L
Injunction Against Collection
of Dues Issued.
CONSPIRACY HELD SHOWN
Editor of Workers' Publication As
serts Long Hours and Bad Con
ditions Will -Ensue.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 31. Col
lection of funds of the United Mine
Workers of America through the
check-off system by which union mem
bership dues are deducted from min
ers' wages by operators was enjoined
today by Federal Judge A. B. Ander
son. His order enjoined all union of
ficials and members from seeking to
unionize the Williamson coal field in
"West Virginia, where violence has
marked the year's strike. The order
Is temporary, but Is effective until
changed by the court.
Vain effort was made by counsel
for the union to forestall the decree
placing a ban on the check-off and it
was said unofficially to be a stagger
ing blow to the union. Counsel for
operators In the hearing preceding the
order had said that a strike might
follow a ban on the check-off. After
Issuance of the order, reports from
Knox county, a big Indiana producing
center, said 3000 miners planned mass
meetings to determine their stand.
The order itself Indicated the possi
bility of many contracts between op
erators and miners being broken by
the ban on the check-off.
Conspiracy Declared shows.
The only comment from the miners
was a statement by Kills Searles, edi
tor of the official publication of the
union, who asserted the injunction
was "certainly Joyful news for the
United States Steel corporation,"
which, he added, was reputed to be
the largest coal land owner In the
strike sone.
In giving his opinion, Judge An
derson made It plain that he believed
a conspiracy in violation of the Sher
man anti-trust Law had been shown
at the hearing for the temporary in
junction in the suit of the Border
land Coal corporation, acting on be
lialf of three score other West Vir
ginia operators. This conspiracy, he
said, existed between union miners
snd operators In the centrnl competi
tive field, comprising Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania
and that the "closed shop" operators
of other states were also Involved
because of the check-off. II 2 added
that the trouble in West Vlrgin'awas
due to an attempt to bring; the oniy
competitive fiexl Into the combi.na
t on.
Cheek-Off Is Stopped.
"Here is an organization which has
enormous funds." it says, "all of
which are collected by the operators
through the check-off. The poor old
consumer is milked constantly bt
these operators and miners. I am
going to stop this check-off. The
operators know now that they are
furnishing the sinews of war for that
struggle In West Virginia."
The court order, as finally agreed
on, prohibited the check-off and ef
forts toward unionizing the Willi im
son field. It did not deny the rlsht
of workers to organize, or hold that
the union was an unlawful organiza
tion. ;t also did not hold the check
off was In Itsof unlawful, but was
aimed at the usi of money obtained
through it.
The order applies to every operator
having agreements for the check-off
and affects every union miner. After
reciting that Judge Anderson be
lieved he was compelled to issue It on
account of the refusal of President
John L,. Lewis to cease efforts toward
unionizing the Williamson field, the
order named several Indiana opera
tors as "representatives of the class
of persons" In part, enjoined by the
court
Collection Is Prevented.
Ths order provided that "all per
sons who now are or hereafter may
be members." of the union were en
Joined "from advising, assisting, en
couraging, aiding, abetting or In any
way or manner 'and by any and all
means whatsoever and especially by
the use of any funds or moneys how
soever collected by the international
union. United Mine Workers. Its offi
cers, members, agents 'or representa
tives, tho unionization or the at
tempted unionization of the non
union nilnes In Mlngrconnty, West
Virginia, and I'ike county, Kentucky."
This provision of the order, how
ever, was limited to permit union
funds being used to feed strikers as
follows:
"But this Injunction and restrain
ing order is not to be Interpreted or
understood to prevent payment by
"William lireen, secretary-treasurer of
the United Mine Works, of sufficient
funds to the members of the union
mine workers, living In tents or out
of employment in Mingo county. West
Virginia and Pike county, Kentucky,
for their actual necessities until fur
ther order of the court, this excep
tion, however, not to include any per
son or persons not bona fide miners
nd not now members of the United
&line Workers and their dependents."
The order also directed that the de
fendant union men and operators file
an answer to the suit in which the
ordvr was Issued within the next 30
days. No time was set for a final
hearing.
