WOULD FIGHT COURT ORDER,
DESPITE JUDGES AND PRISONS
By the Associated Fres?.
PITTSBURGH. Kan.. November $.?
"Regardless of the injunctions,
prisons and judges in the United
States. T will not alter my stand, for
3 believe we are right," tonight de
clared Alexander Howat, president of
the district 14. United Mine Workers
i?f America, when questioned as to
what his attitude would be toward
the court mandates issued in Indian
apolis today. President Howat said
this move had ber.i expected, and the
?*ourt order "makes no difference in
the situation to me."
President Howat. Secretary Thomas
Harvey and George L. Peck, inter-*
national board member from this dis
trict. left tonight for Indianapolis,
where they evpict to meet Monday
ith other officials in session with
John T,. Lewis, acting national presi
dent. Mr. Howat said he expected the
I sessions will la$t until after midnight
Tuesday, therefore, if any arrests are
made, it is assumed officials in Indian
! apolis will make them.
In face of the government order to
i withdraw the strike. Mr. Howat said
j that it was putting things to a "show
i down" and "I am going to fight," he
; continued. ?
; Philip Murray, president of district
i Xo. 5, United Mine Workers of
j America, declined to comment tonight
} on the results of government injunc
! tion proceedings against the union 3t
J Indianapolis today. Mr. Murray said
he bad received no official word from
| international headquarters, and added
; that he would make no statement un
: til he received advices from John L.
; Lewis, president of the union.
| The coal strike situation in the
Pittsburgh district was unchanged to
day, according to reports to both
; operators and union headquarters.
' Similar conditions existed in the cen

41,Q00 CHARLESTON MINERS
TO RETURN "WHEN ORDERED'
Br th<* AseoPiatnl Prcs?. *
CHARLESTON. W. Va? November
S.?The 41.000 striking members of
the United Mine Workers in tliis dis
trict, who quit work on November 1.
will return to work "if ordered to
<li> so by their Naders," C. K. Keeney.
j>re?hlent of District No. IT. United
Urine Workers, said tonight after
learni.ig that the federal court in
Indianapolis had ordered cancella
tion of the strike order. Mr. Keeney.
however, said if any attempt was
r. ade by the operators "to terminate
? listing contracts with the union"
he would probably "find it impossible
to control the men."
The union leader, asserted that "if
ordered to do so" he would withdraw
the strike order, as it was not his
intention to "fight the government."
T. Ij. Lewis, secretary of the New
V.iver Coal Association, said tonight
t ha? "the policy of his association in
; fgard to taking the miners back
had not been decided upon." He
. aid that the New River operators
took the position that "the union's
unlawful strike" had terminated all
< xisting contracts, and added that
i he operators would hold a meeting
? arly next week to decide "the status
of the union miners."
"Our mines are ready to resume op
erations as soon as the men return."
said I>. C. Kennedy, secretary of the
Kanawha Coal Operators' Association.
"We want the men back. I have
heard no opposition to this policy."
Mr. Kenney and H. A. Scott of
Maiden, international hoard members j
for district No. 17: James Gilmore, j
president, and Lawrence Dwyer, in- i
i?rnational board member of district
No. with headquarters at Beck- j
ley. were summoned to Indianapolis '
tonight by a telegram from John L.
l.ewis. acting international president
W the United Mine Workers. They
will leave tomorrowf?r the confer
ence.
? There was little change in the pro
duction throughout the state today,
according to a statement issued by
the West Virginia Coal Association.
which said that thirty-two mines were
in operation in the union fields in
northern West Virginia. Reports to
the association stated that production
in non-union field* was normal, with
a full car supply and practically a full
complement of men.
?"The Pocahontas district has had a
production record during: the wee":
ending today that has not been ex
celled since 1916," the statement said.
At the Kanawha association's head
quarters it was learned that the past
week only two of the 200 mines in
i t'ae Kanawila fields were in opera
! tion and that the loss in coal pro
| duction was 400.000 tons.
The mines operating have a special
union agreement. In the New River
coal fields, where 101 mines are lo
cated. it was announced at the New
River Association headquarters that
the loss in output for the week was,
approximately, 145,000 tons. Seven
small mines in this district have been
operating.
j Reports to military headquarters in
dicated that all was quiet throughout
' the district.
