John L. Lewis, leader of the United Mine Workers of America, along with three other mine officials, was investigated on charges of violating Section 51 of Title 18 of the United States Code.

After a full investigation by the FBI, the Dept. of Justice decided not to prosecute the case and it was closed in 1943.
