Text of Dismissal Motion

FOLLOWING is the tert OF the
United Mine WorEers-John L.
Le,0is motion, for dismissal OF the
contempt citation In District
Court.
In the District Court of the United
States for the District of Columbia,
United States of America, plaintiff
VS.. United Mine Workers OF America,
an unincorporated association, and
John L. Lewis, individually and as
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, defendants.
Civil action No. 37764.
Motion to discharge and vacate
rule to show cause.
Now come the defendants, United
Mine Workers of America, an un-
incorporated association, and John
L. Lewis, individually and as pres
ident of the United Mine Workers
of America, by their counsel, and
move the court to discharge and
vacate the rule to show cause here
tofore, on the 21st day of November,
1916, entered and issued herein for
the following reasons:
The temporary restraining order is
void in that this case involves and
grows out of a labor dispute. Under
the provisions Of the Norris-La
Guardia Act al Stat. 70), and the
provisions of section 20 Of the Clay
ton Act (38 u. S. Stat. G. 1923, 1900,
this honorable court is without juris-
diction over the subject matter OF
this cause.
Equity acts only where there Is
no plain, adequate and complete
remedy at law. The allegations of
the petition for the rule purport to
Evening star., 1946-11-27

show a violation of the War Labor
Disputes Act-a serious offense-
in which field there is no place
for equity intervention.
Observance of all the strict rules
of criminal procedure is required
to establish criminal contempt. 1t
is apparent that the alleged facts
set out in the unverified petition
and in the affidavit of Capt. Col
lisson, filed in support of the rule,
are based wholly upon hearsay, in
formation and belief are not suffi-
cient to sustain the rule to show
cause.
The object of the petition for the
rule is necessarily punitive and not
compensatory. Accordingly, it be-
ing for criminal contempt, the Pc
tition' should have been presented
as an independent proceeding and
not as supplemental to the original
cause.
The temporary restraining order
is beyond the jurisdiction of this
honorable court and therefore void
because it contravenes the first, fifth
and thirteenth amendments to the
Constitution of the United States.
Wherefore, defendants respectfully
request this honorable court to dis
charge and vacate the rule to show
cause.

The summons directs Mr.. Lewis
to appear Monday before the Vir-
ginia State Corporation Commission
to show why the United Mine Work
ers' Union should not be enjoined
from selling memberships, as vio-

"If I don't serve the papers to-

delay of 8 or 10 days could not in

Justice Goldsborough asked Mr..
Lewis counsel how they could ra-
tionalize the recognition of ,Fed-

under a section Of the Smith
Connally Act, and still contend that

not applicable to the mine workers.
Mr.. Padway and Mr.. Kaiser ar

WAA Expects Rush
For Generators With
Failing Coal Supply

Just as in the last coal strike, the
War Assets Administration expects
to do a rushing business in surplus
gasoline engine-d driven electric gen.
orators, it was learned today.
The self contained generators
can provide light and power for
home or business and the WAA has
between 5000 and 10000 Of them
throughout the country.
Clayton T. Cunningham, chief of
the electric equipment section In
WAA's general industrial equipment
division, said WAA sold 100000
worth of the generators during the
59-day coal strike last spring.
They were bought by hospitals,
restaurants, hotels, streetcar and
railroad companies, he said.
Most of Diesels Gone.
Originally WAA had large sup
ply of both gasoline engine driven
and Diesel engine driven generators,
but most of the Diesels are gone
now. There are a few on the West
Coast and some closer to home, but
the latter are in need of repairs.
AS for the gasoline engine driven
generators, used by the Army and
Navy for camp and hospital light
ing during the war, the WAA has
about 1900 of them within a ESQ
mile radius of Washington, Mr..
Cunningham reported.
They vary from 3-KVA (kilovolt
ampere) sets at $480 to 25-KVA
plants at $500. They run on al
ternating current.
Mr.. Cunningham said a 3-KVA
plant would be strong enough to
light several homes, while four of
the 25-KVA sets could handle the
lighting and power load of large
theater.
At Depot in Baltimore.
The equipment chief said if he
wanted one in a hurry, he would
go to the Holabird Depot at Balti-
more, sign a sales order, hand over
the check, call trucking company
and accompany his generator back
to Washington.
"The plant is complete" he ex-
planned. 'It could be running with
in no time at all. All you have to
do is run the cable for the genera
tor set to the distribution panel or
main switch"
The generators, he explained, act
the same way as if a householder
or store owner were drawing power
from the electric company. The
generator. in other words, could
provide the power to run a toaster
or a waffle iron-if you want to
spend s480 to get waff1es for break
fast.