At the opening of court Judge An
derson read a statement of his rea
sons for granting the temporary
trder.
Vftloa Editor Deplores Deelaloa.
The statement of Ellis Searles, edi
tor of the union's publication, com
menting on the order, follows:
"It certainly is Joyful news for the
tTnlted States Steel corporation that
the United Mine Workers are en
joined from all attempts to unionize
the non-union coal mining fields of
Mingo county. West Virginia. The
United States Steel corporation is re
puted to be the largest coal producer
In that non-union field. It is said to
own ss.398 acres of coal land In Mingo
and McDowell counties.
"Kverybody knows that the United
States Steel corporation is determined
to break up labor unlono, so that the
working people will be compelled to
work 10, 11 or more hours a day at
whatever wage the employer sees fit
to pay. It would drag conditions in
the coal industry down to the level of
conditions In the steel Industry If It
could.
Worse Caadltisns Ptrtsred.
"AH of this Is interesting In view of
the circumstances surrounding the In
junction suit of the Borderland Coal
corporation against the United Mine
Workers in which a temporary order
was issued today by Judge Anderson.
The fact that the Borderland Coal cor
poration is a comparatively small con
cern and that the United States Steel
corporation Is so vitally interested in
the same field makes It easy to look
behind the smoke screen and see who
It Is that is actually making this fight
against the miners' union. The United
lighted if it could feel that the miners'
union was hopelessly crippled by that
part of the temporary injunction
which prohibits further collection of
dues of union members by coal opera
tors through ths check-off system.
"The lot of the union miner in that
section of West Virginia has been one
of terror and abuse for many years,
and it will undoubtedly be worse than
ever from now on. Hundreds of
armed thugs and gunmen in the em
ploy of the coal companies run loose
and wild over the hills and mountains
of that stats and they assault, beat
and murder union miners at will.
No effort ta made by the law officers
of West Virginia to stop them in
their bloody work. Now that the
United Mine Workers are enjoined
from proceeding further with their
worlr of organizing that field these
armed thugs will no doubt take It
for granted that from now on it is
an open season -for union miners as
legitimate game. Just why they wsre
hers no one seems to know, but seversl
of these West Virginia so-called pri
vate detectives were in Judge Ander
son's court during the hearing."

In addition to the buglers to bs
stationed at ths downtown intersec
tions to play taps at noon. Armistice
day, Friday, November 11. buglers are
to be 'placed on the tops of the offioe
buildings and use megaphones to
amplify the sound of the bugles. It is
probable that half a dozen men with
eight-foot megaphones will be Sta
llones) on the highest buildings so
that the sound of the bugles may be
heard In various parts of the city.
They will blow taps simultaneously
with the Boy and Sea Scouts stationed
at the intersections.
The committee handling the Armi
stice day celebration for Portland yes
terday requested that all factory,
steamboat, train and other whistles
be blown and church bells bs rung at
11 o'clock the morning of Armistice
day in commemoration of ths ending
of the war.
At noon all traffic will be stopped
for two minutes and everyone will be
requested to remove headgear and
bow his head in silent prayer for th
period. In this two-minute period the
buglers will blow taps. It will be
during these two minutes, eastern
time, that the body of the unknown
soldier will be buried in Washington.
The war department originally fixed
the time for paying tribute at from
12 to 12:02 P. M., but Inasmuch as that
would bring the hour here at about
9 o'clock, the committee in charge
of arrangements here concluded to fix
the hour at 12 noon when there would
be a larger number on the streets and
a more effective observance.

folice paid no attention to the little
fellows who got their kick out of
Halloween from being out in the dark
at a time when ordinarily they would
be snugly under the covers. All offi
cers worked In uniform, with the re
sult that at 10 o'clock none of the
worst offenders had been captured,
and so many calls were ahead of
them that it will be day after tomor
row before the last one has been an
swered. The gentler side of the holiday was
attested by numbers of masquerad
ers. on their way to Halloween par
ties.. Even one reporter went to a
party. He was worrying, when he
called at police headquarters, for fear
he would be expected to dive for
applies and get his ears wet.
