Will Ask Rehearing
in the Patent Case

WASHINGTON. April /. - The de-
feated parties to the patent monopoly
case recently decided four TO three by
the supreme court Of the United States.
today asked the court to rehear the is
sue before full bench. The United
states government Joined in the appeal
with request for permission TO inter
Nene because the case is regarded as
Of the greatest public interest and In
wolves the enforcement Of the Sherman
antitrust law
According to the governments appliea-
ton the United States is seriously con-
cerned In a number Of Sherman law suits
by the courts decision. which sustained
the right Of a patentee TO attach to the
sale of an invention restrictions stipu-
lating that the purchaser must use in
connection with the patented article only
such supplies, which are not patented,
as are bought from the patentee OF the
invention.
The decision the government submits
extends the power Of property held un-
der letters patent beyond the warrant Of
the constitution and the grant Of the
patent laws. and puts II above the au-
thority of congress to regulate commerce
among the several states. and above the
universal Limitation expressed in the
maxim, so use your own as not to injurs
another's.

First Decision Made
by Commerce Court
Fails to Stand

WASHINGTON, April IA signal vic
tory was won today by the Interstate
Commerce commission when the supreme
court of the United States decided the
commission had the power to compel
water lines to report TO II regarding in
trastate as well as interstate business.
1t was the first case from the COM
merce court to be considered by the
supreme court and the commerce court
was reversed.
While the case before the court con-
cerned Immediately only, water lines. the
government declared in arguing the
cases that the defeat Of the commission
in this case would mean that rail-
roads also need not report regarding in
trastate business and the commissions
whole system Of gathering reports re-
lative to commerce would be worthless.
The orders in question required re-
ports regarding operating expenses and
operating revenues OF water lines and
affected principally lines on the great
lakes.
The commerce court held that the
commission had power to require re-
ports only regarding traffic carried un-
der joint arrangement with railroad
carriers. but not as purely intrsstate and
port-to-port business.

made by the commerce court in confus-
ing knowledge of intrsstate commerce
with regulation Of II, He said II was
within the power Of the commission to
require Showdown OF the whole bust
ness" intrastate as well as interstate.

COAL MINERS SUSPEND WORK
Four Hundred Thousand Men in Cen.
tral and Eastern Mines Idle.
BITUMINoUS MEN ARE VOTING
Probability that Terms Agreed On
at Cleveland Conference WIN
he Accepted - Anthracite
Men More Apprehensiye.

CLEVELAND. O., April i.-Seores of
thousands of coal miners quit work today
in the anthracite fields Of Pennsylvania
and In the central competitive field" Of
the bituminous portion Of the industry.
Officially the movement Is "suspen-
sion OF work, and whether II is to de-
velop into a widespread strike depends
upon the outcome Of voting In the union
ranks and Of conferences between the
men aud employers within the next ten
days
Anthracite men are more apprehenslve
than their bftuminous brethren as to the
outcome. This condition Is predlcated
upon the fact that there Is no definite
agreement Immediately In sight for the
hard coal men, whereas the bituminous
conference here adjourned after the
mems representatives had abandoned
practically all their demands except for
increased wages, and on this point modl-
fled their terms considerably.
Referendum ballot BeHun.
The union men are to take a referendum
ballot at one as to whether the modified
terms for a new wage agreement are to
be accepted and there is a general feeling
that the result OF the ballot viii be a
return TO work.
Upon the outcome OF the voting in the
central competitive field-comprIsing
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
will depend also the basis for new wage
scales In other sections OF the country,
where the present agreements do not
expire until May or later. Southern and
southwestern mines and the compare
lively few in the Rocky mountain states
are affected by this status Of affairs.
Four Hundred Thousand Affected.
West Virginia and Kentucky bitumlnous
fields will not be greatly affected unless
the present suspension becomes a strike.
Nonunion labor predominates In these
mines and the men in similar situations
In the industry have shown a disposition
to continue at work.
Approximately 10000 men are directly
affected today and some 10000 more,
scattered throughout the coal districts
OF the country are watching the oucome
of he suspension for its possible ef-
feet upon their own wages and working
conditions. II probably will be at least
thirty days before all mines will have
resumed. IL the referendum votes and
conferences result favorably. and the
last ten days Of that period may pre-
sent problem as to fuel supply to in
diustries Of all character.
Soft Coal Miners VIII Accept.
INDIANAPOLIS. April Its all over
but signing the new wage contracts. As
a matter OF course the increase in wages
won by the soft coal miners will be fol-
lowed by the granting Of an increase to
the anthracite miners without a struggle.
