LAW
FEDERAL GRAND JURY CALLED
Six officials of Miners Unions Fur
nish $4,000 Bond For Ap-
pearance.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 5.-Upon
the heels of its institution of con-
tempt proceedings against officials of
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, the Government has taken steps
to broaden the scope of its prosecu-
tion in connection with the strike Of
coal miners and will investigate al
legged violations of the Lever Fuel
Control Act and the Sherman anti
trust law by miners, operators and
others.
United States District Judge A. B.
Anderson ordered a special session
Of the Federal grand jury here next
Monday morning and Immediately
afterward statement was given out
by United States District Attorney
L. Bert Slack and Dan w, Simms,
special district attorney, who is aid
ing the injunction proceedings, de-
claring that the time has arrived to
determine whether this is a govern
ment of law or group of men.
Six Furnish Bond.
This morning six officials of the
United Mine Workers of America,
who were charged with criminal con
tempt for alleged violation of the
Federal courts injunction against
the strike, appeared at the Federal
building and furnished bond of $10,-
600 each for their appearance in
court next Tuesday, They were Jno.
L. Lewis, acting president of the or
ganization;; William Green, secre-
tary-treasurer; Ellis Searles, editor
of the Mine Workers Journal; Per
cy Tetlow, statistician, and Edward
Stewart and William Mitch, officials
Of District No. IL.
The charges against seventy eight
other miners representatives of vio-
lation of the injunction, were printed
and certified and copies were being
mailed to an court districts in which
defendants reside. 1t was stated that
as soon as this information is receiv-
ed in the various districts, Capiases
will be issued for arrest OF men nam
ed in the charges, and removal pro
ceedings to procure their appearance
in court here viii be Instituted.
Probe Nation Wide.
The grand jury investigation, call
ed primarily to deal with charges
agaist coal operators, win cover all
phases of the controversy in the coal
industry, and viii be nationwide m
it's scope, it was stated. The state
ment Of Government attorneys
brought out that the investigation
was intended not only to furnish re-
lief in the present coal crisis, but
that the Government expects to pros
ecute all violators of the law and
viii see that they suffer the penalties
provided by law. The Lever act car
ries a penalty of $4,000 fine or inn
prisonment not to exceed two years
in the penitentiary.
1t was stated that the determina-
tion to begin the grand jury investi-
cation came as a result of disclos
ures in the proceedings against the
miners leaders, which tended to
show that the coal operators, as well
as the miners, were in conspiracy
to violate the Lever law. Agents of
the Department of Justice two weeks /
ago started an investigation of al
legged violation of the Sherman anti
trust law by operators and the evil
denee collected by them added to
that secured in previous investiga-
lions the miners.
