LOSES CHARTER
FOR REBELLION
u. NJ. w. A. President Says
District No. IL Fails to
Heed Orders.

John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America,
issued a formal statement here to-
day announcing revocation of the
charter of district No. II Of the or
ganization, with headquarters at
Springfield, III.
The action was taken, Lewis said,
when the executive board of district
No. II refused to execute a decision
Of the International executive board
in vacating the office of a district
executive board member, held by
George Stouffer, of st. David, III.
Another basis for the action, &C
cording to Lewis, was the attempt of
District No. IL officers to parcel out
the local unions in provisional sub
district No. 8, District No. II, when
1t was known that the international
union had assumed charge Of the
affairs of Sub-district No. 8 and had
set up a provisional form of sub
district organization. Lewis said the
action of district officers was in de-
fiance of the ruling Of the interna-
tional executive board.
Action of officers Of District No.
IL In filing damage suits against the
international union, totalling a half
million dollars, also was given as
basis for the revocation Of the
charter.
