Coal Strike Ends as Lewis Bows to Court Mandate
Washington March 19 John L Lewis withdrew his contract termination notice to the government effective March 31 in compliance with a Supreme Court mandate. He sent a 20 word letter to Interior Secretary Krug announcing the notice is unconditionally withdrawn. The move averts a renewed work stoppage and maintains the contract Lewis signed with Krug last spring after government seizure of the mines. The Supreme Court had upheld contempt convictions against Lewis and the United Mine Workers, but reduced the union fine to 700000 provided he withdrew the termination within five days of the mandate. Copies were sent to UMW members notifying them of the withdrawal of the notice to end the contract.

The move involves timing with Congress and the deployment of money materials and advisers to Greece and Turkey, with navy training maneuvers presented as routine.
