THE LEHIGH VALLEY
Dissolution Suit Against Railroad {.
 Company is Being Heard Today by 
 Justice of tho Supreme Court.

Justice of the Supreme Court.
 Washington, Nov. 7.-The govern ments dissolution suit against the Lehigh Valley railroad and affiliated companies, one of the so-called an- thracite trusAcases, was re-argued to- day in the supreme court.
 Solicitor General Davis and George C. Todd, assistant to the attorney general, on behalf of the government, reiterated the charges that the com- pany was combination in restraint of trade and that it had violated the commodities clause by transporting coal in which the railroad was f1nan- cially interested. It was alleged that the Lehigh Valley interests owned ninety thousand acres of coal land, principally in the Wyoming fields of Pennsylvania and controlled approx imately 80 per cent. of the anthra- cite tonnage on it's lines. The gov ernment further alleged excessive freight charges to competitors, and rebates and preferences to subsidiaries. The Lehigh Valley Sales company, 1t was said, was a mere subsidiary of the railroad company
 Counsel for the company made a general denial of the charges.

Scarcity of Birds and Higher Prices
 Will Curtail Sales Here.

Thanksgiving this year will be far from the Thanksgiving of old because, according to the opinion set forth by local marketmen, there is bound to be a shortage of turkeys and, added to this, the price will be much higher than usual making a turkey dinner almost prohibitive for many families.
 A year ago, it will be remembered, turkeys were scarce and the prices were high, but this year they are even moro scarce and, according to a prominent Main street dealer, the price will hardly fall below 50 cents per pound and will range from that price upwards.
