WASHINGTON Those coal
miners stayed off their jobs de
spite the fact that a federal court
has found John L. Lewis and the
union that he heads guilty of con
tempt of court. The sentence —
which depends completely on the
discretion of the court—will be
passed today. However, both
Lewis and the United Mine Work
ers have the right to appeal the
sentence to a higher court.
RICHMOND. VA. The Com
monwealth of Virginia has taken
an important independent step in
the coal dispute. Governor Tuck
has created a state council of de
fense. This agency was given ex
traordinary powers—they include
power to buy coal from any mines
not in possession of the govern
ment and, also, to least and op
erate any such mines.
WASHINGTON Parcel post,
railroad freight, and passenger
service all were made the subject
of new and strict regulations. A
nation-wide embargo has been
clamped on all freight and express
except vital needs. The parcel
post service has been closed to all
shipments weighing more than
five pounds. And another 25 per
cent reduction was ordered in the
already restricted passenger serv
ice on coal-burning lines.
PITTSBURGH American in
dustry— at least that important
part that depends on coal—was
described yesterday as operating
merely on a day-to-day basis. Un
employment forecasts remained
gloomy.
"Yesterday the total indirectly
made-idle by the spft coal’ Stop
page rose above one-hundrqdmnd
sixty thousand, as 11-and-one-haLf
