UP TO U. 8. SUPREME COURT They are waiting for the United States supreme court to decide whether the merchants and oper | ators can enjoin a district attorney from proceeding against them under the Lever act on the ground that It is unconstitutional, Tedrow believes it is the first real test of the con stitutionality of the act. ‘The Lever act, having been framed to help the food, fuel and other ad ministrators who had charge of prices during the war, had as pen alties only revocation of licenses. When the administrators went out of office, there were no more licenses to revoke, and consequently nothing much could happen to anybody who disobeyed the Lever act. It was a spear without a point. Before congress, being busy trying to find ways of discrediting the presi dent, had got around to put a new spearhead on the old pole, a good many profiteers had taken advantage of its harmiessness, Various phe nomena in the pees of clothing. fuel, ete, in Denver during this period caused Tedrow to Investigate and the reswite @f fis investigation caused him ask for a special grand jury in December, 1919. PENALTIES FOR EXCESSIVE CHARGES Meanwhile the Lever act had been amended, and there were penalties attached to the charging of excessive prices for food, fuel and wearing ap parel. The request for the special grand jury was refused by United States} out District Judge Robert FE. Lewis, and @ second request, in January, 1929, also was refused; but early in April the regular grand jury convened and 13 of the city’s leading dry goods. shoe and clothing merchants brought ® suit and three coal operators brought another, asking the court to enjoin Tedrow from doing anything to them by means of the Lever act because the act was unconstitutional The injunctions were granted. The dry goods men had their in Junction made permanent, and this fs the case that is now before the United States supreme court. The fuel men are waiting under the tem porary injunction Crop Notes Prunes in Oregon are beginning to ripen, and are reported to be dropping badly in many places. eee Hoppicking has begun Sacramento va ere The Canadian potato yield ts re.
