COAL CASES ARE
DISMISSED HERE

this connection they pointed out a
paragraph Of the statement which
read:
"Only good can come by everybody
realizing where they stand, and by
wiping off the slate in this particular
class of cases now pending and by
beginning anew
Significant parts of the attorney
generals statement were:
Careful investigation strongly sup.
ports the protests of the defendants
that many of the things charged and
complained Of by the Government in
the indictment under the Sherman act,
were in no, small measure due to the
efforts of those who were Government
officials during the war, to bring
about, it was supposed, more intensive
cooperation between the operators,
miners and railroads in the production,
allotment and transportation of coal"
Collective Bargaining

the collective bargaining between the
operators and miners, scales commit

system, and the diswibution OF sta
tistics-each set forth in the indict-
ment as a means for the accomplish
ment of the unlawful conspiracies
charged-were well known to the then
responsible Government officials, and
that, to say the least, such acts were
permitted by such Government Of
ficials without protest"
II believe the acts complained OF
were unlawful. I have, however
reached the conclusion that the evi

able to submit to the jury is more or
less convincing on the question of in

create a reasonable doubt of guilt
That being so, I believe verdict OF

II am at this particular time, there

WHEAT REGA|NS
OPENING LOSSES
Favorable Crop News Keeps
Corn Weak All Day,
By United Financial

BIZ United Financial
CHICAGO, June 28.-Prices closed
irregular on the Chicago Board Of
Trade today.
Wheat regained its earlier losses
with good class Of buying while
corn and oats showed irregularity.
The wheat market was featured by
many dips and rallies throughout the
session. Prices slumped when early
buyers found the market lacked
support. Later, however early losses
were regained and some gains were
made.
Corn remained erratic throughout
the late trading and displayed an
easier undertone, due generally to
favorable crop news. The oats mar
ket slumped after displaying in
dividual strength earlier.
Lower hogs, weaker cables and an
estimate Of heavy livestock receipts
kept provisions weak all day.

pretensions are intended only to alarm
the public so that it will consent to
give any price for coal in order to be
insured against freezing.
Fair and lawful agreements must
be entered into hereafter. and the
things complained Of in the indict-
ment in this particular case must
be discontinued.
Public Impatient
1.-THE intelligent people of this
country have grown impatient with
the constant quarrel-sometimes only
a pretended quarrel - between
operator and miner spokesman, which
takes place every few years, and
lately more frequently, resulting in
great losses to industry and great
losses to the working man, to say
nothing of the great hardships to
everybody. Hereafter, the Govern
ment will give more attention than it
has heretofore to the rights Of these
who suffer the greatest loss by reason
of those unlawful acts and who are
entitled to the first consideration"
Will H. Hays wired Daugherty that
he would arrive in Indianapolis today
and wished to have talk with him.
Daugherty said he had no idea what
subjects Hays wishes to discuss.
U. S. Lesh, attorney general Of In
diana, telephoned the Federal build
ing and asked when he might see
Daugherty. He said he had no legal
matters to take up with him, but
merely wished to make a personal
call.
Daugherty expected to leave for
Columbus, Ohio, today.

VACATION SCHOOLS
HOLD INTEREST OF
CHILDREN IN BIBLE

Models of Subjects During
: Idle Hours.

All this in a Sunday school roomi

and arts feature the daily program.
An extra treat is planned each week.
Fudge parties, picnic luncheons and
birthday parties are given the young

weeks Of good times and to occupy
idle hours Of the children with Bible
stories, games, dramatization, craft
work and music appreciation" Mrs.

over the city. Thirty-seven schools
with an estimated enrolment of $500

change Of heart by a statistical serv-
ice that turned bearish earlier in the
week apparently had some effect on
the investment rails in the early
dealings on the Stock Exchange to-
day. New York Central jumped a
full point on the initial transaction
and Union Pacific scored an opening
gain of IL points. Record car load
ings reports also contributed to the
carrier group advancement. Dupont
was the feature of the industrial
group, jumping points to ITO.
First Hour
Stocks acted in the first hour as
though a heavy weight had been
lifted from the market After close
that had held forth prospects Of
continued decline, prices showed i'm
provement from the start of trading
that suggested developments over
night that had bettered the inside
position of the speculative structure
One prominent bear operator was re-
ported covering all around the room"
before IL o'clock.
Second Hour
Another drive was made on the
whole list in the late morning trad
ing and new lows on the move were
reached by many active issues such
as Baldwin, American Car, Canadian
Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio, as well
as Erie and Wabash among the low
priced rails. But this weakness on
the reaction was offset Ey signs of
impressive support in Steel and Stude-
baker, both of which rallied easily to-
ward noon. when pressure was mo-
mentarily lifted.
Noon Hour
Commission houses reported that
bargain hunters were out in force on
the morning decline and odd-lot buy
ing for investment made it's appear
ance in large volume during the noon
hour. One firm executed close to
100 odd-lot orders from various Sec
tions of the country and another more
than forty. Accumulation Of this char
acter supplemented heavy buying for
the account of important banking in
terests and a sharp rally ensued to-
ward 1 o'clock.
Fourth Hour
The first real check of the selling
movement that had swept the ex-
change for the past three days came
into the market shortly after noon,
supported by banking interests and
business and commercial men who
have coolly watched proceedings and
compared market fluctuations with
present business conditions This
support, added to that afforded by
the bargain hunters" furnished a
fitting background for a recovery
such as had its inception in the early
afternoon buying.
Closing Hour
Values finally asserted themselves in
style in the days stock market SEES
sion and the general market at the
over the further heavy selling begun
early in the morning. For three days
the decline had proceeded with little
trace of rallying power and the coun-
try with bear propaganda that played
into the hands of professionals, but the
impressive support that developed on
important buying by investment in
terests turned the tide in favor of ris-
ing prices.