1 Gov. Cornwell announced that he
would make no reply to Mr. Keeney's
letter criticising him for refusing to
ask for a congressional investigation
into Logan county conditions.
"I have other matters to attend to
and cannot devote my time to prolong
ed controversies with Mr. Keeney."
the governor said. "I will have no
reply."

United Mine-Workers should resc'.nd

they would," he said tonight.

PROMINENT IN COAL SITUATION.
Dr. Harry A. Garflrld (left), federal fori administrator, and Walker T.
Hinea, director general of railroads, at the White Honse following the
cabinet meeting Friday. They met with the cabinet to advise on the coal
strike.
MINE OFFICIALS CALLED
TO INDIANAPOLIS TO
RESCIND STRIKE ORDER
(Continued from First I'ape).
__
torney General's department in Wash
ington, repeated the restraining order
of October 31, which forbade the issu
ing of any messages, oral or written,
of "exhortation or encouragement" to
the strikers and also tied up the
union's relief funds. It then pro
vided the mandate for cancellation of
the strike call in the following lan
guage:
Order Canceling Strike.
"And they (the defendants) are fur- .
ther enjoined from permitting the I
strike order issued on or about Octo
ber 13. 101!>, to the miners and mine
workers in the bituminous coal fields
of the United States,- to take effect
on midnight of October 31, 1919, to
longer remain in effect, commanding
them to desist from aiding such strike
by permitting said strike order to re
main in effect, and commanding them
to issue a withdrawal and cancella
tion of said strike order and com
municate the same to district or local
unions, committees and members of
the International United Mine Work
ers of America, as fully and complete
ly as the said strike order has been
(heretofore distributed and circulated |
to the said organization, its members,
district of 10C& unions or any com
mittee thereof."
| If left to pursue its normal course.
I the injunction proceedings probably'
j will rest until November L'O. The de- I
j fendants have until that date to file a j
j formal answer and when that time
expires it is within the province of
the government attorneys to ask that
the temporary injunction i.-sued to
day be made permanent.
It was pointed out by government
officials that this was expected to re
j suit inasmuch as Judge Anderson de
cided the issues in the case today.
Attorneys for the miners indicated
that they will take the case to the
United States circuit court of ap
peals at Chicago at the earliest pos
sible date. Such action, however, will
not affect the injunction proceedings
nor the government's plan to ask that
the temporary injunction be made
permanent on November 20. In the
meantime, it is pointed out, the court's
order to call off the strike must be
carried out.
Pray for Injunction.
"We pray at this time for a manda- I
tory injunction for withdrawal of j
the strike order because notwith- [
standing the restraining order's effect 1
the strikers are still on strike," said
Judge Ames, who opened the argu- !
ments for the government early in j
the proceedings today:
"The situation Is in a ptate of rest, ;
if you please, which in itself works |
injury. That state of rest can be I
Changed to a state of action only by '
cancellation of the illegal strike or- |
der." '
"We feel," said Judge Ames, in con
cluding, "that there is noining com
parable with the importance of as- I
certaining whether the law of this |
country is supreme. When we reach ;
the point where the supremacy of the
law is challenged by any man or body !
of men we have reached the point j
where the decay of the republic has |
set in."
Mr. Warrum. counsel for the miners'
oflicials, started with a flat statement)
that every decision in the country re
lating to strikes had averred the '
right of workmen to strike when un
accompanied by boycott or disorder.
He read opinions to this effect, but
Judge Anderson asked:
| "How do these apply to this case
when there is not a single defendant
in this court who works with his
hands?"
The attorney, said the injunction
against the otficers or agents of the |
miners was in effect an injunction j
! against the miners. On this theory
| he was allowed to continue his argu
ment.
Defendants Are Agents of Men.
"These defendants are not inter
lopers," he said. "They are the duly
constituted agents of the men, ana
the government's bill of complaint it
self shows that the men themselves
ordered the strike and directed their
officers to carry that order into effect.
