Immediate de facto recognition of Communist China, and endorsement of the "general provisions" of the Taft-Hartley Act, were among the many other resolutions passed at the conference...
...decision stunned Government attorneys and operators. The miners had worked out a way to beat the Taft-Hartley Act injunction, which was designed to handle labor disputes in a national crisis. While Welly Hopkins received the congratulations of friends, President Truman took the only course that was still left open to him.

With his two instructions on the record, Lewis himself had an obvious defense. In any case, that argument might drag out. Meanwhile, what about the coal? What was the country's defense against a strike that brought about economic paralysis? Harry Truman had declared that he had no right to seize...
