no authority to rescind the order for
the strike. which. they assert, was de-
cided upon by the regular convention
of the U. NJ. W. A. meeting in Cleve-
land in September.
U. S. to Use Lever Act.
In case the recall order should be
issued by the miners general commit
tee and some of the individual mem
bers of the union refuse to recognize
the authority OF the order and remain
idle. any action contemplated by the
government could not be learned this
morning. A hint. however, was given
during the proceedings in the U. S.
district court here Saturday when
Judge Anderson said:
THE Lever act makes 1t unlawful
conspiracy for two or more persons
to arrange to limit the production of
coal That is perfectly apparent to

No action. it was said, is planned by
the government until after the time
set by Judge Anderson for the is
suance of the strike recall order
Meanwhile attorneys for the union
were said to be busy preparing their
case for an appeal to the U. S. circuit
court of appeals in Chicago.
