FAMOUS LEVER ACT
HELD TO BE FAULTY
SUPREME COURT DECLARES
CERTAIN IMPORTANT SEC
TIONS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
GOVERNMENT USED MEASURE
AS BASIS FOR CAMPAIGN TO
REDUCE LIVING COSTS BY
PROSECUTING HoARDERs AND
PRoFITEERS IN FoODSTUFFs.

Washington, Mar. THE supreme
court yesterday held unconstitutional
the sections of the Leveriact under
which the government stopped the
coal strike of 1919 and subsequently
launched its campaign to reduce the
cost of living by prosecuting alleged
hoarders of and profiteers in food
stuffs and other necessities.
The courts opinion was rendered
specifically in an appeal by the gov
ernment from decree in lower court
but it was sweeping in it's terms and
will have the effect of ending all
prosecutions instituted by the depart
ment of justice in it's cost of living
campaign.
The action of the government in
obtaining injunctions to stop the
strike of bituminous miners in No
vember, 1919, was not before the
court, but department of justise Of
ficials said that it was under Sec
ton 4, which was held invalid, that
the government had proceeded
against the miners.
The opinion of the court was based
largely on the indefniteness of the
sections under review. Chief Justice
White, departing from his prepared
opinion, remarked that the scope of
the sections apparently was "as broad
as human imagination" and that the
degree of criminality was left to ever
changing standards.
Associate Justices Brandeis and
Pitney dissented as to the reasoning
by which the courts decision was
reached, but concurred in the re-
suit.
Not Adequate Standard
The chief justice said in his writ
ten opinion that the sections under
discussion did not constitute a fix
ing by congress of an ascertainable
standard of guilt" and were not 'ade-
,quate to inform persons accused of
violations thereofof the nature and
cause of the accusation against
them"
The wide latitude of possible in
depreciation was clearly evidenced,
he said, by the varied assortment of
cases brought before the court to
test the act. These cases, numbering
ten in all ranged from specific con-
victions to denial of injunctions
sought by retailers to restrain gov
ernment agents for proceeding a.
gainst them. In some cases the gov
ernment appealed from adverse decis-
ions of lower courts quashing indict-
ments, and in others it defended de-
cisions in it's favor.
"Observe that the sections forbid
no specific or definite act" said the
chief justice.
''To attempt to enforce these Sec
tions would be the exact equivalent
of an effort to carry out a statute
which in terms merely penalized or
published all acts detrimental to pub
lie interests when injuries are unrea-
sonable in the estimation of court
and a jury.
