...behalf of California's Superior Oil Co. Even so, the Justice Department had enough evidence to take Neff, Patman and Superior Oil to court. Last week U.S. District Judge Joseph C.

Mine Boss Lewis had good reason to want peace. He had just negotiated another one-year contract with Edward Fox, representing the bituminous coal operators, for a pay increase that would keep Lewis' 180,000 miners well up at the top of the U.S. industrial wage scale...
