ARGUMENTS HEARD IN TRUST CASES
BY Associated Press

Washington October T.--1n accordance with the governments announced inten- tion of resuming the prosecution of the antitrust cases pending in the supreme court, now that the war has ended ar guments were heard today in appeals brought in suits instituted by the govern ment under the Sherman act against the alleged anthracite coal trust and the United States Steel corporation.
 The hearing of the coal cases was con- cluded, but owing to additional time be- ing granted both sides for argument, the steel case will not be finished until Friday.
 Before arguments in those two cases were begun, the court, at the request of Solicitor General Knox, consented to postpone temporarily the hearing of ar- guments in government suits against the Eastman Kodak company and the Asso- ciated Bill Posters and Distributors union. These are expected to be heard possibly late this fall
 Except for the order of the federal dis trict court calling for the severance of the Central railroad of New Jersey from Reading interests, the government lost both it's cases in the lower court against the Reading holding corporation, the Le- high Valley Railroad company and the United States Steel Corporation and their subsidiaries. All the cases have been ar gued before in the supreme court so the Lehigh case was submitted to the court today on the printed briefs previously filed by both sides. The other argu- ments were virtually reI,etitions of those already presented.
