WHEELING, W. va, Aug. 6.-While the in
activity Of coal strike leaders in West Virginia
has been attributed to the Columbus confer
dhces of labor leaders, where plans are being
laid to prosecute the work In West Virginia,
the intunctions issued by Judge Mason Of the
Marion Circuit Court and Judge John Jay
jackson Of the United States District Court
are the real cause of the apparent suspension
Of the arranged programme OF President Ratch'
ford and his follow officials of the Mine Work
ers' Union Notwithstanding the incorrect
statements Of correspondents and news asso-
Citations that copies Of the two injunctions had
been served on some OF the strike leaders, the
two wT1ts arc entirely responsible for the lull

tators from entering the Monongah field. but
