Indianapolis, Ind.-0ffcers of the
coal miners union Tuesday prepared
for a probable strike Of its $4,000
members.
If the mine operators obey the In
junction issued by Judge A. B. Ander-
son, preventing operation of the check
of system, union leaders instructed
their men to regard 1t as a violation
of the contract.
This in itself would be sufficient to
cause the men to walk out wherever
the operators refuse to continue the
check of system of collecting union
dues. No general strike order would
be needed. Already several hundred
men have refused to work in the In
diana fields.
The union chiefs gathered here.
however, inspected their financial re-
sources and otherwise drew their lines
in preparation for a general strike
call, provided they deem it necessary.
Judge Anderson Wednesday read
the instructions sent out by the union
heads ON his injunction. He reserved
comment.
1t will be for Judge Anderson to
determine whether this message VIC
lated the injunction. United States
District Attorney Frederick Yanuys
said the matter had come to his at,
tention.
NJ. L. Gould, resident OF the Indiana
coal operators, said Wednesday that
his association plans to obey the in.
junction rather than the miners
threat.
Damned if you do, damned If you
don't" he said.
Gould said there is provision in
the Indiana wage contract and posi-,
oily others which says both the miners
| and their employers must consider the
contract subordinate to federal in
juactfon whenever the two conflict.
President Lewis order affects only
portion of the union membership
The check of is not used in the an,
thracite fields, and the Canadian union
districts are not affected by the in
junction granted In this country.

Central Coal Miners Strike In Protest

Chicago-Twenty-five thousand coal
miners were out on 'ioutlaw strike" in
the central coal fields Wednesday In
protest against the order by Judge A.
B. Anderson preventing operation of
the "check Of" Indications were the
strike would continue to spread.
Frank Harrington, head of the Illi-
nois branch of the United Miners of
America, was In Chicago Tuesday con-
ferring with mine operators. Earring
ton was here to find out if the opera
tors were going to obey Anderson's
order.
There was considerable doubt among
the operators as to what course they
should follow.
Judge Charles S. Miller, in the cir
cult court of Franklin county, Illinois,
last week issued an injunction pre-
venting the operators from abolishing
the check off system. As Anderson's
ruling is just the opposite, the oper-
ators fear they win be in contempt OF
one court or the other, no matter what
course they pursue, ..
Most OF the miners who walked out
were in Indiana and Ohio. Many mi.
ners in the southern Indiana fields
were out.
Mine operators were certain there
would be a strike and took all precau
tons to meet 1t.
