Central Coal Miners Strike In Protest
Of Judges Orders, Preventing
Operation Of "Cheek Off
System. May Spread.

Chicago-Twenty-five thousand coal
miners were out on 'outlaw strike" in
the central coal fields Wednesday in
protest against the order by Judge A.
b. Anderson preventing operation of
the CHECK Off" Indications were the
strike would continue to spread.
Frank Harrington, head of the ILL.,
nols branch of the United Miners of
America, was in Chicago Tuesday con-
ferring with mine operators. Earring
ton was here to find out il 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 will 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 strike and took all precau-
tons to meet it.
Indianapolis, Ind.-Officers of the
coal miners union Tuesday prepared
for probable strike of its $4,000
members.
If the mine operators obey the in
junction issued by Judge A. 3. Ander.
son. preventing operation of the check
off system, union leaders instructed
their men to regard it as a violation
of the contract.
cause the men to walk out wherever
the operators refuse to continue the
check off 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 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 vio-
lated the injunction. United States
District Attorney Frederick vanuys
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 a provision in
the Indiana wage contract and posi-
bly, others which says both the miners
and their employers must consider the
contract subordinate to federal In
junction whenever the two conflict.
President Lewis order affects only
a portion of the union membership.
The check off is not used in the an
-hracte fields, and the Canadian union
districts are not affected by the in.
junction granted in this country.

These conditions have no: been fulfilled
and you did not go on.
'Of course. ] hear people tell me
that you fulfilled to the utmost oil
your obligations to preserve peace and
right or wrong, but that is not the
question. We fought the war together,
but we are not accepting peace to-
gcther. don't want to rcproach you,
but | tell those people that you ought
not to have left without establishing
some permanency.
Americas Work Not Done
America came with the fourteen
poiats. She took an active part in
the Treaty of Peace. Thus far that
peace is not yet settled. If you had
objected and would have told us what
you objected to, | can state that we
would have seen the right on your
part. would have seen what you OBJ
jected to. and would have struck out
what you objected to.
Il am saying this to you and
want 10 get rid of that unpleasant
part of my speech to yOu--that YOU
have forgotten us in another case which
was very unpleasant. Our debts have
gone to figure which surpasscs i'm
agination. We have no money. We
had 10 spend 1t and we lavished it ant
wasted it in the war.
Why Debts Are Unpaid
Il am sorry to say that you followed
our example later on. There was this
thing to complain of. What did We
think after we had borrowed sums OF
money. from you to buy in America
munitions and equipment for our sol
dicrs! What are we to think when we
hear that we are not paying our debts
ana don't mean to pay them? That
was little too much. OF course. We
aim to pay our debts. | don't think
it was necessary for any one to sa,

we have been promised that ou
reparations would be paid. They wer,
not and the money we were promised
was not paid. How could we, not re-
ceiving the money that had been guar,
anteed-how could we pay when W,
had not received the money that hat
been guaranteed by England and Amer
