O n W rit o f C ertio ra ri to the S u p rem e C ourt o f th e S tate o f Illinois PETITIONERS’ RESPONSE TO THE RESPECTIVE MOTIONS TO FILE BRIEFS AS AMICUS CURIAE AND OBJECTIONS TO MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN ORAL ARGUMENT I. PETITIONERS’ RESPONSE TO THE RESPECTIVE MOTIONS TO FILE BRIEFS AS AMICUS CURIAE Motions to file an amicus curiae brief have been filed by (1) American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, (2) NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. and the National Office for the Rights of the Indigent, and (3) The State Bar of Cali fornia. In response to such Motions, Petitioners United Mine Workers of America, District 12, state that Petitioners are generally disposed not to object to the filing of such briefs, being of the view that the Court may desire to have such assistance as is offered therein. Hence, it had already indicated consent to the Movants, other than The State Bar of California. Refusal to give consent to it was prompted by Respondents’ refusal to grant their consent to Movants American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and the Na tional Office for the Rights of the Indigent. Allowance by the Court to the first two named Movants to file their respective briefs would remove any objection Petitioners have to The State Bar of California’s motion. n . PETITIONERS’ OBJECTIONS TO MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN ORAL ARGUMENT. Both NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and the National Office for the Rights of the Indigent, and The State Bar of California have moved for leave to participate in oral argument. Petitioners object thereto for the reasons that argu ment of the instant case is upon the Court’s summary calendar and this Court’s Rule 44, paragraph 3, limits the time for argument to thirty (30) minutes a side. Since paragraph 7 of Rule 44 limits the total argument time to thirty minutes even though an amicus curiae is per mitted to participate therein, any reduction of the thirty- minutes argument period would not permit a fair pres entation of Petitioners’ contentions. Petitioners request, therefore, that the Court deny the respective motions to participate in oral argument herein. Respectfully submitted, Edmund Burke 217 South Seventh Street Springfield, Illinois Edward L. Carey Harrison Combs Willard P. Owens 900 Fifteenth Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. M. E.
