Sonnet, who represented the Gov
ernment, said ofiicials desired fur
cher time to decide whether the
safety work stoppage, now under
way In the coal fields, was in viola
ton Of the pending no-strike in
junction and Of the recent Supreme
Court mandate to Mr.. Lewis not to
violate the Injunction.
Justice Goldsborough said the call
ing of the period of mourning and
the subsequent safety stoppage ARE
facts the court cannot ignore, al
though the court does not question
the sincerity Of the miners grief"
He described as evidence the
court ii unable to shut its eyes to-
that this situation has been taken
advantage Of to call In whole or In
part q strike April /, 1947."
Without mentioning Mr.. Lewis by
name Justice Goldsborough said he
goes as far as he "dares" In dis
obeying orders Of the court. The
justice said q determination of
whether Mr.. Lewis and the mine
workers were acting In good faith
toward the Supreme Court mandate
could not be made In two weeks.
Must Return Mines by July 80.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Son.
nett that under present law the
Government must return the soft
coal mines It seized last May by
July 80. The injunction against a
strike automatically would expire
at that time.
ut seems to me that it Is In the
interests Of the defendants them
selves" Justice Goldsborough said
In suggesting the case be continued
until July, Ito show that between
now and June 80 they intend to
carry out the Supreme Court man
date in good faith. The court feels
1t is the proper thing to do to con-
tinue this case until 10 o'clock on
the morning Of July / and then de-
eide whether the mandate had been
obeyed and decide on the return, OF
the $4,000, 600. As a matter of fact,
the Supreme Court has the right
to change its mind and decide to
put in force the entire fine"
The Supreme Court, In cutting
the $500, 900 fine to $700, 900, had
ordered the $4,000, 900 refund pro-
viding Mr.. Lewis Cancelled q notice
terminating the UNIV contract

Mr.. Press said that while oppon-

most heavily affect those least able

He said the studies showed the
amount of tax and the percentage of
tax increased slightly as income
groups became higher.
