senting a ball team.
Each week the teams held weekly
luncheons. at which some fine talks
were given, on public utilities. coal,
lumber, real estate, etc. The members
were privileged to bring with them
business men who had not joined, and
so contact was made Ia such way
as to impress non members with the

of America through the "check Off
system, by which union membership
dues are deducted from miners wages
by operators throughout the country
was enjoined today by Federal Judge
A. b. Anderson. Further, his order en-
Joined all union officials and members
from seeking by any and all means to
unionize the Williamson coal field in
West Virginia. where violence has
marked the strike that began more
than year ago. The order is a tempor-
airy one, but effective until changed by
the court.
Vain effort was made in court by
counsel for the union to forestan the
decree and though officers withheld
comment on the court order. it was
said officially to be a staggering blow
at the union. Counsel for operators in
the hearing preceding the order had
said that strike might follow the
levying of ban on the check-off.
After issuance of the order, reports
from Knox county, one big Indiana
producing center, said that 5000 miners
planned mass. meetings to determine
their stand The order itself indicated
the possibility of many contracts be-
tween operators and miners being
broken by the ban on the check-off.
The only comment on the order from
the miners side was a statement by
Ellis Searles. editor of the official pub
lication of the union, who asserted that
the injunction was certainly joyful
news to the United States Steel Cor
poration, which, he added. was reputed
to he the largest coal land owner in the
strike zone.
