Lever ACT is
DENOUNCED BY
CHAS. HUGHES
Noted Lawyer Savagely As
sails Wartime Act in Fed
eral Court at Indianapolis
For Return of Freedom.
TO CONTINUE TODAY

INDIANAPOLIS, May 8.-Charles
Evans Hughes, chief counsel for bl-
luminous coal miners indicted for al
legged violation of the Lever act, was
to resume his attack upon the consti-
tutionality of the measure when court
reconvened at 10 a. m. today
He assailed the act yesterday after
noon when he argued for a motion
to quash the indictment in federal
court after Judge A. B. Anderson over
ruled the plea in abatement. filed by
the defendants alleging prejudicial in
structions to the special federal grand
jury that returned indictments against
125 Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Penn
sylvania miners and operators. SINH
lar motions to quash the indictment
against the operators were filed by
their attorneys.
Mr.. Hughes characterized the Lever
Act as vague and indefnite' and
cited the fact that it exempts from it's
operation persons engaged in produc-
ing farm products in support of an
argument it sayored of class legisla-
tion."
Assais 1t, Hammer, Tongs
Mr.. Hughes hurled legal invective
against the act, particularly denounc-
He scored the law as class legislation
on account of the provisions excepting
persons engaged in producing farm
products from the penalties of the
act.
Emphasizing the alleged continua-
tion of war regulatory powers during
times of peace, Mr.. Hughes declared
that we have the pretense of war to
continue arbitrary regulation.
When we shall have formal
treaty of peace" Mr.. Hughes declared
God only knows"
In arguing against the constitution
ality of the act Mr.. Hughes said that
the law is contrary to the fifth amend
ment to the constitution in that it de-
prives persons of their liberty without
due process of law, and that it violates
the sixth amendment in that it causes
criminal prosecutions without inform
ing the accused of the nature of the
charges against them. He denied the
right of congress to take away these
guaranteed liberties on account OF
war necessities.
Can't Take Away Liberty.
"We shall insist" said Mr.. Hughes
that congress no more in time of
war than in time of peace can take
away constitutional rights. There is
no authority of congress to maintain a
law of this kind"
Mr.. Hughes directed his legal as
sault particularly against the portions
of the indictment drawn under pro
visions of the act providing for the
prosecution of conspiracies to charge
excessive prices.
What is an excessive price," he
asked. This act is outside every
known category of the law"
Recent activities of the Department
Of Justice in price regulation were de
nounced by Mr.. Hughes.
We have seen agents Of the De
partment of Justice" said the noted
lawyer, go to people. without author
ity, and say, unless you do so and Sc
you will be indicted 1t has come tC
PASS that an administrative office is
doing this without warrant of law"
Mr.. Hughes was preparing to con
tinue his arguments on the question O.
war powers when court adjourned un
til this morning.
