John L Lewis and Union Fined
For Criminal Contempt of Court
W ASHING i vJJN , April ^u—
(UP)—John L. Lewis was fined
| $20,000 and his mine union $1,400,
000 for criminal contempt today
and the court hinted there may be
further punishment if soft coal
miners are still on strike Friday.
Federal Judge -T. Alan Golds
borough slapped the penalties on
the defendants with undisguised re
gret that they were not heavier—
even though they were double those
imposed for a similar defiance of
anti-strike orders in 1946.
The judge said he would have
sent Lewis to jail except that the
government recommended against
it. The government apparently
feared imprisonment of the union
leader would cause another com
plete shutdown of the coal fields.
Goldsborough withheld sentence
until Friday morning on the civil
contempt charge on which he also
found the defendants guilty yes
terday. Lewis can be jailed and
fined on that charge and his United
Mine Workers can be fined.
He gave the plain implication
that the court might invoke the
rarely used civil penalties if the
protest strikes now under way are
still in process Friday.
In his last brush with the federal
law, Lewis was fined $10,000 and
the union $3,500,000 by Goldsbor
ough for calling a strike in the fall
of 1946 in defiance of a court order.
JOHN L. LEWIS
The supreme court upheld the
convictions and the full fine on
Lewis, but reduced the union pen
alty to $700,000.
Goldsborough made it plain in
pronouncing sentence that he re
garded Lewis and the UMW as sec
ond offenders whose punishment
should be increased accordingly.
He told them sternly that the
mine strike had affected the wel
fare, health and safety of the en
tire nation “as well as our national
prestige in foreign countries.”
