WILSON SAYS HE'S INDICATED.
Sees In Mine Workers' 1ndict me N 10
sanction for signing MN.

WASH fN0ToN, Dec. 8.-President VIII
son to-day took occasion to make pub
lie his belief that through the recent in
dictment Of certain high officials Of the
United Mine Workers Of America by a
Federal Grand Jury at Pueblo. Col. his
action in signing the last sundry civil
appropriation bill had been vindicated.
The President was criticised because
the bill contained a special provision
whereby an inhibition was placed upon
the use BY the Department OF Justice
Of any Of the 100000 appropriated for
the enforcement Of the Sherman law III
either the investigation or the employ
ment Of special counsel against labor
unions or farmers associations.
II was pointed out that in this instance
tho Pueblo Grand Jury had tal;en the
initiative. The indictments had been
brought without the expenditure of Fed
eral funds for investigation.
