SUPREME COURT
JAILS MINERICH
Deny Injunction Appeal
of Mine Leader
PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 17.—
Word has been received at the national office of the National Miners' Union here that the U. S. supreme court has rejected the appeal of Anthony Minerich, national executive board member of the N.M.U., and special organizer for the union.
Minerich was tried in the federal district court of Ohio before Judge Hughes for violation of an injunction granted the Clarkson Coal Co., against picketing during the coal strike.
Minerich spoke to the miners in August, 1927, and is charged with calling for mass picketing, pointing out the use of the court as a strike-breaking weapon, and demanding mass violation of injunctions.
He was sentenced to 45 days imprisonment and the case has been appealed since then. He will now have to serve the sentence.
