Miners Officials Arrested
As Injunction Violators

By International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind, May 5.--Repofts
received at the headquarters Of the

Mine Workers. show that the stfike
of non-union miners in what Is known
as the Panhandle field of West Viz

This field takes in four counties
along the Ohio River and is under the
Jurisdiction of District 6 (Ohio), the
officers of which district called the
strike under the direction of Presi-
dent Lee Hall and officers of the sub
districts. Two mines in the Pan
handle are not included in the strike
because of an injunction forbidding
the Union to interfere" with these
workers.
Writ Violation Charged
Joseph Angelo, national organizer
of the union, In charge of strike head
quarters at Wheeling, has been ar
rested on a federal writ Of attach
ment, charging violation of an IN
junction issued in 1909, which re
strained the union and its officers
from attempting 10 ofSdiiLe SbiP'Ds

Other union officials named IN the
writ included President Lewis of the

president of the Wellsburg local union.
and two other workers.
