.
