Government may call Lewis soon to negotiate coal contract
Officials say a government order to start talks between John L. Lewis and mine owners could come within a week. Two legal steps loom: Lewis must purge himself and the UMW of contempt by posting fines of 10 000 and 30 000, and the Justice Department will decide if a final judgment on reopen negotiations is needed. Scheduling hinges on disposing of fines and court issues.
