Coal Miners Strike In Defiance Of
 Government Order

PITTSBURGH, (H) - The na- tion's soft coal miners, some de- pressed and some in holiday spirit. struck yesterday in defiance of their government. The strike, which government officials fear may cripple the na- tional economy, began at 12:OI | am. when John L. Lewis main tained silence, refusing to bow to a federal injunction which re- quired him to continue the United ! Mine Workers contract with the government.
 Lewis thus automatically laid himself open for contempt of court charges, as well as violation of the Smith-ConnalIy law. He could be sentenced 70 a year in jail and fined S5,OOO.
 But one miner said, If they put John in jail, there won't be one ton of coal mined until he's out"
 Many of he miners were s.ril;- ing only haIf-hcartedly and mere Iy out of loyalty to Lewis and to their tradition of mo contract, no work"
 One miner said Tt isn't consti- tutional to try to keep a man on the job by force" None of the miners interviewed would give their names because they were afraid of prosecution under the Smith-Connally law.
 Maintenance men will remain on the job to prevent mines from being flooded, and the mines will remain open for anyone who wants to work. But no one ex- pected any miners to report this morning.
 Premature WalkoutS swept the country beginning Monday, reach ing a climax last night when 157,- 900 were reported idle in Pennsyl- vania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Alabama, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
 Thousands more failed to report for night shifts yesterday and the last crews left the pits shortly be- fore the swing shifts were sched- uled to start.
