rus COAST ARTILLERY * CUTHELD MENACE Decrease in Enlisted Force Leaves Many Harbors De- fenseless, Gen. Coe Says. Decreases made during the last fiscal year in the numper of coast ar- tillery enlisted personnel “leaves many of our fortified harbors practi- cally without any protection what- ever, and none of them—even the most importaat—with anything liki an adequate protection in emergency,” Maj. Gen. F. W. Coe, chief of coast artillery, reported to Secretary Weeks | today in his annual report. After showing the strength of the Coast Artillery Corps to be “less than at any time since 1901," Gen. Coe sald he feels it his duty “to urge strongly that careful attention be given this condition.” “The importance of this matter,” he continued, “is such, and the necessity for the increase so great, that I feel impelled to urge, if it cannot be ac- complished in any other way, that it be secured through congressional ac- tion in the form of an increase in the | authorized strength of the Regular In Our Town Three men stood in front of a hotel.

S. Supreme Court Hand-Blown Manufacturers and Work- ers Seek to Have Set Aside Verdict of Federal Tribunal in Ohio. Argument was begun yesterday in the United States Supreme Court In the appeal of the National Associa- tion of Window Glass Manufacturers, the National Window Glass Workers and others to have set aside the de- cislon of the federal district court for northern Ohlo holding them gullty of having entered into an agreement re- lating to wages and working agree- ments which had the effect of re- training interstate commerce, in vio- lation of the Sherman anti-trust law. | For the first time in the history of the Sherman law, John W. Davis, coun- sel for the National Association of Window Glass Manufacturers stated, the courts were asked to bold an agree- ment between employers and em- ployes on wages and working con- ditions a violation of law. There could be no restraint of trade |- or fixing o fprices i nthe hand-blown window glass Industry, he contended, of window glass was controlled by the Amerfcan Window Glass Com- pany with its machine-made glass. The hand-blown industry had been | ible to live, he added, merely because f the forbearance of the machine was no evidence to support some of the more important findings of the court, and asked “Since when are men to be condemned under a penal statute under mere suspicion and about which there Is not a single word of evidence in this record?” He declared that as a result of the suit there was not at this time a single fire lighted in any hand-blown glass plant in the United tSates. Solicitor General Beck Insisted that the agreement complained of had been entered into for the purpose of enhancing prices, and that it imposed | upon the public the additional cost of maintaining an industry which 1y a portion of each year. | agreement complained of, | output.
