quest TO President Wilson that the

Washington Not
Enthusiastic
Over Expected Plea of Allies
That United States Accept
Armenian Mandate.

Warrington. April 2G.-Q. N. SON.
cials here were surprised today by press
reports that the supreme council at San
Reno is sending a formal request TO
President Wilson that the United States
accept mandate over Armenia.
The United States has previously In
dicated that II does not care to take
such a mandate, II was pointed out, and
with the treaty still unratified and
strong opposition in congress TO the
maintenance of American forces abroad
there is little likelihood that the re-
ported proposal from the supreme coun-
Gil will meet with acceptance here.
The report of Maj. Gen. Harbord on
the demands OF a mandate over Ar
menia did not cause great deal OF en-
thusiasm in congress. This report
showed that mandate over Armenia
would cost several millions Of dollars a
year and would necessitate American
forces of $4,000 being stationed in Ar
menia. Under such conditions there is
grave doubt whether congress would
make the necessary appropriation, even
II the president asked II.
One high official significantly pointed
out that mandate over Armenia Is
matter Of expenditure. while some OF
the other mandates that have been ac-
cepted by foreign powers bring returns
through control over large supplies Of
natural resources.

United States district court for the
eastern district of Pennsylvania, dis
missing for the main part O suit In
equity brought by the, United States to
dissolve combination of competitive
producers. shippers. sellers and carriers
of anthracite coal held together by a
holding corporation known as the Read
ing company, which the government con-
tended constituted a monopoly in re-
straint of trade in violation of the fed
eral antitrust law. The purpose of the
suit was also to dissolve a contributoIy
combination between two of such COM
petitive producers, shippers, sellers and
was to enjoin certain of the defendants
from transporting in interstate COM
merce anthracite coal in which they
have an interest which the government
alleges is in violation of the commodity
clause of the interstate commerce act.
The government made the general
charge that as a result of these al
legged combinations the defendants DOM
mated the anthracite coal trade along
the eastern seaboard.
Redistribution of the stock and bonds
of the Reading and Lehigh Valley rail
road companies and also of their re-
spective coal companies vas ordered by
the court, which sustained the govern
ment's contention that common stock
ownership, officers and directors consti-
stitute a restraint of trade under the
Sherman law. Chief Justice White and
Justices Van Deventer and Holmes dis
sented.
At the same time the court also de-
cided the so-called coal trust" case
brought against the Reading company
and subsidiaries charged with restrain
ing trade in violation of the Sherman
law In, the Schuykill, Pa, coal fields.
