Lewis and the United Mine ‘Workers‘ for contempt of court. | The Judge further ordered the |Union and Lewis individually and as President of the Union, to ap- pear Monday “to show cause, if any, why they should not be punished as and for contempt.” The court further ordered that il Lewis does not free himself of the coutempt charge he will go to trial Wednesday befors a jury. The United States Marshal was crdered to serve notice on Lewis immediately, The Justice Department contends the Union and Lewis “have wilfully, wrongfully and deliberately dis- oleyed and violated” the temporary restraining order directing Lewis to withdraw his notice terminat- ing the Government-Union con- traet.” SUMMONS SERVED WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Two Federal Marshals served John L. Lewis with a summons today re- quiring his appearance in Federal Court Monday morning to answer a contempt . citation resulting . the. Soft coal strike. Lewis accepted the summons in his private office “without com- ment,” an aide said. Federal Judge T. Alan 'Golds- korough last night ordered Lewis to show why he should not be held in contempt for refusing to with- draw his contract termination no- tice—the signal which fed to the walkout of his 400000 bituminous coal miners. The two Federal Marshals went to Lewis’ office a few minutes af- ter he arrived at union headquart- ers from his home in nearby Alex- ndria, Va., where he had been in c2clusion for the last 36 hours. The deputles ascended to Lewis' sixth-floor office in the Union Building where the mine leader was waiting for them. The marshals were with Lewis only a fow minutes and then left. Persons who have followed the case closely said they expect Lewis' attorneys to argue that the re- straining order obtained by the covernment actually required him to teke an affirmative action. Arguments They are expected to maintain that the court could not by a re- siraining order require Lewis to withdraw his contract termination notice. The court ordered Lewis to re- frain from “permitting to continue in effect the notice hertofore® giv- en” by Lewis to the government. This language, Lewis’ attorneys most likely will argue, had the ef- fect of ordering him to do some- thing rather than restraining him from an action, according to the usual scope of a Federal restraining order. Jail Dcors May Clang The writ is another step towarc possible clanging of jail doors in the UMW chieftain'’s face. It di- rects him to appear before U. S. District Court Judge T. Alan Golds- " Lorough on Monday and tell why he did not honor an order to re- call his contract “termination” of Wednesday night. If Lewis fails then to clear him- sell of the contempt charge— rossibly by calling off his “term- inaticn” notice or by showing that his stand is lawful—the next step will come Wednesday. On that day, Judge Goldsborough “with an advisory jury” will decide Lewis’ guilt or innocense. If convicted, the union might be fined and Lewis sent to jail, un- 'til he obeys the court. | Tension Mounts In the mine ficlds, tension mounted as the idle miners watch- ed the struggle between their lead- er and the government.
