ers of striking coal miners today con-
centrated their efforts on fighting the
legal battle, started by the govern
ment to interfere with the strike.
Attorneys from the great Dituml-
nous coal producing states, retained by
district miners organizations, were in
conference with Henry Warrum, CHIEF
counsel for the miners. They spent the
day making a thorough analysis OF the
restraining order issued by Judge A.
5. Anderson, preventing union leaders
from directing the strike.
Two plans of procedure were ais
cussed.
First-Taking the offensive by filing
petition in United States district
court asking that the federal restrain
ing order be dissolved
Second-Remaining on the defen-
sive and awaiting the hearing on the
petition by the government for q
temporary Injunction, scheduled for
next Saturday.
Attorney Warrum stated, after the
conference, that nothing would be
filed in federal court until the latter
part of the week, indicating the latter
course was the one decided upon.
