JUSTICES BLACK AND DOUGLAS
tConcurring in Part and
Dissenting in Part)
For the reasons given in the
court S opinion, we agree that neither
the Norris-LaGuardia Act nor the
War Labor Disputes Act barred the
Government from obtaining the in
junction it sought in these proceed
Iings. -
We have no doubt that the miners
became Government employees when
the Government took over the
mines. $50
Since the Norris La Guardia Act is
inapplicable, we agree that the Dis
trict Court had power in these pro-
ceedings to enter orders necessary
to protect the Government against
an invasion of the rights it asserted.
pending adjudication OF the contro-
versy its complaint presented to the
court, 49,
We agree that the court had pow
er sun1marily to coerce obedience to
those orders and to subject defen-
dantS to such conditional sanctions
as were necessary to compel obedi-
ence. And we agree that in such
civil contempt proceedings to COM
pei obedience, it was not necessary
for the court to abide by all the pro-
cedural safeguards which surround
trials for crime.
Yet the decision of this court also
approves unconditional fines as
criminal punishment for past diso-
bedience. We cannot agree to this
aspect of the courts judgment. At
a very early date, this court de-
| clared. and recently it has reiterated,
that in contempt proceedings courts
should never exercise more than
"the least possible power adequate
to the end proposed" The imposi-
ton of criminal punishment here
| was an exercise of far more than
"the least possible power adequate
to the end proposed" For here the
great and legitimate "end proposed"
was affirmative action by the defen-
dants to prevent interruption of coal
production pending final adjudica-
ton of the controversy. Coercive
sanctions sufficient to accomplish this
end were justified. From the record
we have no doubt but that condi-
tional civil sanction would bring
about at least as prompt and un-
equivocal obedience to the courts
order as would criminal punishment
for past disobedience.
If the $4,000 fine on Defendant
Lewis and the 100000 fine on the
defendant union be treated as coer-
Give fines, they would not neces-
sarily be excessive. For they would
then be payable only if the de-
PENDANTS continued to disobey the
courts order. -
We should modify the District
Courts DEGREES by making the en-
tire amount of the fines payable
conditionally. On December Z, 1916,
Mr.. Lewis directed the mine workers
to return to work until midnight,
March 81, 1947. But, so far as
we are aware, the notice which pur-
ported to terminate the contract
has not been withdrawn. Thus,

Case Is Test for u. ". Function

Being deeply convinced that American security
and the value of official pledges as well as basic
stake in the test of Poland the Supreme Council
of the Polish American Congress- Inc, expresses its
confidence that the of Poland temporarily closed
by the Illegal null and void Yalta agreement will be
reopened before the supreme international body of
the General Assembly of the United Nations first

decency in international relations.
The Supreme Council of the Polish American

steps in order to have the of Poland submitted
to the General Assembly Of the United Nations.
However it is not Poland that shall stand accused
before the United Nations. The People of Poland

been and IS being done to them by their alien

by withdrawal of relief from abroad by any similar
actions, because they are not guilty Of the crimes @
Soviet Russia and its agents acting in Poland Action
should be taken against the oppressor and his agents
and not against the oppressed.
Having carefully considered all the facts and
circumstances of the case OF Poland as presented by
mind that very recently, namely on December IL,
1916, the General Assembly of the United Nations
acted with regard to country which is not occupied
by foreign power, on case in which distinction
was made between the interests of the people and
those of government, the Supreme Council of the
Polish American Congress- 1nc is convinced that the
United States Government should submit the case OF
Poland to the General Assembly OF the United Nations
thus paving the way to further action aiming at recall
of Russian occupational troops and full restoration
of Poland's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Hence our judgment should pro-

that full and unconditional obedi-

including withdrawal of the notice
which purported to terminate the
contract, is not had on or before

Human Rights of u. ~.
Charter Violated

The government of Soviet Russia, indulging since
1899 to this day in threat of force against
the territorial integrity political independence of
any State" stands accused of this violation under
Article 2, paragraph of the Charter. Moreover, the
conduct Of the government of Soviet Russia clearly
violates the stipulations of the Preamble of the
Charter Of the United Nations, to-wit: 1--WE the
peoples of the United Nations are determined to
reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the
dignity and worth of the human person. in the equal
rights of men and women and of nations larger and
and respect for the obligations arising from treaties
and other sources of international law can be main
tanned ;"
This conduct also violates stipulatons of para
graph / and 2 of Article / of the said Charter,
to-wt: "the purposes Of the United Nations are:
Cd To maintain international peace and security and
to that end to take effective collective for
the prevention and removal of threats to the peace
and for the suppression OF acts Of or other
relations among nations based on respect for the
principle of equal rights and sef-determination of

