STATE LIME BILL
NOW UP TO COURT
Lawyers Begin Argument, Gov
ernor Mann's Son Opening
for Commonwealth Side.

Argument was heard before Judge
r. Carter Scott in the City Circuit
Court yesterday In the injunction pro-
ceedings brought by the Shenandoah
Lime Company and other concerns en-
gagged in the manufacture and sale Of
agricultural lime in Virginia. against
Governor William Hodges Mann and
members Of the State Convict Lime
Board. the Auditor OF Public Accounts
and others. seeking to restrain them
from putting into effect an act Of
the last Legislature providing for
State lime grinding plants. The Com
monweaith filed its answer to the bill
of the lime grinders. Under provisions
Of the act. the State appropriated
$35.000 for the establishment Of State
lime grinding plants. the products OF
which. made by convict labor. are to
be sold to farmers at cost.
William Hodges Mann, Jr.. son OF
Governor Mann. opened the case for the
Commonwealth, having been appointed
by his father as special counsel for the
State. Rochard Evelyn Byrd. Speaker
of the Virginia House of Delegates.
followed for tho lime grinders. and
Aubrey z. Strobe appeared for the
Commonwealth. The argument Is TO
be continued to-day. when Allen Cap
erton Braxton will speak for the lime
grinders. Either John Pickrel or
Charles V. Meredith will close for the
State.
Question Legality OF Act
The constitutionality OF the act Is
at issue. it being contended by those
now engaged in the manufacture and
sale OF agricultural lime that the State
has no right under the constitution
10 go into business in competition with
them, and to undersell them by the
use of convict labor. 1t Is charged
that the plan for using convicts in
the proposed lime grinding plants Is
a mere subterfuge Of the promoters
OF the bill who would have the state
enter the business Of grinding and
selling lime. and who. fearing that
such an enterprise on the part of the
state might not come within consti-
tutional limitations. have injected the
proposed plan Of using convicts to
make the bill appear before the Lesis-
lature and the public as plan OF
lettering conditions at the peniten-
tiary by giving the convicts healthy
employment. with the incidental
benefit which the farmers would de-
rive from their efforts in securing
cheap agricultural lime.
