MINERS FILE
MOTION To EMO
COURT ORDER
MOTION TO BE HEARD
BY JUDGE ANDERSON
Workers Attack Right Of the
Government to Interfere
In Controversy

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. S.-Tak.
Ing their first step in the nght asainst
the governments efforts to bring about
an end Of the coal miners strik1
through federal court action. attorneys
for the United Mine Workers Of Amer
ica today filed a motion In the United
States district court here asking that
the restraining order issued by Jud1e
Anderson last week be dissolved. The
motion will be argued Saturday. when
the governments petition that the, re.s
straining order be made a temporary in.s
junction comes up for hearing.
The motion attacks the right OF the
government to interfere In the contfo.i
versy, and declares that 1t Is without
"equity and clean hands in the prosecu-
ton Of this suit" The latter assertion
was in connection with statements madc
to show that the Administrations. ~
bringing about conferences In Washing:
ton between the representatives Of tho
operators and miners with Secretary Of
Labor Wilson, recognized the right OK
collective bargaining. but by its iAter
action would arbitrarily deny this right
Attack Administration.
The charge Of lack Of equity va
based on the argument that the pfest-
dent had dissolved the fuel administfa-
ton, following cessation Of hostilities.
and was without authority to re-estAb.t
lish the administratorship without tho
cxigency of war" and that the United
States has thereby brought about COM:
fusion and disorder. Continuing. the
motion declares that "the real and sud-
stantial purpose Of this suit is to have
the court extricate the Administrator
from the unfortunate state OF disorder
in which II has involved itself"
The document attacks the clause OF
the restraining order which prevents
disbursement Of strike benefits. deciaf-,
Ing that the benefit funds, the properly
of the members IN the miners organise
tion. Is denied them without Just cause
and without compensation.
Other sections Of the motion declare
that the governments petition for an
Injunction does not disclose that the
nlaintiff, the United States government.

or in the relief sought. and that II Goes.