Terr0rised Election

In the words of the Hon. Arthur H. vandenberg,

something more than rgged and terrorized election
which defes and defeats every elementary concept
of autonomy self determination and democracy and
which nulifies the most solemn pledges of which
Britain and the United States and Soviet Russia
capable This finding now seems to be officially con-
frmed to controlling degree by the statement issued
by the State Department in Washington"
It was always the opinion Of the six million
Americans of Polish descent united in the Polish
American Congress, that what Senator vandenberg
rightly calls defeat of every elementary concept of
autonomy, sef-determination. and democracy" actu-
ally was the result of the Yalta agreement which
ratified by the u S. Senate and is therefore null
and void Under this perfdious agreement Poland,
deprived of its national sovereignty partitioned by
her Allies. had government imposed upon her people
by a foreign power The only point which was de-
signed to conceal the fact that the Yalta agreement
was complete capitulation to Russian aggressive
Imperialism at the expense of Poland was the proviso
under which free and unfettered elections" were to
be held in Poland.
The leading United States authorities have now
declared this provSo violated They express the
view of the majority of Americans that the Yalta
agreement, raught with mortal dangers for the peo-
pies of Europe and the Western Hemisphere, the
United States included. has lost its validity.

Petition q. s. House
the Second Annual of Council Of he Polish
An UntulfHed Pledge

On February 4, 1947 while receiving the mock
ambassador sent to Washington by the usurpers of
Poands sovereignty and the oppressors of the Polish
nation the President Of the United States declared
Soviet Russia at the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences
in guaranteeing free elections in Poland. "It is
people"-the President said-"that the Polish pro-
visional government has failed to fulfill that pledge"
This statement of the President of the United
States was corroborated fully and officially by the
State Department on January %, 1s47, when it de-
clared that, 9" the provisional government (of
Poland -. employed during the election campaign)

ernment cannot consider that the provisions of the

The Case Cannot Rest

The Supreme Council of the Polish American Con-
gress, assembled at its annual convention in Wash
ington, D G., desires to point to the conclusions
uary 49, 1s47, namely, that there cannot be any
thought "of resting the case upon the mere filing of
an unpursued indictment, when the indictment
the Atlantic Charter and the United Nations Charter
There must be more convincing answer" The
Supreme Council of the Polish American Congress
fully shares Senator Vandenbergs conviction that the
United States cannot rest the Polish after having
filed an Indictment
The above mentioned statements of President
Truman and Senator Vandenberg, substantiated and
corroborated by eyewitness reports of numerous
American correspondents who observed the vicious
travesty upon the promised freedom and democracy
in Poland reveal fragrant violation Of the Charter
of the United Nations.

case. Section provides in clear
unmistakable language that mo

have jurisdiction to issue any re-
straining order or temporary or
permanent Injunction in any case
involving or growing out of any
labor dispute =" i" That Ian
guage, which is repeated in other
sections of the act, is sufficient by
itself to dispose of this. case with
out further ado. -
The crux of this case is whether
the fact that the Government took
over the possession and operation
of the mines changed the private
character of the underlying labor
dispute between the operators and
the miners so as to make inap-
plicable the Norris-La Guardia Act.
The answer is clear. Much has
been said about the Governments
status as employer and the miners
status as Government employees fol-
lowing the seizure. In my opinion,
the miners remained private en-
ployes despite the temporary gloss
Of Government possession and
operation of the mines -
Moreover, if seizure alone justifies
an injunction contrary to the ex-
pressed will of Congress, some future
Government could easily utilize
seizure as subterfuge for breaking
any or all strikes in private in
dustries. -
Congress has fatty forbidden the
issuance of all restraining orders
under this act. 1t follows that
when such an order is issued de-
spite this. clear prohibition, no man
can be held in contempt thereof,
however unwise his action may be
as matter of policy. When he
violates the void order, 28 U. S. c.
Section 385 comes into operation,
forbidding punishment for contempt
except where there has been dis

of a court.

under which the order is issued. ="
Violations of an order are pun
ishable as criminal contempt, even
though the order is set aside on
appeal - or though the basic
action has become moot. -"
The defendants have pressed upon
us the procedural aspects of their
trial and allege error SO prejudicial
as to require reversal Of the judg-
ments for civil and criminal con-
tempt. But we have not been
persuaded.
The question is whether the pro-
ceedings will support judgments for
both criminal and civil contempt;
and our attention is directed to
Rule AZ (B) of the rules Of criminal
procedure. The rule requires GRIM
inal contempt to be prosecuted on
notice stating the essential facts
constituting the contempt charged.
In this respect, there was COM
pliance with the rule here.
Not only were the defendants
fully informed that a criminal
contempt was charged, but we think
they enjoyed, during the trial itself,
all the enhanced projections ac-
corded defendants in criminal con-
tempt proceedings.
