LIME PLANT PLANS
AGAIN SUSPENDED
MANUFACTURER SECURE WRIT
OF ERROR FROM THE
SUPREME COURT.
TIES STATES HANDS
CASE GOES TO DOCKET NOW AND
WILL BE HEARD ON MERITS
IN JUNE--MAY CARRY 1T
HIGHER YET.

The Commonwealth received an
other setback In its plan to establish
lime-grinding plants for the employ
ment of convict labor yesterday when
the State Supreme Court of Appeals
allowed the lime manufacturers a writ
of error in their appeal from the
City Circuit court of Richmond.
1T will be remembered that the
State drew first blood in the lower
court when Judge r. Carter Scott
passing upon the petition of the lime
manufacturers for an order to re-
strain the State from operating its
own plants. decided that the statute
passed by the last general assembly
is constitutional. an6 the State has a
right to operate such establishments
If it sees fit. The case which is en-
titled the Shenandoah Lime company
ct al VS.. the Commonwealth of Viz
glnia. was then taken TO the Supreme
court and yesterday that tribunal
allowed the writ OF error.
To BE Heard in June.
This means that the appeal will
take its place on the docket of the
higher court for argument on it's
merits at the June term, and in the
meantime the writ acts as a tempo
rary injunction against the establish
ment by the State Of the proposed
plants.
If the appeal is not allowed at the
June term. the State lime commits
sion can then proceed with its plans
unless the manufacturers secure a
hearing in the United States Supreme
court on the ground Of the uBconsti-
tutiouaiity Of the statute. which In the
basis Of their action. If the appeal is
allowed. then the parties to the action
Will have a hearing in the State ST.
prcme court. In any event the estab-
lishment of State lime-grinding plants
is delayed indefinitely
Ties States Hands.
The lime commission appointed by
the last Assem- bly, which is composed
of Governor Mann and Commissioner
Of Agriculture koiner. has had two
meetings since the manufacturers
case was decided against them. The
Consttutonality of the statute was
upheld in the Circuit court They
have decided 10 establish hut one plant
at first I'm order to test the praCti-
cability of the plan and TO ascertain
the cost Of conducting ID. and at the
last meeting took steps to secure op-
fions on suitable sites for the estab-
lishment Of such plants, The COM
mission will probably have these OPP
tjops extended. If possible. and will
then suspend operations until the con-
stitutionaiity Of the statute has run
the gauntlet Of the courts.

ences were held, attended by attorneys
representing the companies, Mr.. Folk
anc the attorney generalOand his as

1t was learned that Judge Thomas
Bates of Chicago, general attorney for
all the companies, at the instance of
Mr.. Folk will recommend to his clients
that they resume business as quickly
as possible under terms proposed by
Attorney General Barker, to-wit: That
two or more companies may use the
same rate on risks of like character
so long as there is no agreement be-
tween them as to fixed rates. Had
the companies accepted these terms
two weeks ago they would not be in
the supreme court to answer to
charges of having violated the anti
trust laws.