"It is further important that in the
bill appears the fact that these very
defendants were parties to the Wash
ington wage agreement and recog
nised them as lawful agents. But
now the government turns around and
seeks to place in the position of in
terlopers these same agents when
they carry out other orders of their
principal." . ?
"That is not the question before the
court at all." said Judge Anderson.
"Tho Lever act makes it an unlawful
conspiracy for two or more persons
to arrange to limit production of coal.
That Is iSrrfe-ctly apparent to me.
''y k?"<',vs that. Yon may dis
are convinced the conspiracy exists,
exclaimed the attorney.
"Well, let's go on with the case as
anv other case," said the court.
"Certainly." re-joined Mr. Warrum.
"Judge Evans has held that the war
powers of the Lever act have expired
and "
Holds Lever Act Effective.
"But 1 do not agree with Judge]
Evans." said Judge Anderson. "Con-|
press hail the right to say and did i
say that the Lever act should remain ;
in" force until a definite thing wn; j
dor.e that has not been done. So 1 hold j
that the Lever act is still in force.
"I hold also that stopping work in j
coal mines restricts the productioi j
of fuel. !
"I ain going to hold that even twr
; miners who work with their hands'
may not legally conspire to stop pro- j
j duotion of coal."
i The court also upheld the assertion J
; of the government that the Clayton I
act did not apply to this case.
The discussion swung to the oper- !
! ators' attitude and the judge remark- j
ed they were not in court, that he had j
only one side to the controversy b<r- i
fore him. j
"But bring them in." he said. '
will be willing to enjoin their illegal
acts also."
The war condition of the Lever act j
? and the status of ruen in service i
I came up, leading Mr. Warrum to say: j
"This is a case in equity, not a court- i
' martial." ,
"I don't understand that remark, j
but I concede the fact," said Judge I
| Anderson.
Obstruction From Court. |
Further attempts to bring in the right
!?f employes to quit work singly or
I in a body met with equal obstruction
i from the court.
I "When Congress passed the Lever
bill it made unlawful any conspiracy
! tending to decrease coal production.
. That is the law and that ends it."
j Mr. Warrum sat down and Judge i
i Anderson started a discussion of the j
I Debs railroad case. He pointed out i
jthat the Supreme Court of the United
| States held the government had a right
to get an injunction preventing a rail
road tie-up.
"Now." he said, "the government
controls the railroads and is using
them to transport troops and mails.
Can you assert that any one has a
right to stop the roads in these cir
cumstances?"
"I assert," sai.T Mr. Warrum. "the j
right to strike for higher wages and
to stop the roads if that result is an ]
incident." ?
"You are wrong, said the court.
I "I'm through." said Mr. Warrum.
i William V. Rooker then tried vainly
i to discuss the Lever act, hut the judg^
I cut him short by holding formally
that the act remains in force.
"Can I discuss the allegation of ir
reparable injury?" asked Mr. Rooker.
"Don't waste your time," said Judge
l \nderson. "I am going to hold that
irreparable injury does exist in this
case. Why. millions of dollars are be
ing lost. What is the use in discuss
ing this question or the Lever bill?"
Mr. Hooker agreed there was little.
He then tried to show a difference be
tween the case and the Debs case.
"I suggest you turn to the mandatel
that this strike order be rescinded," J
said Judge Anderson. "I am going to
issue that unless you persuade me
otherwise."
Mr. Rooker agreed there was noth
ing more to be said, and Judge An
derson began his pronouncement.
Judge Anderson's Pronouncement.
"It is not a question for the court
to say when this war ends." he said. ]
"The Lever act is constitutional and i
in force and clearly prohibits the j
thing these men have done. The re- .
straining order ought to be made a i
preliminary injunction, and if the j
government has drawn one it may
read it." ? ?
Judge Ames then read the injunc
tion, which affirmed the restraining
order and also enjoined the defend
ants from continuing the October 15
strike order in effect. It commanded
them to cancel the order and notify
all members, local and district unions
of the cancellation. The time for this
action was left blank and the de
i fendants were ordered to submit the
cancellation order to the court.
The union attorney. President
Lewis .and Secretary Green retired to
consult as to the proper time needed
to issue the cancellation. They agreed
> on November 11.
