SILICA GROUP APPEALS
CASE UNDER TARIFF LAW
Company Seeks to Compel Secre-
tary Mellon to Keep Belgium
Sand Off Free List.

The Nevada Silica Co. noted an appeal
to the District Court of Appeals from
the refusal of Justice Peyton Gordon of
the District Supreme Court to grant an
injunction against Andrew Mellon, Sec
retary of the Treasury, to compel him
to keep Belgium sand off the free lists
at ports of entry. The Treasury Depart
ment, it was charged, had held the for
eign product dutiable and later reversed
its finding and ordered it in the free
list.
The company, through Attorney
Thomas P Littlepage, contended that
had expended large sums of money in
machinery to work the silica deposits
of this country after the first ruling of
the department and now would be un-
able to compete with the foreign product
and would suffer irreparable loss.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover,
for the Secretary, asserted that the
court lacked jurisdiction to interfere
with the discretionary powers of Secre-
tary Mellon and declared that if the
company is not satisfied with the de-
cision of collectors at the various ports
it should take the matter up with the
customs authorities and in the event of
an adverse finding should go before the
Court of Customs Appeals. Justicel Cor
don denied the injunction and dismissed
the bill.
