The Montana State Industrial Accident Board appealed to the state Supreme Court Monday seeking an injunction in a dispute with Jeffries Coal Co of Roundup. The board had ordered a wash house at the mine near Roundup on Jan 11 1951, but Jeffries argued a wash house already existed and wells near the mine were dry. Jeffries claimed water would have to be hauled seven miles making a washhouse impractical. The Lewis and Clark court had nulled the earlier permanent injunction.
