MenOfU.M.W. Of America Engage Lawyer To Take Appeal  To  The  Judges
CITE DISORDERS
Lewis Outfit In District One Would Be Required To Give Way To Election
NEW PRECEDENT
left leg yesterday William  Ballet
A legal action, novel in procedure and involving the ousting ot Dis¬ trict One officials. United Mine Workers of America, and the call¬ ing of a special election through the courts ot Luzerne county, will be launched within the next few days, according to Information obtained last night from a reliable source.
It was gleaned from the same source tliat a group of mine work¬ ers, affiliated with the United Mine Workers ot America, engaged the services of Attorney E. C. Marlan¬ elll, former counsel of District One, to present the petition. The pro¬ cedure establishes a precedent, there being no action of a similar char¬ acter ever recorded in the courts of any State.
The action, It Is understood, will be based upon {pwlessness In the local district, attacks on public offlcers, breach of the peace, dyna- mltings and destruction of prop¬ erty. It Is only on these grounds that the local court Is permitted to act.
If the action were to be based on internal disorder; that Is, trouble within the organization's ranks, the dispute would have to be settled by international officers of the union, the court having no legal right to enter the controversy, it was learn¬ ed from an Informative source last night.
The district offlclals to be in¬ volved are: President John J. Boy¬ lan, Vice President Michael Koslk, Secretary-Treasurer Enoch Wil¬ liams, George Evans, board member in First Inspection District; George Dorsey, Second District; August LIppi, Third District; John Kmetz, Fourth District.
Base Act On Disorder It will be the contention of com¬ plainants that turmoil will cease If the present staff Is ousted from of¬ fice and an eleotlon held subse¬ quent to the duster. The complain¬ ants further believe that disorder, existent between the new union and the Unite'd Mine Workers etaff, will be eliminated it new men take over control of the district.
To prove that lawlessness and at¬ tacks on public offlcers have taken place, it is understood Attorney Marlanelll, at the time of a hearing, will summon Captain William A. Clark, directing head ot Troop B. State Police, to testify to abuses and body Injuries suffered by sev¬ eral troopers at the hands ot the pickets.
Sheriff Luther Kniffen will also be summoned, it is said, to give testimony relative to attacks on public offlcers and breaches of the peace. The sheriff issued a procla¬ mation within the past fortnight relative to existing turmoil In this region.
No   Dual   Union   Move The    United    Anthracite   Miners, the  new  organizatton,  has  no con¬ nection    whatever,; with    the    pro¬ posed  ouster action.
The court will be asked to call a special election In the event tho ouster propo.sal Is carried through and that said election be supervised by the loca! court.
The contemplated procedure la unique, in ns much as no records are on file to Indicate a similar action being Instituted anywhere else. In the event the judges act favorably upon the legal papers and an ouster follows, the jiroceduro un¬ deniably will be used In other sec¬ tions ot tlie country where indus¬ trial strife exist* or m:iy c:;l;!t In, the future. ¦:

ANTHRACITE MEN SURE THAT PEACE OFFER WILL HOLD
Local Unions Rush Votes To Ratify Plan To Probe All Complaints With Guaranty Of Return Of Jobs On Recognition By Labor Board Of New Forces In Field
FATHER CURRAN SOUNDS CALL
Five hundred delegates, repre¬ senting local unions affiliated with United Anthracite Miners of Penn¬ sylvania, will meet this afternoon at two oclock tn St. Nicholas com¬ munity auditorium on South Wash¬ ington street, prepared to rescind the general strike call that for one week has tied up to a great degree all Wyoming Valley mining opera¬ tions.
Recalled by Thomas Maloney, president of the new union, the special convention will be Informed by offlcers ot the A. M. of P. that the N.atlonal Labor Board has guar¬ anteed the reinstatement ot all men discharged, allegedly because of their affiliation with the organiza¬ tion which seeks to supplant the United Mine Workers of America here. Delegates, it was reported last night, will be urged to rescind the strike order and permit general resumption of operations at closed collieries tomorrow morning.