Hobgoblin lay in wait at dark
corners (but quite close to street
lights). They were tiny goblins,
some of them not more than a couple
of feet tall. As the luckless pedes
trian approached they Jumped out and
shouted:
"Gobble, gobble, gobble, I'm a gob
lin." If the victim were not suitably
frightened, the goblin persisted.
"Gobble, gobble. In a goblin. Can't
you see I'm scarln" you?"
And then, if the pedestrian had kids
of his own, he would get into the
spirit of the occasion and run. fol

they shouted:
"Gee. ain't he scared!"
But when their wanderings took
them away from a street light, where
ever'thlng was spooky and shadows
were lurking all about, they remem
bered the lines:
"An" th" gobbllns'U git you, If Jrou
don't watch out!"
And they scuttled for the friendly

Candidates for Attorney-General
and Agricultural Commis
sioner Leading Ticket.
FARGO, N. D.. Oct. 31. (By the As
sociated Press.) Indications tonight
were that the majority of B A. Nestos,
independent gubernatorial candidate
in Friday's recall election, set at
around 4000. would be exceeded by
those attained by the independent
candidates for attorney-general and
agricultural commissioner.
This apparently was shown in re
turns compiled by independent news
papers and which tonight had ac
counted for considerably mors than
half the total vote cast on these of
flees, as represented in bait of the
precincts of the state. Sveinbjorn
Johnson, Independent candidate for
attorney-general, had 70.582 votes to
the 66.156 credited to Attorney-Gen
eral Lemke, non-partisan, when 1108
of the state's 2102 precincts bad re
ported.
In the contest for commissioner of
agriculture and labor, J. A. Kltchin,
Independent, bad 67,692 to 63,386 votes
for J. N. Hagan, non-partisan, when
1073 precincts had reported.
" The unofficial count of the guber
natorial vote included all but 84 pre
cincts, and Nestos had a lead of 6058
over Lynn J. Frailer, governor, non
partisan. The count stands Nestos
109.469, Frailer 103,411.

WASHINGTON WORK GOES ON
Leaguers Are Not to Give Up Be
cause of Recent Defeat.
SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 31 (Spe
cial.) The national non - partisan
league of Washington will continue
Its activities in this state more vig
orously than ever despite the defeat
of the league in North Dakota, strong
hold of non-partisanlsm, according to
information given out today by y. J.
.Mansfield, .director of the state or
ganization and acting manager at the
headquarters In Spokane.
"I should say we are going to con
tinue league organization work in
Washington." declared Mr. Mans
field. "The defeat In North Dakota
might make It a little hard-er for us
here, but we are going to continue
the work. Mr. Mansfield charged
that foul means were indulged In
during the election campaign In
North Dakota to defeat the non
partisan league.
Many farmers of North Dakota re
ceived more money from the inde
pendents of that state for voting
against Governor Frazier and the
league candidates then they have
made from wheat crops in ths last
five years," declared Mr. Mansfield.
COMMONS BACKS PREMIER
(Continued From First Page.)
necessary powers had not been con
ferred on the government of northern
Ireland, the premier explained that
the government of Ireland act pro
vided that these powers should be
conferred on the two parliaments
simultaneously. If the southern
parliament did not come into exist
ence, he declared, something in the
nature or a crown colony would be
set up, then powers would be con
ferred simultaneously on that and
the Ulster government.
Parliament Mast Approve.
"No compact can come into effect
without the authority of parliament,"
said Lloyd George. "Every detail
will be submitted to parliament. The
agreement, if there be an agreement,
will have to be in the form of an
act of parliament. - It is suggested
that the government ought to come
to the bouse and say: We want your
sanction for this or that proposal."
(Cries of "Why notT")
"No negotiations could possibly
bs conducted like that There must
be some latitude. There are certain
basic principles, but these have been
declared to the house repeatedly.
(Lries or "What are tneyT")
"We have declared to parliament
repeatedly that the government Is
prepared to meet any representative
of the Irish peofile who could deliver
the goods. I am prepared to meet
anyone who can make a good bargain
on behalf of the population of Ireland."
Dlaensaloa Is Declined.
