program Of the state in connec-

go, it was announced today by

ence here with Attorney George
A. Bangs Of Grand Forks.
Mr. Shafcr said, however, that
this program would be held up
pending possible review of the
original case by the state, SUI
preme court.
The attorney general added
that no direct appeal lies in the
former action, but that the high
court by reason of supervisory
powers over district courts has
power to call for the records for
the purposes of review. A peti-
tion to this end will soon be pre-
sented to the supreme court he
said.

The government bill. prepared un-
der the personal direction Of AttOr
ney-Gencral Daughcrty after con-
sultation with President Harding,
asked the court to prevent the New
York sugar and coffee exchange per-
manently from entering into or per-
hitting any transactions in sugar
unless the persons purporting to
make such sales has in his posses
sion or under his control a supply
Of sugar adequate to meet the re-
quirements of such transactions
The action is requested, the gov
crnment says, as result of "an or
gy of speculation" which has driven
up the price of sugar to the con-
sumcr and which during February
enriched the pockctbooks of brokers
by 100000. A conspiracy in res
traint Of trade and commerce is
charged and officials of the exchange
and of the New York Coffee and Su-
gar Clearing House Association
against which the. injunction would
be directed jointly with the ex-
change are asked to appear in court
and answer the governments allega-
ti0ns.
United States Attorney Hayward,
who was in charge locally Of the in
