JOHN L. LEWIS AND UNIV FINED THIS WEEK FOR
 CONTEMPT; WILL APPEAL

WASHINGTON Federal Jud .e T. Allan Goldborough Wednesday fined the United Mine Workers In ion three and a half million dol lars and John L. Lewis S10,00O for contempt and tken issued an in junction against the coal strike pending final outcome of court rul- ings. The sentencing followed al uproarious session.
 The injunction will replace the restraining order hich Lewis ig- nored ia precipitating the coal crisis. It was this act which brought the contempt of court sen fences.
 The injunction will remain in force until Judge Goldborough rules on a declaration judgement" asked by the government
 Such a judgment will determine whether Lewis broke his contract covering the <government held mines legally or illegally.
 If the injunction also IS disobey- ed, Lewis may again be cited for contempt. and if adjudged guilty. subjected to additional penaltiees
 Union lawyers promptly filed notice of appeal, which is expected to go quickly to the Supreme court
 Lewis heard the sentence impas- sively, although his face muscles twitched.
 Government counsel said it would not object to a stay if the union would post bond and file ap peal papers soon.
 The fine against the union re- presented $250,O0O a day for the duration of the coal strike thus far.
 In passing sentence after tense round of behind-the- scenes confer. enees with lawyers for both gov srnment and union. Judge Colds borough said:
 This tthe coal strike) is one of the most serious threats that has ever developed in this country.
 T don't think anyone wants fol see the uniens kicked moral blow nor any blow which would turn back the conditions of labor.
 T can't say whether labor has a greater friend in this country than I am"
 Goldsborough said the court does not see in the recommenda- lions of the government a edsire to strike at the miners.p
 Describing the coal crisis as "anI evil, a monstrous thing" the tur- ist said:
 It means hunger and cold and oestitution. It's a threat to demo- cratic government itself"

 MERCHANTS OF TOWN

Mrs Doris NJ. Barnes, Mayor of Wrangell, took time out this week to express her appreciation to the merchants of Wrangen for their forbearance in the present crts's which is hitting all Alaska mer- chants and residents. Mayor Barnes statement said:
 Tn the midst of our rush of the holiday season let us take time to give word of praise to our mer- chants and to say thank you
 Probably no consumer knows better than myself what our ma'- chants have gone through for nearly five years. In OPA work and now as Mayor in trying to put be- fore the powers that be our pliglr iii the present strike situation, I have come to know many of tle trials which beset our very good friends, the merchants.
 First it was shortages, lack of help, untold worrisome regulations and price controls with which to contend, ana now il is this smotk- erins effect Of the shipping tie-up which is almost the last straw, All during the war years no chance to lay aside a profit for a rainy day, and now tEe strike which causes them to lose thousands of dollars
 And yet, with a smile, they are trying to serve us. So let us give them a pat on the back and say, Well done, Brother"
