FollosDing is the tert OF a state
ment to the court by Assistant
Attorney General John F. Son
nett yesterday in the John L.
Le,Dis contempt case:
If the court please; the evidence
before the court in this matter, and
your honor's findings as to the guilt
Of these defendants, establish that
great injury had been inflicted on
the people Of the United States by
the action of these defendants in
contempt of this court. That eyi-
dence further indicates that pro-
gressively greater injury to the peo-
pie of the United States will be in
fiicted so long as these defendants
persist in their defiance OF this
court.
1t is recognized that under the
Constitution and under all applicable
statues, cases and rules, the punish
ment to be imposed upon these de-
PENDANTS is matter exclusively
for the court.
Government counsel, however, in
responding to your honor's request
for recommendations, would be re-
miss in the discharge of their duties
if they did not suggest the public
interest affected by the deliberate
and wilful acts of the defendants.
Security Of Nation.
On one hand, the 140 ,000, 900 peo-
pie of this country, as the evidence
showed and your honor found, de-
pend substantially upon production
Of bituminous coal for their welfare,
health and safety; in fact, the very
security of the Nation Is directly
affected.
On the other hand, the founders
of this Republic, in moulding the
Constitution which has made this
country so great, provided that there
was to be, as an independent arm OF
the Government, courts Of law which
would resolve legal questions within
the scope of the Federal jurisdic-
ton. This constitutional safeguard
is basic to our democratic form OF
Government. AS Mr.. Justice Mar
shall stated in the historic case OF
Marbury ". Madison: "It is, en-
phatically, the province and duty OF
the judicial department, to say what
the law is"
Thus, it seems to us, that in i'm
posing sentence in this case the
court should, and we are confident
the court will, give due regard to-
both of these aspects of the public
interest
Concerning Sentence.
In arriving at recommendation
sentence of the defend
ants the Eighth Amendment to the
Constitution which, your honor will
recall, inhibits cruel and unusual
and excessive fines, is,
Of course, pertinent.
1t is respectfully recommended
that, as to the defendant aSsocia-
tion, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, which I am informed has sub
stantial cash assets, an appropriate
for the contempts which
your honor has found already to
have been committed by it, would
be a fire of $3,5O0,000 Your honor
will recollect that IA full days have
run between ais pm. on Noyem- !

Text Of Sonnett Statement

| ber 10, ls46, when these defendants
were seryed with the courts re-
straining order, and the date O
their conviction. Thus, the fine, con-
sidered on daily basis, would aver.
age $250,0o0 per day.
With respect to the individual de.
fendant. John l.. Lewis, 1t is recon-.
mended that this court impose q
substantial punishment, having ir
mind the public interests previously
mentioned. 1t is difficult to advise
your honor as to what, in fact
would constitute an appropriate
punishment for this defendant.
Opposes Jail Term.
In considering the recommends
ton which the Government should
make to this court concerning the
sentence to be imposed on the de-
fendant, Lewis, we have, of course
consulted with the Coal Mines Ad-
ministration, which is in charge oi
the mines and is in continuous con-
tact with the situation existing at
the mines. The view of the Coal
Mines Administration, in which we
concur. is that, at this time, jail
sentence for the individual defend
ant can accomplish nothing toward
restoration of coal production and
might, to the contrary, place a fur
ther obstacle in the path of that OBJ
jective.
With respect to the imposition OF
a fine upon the individual defend
ant, We have some dificulty in
recommending an amount. because
we do not know what the indi-
vidual defendants present financial
condition is.
1t Is understood that the consti-
tuition of the United Mine Workers
Of America provides that: "The
salary OF the president shall be
$25.000 per annum," and he shall
receive in addition to" his salary
such additional sums for additional
services rendered as may be author
lied and approved by" himself to-
gether with all legitimate expenses
when employed by the organization
away from" his residence"
Appropriate Fine.
Accordingly, 1t is respectfully
recommended that your honor con-
slider in this connection whether in
quiry by the court of the individual
defendant, concerning his present
financial condition, would be ap-
propriate.
With respect to the question of
any contempt by these defendants,
In the future, the court will recall
that the Governments application
for preliminary injunction is be-
fore the court and, it is the Govern
ment's intention, pursuant to notice
already given to defendants, to
move for the issuance of q pre-
liminary injunction Immediately
upon the completion OF the present
proceedings. The Government re-
spectfully suggests that, in the event
q preliminary injunction is granted,
your honor direct the defendants
to return to this court at a suit
able date to be fixed by your honor.
At that time the court, In the
light OF all Of the facts then ap-
pearing. could consider what, If
any, further action would be then