Coal Operators Told
Company Store Credit

q. = The prospect of bare

advised some operators that ex-
tension of credit at company
owned stores might be viola
tion of the Smith Oonnally
Act.
Harry G. Kennedy, executive,
secretary for the Kanawha
Coal Operators Association. re-
ported some owners had been
advised that extension of
credit to strikers might be a
violation" of the section of the
act forbidding encouragement
of strikes at Government-held
operations.

he knew of no instance where
credit has been withheld. In

to hold the miners to their contract
and keep them on the job. Justice
Goldsborough said the merits Of the
Injunction request would be con-
sidered after the contempt charge.
Mr.. Lewis contends his right to
reopen and terminate the Krug-
Lewis agreement on notice was car
|Eied over from the 1945 contract with
the private coal operators. i.
Cite Krug-Lewis Pact.
The Government, led by Secre-
ftary Krug and Attorney General
Clark, holds that the reopening
provisions of the 1945 contract were
amended and not carried over into
the Krug-Lewis agreement. They
cite the preamble OF the Krug-
Lewis pact, which states that it
covers for the period of Govern
ment operation ="
Mr.. Lewis demands for a SO per
cent increase in the miners basic
hourly wage of S1.181z, and doubling
of the union welfare fund tax OF
5 cents per ton on coal, have been
overshadowed by subsequent devel-
opments.
Should Justice Goldsborough find
MIR. Lewis and the union guilty of
contempt, he can assess most any
penalty he sees fit-jail, fine or both.
Some Federal officials hope that, in
event of conviction. big fine will
be assessed for each day the strike
is allowed to continue. That would
be calculated to put on the pressure
to end the strike.
If Mr.. Lewis is found guilty of
contempt, leaders of the battle
against him also may press for in
dictment of him and other union
officials for violation of the no
strike Smith Connally Act. No fur
ther action would be taken If Mr..
Lewis called off the strike.

Court Judge of Jurisdiction.
Justice Goldsborough replied en-
phatically, after Mr.. Padway fin
ished speaking:
unless it is clear case of
usurpation the court is the sole
Judge of its own jurisdiction"
He added: There is nothing in
this case to indicate judicial
usurpation (of jurisdiction)."
Mr.. Lewis, who sat stony-faced
throughout the hearing, and the
UNIV so far have made no at
tempt to show that they tried to
obey the judges restraining order
of November 18, which instructed
the UNIV chief to withdraw his
notice to the Government that their
working agreement was ending No

At one point, Justice Goldsborough
told Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV that
they made "a very great mistake"
in walking out before the courts
ruled on the UNIV contract dispute
with the Government.
Interrupting arguments for dis
missal of the contempt citation,
Justice Goldsborough said: 1.-THE
court feels that your action in not
waiting for a judicial determination
was a very great mistake on your
part"
Regular Jury Trial Suggested.
The small courtroom was so
crowded that only IL spectators were
able to find seats. Hundreds were
left outside in the corridors.
Justice Goldsborough announced
at the outset it had been suggested
that Mr.. Lewis might be entitled
to the right" of a regular jury trial.
Accordingly, the jurist said he was
considering empaneling jury with
full power to convict or acquit the
union chieftain.
Assistant Attorney General John
r. Sonnet, chief Government coun-
sci, quickly told the court the Gov
ernment contends Mr.. Lewis has
no such right.

could adopt or reject its verdict as
he chose.
