Mine Workers Oppose Federal Court Mandate in Coal Strike
John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers oppose a government move to instantly enforce the Supreme Court ruling on the coal strike case. The court upheld contempt convictions, left Lewis fined at 10,000 dollars and reduced the union fine to 700,000 dollars, and ordered reimposition unless Lewis withdraws a termination notice. Attorney General Clark urged immediate mandate to avert a March 31 strike, noting miners are under Lewis's instruction to work only until that date.
