utilized for laying in supply against

The accumulation of much of this

as far back as two months ago. indi-
eating that the individuals or firms of

The members OF the mine workers
scale committee are jubilant over what
they consider a virtual victory i.i the
soft coal region and they expect that
the majority OF the operators will sign
the scale and that in a month there will
be no strike there. They argue that
the anthracite operators will hardly
risk the loss of their market by en-
couraging a strike and permitting the
soft coal men TO send their coal to the
anthracite market ard on this account
they hope that the operators will grant
some concessions.

Congress Cannot Take That
Power Away, Says
Senator.

The Administration side of the rail-
way rate regulation and the much-moot-
ed addition OF a provision for court
review IN the Dolllver- Hepburn S''I was
presented by Senator Long today.
Senator Long stated that he agreed
with Senator Knox that there should
be no question of the right OF the car
rier that had been injured by an order
OF the commission 10 sue the commits
sion In the United States circuit court.
While he was satisfied with the House
bill In this particular. yet in order 10
remove all question as 10 It's eonstItu-
tionality he offered the amendment Civ

diction to the court to hear and de-

a review as had been agreed upon bY,
friends or the Hepburn bill and the
President at a conferences at the Ub,ta
House Saturday night.
Provision of Amendment.
Ihe amendment provides that ali or
ders OF the. commission. except orders

hot exceeding two years. unless sooner

Senator Long traced the DEVELOPMENT
or the doctrine of judicial review OF
rates of a commission could not he rnade
maj beyond he power of the court to
inquire into them. He contended that
The decisions of the Supreme Court
clearly showed that before q court will
sci aside a rate made by legislative au-
ihority. il must clearly appear that
me rate Is so unjust or unreasonable
as 10 amount to taking property without
JUST compensation; that the courts will

lative authority when they are confis-
catory and they have defined confisca-
tory rates TO be those which do not give

IN performing the service.
