Injunction Hearing Set For Feb 20 In Mine Strike
Washington reports President Truman gained a 10 day court order to halt the coal strike and set an injunction hearing for Feb 20 to turn it into a long term Taft Hartley order. UMW head John L Lewis served with papers as deputies delivered the order at the union offices. The order aims to resume customary five day mining and bar slowdowns or lockouts while forcing free good faith bargaining. If miners defy the order the court may cite contempt. Lewis previously faced heavy fines for past noncompliance. Morison says the action seeks full production and notes the judge will decide if a five or three day week is required at the permanent hearing.
