Union Officials Free to Carry Out Threats
Indianapolis May 19 Judge Baltzell dismissed an injunction suit to stop union officials from interfering with miners in cooperative mining. The ruling leaves unions free to threaten revoking local charters if members work mines under group leasing or joint stock ownership. Lack of jurisdiction was cited, aligning with United Mine Workers counsel. William H. Howe of Chicago and John L. Lewis of Springfield were residents of Illinois, taking the case out of federal jurisdiction.
