Local Number 413, of Springfield.
Criminal prosecutions are asked
against "these men in Illinois who
have brasenly defrauded District

The first appeal denies the right of
the Peoria conve!S to assess llli-

Of Kansas miners in the fight against
the industrial court on the ground that
District IL (Illinois) "has no power
to levy assessments for any purposes

No Action For Accounting of Funds.
The local calls attention TO the fact
that two months have passed since the
convention met but state officers have
taken no action obeying the request
for an accounting of the funds spent
in suppressing the wild cat strike
although they have admitted they
could do so.'
This. the appeal says. amounts to
secession" The international had al
so demanded the accounting. The To-
cal asks that steps be taken to compel
the accounting. and to protect the
funds of District Number II from di-
version to private use. I'VE further
ask the international union to bring
all its influence to bear to have these
men in Illinois, who have brazenly de-
frauded District II by padded express
accounts and other illegitimate means
and those officials Of District II, who
aided them such fraud criminally
prosecuted"
