Miller and James A. Bing- ham, of counsel for the operators, The motions attack the constitutional- ty of the sections of the Lever food con- trol act on which the indictments are based, and asser( these sections are in- operative since they relate to the ‘fuel industry. Sections 4. 9 and 26 and the amend- ment to Section 4 of the Lever Act, both the miners’ cotnsel and the operators’ lawyers asserted are in contradiction' to the fifth amendment of the constitution in that they deprive persons of their lib- erty and property without due process o flaw. and of the sixth amendment in that they cause ¢riminal prosecution without informing the accused persons of the nature of the charges against them. The indictments are: defective and in sufficient, the motions assert, hecaus they “purport to relate to a period which the president of the United States un- der Section 25 of the act of congress of August 10, 1917, exercised powers of regulation confided in him, and that.dur- ing that period said statutory provisions of sections 4 and were intended to bé inoperative and the obligations and duties of those engag- ed in the bituminous coal industry were determined hy rules made by the presi- dent under the authority conferred. .on him by congress.” Each of the counts of the indictment, the motions assert, fails to charge an offense under any law of the United States with the certalnty required law. = The indictments were ambiguous, redundant, uncertain. vague and indefin- ite, it is declared. ~ The motions in-each case reiferated the plea in abatement, ‘which wos overruled by Judge A.

Great Britain has stolen a wide march on the United States and France in the resump tion of business relations with Gcrnz. in the opinion of French merchants wi have tried to buy goods across the Rhine. In a great majority of ecases, the merchants report, the German man- ufacturer replies to inquiry that his plant will be tied up for a iong time to come by contracts with British castom- ers. An investigation based upon these re- ports is said to have developed the fact that the British * are exporting great quantities of raw material to Germany for which they are asking no Anmoneybmmuxm;-n.m'fi articles in exchange. Germany now is getting her iron ere. largely from Sweden under similar ar-. rangement. mmking her almost entirely independent of France for raw mater- fals. Having at the same time reopened her big outlet for manufactures else- where, Germany is aiso independent, to a great extent, as to her selling while France is anxious to get from her coal and agricultural implements which she can no longer buy in the United States without immense disadvantages due to the unfavorable exchange. Belief is expressed in official ecircles that Germany fs seeking to, use this economic Kluullon to bring pressure om France with a view to gaining conces= sions in the terms of Versallles treaty. What little export business been able to do with Gemunmh—‘- transacted under the greatest difficulties, the German buyers meeting all sorts of obstructions in obtaining import M- censes for French goods. it is sald. The situation resulting from all these circumstances will be one of the first subjects raised at the approaching Fram- co-German conference at Paris. The French delegates, it is understood, will ask the Germans to show what they can do in the way of reciprocity before seriously considering German partieipa~ tion in the restoration of mnorthern France, plans for wh ich. it is supposed, will be presented by the German dele- gates. : the csaus SIE CONTEST OVER ADMINISTRATION - OF THEODORE P.
