would start for California Saturday.
The following from the Sherman
Democrat of Tuesday says:
Tragic News awaits Mr. and Mrs.
Ollie Hall on their arrival in Califor-
nia, where they plan to spend their
remaining years with sons and daugh-
ters.
About three weeks ago two of their
sons, Leroy and Verlon Hall were in
a srious car wreck in California. Le-
roy, who suffered a brain concussion,
never regained consciousness and
died Nov. 21. Verlon is in a serious
condition in a Corcoran, Calif., hos-
pital but hope is held for his recovery.
The family of Mr. and Mrs. Hall
were advised by a physician not to
tell their parents of the accident be-
cause of the age and illness until they
reached California. Mrs. Hall has
been ill for some time.
Mrs. Hall and her daughter, Mrs. T.
H. Harper of California, left by train
from Dallas Friday night and a son, I
Floyd, also of California, and Mr. Hall
left Celina Saturday by car. They
expected to meet the train in Bakers-
field, Calif., Monday.

This Thursday morning Jack
Weeks, brother of Mrs. Hall, called in
and told us the Halls arived safely in
California and stood the shock of
then- son’s death better than was ex-
pected. The other son is doing nice-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (AP).—
John L Lewis was found guilty
Tuesday of CRIMINAL CONTEMPT
OF COURT—with a possible heavy-
sentence—but the coal strike went
on.
Lewis responded to the guilty ver-
dict by rising in the federal court-
room and making a BITTERLY DE-
FIANT SPEECH. He accused the
judge of depriving the coal miners of
their constitutional rights. He said
he would “firmly stand” on his posi-
tion.
After this dramatic scene Judge
Goldsborough sat pondering for four
minutes, then put of sentencing Lew-
is until Wednesday morning.
In a soft, hardly audible voice, the
Judge pornounced his verdict by
agreeing to the conclusions proposed
to him by 'the United States Justice
Department.
Burke Resigns Post.
Those conclusions, made public two
hours later, showed the Judge had
found both Lewis and his union—
the United Mine Workers (AFL) —
guilty of “civil contempt” and “crim-
inal contempt.”
The document said Lewis and the
-union had “unlawfully QOERCED,
instigated, induced, and ENCOURAG-
ED” the miners to INTERFERE with
the operation of the government-own-
ed coal mines “by STRIKE, SLOW-
DOWN, WALKOUT, .CESfSATlON
OF WORK OR OTHERWISE.”
Tuesday’s historic verdict against
Lewis came on the thirteenth day of
the soft coal walkout. MORE AND
MORE of the nation’s industry FELT
THE PINCH as coal piles shrank.
And the OUTLOOK for getting the
men back was GLOOMY AS EVER.
Edward R. Burke, who wanted the
private coal operators to sit down
and bargain with Lewis, resigned
as president 'of the Southern Coal
Producers Association. He quit after
a powerful section of his board or
directors DENOUNCED HIS PRO-
POSAL for talks with Lewis.
At Columbus, Ohio. Gov. Lausche
Tuesday night placed a State Guard
company at the disposal of Hamilton,
first city in Ohio to be hit severely
by the coal shortage, and pledged to
use “EVERY power in my possession”
to HELP the Federal Government
achieve “a defeat of DICTATOR-
SHIP and a TRIUMPH of the peo-
ple.”
The Governor announced the guard
company would “aid the local police
in the protection of the LIVES and
PROPERTIES of the people of that
city, which will be in complete dark-
ness in the night season on account
of the coal strke.”
Order Expires Saturday.
Judge Goldsborough asked the at-
torneys on both sides—foi* the gov-
ernment and Lewis—to give their
views Wednesday morning on what
penalties he would impose.
He said this was an “USUAL re-
quest but certainly not an IMPROP-
ER” one.
The restraining order, issued by
Judge Goldsborough Nov. 18, will ex-
pire Saturday. Government lawyers
have asked for an injunction, and this
request is still pending. A restrain-
ing order and an injunction have the
same general effect, but a restrain-
ing order can be issued without a
hearing, as a stopgap to preserve the
status quo until a court can deter-
mine whether to issue an injunction.
Lewis Tuesday stood 'before the
Judge and proclaimed “I cannot, by
action or inaction, acquiesce in what
must be described as the UGLY RE-
CRUDESCENCE OF GOVERNMENT
BY INJUNCTION.”
Says Constitution Violated.
In his deep, rolling deliberate
voice, he said the Norris-LaGuardia

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (AP).—
John L. Lewis was fined $10,000 and
his United Mine Workers $3,500,000
Wednesday after a roaring courtroom
scene in which Lewis challenged the
Judge to fine him anything he pleas-
ed.
The Judge replaced his no-strike or-
der of Nov. 18 with a temporary in-
junction. Thus Lewis is still under
orders to end his strike.
“Evil, Monstrous Thing.”
The mild-voiced Judge called that
strike “an evil, demoniac, monstrous
thing.” He said it means “hunger
and cold, and unemployment and des-
titution.”
He said it threatened democratic
government itself, and “if actions o£
this kind can be SUCCESSFULLY
persisted in, the government will be
OVERTHROWN, and the government
that would take its place would be a
DICTATORSHIP.”
He declared that the first act of a
