All are expected to be decided at the
same time.
Dates have not been fixed for the hear

| These cases were argued last term. Ru-
mors that owing to the war, action on
them would be delayed until after peace
was declared were met by Chief Justice
White ordering them reargued at this
session. The cases stand near the top of
the docket and unless delays occur, court
officials expect the harvester and the
anthracite trust cases to come up for
consideration this month and the Others
shortly afterwards This will be the
second time the steel and the shoe ma
chinery cases have been argued and the
third time for the harvester and the an

The harvester case was appealed to the
supreme court from the Minnesota fed

solution OF the company and its subsid

Permit me to say in reply that Con-

the conservation of food of sufficient i'm

armies of our allies in the great Euro

creasing the cost of living among our
own people.
This has been largely as the result
of Mr.. Hoover's estimates and recon-

that his information upon the subject
makes his opinion of great value Mr.
Hoover states that fully 90 per cent. of

FIVE ANTITRUST
CASES TO BE HEARD
By United States Supreme Court which
Convened To-day After Annual
Summer Recess.

Washington, Oct Five big anti
trust cases involving the dissolution OF
the United States Steel corporation, the
international Harvester company, the
United Shoe Machinery company and
the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Read
ing companies and affiliated coal COM
panies, the so-called anthracite coal trust
cases, together with proceedings from
four states to test the constitutlonality
of the draft law, are before the United
States supreme court, which reconVened
Yesterday following the annual summer
recess.
The opening to-day was purely per-
functory, adjournment being taken al
most Immediately in order to permit
Chief Justice White and his associates to
pay their customary call on President
Wilson. The hearing of arguments on
the pending cases will begin tomorrow
but court officials do not anticipate any
decisions being handed down for several
weeks.
Among the first cases disposed of, it is
expected, will be those growing out of
the enforcement of the draft law. If
these were permitted to come up in their
regular order they would not be reached
for Is months, but Attorney General
Gregory plans to ask that they be ad
vanced for early decision While govern
ment officials and especially those con-
nected with the war department feel
there is no question about the validity
of the law, a decision by the highest
court would do much to discolra pe con
trary sentiment in various sections of
the country.
Appeals from the decision of Judge
Speer in Georgia, who upheld the con
stitutionality of the law, and cases from
Minnesota, Ohio and New York, which
include those of Emma Goldman and
Alexander Berkman, convicted of at
tempting to oppose the carrying into eff
feet of the law by urging men within the
draft ages not to register, have been filed
