...still being exported, that substantial stockpiles exist and that negotiations between union and management had resumed. (Later he admitted that the talks were only preliminary. "We were just cussing each other as usual.") Combs said the union leadership would do whatever the court ordered. "But I can't speak for 20-some districts and more than 700 locals." Replied Judge Robinson: "You've put your finger right on it." After the hearing adjourned, the judge, as expected, granted the restraining order.
