my . yt ad . . CO MEMORANDUM -2- JOHN L. LEWIS, et al 4 check of the records of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Appeals, Supreme Court Building, Springfield, Dllincis, revealed that as a result of the proceedings in Circuit Court of Sangaeon County in connection with instant case, two appeals were taken, The first appeal by JOHN L. LEWIS contends that the temporary injunction imposed by the Cirenit Court should be dismissed. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the Lower Court's decision and did act dismiss the temporary injunction. The second case involves the contention of LEWIS that the permanent injunction should not have been issued and was erroneously issued by the lower Court in view of the fact that the complainant had not mainteined the status quo in that that body had called an international convention and elected new international officers when previously LEWIS had secured a majority of signatures of members in favor of indefinitely postponing the international convention. The printed record in the first case in the Appellate Court consisted of an abstracts statement brief in argument; and reply brief of the appellant, JOHN L. LEWIS. Also an additional abstract and brief of the appellee, HARRY FISHWICK. The printed record of the second case in Appellate Court consists of an abstract of record and statement brief in argument for the appellant, JOHN L. LEWIS; alsoreply brief ef appelless and additional abstract for the appellees. All these printed documents are voluminous. The result of both appeals was, lower court was upheld in both instances retaining in effect the temporary injunction and approving the permanent injunction. The two opinions of the Circuit Court of Appeal contain a brief concise sumuary of the facts and the law and are reported in the following citations: "258, Illinois Appellate Court Reports, 402 260), Dlinois Appellate Court Reporte, 230" In view of the wolusinous nature of the case record and pleadings in this case,copies of the proceedings are at this time not being secured. It appears that they would have little value except as background information in connection with instant case, in view of the fact that the case involves a dispute within the U.¥.W. of A. union and is not between members of the U.M.W. and the Progressive Mine Workers. Therefore no further action is oontemplated in connection with this matter at this time unlese the Bureau instructs to the contrary. Submitted by - ais
