WASHINGTON The trial of
John L. Lewis came, to a roaring
climax today—but the case is by
no means settled —and there’s still
no immediate end in sight for the
paralyzing soft coal strike.
There’s no jail cell waiting for
John L. Lewis, but the boss of the
soft coal miners has been fined
$lO,OOO in the historic contempt of
court action.
That fine is only a drop in the
bucket to the fine slapped onto
the United Mine Workers, union
—53,600,000.
The union will appeal to the
Supreme Court. But meanwhile
further contempt action can be
takcjn in the 'Federal Court if
Lewis does not call off the 14-
day-old strike in the soft coal
mines.
