BRINGS REBUKE IN COURT

! Counsel In nine pending suits ad-
dressed tho court. They admitted the
right of the government to draft ciu-
zcns through the state militia. but not
as individuals. and contended the Law
prevents political and religious free
dom and denies citizens equal protec-
ton
Harry weinberger, Of New York, rep
resenting Emma. Goldman and AleEan-
der Berkman. confined his attack prtn-
cipally TO the assertion that the law de-
priras citizens OF religious liberty 4nG
added the government has no right to
grant exemptions on religious grounds.
Others argued that judicial power was
usurped by delegating to the President
authority to establish local draft boards
to determine what men should be chosen
for service and which exempted.
Solicitor General Davis for the gov
ernmcnt will reply tomorrow.
