As late as yesterday afternoon, some

The American Red Cross appealed
today for s50o,o00 of contributions for
small home, owners and others without
resources who suffered in the California
earthquake.
At the same time, the Red Cross an
nounced 1t had contributed $50 900 to
the fund
"The $500 owners of small homes
wrecked in this catastrophe are the
most seriously stricken, now that the
emergency has been met" Chairman
John Barton Payne said.
"The majority of these families are
without resources.
California citizens are not themselves
able to bear the whole burden, and the
Red Cross is confident that thousands
of our sympathetic citizens in other
States will want to give to relief fund
for these gravely stricken families.
so the Red Cross is asking help from
the Middle West and the East. Red
Cross chapters everywhere will accept
contributions from the public.
1T should be borne in mind that for
decades Californians have given gen.
erously to relief funds to help victims
OF disasters in other parts of the Ma
ton, but themselves have received NO
help, through the Red Cross or other
wise, since the 1906 disaster in San
Francisco.
Despite the distressful conditions
that affect all Of our citizens, the Red
Cross confidently asks for this $500, 900
for these sorely afflicted families, be-
lieving that the tragic story unfolded in
the press and over the radio in the past
few days has touched the heart Of the
Nation
The Red Cross said 10000 persons
were being fed in the earthquake area.

Organization py the hard-pressed

agencies to pull it out of the depression

Court.
In an opinion handed down yester-

only Justice McReynolds dissented, the
Supreme Court reversed the findings of
three Judge Federal court which had
held invalid the Appalachian Goals, In
corporated. organized as = selling
agency by about 1873 bitur- lous coal
producers in Virginia, W.. Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee.
1t announced. however, that while all
the facts indicated the agency would
not be able to monopolize business in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, the court would retain jurisdiction,
and that the Government, should vio-
lations later occur, would be free to
renew the proceedings against the
agency.
The three Judge Federal court was
sympathetic with the demoralized btu
minous industry, and felt it was en-
titled to some relief. but concluded this
could come only from Congress.
Chief Justice Hughes emphasized the
findings of the trial court with regard
to conditions prevailing in the btu
minous coal industry, and pointed out
that in the United States Steel Cor
poration case the Supreme Court had
found mere size of itself did not con-
stitute monopoly in violation Of the
antitrust law.
In the bituminous coal industry,
Hughes said, there was reason to be-
lieve acute competition among selling
agencies organized by the different
fields would continue, so the industry
could not be monopolized to the detri-
ment Of the public or in violation of
the antitrust law. He said that inter-
state commerce in bituminous coal had
in recent years been crippled by eco
nomic conditions. and employment had
been paralyzed.
