 COURT ID REOPEN
 STEEL TRUST SUIT
lRepubiican 4. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The su- preme court was asked today by the government to reopen the antitrust suit against the United States Steel Corporation, dismissed on March 1 by a four to three decision.
 The government argument on the motion for a rehearing was basad largely on the four to three decision rendered by the court last Monday, or : dering the dissolution of the Reading company and it's subsidiaries, the first of the o-called anthracite coal cases to be decided.
 Counsel for the government declared that the steel case would seem to fall within the Reading case and that "the holding of the steel corporation to be a legal corporation under the antitrust act would appear to. conflict with the conclusions expressed in that and other decisions
 Chief Justice White and Associate Justices McKenna, Holmes and Van Devanter, rendered the majority opin- ion in the steel case, while Associate Justices Day, Pitney and Clarke joined in a minority opinion.
 Chief Justice White and Associate Justices Holmes and Van Decanter dissented from the majority in the Reading case, and the chief justice wrote the dissenting opinion. Joining Associate Justice Clarke in the ma jority opinion were Justices Pitney, Day and McKenna.
 Justice McKenna announced the majority opinion in the steel case.

MANY DIFFICULTIES
 HANDICAP FARMERS
 SAYS SEC. MEREDITH
IRepublIoan A. P. Lea4.. wIreI

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April B. Farming was pictured as confronted with more serious difficulties than any other American industry by Secretary Meredith of the agricultural depart ment in an address tonight at an an- nual meeting at the Chamber of Com merce of the United States
 American farmers" the secretary said, "are not only in competition with each other as producers but they are in competition with producers of other countries. Not only that. but agricul- ture as an industry is in direct compe- tition with other industries for capital and especially for labor. Under pres ent conditions farmers are losing in competition for labor.
 Farmers hesitate to pay highar wages because, unlike other industries. there is no opportunity for a quick turnover or to pass the increased cost along to consumers. Not only are farm wages higher than ever before, but farm hired labor is scarce at any price and. on the whole. is said to be rela- lively less efficient than formerly.
 Farmers are now faced with the problem of deciding whether to pay high prices for all the things they have to buy-farm labor, equipment, seed, fertilizers. clothing and supplies-and the investment of a large part of the cost of production in the early spring months, with the prospect that after harvest, when they come to market their crops, they will be compelled to accept lower prices for everything they have to sell; or whether they shall cut down the initial expense of pro- duction by investing less capital in equipment, supplies and hired labor and by reducing acreage and numbers of live stock"

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-"Absurd- ly" high prices for. newsprint paper bought on the spot market are due to a ''corner" resulting naturally from the present shortage, George McAneny, executive manager of the New York Times, declared today before the sen- ate committee Investigating the paper situation. The market price is twice or three times as much as that for paper bought under contracts, he said
 Brokers and small manufacturers were blamed by NIT. McAneny for the high prices. Answering question by Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, as to whether there was profiteering, he said: ''They are selling the paper"
 Frank ?. Glass of Birmingham, Ala. until recently president of the Ameri- can Publishers association, described spot market prices as "excessive' and without distinguishing big and little manufacturers. added that the paper makers were making "big profits

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Supporting the manual Of the mother church and the Christian Science organization, as projected by Mary Baker Eddy, the church committee on general welfare. after five months investigation of the denomination's affairs in Boston. made public majority and minority reports here today The findings aggregate 1s,oo0 words and are said to be ''en- couraging and constructive.
 Among the majority recommends tions are: That no member of the mother church shall receive, for off cial services, in excess of an aggregate of $1O,000 a year; that there be closer and more open relationship between officials and members; that officials of the mother church should discon tinue class teaching during their term of office; that as soon as present con- ditions will permit rotation in office and equality in sexes, where pernis- sible, be applied to all official positions of the mother church.
 The last named recommendation would apply to directors, the period of service in a particular office would be limited to five years and the totaiity of official service not to exceed ten years.
 The majority report was signed by Richard P. yerra1 chairman, New York; Martha w. Wilcox. Kansas City; Jacob S. Shield. Chicago; Henry Deutsch, Minneapolis; Mabel $. Thon- son, London, England. and Edward E. Norwood. Washington, D. C.
 The minority report differs from the majority report primarily on account of opposition by Edward D. Dickey, secretary, of Los Angeles. Cal. to the findings made public to the member ship instead of only to the board Of directors.
 The majority report said that the granting of very high salaries to the chiefs of the churches has been a mat ter of considerable adverse comment in the field, and it believed that there is some Justification therefore.

FIVE PLANS FUR
 SOLDIER RELIEF
 |. ]. ?. DECISION
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-(By The Associated Press. s.)-Republican mem bers of the house ways and means committee virtually decided today to include in their soldier relief legisla- ton program a plan of paid up insur- ance, it's value to increase annually by compounded interest. and on which loans could be obtained from any post office.
 With this addition, ex-service men might elect any one of the five follow ing plans included in the republican program:
 A cash bonus of s125 a day for each day of service; aid in buying farm land, to be reclaimed by. the govern ment; aid in buying city Homes; aid in their education, or, the insurance.
 To popularize the last four plans the republicans propose to allow $1.75 a day for each day of service, instead of the s1.25 cash bonus as the basis for computing farm and home aid loans and the amount of financial aid each man might receive in the form of ed ucational training.
 The insurance plan as such was said by committeeman to be "misnomer'' but they declared it was the most at tractive" of any of the five plans The average period of service for world war veterans was 400 days, they said. explaining that under the insur- ance plan the average could receive paid-up insurance policy of S1.SS7. payable to him in cash at the end of 20 years or immediately to his heirs in event of death.
 The loan value of the insurance denoted in the legislation as adjusted service certificates"-would not ac- crue until the end of the third year the plan had been in force. and at that time an ex- service man with a record of 400 days service. would be entitled to a loan of s551. This would be the cash value of his s'certificate'' at that time at five per cent interest com pounded annually.

WARSAW, April 2S.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-A state of siege has been declared in Posen and that region as a result of fighting between police and strikers. An unconfirmed report says a number of persons have been killed or wounded.
 The railway workers struck Satur- day for higher wages, and Sunday aft ernoon the strikers held manifestations in the streets, stopping tramway traf- fife and breaking glasses in stores and windows in the building occupied by the police president. Pamphlets have been distributed by the authorities claim ing that German communist organs provoked the manifestations.
 The dispatches say that the crowds cheered Germany and that German flags were flown. According to the latest advices the police were in con- trol of the situation
