GOVERNMENT CLAIMS
STRONG CASE AGAINST
LEADERS Of ST RIK {

indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 4--Machine.
ry of the department of justice was put
in motion today to bring about appear.
ance in federal court here at an early
date Of all Of the S4 international and
district officials of the United Mine
Workers OF America, against whom in.
formation charging criminal contempt
Of court was filed yesterday with Unit
ed States District Judge a. b. Ander-
son.
The general charges against the
miners heads allese that since the is
suance Of the injunction against en-
couragement of the strike or action to
limit the production, every official has
violated the injunction by passively
conserving that the strike be continu-
ed and maintaining an attitude toward
the membership and by statements TO
Representatives Of the Associated Press
and newspapers that said membership
will not go back to work but will remain
on strike" The attitude of the govern.
dence against the miners Is that by
merely refraining from returning to
work after the strike order had been
rescinded by the union leaders and the
injunction had been published the men
are guilty Of violating the courts man.
date.
An important charge, and one on
which the government is relying TO
prove It's case, Is that the officials,
when issueing their notice that the
strike order had been rescinded, mimeo.
graphed the notice on blank paper and
omitted from the copies an imprint Of
the official seal OF the union
1t is added that upon receipt OF the
notice the unions throughout the coun
try took the position, and $50 stated
in the daily press and by word OF
mouth, that the withdrawal and can.
collation. notice was defective, invalid
and without authority" because 1t did
not bear this seal and because the sig.
natures OF officials were printed and
not signed by hand.
President Lewis ia specifically cited
in one charge with refusing to notify
the members that the withdrawal order
was issued and communicated in good
faith and that its purpose really was to
cancel the strike. The charge adds that
Mr. Lewis still refuses to send out such
assurance.
