locals of the union by internationai
officials instructing the men to return

Operators predicted flhl resumption
of operations Friday and shipment Of

day morning.
Miners, operators and government
officials alike were highly gratifieo
over the settlement and all sides ap'
peared confident of final satisfac'
tory settlement of the fight by the
commission.
The action ends a tieup OF the coal
industry Of more than five weeks du'
ration and one which was more far
reaching in its effects than any other
In the history Of the country. AS
result of the strike, the country was
fast approaching a complete shutdown
of industry.
The decision Of the miners came
after many hours of debate, in which
the radical element in the general
committee made incendiary speeches
against operators and others inter-
ested in settlement Of the strike and
for time threatened to defeat eff
forts to settle the strike at this time.
The conservative element, led by
Acting President John l.. Lewis and
Secretary-Treasurer William Green,
gained control of the situation and
succeeded in putting down practically
all opposition by the time the question
came to vote.
One concession was made to the
radicals. The convention agreed to

Associate Justice Brandeis, held IN Ell

In rendering its opinion the ens'rt,
however, did not act on the validity

ment act or on appeals involving tho

those cases to future opinions WHICH

/ denied the contentious of Elihu hoo1
and other attorneys for the distiller-
les that the act, in violation OF the con,
stitution takes property without Just
compensation, that the period OF the
war emergency for which the act was
passed had terminated, that the law
was an interference with the state pc
lice powers and an undue exercise OF
the war powers of congress.
Congress did not intend for the war
time act to terminate on the concln
sion of the war, but at the END OF the
period of rehabilitation, in the view
of the court. which held that the "con
clusion Of the war clearly did not mean
cessation of hostilities.'
Congress therefore provided TINS
