Union Leaders Make

the Associated tItSS). ~ A1oe'AN'i
wide strike of coal miners seemed
inevitable tonight if operators heed
the injunction issued by Federal
Judge A. 3. Aanderson. which pro-
scribed the check OFF, of union
dues.
A telegram sent late today from
headquarters Of the United Mine
Workers Of America after 1t had
been definitely learned that the in
junction was not yet in effect, ad-
vised union officials to regard dis
continuance Of the CHECK Off as
breaking the existing wage agree
ment
The telegram signed by President
John l.. Lewis, vice president Philip
Murray and Secretary William
Green, said:
ANY abrogation or setting aside
Of any part or section of this
agreement, including the section
providing eor the checking off %
dues and assessments cannot be re-
garded as. other than violation OF
the agreement and should be
treated accordingly by the district
officers and local unions.
While no course of conduct for
union officials was outlined by the
telegram, it was said authoritative
" that the international officers re-
garded the strike as the unions
only weapon to enforce a contract.
The telegram was sent to officials
in sixteen states. where the check
off provision obtains and where
$4,000 of the $4,000 union min
ers are employed.
The text of the telegram fol-
lows:
"As a result Of the disagree
ment between the United Mine
Workers of America and the coal
operators in the fall of 1913 it was
suggested by the government OF the
United States, that the miners and
the operators submit all their diff
ferences to a commission appoint
ed by the president of the United
States, said commission to nave
full authority to render an award
covering every proposition involv-
ed. The United Mine Workers
agreed to this program and the
commission in due time rendered
an award which they decided must
be written into the form of an
agreement by and between the
coal operators and the United Mine
Workers of America to be in full
force and effect until March 81,
1922. Following the rendition
of this award by United States Bit
luminous Coal Commission. func-
tioning under governmental author
ity. the president Of the United
States, in letter addressed to
the coal operators and the United
Mine Workers of America, COM
manded both sides to meet in joint
conference and duly execute such
agreement as directed by the btu
minous coal commission. This was
done and the agreement was duly
signed in New York City as Of
March 81, 1920. 1t is, therefore,
obvious that said joint agreement
honorably entered into and exc
cuted in due form under the di-
rection of the government Of the
United States cannot be modified
or changed in any Of it's provisions
until the date Of its expiration,
March 81, 1922. Any abrogation
or setting aside o. any part or sec
ton of this agreement for the
checking off of union dues and as
sessments, cannot be regarded as
other than a violation Of the agree
ment. and should be treated &C
cordingly by the district officers
and local unions within your juris-
Giction.'

If your dog must be chained part OF

enough to run easily on the wire,
The other end of the chain must have
fastening which can be attached to
the dogs collar, then he can run
up and down the length of the wire
and get some exercise. and also get
into the shade when the sun is hot

 KU KLUX ABANDON PROPOSED MEETING
By Associated Press

Louisville, September 17--Organ- .zers for the ku Klux Klan late to- day announced that the proposed at tempt to hold a meeting in Louisville tonight had been abandoned, and that activities of the organization had been transferred to Jeffersonville, Ind, opposite Louisville, on the Ohio river. The armory in that city, the statement said, had been obtained for an address by the Rev. Caleb A.. Rid ley of Atlanta, preparatory to form ing a branch of the order. Mayor Newton II. Myers of Jeffersonville said the meeting as a peaceful assem blaze had his sanction, although po- lice. he said. had been detailed to see that nothing inconsistent with good citizenship was advocated. The chief of police, whose force consists of four men. said he was governed by the mayors orders.
 Preparations to hold the meeting In Louisville went forward today until Mayor smith detailed plain clothes men to trail the organizer who gave the name of Dr, G. s. Long, formerly a resident of Tulsa. okla. They were instructed to arrest him if he con tnued plans for it. Apparently inn pressed by the determination of city authorities to stop the proposed gath ering, the organizer turned toward Jeffersonville.
