United Press.) Bo See INDIANAPOLIS, May 26.—| VOLUME IV Declaring sections 4 and 26 of| — sot ee ALSSEMENOOMI Judge A. B. Anderson today sustained a motion of Attorney Charles Evans Hughes to quash 13 of the 18 counts in the indictment charging 125 coal miners and operators ‘with violating this law in connection with last year's nation-wide coal strike. The court upheld the constiutionality of section 9 and overruled a motion to quash five counts returned under this section, which forbids the calling of strikes among mine workers and closing down mines. Section 4, which was held unconstitu tional. prohibits the charging of unjust pr excessive rates and prices, Section 26 prohibits a combination from limiting supplies in the necessities of life. Judge Anderson originally granted an injunction declaring the strike illegal under the Lever act. Attorney-General Palmer requested the injunction. The miners contended that the act was un- constitutional, ‘not applying to strikes, but Andersen everruiel them then. After -he stcike ended the federal grand jury indicted operators and min- ers on charges.of collusion and con- bpiracy to restrict the nation’s coal sup ply and secure higher coal prices. The decision today dismissed certain charges against the miners and operators under this indictment. Anderson heard the Hughes’ ments three weeks ago.
