MINERS CASE COMES UP
 IN INDIANAPOLIS TODAY

Indianapolis, Ind, May 6-Arguments will be taken up at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning on the governments answer to a plea in abatement filed today by Charles Evans Hughes. special counsel for the United Mine Workers of America, at the arraignment of the miners and Indiana operators on charges of conspiracy to vio- late the Lever act. MT. Hughes argued in support of the plea, which is based on Judge A. B. Anderson's instrlIctions to the special federal grand jury which in vestiga ated the coal situation.
 The miners plea is based specifically on that part of the instructions in which Judge Anderson called attention to a ru- mored combination between the miners and operators and in which he called at- tention to a speech in congress in which | a representative quoted John l.. Lewis, | then acting president of the United Mine | Workers of America, as saying that the | operators association and the miners union were working together for the pur- pose of wiping out competition and of | rlakIng war on all interests in conflict with them.
 1 The contention of the defense is that i; the statement of the court was "seriously nrejudicial' to the interests of the de. ] fendants, as also were the directions oi
 the court that the jury inquire i0to the | question as to whether the government | of the United States or a small group ot
 men shall rule this country, and whether f we shall be governed by law or b, l threats of force"

TO DISCUSS PLANS OF --
 AN OPEN MARKET IN WHEAT

Chicago. May s.-Plans for the re- establishment of an open market in wheat following expiration of the wheat guaranty act on June l. will be discussed here tomorrow a Ia meeting of repre- sentative sof boards Of trade. country and terminal elevator associations gram buyers. exporters and bankers. called by Julius H. Barnes. wheat director
 The open market. including trading in futures. was suspended early in the war at the request of Herbert Hoover. and has never been restored. as the govern ment guaranteed price for wheat remains in effect until June l.
 The Chicago board of trade and other exchanges throughout the country desire to resume trading in futures. it is said. but want assurances from the Eoxernnent 10 safeguard their market
 They particularly wish. they state, gov- enmental protection against the pool or foreign governments which has been buying grain for export Present ex- change rules forbid a corner in grain in this country, but unless the government will give it's support. the exchange men | say, there is nothing to prevent foreign governments. through their pool nanipu- lating the market and unduly depressing prices. tthe expense of the American farmers.
 The only way this can be prevented. the boards of trade wwill tell MT. Barnes. is for the United States to notify the for eign governments that the embargo sec ton of the Lever act will be invoked fl necessary and that contracts executed in violation of American laws will be nulli- fled.
 An example of the immeEEe power of the pooled resources of all the allied governments was furnished early thil year, according to Elmer F. Gates. presi' dent of the Chicago board of trade, wher the allies. by agreement remained out oi the American market for four. weeks
 The result was a drop of from 50 to 7s cents in the price of wheat The allie then came back and executed future con tracts at the low price, the Americar farmers losing the difference.
