MINER LEADERS
SILENT UNTIL
AF TER MEETING
Lewis Denies That He
Said He Would Not
Obey Order of Court.
Many Union Members
Maintain Full Conven-
tionMust CallOff Strike

indianapolis, Nov. 9.-John L.
Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, today denies that he has
refused to comply with the
order Of the federal court here
to call off the strike of bitumin-
Gus coal miners Of the country
after 6 o'clock next Tuesday
evening.
Statements to the effect that
| shall Or shall not comply with
the mandatory proceeding of the
injunction writ are unauthorized
and premature" he declared.
Mr.. Lewis declaration was made in
view of q reported statement of council
for the miners that Mr. Lewis and Sec
William Green pur-
posed to obey the courts order, but that
they could not speak for other officials.
Officials TO Meet
While Mfr. Lewis would not comment
further on the subject. others indicated
that the statement of the miners attor-
ney was intended to show a willingness
of the two officials to call a meeting of
the international officers, district presi-
dents, executive board and members of
the miners scale committee to consider
the court order.
The outcome of the union officials
conference is problematical.
Many of the union members have con-
tended ever since the strike was called
that as the strike was ordered by the full
of the miners in Cleveland
only another convention could authorize
calling it off. Another phase of the sit
uation in connection with the court S
order presents the question of what
action the government might take if
the miners, as individuals, refuse to obey
an order of officials resembling the strike
order.
Federal Agents inactive.
Government officials are taking no
action pending the expiration of the time
given the union chiefs to withdraw the
strike order.
c. r. Ames, assistant attorney general,
in charge of the governments proceed
ings against the mine owners, has re-
turned to Washington. John b. Creigh-
ton. bureau of investigation official, is
IN Indianapolis and will direct govern
nent officials charged with enforcement
IF the courts injunction.
The operators still maintain the atti-
.ude adopted after the strike was called
that is, to reopen negotiations as soon
Is the miners resume work.

URGE REVOLT
AND MURDER
To GAIN END
Plans Revealed in Docu-
ments Seized in Raids
by Federal Agents.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Plans
of the Union of Russian Work
ers to bring about an overthrow
of all government through q
general strike is revealed in
documents seized in the nation
wide raids of federal authorities
Friday and Saturday nights and
made public by Assistant Attor-
ney General Garvan.
With the government overthrown.
wiped from the earth that is a reminder
of the right to private ownership of
property, the Russian workers, accord
ing to their manifesto, looked forward,
to the magnificent. beautiful form of q
man without a God, without a master
and free of authority
The documents and publications OBJ
tanned IN the raids, officials said, are ef
the most inflammatory nature and make
no effort to conceal the unions program
of destruction and death to achieve its
lends.
Matter Is UnprntabIe.
Much of the material made public is Of
such nature as to cause any newspaper
publishing it to be barred from the mails.
Included among .he documents seized,
all of which are printed in Russian, Is
ovomirsky-manisfesto Of anarchists
communists"
This publication, the most recent put
out by the union, was said by MIR. Gar
van to be the most dangerous piece of
propaganda ever disseminated by any
radical organization in the United States.
The manifesto outlines the purpose of
the movement inaugurated by the union
as, complete destruction of private con-
troll of natural resources and capital and
complete destruction of power of rule
and the institution invested with powers
to enforce rule of one man over an
other"
Under the caption of what should be
our means of carrying on the fight?" the
manifesto says: What must we do,
the vanguard of the proletariat? We
must consciously hasten the elementary
movement of the struggle of the working
class; we must convert small strikes
into general ones, and convert the latter
into armed revolts Of the laboring classes
against capital and state
Seize All Wealth.
''At the time of this revolt we must
at the first favorable opportunity resort
to an immediate seizure of all means of
production and make the working classes
the masters in fact of all general wealth.
At the same time We must merclessy
destroy all remains of government au-
thority and class domination, lberating
the prisoners, demolish prisons and po-
lice offices; destroy all legal papers per-
tanning to private ownership of proper
ty; all of the field fences and boundaries,
and burden all certificates of indebted
ness-in word, we must take care that
everything is wiped from the earth and
effect the destruction of public and pri-
vate ownership of property; blow up bar
racks, kill gendarmes, shoot the most
prominent military and police officers.
must be the most concern of the revolt
ing working people. In the work of-tle-
struction we must be merciless for the
slightest weakness upon our part may
afterward cost the working classes
