 KEEP COAL UP
tBy United PressJ

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 8.-Sub- hitting a motion for continuance of the case against 125 coal operators and miners for alleged conspiracy to violate the Lever act, Bert Slack, special assistant United States dis trict attorney, today charged in fed eral court that Attorney General Pal mer had issued instructions for the elimination of certain facts when the case came to trial and that if these instructions were carried out, the prosecution would be nullified.
 Mr. Slack submitted his motion when Federal Judge A. B. Anderson opened the court this morning. Judge Anderson announced that the alleg- ed connection of the attorney gener- al with the conspirators would be fully investigated, and MT. Stacks dis closure was the first.

 As charged in the indictment, the 125 coal operators are alleged to have conspired to maintain the price of coal in violation of the Lever act, and further investigation will be to de- termine whether or not Attorney Gen. eral Palmer aided the conspiracy by withholding evidence from the court.