Reaction to favorable develop¬ ments indicating that Luzerne county's general mine strike has only a few more hours to run, was I noticeable last night In both busl- I ness and union channels. A general loosening of tension,'caused by six days of almost complete shutdown ot collieries between Duryea and Mocanaqua. brought crowds of shoppers to central city and purse strings that had been tightened against a prolonged period of idle¬ ness were severed by housewives and othex-s whose financial condi¬ tion fluctuates with the rise and tall of working time here. Vote Work Return Numerous looal unions at meet¬ ings yesterday afternoon voted to return to work Monday morning, confident that this afternoon's .special convention will go on record to rescind the general strike call und discontinue picketing. The Dor¬ rance colliery local union, Lelilgli Valley Coal Comp.iny, adopted a return to work resolution. Local Unions 1545 and 452, United Mine Workers of America, made up ot employes of ^Vyoming Valley Col¬ lieries Company at Swoyerville, voted to return to work if the gov¬ ernment's peace offer to the new union is ratified.
Announcement that Wyoming Valley men will go back Monday was made by Marlin Torlilk, presi¬ dent, and Committeemen Jim Cal¬ lahan. Michael MIscavage and Peter Yakovltz ot Local Union 1545; Jo.seph Cicero, president, and Com¬ mitteemen Joseph Yantachka, Leo Sherinskl, and John Yakoblski ot Local  Union No. 452.
Should the special convention vot*" to rescind the general strike order. State Police will not go out on patrol duty X. )nday. For the past several weeks, more than 100 troop¬ ers and deputy sheriffs have gone out dally to sections where pickets have attempted to tie up operations and there have been frequent clash¬ es between the strikers and pollca. More than fifty State troopers have been   sent   into   tlii.s   viciiiily   from
result ot strlk*
other localities as violence.
Sheriffs Off The Job It was reported last night that following the Issuance of a procla¬ mation by Sheriff Luther Kniften last Wednesday banning mass pick¬ eting and marching from one col¬ liery to another, the sheriff, hl» chief deputy, Dallas Shobert. and Deputy "Pappy" Frank left Immedl- ately on a hunting trip, leaving en¬ forcement of the proclamation to subordinates. Tlie sheriff's procla¬ mation in which he warned against further violence wus issued the day atter thousands of mine workers in Luzerne county had cast their votes in the general strike. Violence had been rampant throughout the county for some time before the proclama¬ tion was issued and prior to elec¬ tion day, but the proclamation wa» not  issued   until   Wednesday.
Thomas Maloney, president of the new union, told The Sunday Inde- liendcnt last night that he had no oflicial utterances to make on the eve ot the recalled special conven¬ tion, but said that he is hopeful ot favorable action on the govern¬ ment's offer of protection for dis- cliarped men. He paid high tribute to the efforts ot Monsignor J. J. Curran, pastor ot St. Mary's church, who worked unceasingly night and day since the first special conven¬ tion was called, to alleviate the trouble.
Father Curran's Victory Monsignor Curran's plea to the delegates was greatly instrumental in delaying the general strike call and atter it was Issued he redoubled efforts to bring about a conciliation of differences. He aent numerous telegrams to United States Senator Robert F. Wagner, chairman of the National Labor Board, and had a number of long distance telephone conversations with federal offlciala in an effort to speed up settlement of  the controversy.
Friday the new union received a peace proposal trom Senator Wag¬ ner In which he .said that a fact¬ finding commission would be estab¬ lished to make the "fullest investi¬ gation ot complaints against condi¬ tions and practices" In the anthra¬ cite industry, providing the new union members permitted men wish¬ ing to work to do so without inter¬ ference.
This proposition was rejected by the new union's executive board. Monsignor Curran immediately com- muincated with Senator Wagner, urging him to offer the discharged men a promise of reinstatement. Late Friday afternoon a telegram was received guaranteeing this pro¬ tection.
Throughout the entire contro¬ versy, the assistance ot Monsignor Curran was invaluable to the new union and to the public in general as was the aid ot otlier citizens In¬ cluding Colonel Ernest G. Smith and M. E. Comerford. chairman of ths Pennsylvania Industrial Recovery Board. With Judge AViUiam S. Mc- (Coiitiiuied  on  Page  ti - .Sec.   1)
