COURT RESTORES
CHECK-OFF SYSTEM

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-Union labor
leaders in the coal mines won a vic
tory today when the Federal Court Of
Appeals reversed the recent decision
by Judge Anderson Of Indiana, and re-
stored the check-off system in tho
mines. Because of the abolition of this
system, Bnine strikes were ordered
everywhere.
This system, which the unions admit
Is vital to their existence, REQUIRES the
coal companies to withhold from the
pay OF each man the union dues, fines
and assessments. This relieves the
union officers of this task and COM
pels the employing companies to hold