The time to challenge the confer
ence, he said, was. when his letter
was written in July in response to
the king's gracious speech at Bel
fast; If the same motion had been
put down with a demand from 40 or
50 members for discussion, he would
have wasted no time in giving thera
an opportunity.
"Without caring one iota myself,
the house of commons must either
trust its negotiators or replace
them," he went on. "I want to know
my colleagues. I want to know
whether you want us to try to make
peace. If you do not, there will be
one glad man who will go to his sov
ereign snd say, T hand in my port
folio.' .
"If ws discuss the matter in this
house there will be no conference."
The gravamen of the complaint he
continued, was that a conference
should not be held with persons re
pudiating the authority of the crown
and associated vith things all abhor.
If there was to be a conference, it
must be with those who for the time
being spoke in the name of the major
ity of the Irish people.
Intimidation Is Charged.
It was charged that these persons
had secured representation by Intimi
dation, but if men were not treated
as representatives because of the
methods whereby they were elected
there would be an end to the British
constitution.
"For the moment the government
knows that the sympathies of Ireland
are behind these people," he said. "The
only things the government can do is
to treat them as the representatives
of the people. I admit that all the
Sinn Fein declared for a republic
that all the Sinn Fein repudiated the
authority of the crown, but if we are
not going to deal with them for that
reason, there is no one in Ireland to
deal with."
Recalling that Great Britain bad
dealt with "rebels" before. Instance ng
South Africa, the premier asserted:
"The only Issue is whether the
house will ey, 'Drop these negotia
tions; crush ths rebellion first, then
deal with Ireland as seems Just in
the eyes of parliament.'
Alternative Is Discussed. f
"It Is a Question of the cost If
the conference is broken, and it may
be, I want the house to feel that it
has done everything that could be
reasonably expected to avert it. The
first thing the government would
have to do would be to strengthen
the forces of the crown in Ireland
on a considerable scale."
The premier sa4d one of the evils
of guerilla warfare was that the
forces were dispersed and there was
not the same control of discipline.
Unless it was necessary for the honor
and security of the country it was
not the time to impose great addi
tional burdens on ths taxpayers and
Invite the young men once more to
risk the'.r livee.
"Negotiations ars proceeding," he
continued. "I would be happy if I
could be in a-position to announce
that ths great parent races which
founded this empire had decided to
put an end to this feud of centuries
and substitute comradeship. But I
cannot conceal the possibility that I
may have to make the grim an
nouncement that it ia impossible to
settle without danger or dishonor.
"If that terrible hour comes and
some one standing at this table has
to invite this house and the country
to make greater sacrifices, then Brit
ain's conscience must be free and
we must feel everything has . been
done.
More Sacrifices Possible.
"If this empire is to be mutilated
and Ireland established as an alien
country on our most vulnerable
flanks, free to make any arrange
ments with the enemies of this coun
try, free to make war on our com
merce; if Ireland walks off with her
freedom, leaving Britain staggering
alone under the burdens thrown on
her for benefits which every Irish
man in the world is sharing today,
whether In this country, the do
minions or America.
"If arrangements are insisted upon
which will mean civil war between
Catholic and Protestant, then Britain,
I feel confident, will make the neces
sary sacrifices to face the necessary
risk and avert such evils.
"Great issues are dependent on this
cenference; the fate of the empire or
rather, the strength of the empire, is
Involved. If concessions are pressed
that would weaken the empire.- the
government will take all hazards to
protect it If concessions can be
made which will bring an honorable
peace, which will strengthen the em
pire, we wlH hazard all on the possi
bility of achieving that object"
Mr. Asqutth, in supporting the gov
ernment, said:
"We are not giving a blank check
or a vote of confidence. We think
that the government is pursuing a
statesmanlike course, and we are con
tent to support them by every means
in our power in the action they are
taking. If the negotiations break
down, we should be confronted with
a situation of unexampled difficulty
and danger.
'Do not let us in advance commit
ourselves to this or that method of
facing and dealing with such a situa
tion.
'The motion was proposed by Colo
nel John Gretton, unionist Those
who most strongly advocated the pol
icy of the motion laid much stress on
their protests against negotiating
with men who had denied allegiance
to the crown.
