j. S. HIGH COURT .
KILLS LEVER LAW
Profiteering Curb Too Vague,
Chief Justice White Holds.
JUSTICES CONCUR IN OPINION
eec+;on Eour of Act Is Weak Point
and Is Held to Be Unconsttutional
Decision Affects Many
Suits.

Washington March 1.-The Unlted
States Supreme court decided that the
anti-profteering provisions of the Lee
yer act are unconstitutional, ana az
result all government prosecutions
pending against food profiteers VIII DE
dismissed.
The court held that congress had no
authority to enact section OF the Le-
yer act. as originally enacted in loli,
and re-enacted in 1919. Section
sought to punish all persons engaged
in the production or distribution OF
food except farmers, who MADE more
than ''fair profit" but did not uenne
what flair profit was.
The court maintained that the LAM
guage of the section was vague and
inadequate and gave courts and Juries
power to set up their own standards
as to when profits became excessive.
and were punishable under the act.
White Hands Down Decision.
Chief Justice White handed down.
the decision, all of the Justices con-
curing. Ten cases were pending De-
fore the court, but the specific decision
was made in the governments case
against the Z. Cohen Grocery COM
pany, st. Louis.
The government charged that the
Cohen company had violated section
of the Lever act "by wilfully and fe-
Ioniouslv making an unjust or unreal
sonable rate and charge" in handling
sugar.
The grocery company contended that
the courts brought against 1t by the
Department of Justice were so vague
as not to inform it of the nature and
cause of the accusation; that section !
of the Lever act was SO indefinite that
it could not be told what was forbid
den, and that it constituted a delega-
ton by congress of legislative power
to courts and juries to determine what
acts should be held to be criminal and
punishable. Moreover, the company
contends the country was virtually at
peace and that congress had no power
to regulate profits with section 4.
The federal courts In st. Louis ac-
quilted the Cohen company and the
Department of Justice Immediately APP
pealed
In it's decision the Supreme court
did not pass upon the contention that
the country is at peace.
Section Four Unconstitutional.
In declaring section A unconstitu-
tional the Supreme court held that the
section fixed no ascertainable standard
of guilt and that it was not adequate
to inform persons accused of profiteer-
ing of the nature and cause of the ac-
cusations brought against them by the
government.
''To attempt to enforce the section"
the decision declared, would be tho
exact equivalent of an effort to carry
out statute which in its terms mere
ly penalized and punished all acts det-
rimental to the public interest, when
unjust and unreasonable in the estl-
mate of the court and jury"
In it's decision the Supreme court
made reference to persistent efforts
which the records disclose were made
