wi. Whether ne has lent his sci
vices as judge to the coal operatoI~
If West Virginia bya improperly issu
ng injunctions."
We lind from the evidence tina,
Judge Dayton issued restraining or
lers of very drastic scope and com
" coal operators of West Virginia
.gainst their operatives and EN-
,loyees, which restraining orders were
lfterwards by him made injunctions,
nd for the alleged violation of said
njunctions a number of persons were
rdered by him punished by fine anG
Imprisonment as for contempt of the
rder of the court.
In one case-that Of The Hitchman
GOAL Co. US. John Mitchell ct al.-he
,ssued a restraining order and made
permanent order of injunction pro
libiting the peaceable persuasion o.
my person to cause or attempt t
ause any employee of the Hitchmal
Coal Co. to join labor union whe'
he Hitchman Coal Co had contract
With said employee not to join a labor
lnfon.
The evidence shows that this ruling
oy Judge Dayton affecting the right
cause by peaceable persuasion any
such employee to join a labor union
was reversed by the United States
Court of Appeals, but this case is now
before the Supreme Court of the Uni
ed States for adjudication and there
ore we do not deem 1t proper to
make further report on this matter
It this time.
Subsequently Judge Dayton issued
mother restraining order, without no.
ice to the defendants in the case of
The West Virginia Coal Co. VS.. John
:. White ct al, which he afterwards
made permanent Injunction, and
which likewise was most drastic and
and based upon his
ormer opinion, as expressed by him
n the Hitchman Coal Co. case.
The proceedings in this case will be
eferred to in connection with the
ext specification.
wi. Whether he has shown hat
ed and bitterness steward miners on
rial in his court"
The evidence adduced shows that
Judge Dayton before he became fudge
nd after that time was associated at
EAST as holder of stock In certain
bal mining operations In his judicial
lstrict of West Virginia, and that
