Petitioners, members and officers of Brewery Drivers and Helpers, Local Union No. 133 of St. Louis affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America (the Union), contest their convictions for criminal contempt in this original habeas corpus proceeding. This appeal involves thirteen cases consolidated for review and concerns thirteen separate petitions. The convictions are based on a finding by Circuit Judge Carl R. Gaertner that specific conduct by individual members, as well as general strike policies promulgated by the executive board of the Union, were willful and deliberate violations of a lawful restraining order issued by him. We believe the evidence supports the finding as to all petitioners, except Robert Woodson.
