UMW Cleared of Contempt in 25 Day Coal Strike
The United Mine Workers were found not guilty of civil and criminal contempt in the 25 day soft coal strike by Federal Judge Richmond B Keech. He ruled the government failed to prove the union inspired or directed the miners to quit, noting the 372 000 diggers acted by individual decision. The decision surprised the courtroom as prior rulings had fined the union. The judge contrasted this case with the 1948 contempt conviction and emphasized evaluating concrete evidence over suspicions.
