INTERFERES WITH INTERSTATE COMMERCE. 0 Judge Baker, in rendering his sweep ing decision concerning certain actions cf the coal commission of this State, expressed himself In a decisive manner. In discussing the first reason why the three judges hearing the case were of the opinion that the Injunction should be granted. Judge P>aker said: "The operation of the statue, as In dicated by the orders of the commls alon, la a direct interference with inter state commerce. When the coal is levered from the ground it becomes an < article of commerce and the owner of that commodity, under the interstate commerce clause of the Federal Consti tution, which recognizes no State lines, has the right, so far as the State Is concerned, to sell and to contract to sell his entire output to citizens of other States. "The orders are also an interference with interstate commerce by reason of the showing In the bill that the out put of three of the five mines that are being operated by the complainants has been Coi|tracted to tho Pennsylvania company, an interstate carrier, under a contract meeting the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which approval carries on implied finding of fact that the coal so used Is directly consumed In, or in aid of, Interstate In declaring that the action of the coal ec mmission Impairs the obligation of pre existing contracts, Judge Baker said: "Our conception on that point is this: That there is a distinction to be made between the contracts of a carrier or other public utility which, at the tlmo of Eiaklrg the contract, is of ti<Rt public haracter. and by making the contracting rhen it bears that character it knowing- T la making it subject to the power then HERE’S COMMUNITY CHEST COUPON Following is the coupon used by the community chest in its campaign for $1,000,000 for the support of charitable, benevolent and philanthropic institutions of Indianapolis: Total Amount Advance How Subscribed Payment Payable COMMUNITY CHEST Obtained by Team of Indianapolis, Ind.

Taklu* the insurance company rate case as an illustration of that, we conceive that all policies at the old cate remained in force and were of an absolutely binding nature after the pas sage of the legislation which brought the private business of insurance into the public regulable class. To hold other wise. in our judgment, would ba to give the legislation, which should be pre sumed to be prospective, a retronetlce effect. MAY NOT ORDER MINING OF COAL In discussing the third reason for granting the injunction, Judge Baker held that it la beyond any power of tbe State to order the owner of a purely private title to sever coal from his soil. In discussing the fourth reason of the court In granting the injunction. Judge Baker said: "The fourth ground for granting the injunction is that, assuming that there might be some residue after the de mands of existing contracts and of in terstate commerce were satisfied, the orders of the commission direct the com plainants to make shipments of car loads of coal. The showing by the complain ants 1* that the Indiana coal contains a large amount of sulphur and that It can not be safely stored at the mine: that if stored there or anywhere else it would be likely to be destroyed by spon taneous combustion; that it requires quick and prompt hauling and quick and prompt eonsumtlon by the users, and re quires that care be available at the month of the pit, into which the coal can be placed. “Neither the act nor the plan of oper ation of the commission makes any pro vision for the supplying of complainants or other operators with cars by which they could comply with the mandatory direction. "The further reason that affects the orders as to this supposition surplus that might remain after interstate com merce and contract parties have been sat isfied is that the showing of the com plainants demonstrate that the necessi ties of transporting this coal arc such that It is Impossible to get bills of lad ing. and to collect by the well known method of a bank collection, by means of sight draft attached to bill of lading, and that without such security, or any security, the complainant* are required to ship to parties whom they declare to be unknown to them and of whose credit they have no information and ara given no information. "Os course, if the complainants are re quired to part with this coal and not to receive compensation therefor It would be a case, in that respect, and to that extent, of pure confiscation.” In giving the court’s fifth reason for granting t**e injunction, Judge Baker held that we would agree with the State that this ground for a temporary in junction, or any injunction, would not be tenable if we were enabled .to read See. 11 of the act with the same under standing that counsel for the State and the coal commission put upon it, but, as we read that section, we find no definite assurance that penalties, or prosecutions Curious About Mentho Laxene FIRST DOSE PROYES IT Mentho-Laxene has been on the market ten* years.

CONSIDER \PFEAL TO F. S. SUPREME COURT The opinion of Judge Baker is very clear that the coal commission must comply with the opinion of the court as long as the temporary injunction is in full force and effect.

Approximately 48 hours will be required for this work, beginning Thursday oi this week, and during that period the pressure will be somewhat reduced and by reason of the increased velocity in the smaller feeder lines the water may be somewhat discolored.

INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY. INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1920. Noel for the commission seeking to de termine the scope of the injunction, Judgo Baker Bald: "On tint present showing of the bill, Mr. Noel, there are definite allegations that they have existing arrangements py which their Interstate business will con sume their entire output. They have three mines that are taken entirely out of the case. "As to the other two mines, the allega tions of the bill are that they would be consumed in the Interstate comnutreo that they have, nnd so all of the order* will be restrained as to those complainant*!, on the facts alleged in their bill, and the question is left open for the complain ants to adduce evidence of a situation and you to meek, as to the existence of any tacts on which the Legislature could mako any finding at ail of such oppres sion or wrongs, as would Justify the classing of the business ns one subject to regulation, giving you the plain bene fit that you have had heretofore of the presumption of validity, together with tho holding that there is such a continu ing, general police power that was not hamstrung -to use a common expression —by the fourteenth amendment, so that no change of circumstances could be made after the adoption of that amendment. "Counsel should have no difficulty in drafting an order to correspond with the finding of tbe court.” i Judge Anderson then gave tho*opln | ton of the three Judges in overruling a motion of the coal commission asking that the petition of the coal companies for an injunction be dismissed. Attorney James W. Noel, in arguing against the granting of the injunction late Saturday in the Federal Court, con tended that the cost figures of the coal | companies submitted to the court were | “padded” and that the sheets contained elements that did not properly belong to such tables showing cost of production. Attorney Charles E. Martlndale of In dianapolis and George Sutherland, for mer United States Senator from Utah, presented the arguments for tho coal companies which resulted in the court granting the injunction. One of the specific requests of the coal companies In the prayer for an In junction was that the communion be enjoined and restrained from making any order "regulating and filing the price” of coal mined by them VINDICATE* SrEECHKS OF WALTER MYERS The declai a of th* United States Court is a remarkable vindication of Walter Myers of Indianapolis, w ho was the only cumpatgn speaker who gn\f attention to the Goodrich coal commission law in tho laet campaign. Mr. Myers dU‘ usaed this law In a speech at Hope, where he declared that tbe orders of the commission interfering with Interstate commerce and with con tractual rights would not -bo sustained by the courts. Jesse Esehbacb, chairman of tbe com mission, Issued a public statement in which he attempted to show that Mr. Myers was "unpatriotic" in his explana tion of how the coal commission act was interfering with the luws of the land. The statement was printed in the Indian apolis News and other papers that sup ported the Goodrich administration and not one of them bad the courtesy to print a reply from Mr. Myers. in the court decision Saturday are to be found direct parallels to tbo speech of Mr. Myere which Escliboch declared "unpatriotic."
