Andegson of the United States district-¢ourt has summoned the Fed- era] grand jury to appear here at 10 ‘a. m. next. Monday to take up the in- vestigation of alleged violations -of the Lever act and the criminal pro- visions of the anti-trust acts by the coal operators. This information was given out'in a statement by L. Ert Slack, United States district attorney, and Dan W. Simmy, speclal assistant attormey general in charge of the nmcaodiuu in‘the coal strike. ' I Oberators Also Cited. . The. determination tosummeon the result of disclosures:in the proceed- '{ge againdt the officials of the Unit. ed Mine Workers of America, which, the statement sald, tended to show that the coal operators, as well as the mine union officials, were engaged in a consplracy to violate the Lever act. It was said the investigations of the grand jury will cover alleged vio- lations of the Lever aot on the part of the defendants in the injunction suit brought against the mine union officials as well as on the part of the coal operators. To Determine Control. What the investigation is to dis- close finally, the statement says, is whether ‘the government of this country .rules, or whether lawless people shall have their way, whether this is a government of law or of a group of men.” ELKS TO REMEMBER ABSENT BROTHERS Sunday afternoon, at 3 o’clock, the Bemidji lodge of Elks will hold its annual memorial service for ‘absent brothers,” in the Elko theatre, and the orator of the occasion will be George A.
