wILKES-BARRE. Pa. March 10
Twenty-nine officers Of the United
Anthracite Miners of Pennsylvania
we're Jailed today for contempt OF
court. They refused to rescind
strike call at the Glen Alden Coal
Co.'S operations as decreed by Judge
W. A. Valentine.
The strike was called last February
2. The company obtained the in
junction which prohibited interfer-
ence with miners wanting to work
and ordered that the strike call be
abrogated forthwith"
Glen Alden officials instituted the
contempt action when the union failed
to rescind the strike vote. Judge
Valentine cited the officers for di-
rect contempt and cited Is others
for acts of alleged interference. The
latter group were granted jury trials
and bail was fixed for their ap-
pearance.
Coal company officials contend the
new union ordered the walkout in a
demand for recognition. Union offi-
GERS answered that the present walk
out is not for that purpose, but is
protest against alleged assaults upon
their members at Glen Alden col
liery where workers affiliated with
the old union, the United Mine Work
ers of America, had called strike.

Second Treaty Violation.

Germany's reported action in estab-

ing her possession of an air force, also
forbidden her by the treaty.

helm Goering. minister of air, an
nounced that the German sport air
associations henceforth would be under
the direct orders of the ReichSWehr
Irregular army. He himself, he added,

certain Of the military clauses of the
Versailles treaty, but contemplated
leaving intact the provision that the
left bank of the Rhine be demili-
tarized.
Maximum Is 100000.
The Versailles treaty's military
clauses. designed primarily to destroy
Germany'S capacity for offensive war
fare, set the future maximum of the
German standing army at 10O,0 900 men
and limited ammunition, guns and war
supplies in strict proportion to that
figure.
Under the treaty, signed at the little
French town of Versailles June 29,
1919, and brought into force through
exchange of ratifications January 10.
1920, Germany consented to abolish
conscription for army service and to
adopt long period voluntary enlistment
