The other men named in the in- formation, which was prepared by United States District Attorney le Ert Slack and Dan Simms, Special Assistant Attorney General, are with- out the jurisdiction of the local ed- eral Court and proceedings will be started at onge to bring them into court. The general charges against miners’ heads allege issuance of the injunction against encouragement of the strike or a tion to limit the production of every official han violated the injunc- tion by* passively consenting that the strike be continued and by main- taining an attitude toward the mem- bership and by statements to “repre- sentatives of The Associated Preas and newspapers that said member- sbip will not go back to work but will remain on strike.” The attitude of Government throughout its recith) of evidence Qgainst the miners is that by merely refraining from returning to work after the strike order had been re- scinded by the union leaders and the injunction had been issued, the mei are guilty of violating the court’ mandate. An important charge and one on which the Government ts relying to Prove its case, in that the officials, when issuing their notice that the strike order had been rescinded, mimeographed the notice on blank paver. and omitted from the coples an imprint of the official seal of the union. It is added that upon receipt of the notice the unions throughout the country took the poaition, and “so stated in the daily press and by word of mouth that the withdrawal and cancellation notice was defec- Uve, invalid and without authority,” because it did not bear this seal a ause the signatures of officials were printed and not signed by hand, Prosident Lewis is specifically cited in one charge with refusing to notify the members that the withdrawal order was issued and communicated in good faith and that ite purpose really was to cancel the strike. ‘The charge adds that Mr. Lewis still re fuses to send out such assurance.

Catholic Deputy Mauri in reply ad- mitted the situation was serious and deplored reported violences. « He ended by declaring: “The country needs peace and work.” All of the Catholics applauded, but the Socialists denounced Mauri, cry ing. “long live the Pope-King,” al- luding ironically to the loyalty of the Catholics to the Pope. Up to a few years ago in what the anti-clericals charge were his aspirations to re- store the temporal power of the church, making himself at the same time Pope and King. ‘The Catholics redoubled thetr ap- plause which took the form of a counter-demonstration against So- cialists’ attacks and in support of Signor Mauri's speech, while the So- cialists shouted: “Jesuits, Jesuits. Confusion was so great that the\ses. sion was virtually suspended. Premier Nitti agreed with Socialist Deputy Treves that the houf was grave for Italy and declared it was for that reason he sought the union of all Italian forces, promising on his part to protect both the Majority and Minority deputies and the lives of private citizens and asking the So- cialists to judge him by his work. Former Premier Orlando then as- sumed the Presidency of the Cham- ber, to which posttion he was recently elected. He attempted to conciliate the opposing parties and maid he trusted he woukl be assisted by all the Socialists. ‘The latter interrupted shouting: “Not by us.” This retort aroused the resentment of the remaining menvbers of the Chamber, and in reply to their ex- pressions of disapproval, Socialist Deputy Barberis, who by profession is a carter, shouted: “If you don't like us get ouf. We will go on alone.” Despite the order issued on Wednes- day by the Socialist Party and the General Federation of Labor calling off the general strike throughout Italy, effective this morning, advices from Milan, Turin and Bologna indi- cated that the edict had been ignored in these cities and that severe rioting had taken place in Milan, in which four persons had been killed and many burt in clashes between cari- Dineers and strikers, ‘The order for the cessation of the strike declares among other things: “We never more will tolerate, even in the slightest degree, 4 violation of the right of representation, or the liberty of thought, and are ready to take measures which will be sufficiently efficacious to check everywhere every feactionary desire of the professional militarists.” RUNAWAY HORSE LEAPS OFF 150-FT, LEDGE; WILL LIVE | Bakery Animal Hurdles Wall, Scat: | ters Bread and Then Dives Over Palisades.
