May Continue Strike Reports from the coal fieldg indicated strongly that the angry miners would defy the court and continue a strike that has pushed the nation to the edge of eco nomic crisis. Lewis himself told President Truman last Saturday that it was "questionable" whether the miners could be driven back to wrJf by the "legal blackjack" of the Taft-Hartley law. If the miners refuse to reopen the strikebound pits, Lewis may have to prove to the courts that his back-to-work orders were not reallv a vpilpH iini tn the strike. He and his union al ready have paid $2,130,000 in contempt of court fines for de fying such injunctions in the past.
