10000 men, General John ]. Pershing
told a joint meeting Of the senate and
military committees that he thought

make it impracticable to set the fig

The general said the regular army
should be sufficient to protect the ma

(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 31.-A tenn
porary injunction obtained here today
by the government cannot avert the
strike Of bituminous coal miners set
for midnight tonight, according to
John L. Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers. Lewis pro-
nouncement came shortly after he had
been served with a writ stopping
strike activities and union headquar-
tiers here. Lewis dictated the follow
ing statement:
Il regard the issuance of this injunc-
ton as the most sweeping abrogation
Of the rights of citizens guaranteed
under the constitution and defined by
statutory law, that has ever been
issued by any federal court.
This instrument will not avert the
strike Of bituminous mine workers
and will not settle the strike after it
occurs. Injunction only complicates to
further degree the problems involved
in an injunction of the controversy"
Service in the restraining order was
had on Lewis, and several other union
officials and members of the executive
board at union headquarters a few
minutes before noon. This was a little
more than a hour after Judge Ander-
