Court Order Issued As Injunction Is Ignored WASHINGTON.—Federal Judge Reech issued a contempt of court citation against the United Mine Workers Union after members of the union refused to heed a Taft-Hartley injunction ordering them back to work in the soft-coal mines. John L. Lewis, president of the UMW, who had twice issued instructions to union locals to end the strike, was not named in the contempt citation which was directed sole ly against the union organization. The union has been fined heavily for contempt cf court in previous years for not terminating strikes in conformity with similar iniunctions. Labor lawyers in the nations capital were inclined to doubt whether the contempt proceedings could be. made to stick in .this case in view of the obvious com pliance of the officers of the un ion with the court injunction. The union cannot be held liable for the failure of its individual mem bers to obey the court order, ac cording to these sources. Meanwhile, the nation went on short rations of coal as the tieug in the bituminous mines contin » ued. Railroad operations were cut down severely and many com munitie s and industries wers threatened by menacing fuel short ***** 4- ' Collective bar gaming confer ences between union representa tives and a committee represent ing the coal operators, with gov ernment officials sitting in. failed to develop signs of progress. Both sides were still reported fat apart despite the growing coal crisis. Under the citation issued by Federal District Court Judge Keech. the UMW was ordered to show cause within five days why it should not be held in contempt. Unless the union has “purged” itself of contempt through the re turn of the miners to their jobc before then, trial of the union on the court citation will begin Feb ruary 27. The difference between this Taft-Hartley proceedings and those of previous years is that Lewis on February 11 and Feb ruary 18 issued telegraphic in structions to all union locals to obey the injunction issued by Judge Keech on February 11. In the earlier strikes, when the union was hrtff fn contempt and fined huge sums. Lewis had not taken any public action to com ply with the injunctions. HATS UNION-MADE.
