WASHINGTON—The Supreme
Court has handed down its decis
ion on the Jchn L. Lewis contempt
lase. The next question is, will
Lewis be willing to accept the de
cision?
The high tribunal in a seven to
two decision held Lewis and Iris
United Mine Workers guilty; of
contempt in disdbeying the Fed
eral Anti-Strike Injunction issued
Ilast*.fall. Today's decision upheld
the $1:0,000 fine against Lewis.
John L. Lewis is keeping his
thoughts and his comment to him
self. But from that tone of his De
cember message to the miners, the
message that ended the strike, it
appeared he was willing to accept
the high court's decision.
However, the decision has
brought a rumble of angry words
from some of the miners in the
coal fields. One union district of
ficial in Pittsburgh called the Su
preme Court decision "a rotten
deal for labor."
Members of Congress, on the
othe r hand, are applauding the
high court) decision, and •so is a
spokesman for the National Soft
Ccal Association. Industry spokes
man John Battle said the ruling
should b e a warning to all labor
leaders that no group in the coun
try can "be allowed to set itself up
above the law."
