Ihe telegram, signed by Presl-
dent John L. Lewis, Vice President
Philip Murray and Secretary Will
lam Green. said:
ANY abrogation or setting
aside Of any part or section of
this agreement, including the
section providing for the
checking off of dues and as
sessments cannot be regarded
as other than a violation of the
agreement and should sbe
treated accordingly by the dis
trict officers and local unions"
1t was said authoritatively that
the international officers regarded
the strike as the unions only
weapon to enforce contract. The
telegram was sent to officials in
sixteen states, where the check off
provision obtains and where $780,
600 of the $4,000 union miners
are employed.
The telegram said:
las a result of the disagreement
between the United Mine Workers
of America and the coal operators
in the fall of 1919 it was suggested
by the government of the United
states that the miners and the
operators submit all their differ
ences to a commission appointed
by the president, said commission
to have full authority to render an
award. 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 to he in effect until March
81, 1922. Following rendition of
this award by the United states BIZ
luminous coal commission, func-
tioning under governmental au-
thority. the president, in a letter
addressed to the coal operators and
the United Mine Workers, COM
manded both sides to meet in joint
conference and duly execute such
agreement as di.ected by the BIZ
luminous coal commission. This
was done and the agreement was
duly signed in New York, March
81, 1920. 1t is, therefore, obvious
that said joint agreement cannot
be modified or changed in any of
its provisions until its expiration
March 81, 1922. Any .abrogation
or setting aside of any part or sec
tion of this agreement, including
the section providing for the check
ing off of union dues and assess
ments, can not be regarded as
other than a violation of the agree
ment and should be treated ac-
cordingly by the district officers
and local unions within your juris-
liction."

was sent were Pennsylvania, Ohio,

Dispatch of the message fol-
lowed conferences between union
chiefs and counsel However,
there was no indication that any
action would be taken at union
headquarters to precipitate n
strike until after Judge Anderson
had declared his order was not
yet effective. He amended the
order to provide that it was not
in force until after the Border
land Coal corporation, complain
ant in the injunction suit, had
filed bond indemnifying defen-
PENDANTS for damages that might
result from any acts under the
injunction in case of reversal
of his decision. Counsel agreed
that $1,000 bond was sufficient.
Previously counsel for both op-
orators and the union had agreed
to hasten an appeal with the hope
of averting any considerable walk
out and it was learned that oper-
ators had assurance that the in
ternational officers would seek to
prevent a closing of the mines.
Five Mines Idle.
While preparations for the ap-
peal We're being made, reports
from the Indiana coal fields were
that five mines were idle in pro-
test against the injunction and
union officials at Terre Hautc
were considering formal issuance
of strike order. More than 1900
men were employed at the Indiana
mines that closed, and employees
elsewhere in the coal field were
planning meetings.
Counsel for the union and oper-
ators will appear tomorrow before
Judge Anderson for formal action,
appealing his decision. No COM
ment on whether a strike would
be regarded as contempt of the
order was obtainable from off
cials but counsel in the case
pointed out that the order was
aimed only at preventing the OPP
orators from paying the check off
and stopping union efforts to or
ganize the Williamson coal field
in West Virginia.
