MATHEWS, Circuit Judge
(concurring in the result).
Appellants, Aron Rosensweig and Abe Rosensweig, were charged by information with having violated §§ 4(a) and 205(b) of the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix, §§ 904(a) and 925(b), by violating regulations1 under § 2 of the Act, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix, § 902. The information was in six counts. Appellants were arraigned and pleaded not guilty to each count. Thereafter, on August 11, 1943, they withdrew their pleas of not guilty and pleaded guilty to counts 1 and 3. On August 30, 1943, judgments were entered sentencing appellants on count 1, suspending the imposition of sentence on count 3, and dismissing counts 2, 4, 5 and 6. On August 31, 1943, appellants made a motion to vacate the judgments. An order denying the motion was entered on September 2, 1943. These appeals were taken on September 3, 1943. They are from the judgments, not from the order.
Appellants contend that the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942 is unconstitutional. The contention should be rejected upon the authority of Yakus v. United States, 321 U.S. 414, 64 S.Ct. 660; Bowles v. Willingham, 321 U.S. 503, 64 S.Ct. 641; Fink v. United States, 9 Cir,., 142 F.2d 443; Taylor v. United States, 9 Cir., 142 F.2d 808.
Appellants contend that the regulations they were charged with violating are invalid. We are not empowered to consider the question thus attempted to be raised. See § 204(d) of the Act, 50 U.S.C.A. § 904 (d); Yakus v. United States, supra; Bowles v. Willingham, supra; Taylor v. United States, supra.
Appellants contend that the court below abused its discretion in denying the motion to vacate the judgments. The question thus attempted to be raised cannot be raised on these appeals, for these appeals are not from the order denying the motion to vacate the judgments,2 but are from the judgments. On such an appeal, such an order is not reviewable.
The judgments should be affirmed.

 Regulation No. 148 (Federal Register 8609) and Regulation No. 169 (Federal Register 10381).
