SUPREME COURT CONVENED MONDAY WITH
ACCUMULATED DOCKET BE DISPOSED OF
| WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.—The Unit
led States Supreme Court, after be
ing in recess since June 9, recon
vened Monday to remain in session
until the second Monday in June,
1925. Chief Justime William Howard
iTaft presided at the opening session.
Following a long-established cus
!tom tht court rendered no decisions
i the first day, but the justices, after
jadmitting a number of lawyers to
practice, left the Capitol for the
White House to pay their respects to
President Coolidge.
Arguments on cases advanced for
early haering by the court will be
gin on Tuesday, October 7.
Th edocket for the present term
gives evciy indication of being a
heavy cne.
More tl.an 700 cases have been
entered—nearly 150 more than for j
the opening of the court at the
last term. More than 300 of the i
j 1.100 cases on the docket at the last
term have been carried over for
j the present term, and the court is
about two years behind,in its work.
There was a modification of the
rules at the last term to facilitate
the handling of cases, and these
rules are expected to speed up the
court’s work for the rest of year.
The cases brought by the govern
! ment to cancel the oil leases given
by former Secretary of the Interior
Fall to Edward L. Doheny and
Harry F. Sinclair are expected to
reach the Supreme Court during
the present term, but will not be
decided, as the fight will be a long
and stubborn one.
The court will hear a sidelight
on these cases when argument
starts in the *government case
against M. S. Daugherty, brother of
former Attorney General Harry G.
Daugherty, for refusal to let a spe
cial senate committee, headed by
Senator Wheeler, of Montana, have
certain records from his bank, the
Midland National, of Washington,
Court House, Ohio.
This case has been docketed in j
the Supreme Court on an appeal by j
the governent from a decision of j
lower Federal courts sustaining M.
S. Daugherty in his resistance a
gainst contempt proceedings before
the senate for his refusal. The
senate committee sought to ascer
tain the financial transactions of
former Attorney-General Daugherty
since November 1, 1920, suspecting
it might lead to disclosures in the
oil scandal. The lower Federal
courts held the committee illegally
sought to exercise judicial func
tions.
Two important government anti
trust cases are before the court.
The dissolution is sought of the
Maple Flooring Manufacturers’ As
sociation as a combination in re
straint of trade in maple, beech
and birch flooring through ex
change among the manufacturer's of
sales, coats and stock reports. The
association was adjudged ,guilty of
Michigan Federal courts. Action has
been brought by the government
against the National Biscuit Co., to
discontinue discriminatory low pric
es to large jobbing purchasers, to
the detriment of the smaller purch
asers.
There are a number of cases be
fore the court seeking interpreta
tions of the various tax laws. Ex
ecutors of the $90,000,000 estate of
the late Henry C. Frick, of Pitts
burg, Pa., are seeking to escape
payment of $1,880,000 additional es
tate tax to Pennsylvania, having
paid the state $1,900,000. They claim
to have paid the additional tax un
der the estate tax laws of other
states and countries in which parts
of the Frick estate were located.
Distributees of surplus of the Phelps
Dodge Corporation and of stocks
of the General Motors Corporation
are trying to avoid tax payment on
the ground the surplus was accumu
lated in years preceding the tax law
enactment and the stock was a div
idend and not income.
Household Hint
tt v; i aV^
WHEN using a sewing machine
on a dark day, or in the eve
ning with the artificial light
■haded by the body or the hands,
a flashlight placed on the machine,
with its light turned on the needle,
makes sewing easy. It throws the
eye of the needle, for threading,
into clear view, and also makes a
basting or seam more easily seaa
and, hence, easier to follow.
Anthracite coal companies of Penn
sylvania. including the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal and Iron Co., are
testing the validity before the court
of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal
tonnage tax. About $3,000,000 an
nual revenues for the state are in
volved in this case. The state courts
sustained the validity of the law.
but the policy of this tax has been
assailed in congress and through
out the hard-coal burning states.
Steel companies are interested in
an expected decision from the court
on power in the Federal Trade com
mission to enforce an order against
the Claire Furnace Co., of West Vir
ginia, requiring separation of its
interstate and intrastate book ac
counts and details of production and
sales costs and prices. The steel I
companies contend enforcement of
this order would put a staggering
burden on interstate commerce, ille
gal and unnecessary.
There are cases from Washington
and Oregon testing constitutionality
of state laws making mandatory the
education of children in public
schools, and from Ohio and other
states prhoibiting the teaching of
German in public or secular primary
schools.
The court*is confronted with a
large number of appeals of cases
originating under the Volstead and
other prohibition laws. Most of
these are for reversal of convic
tions for alleged violations of the
laws, but two cases—one from New
York and the other from Montana
—are test cases of the right of con
gress to restrict physicians in the
quantity of liquors they may pre
scribe for patients.
Railroad complaints have brought
many appeals against awards of
damages to injured employes under
the Federal Compensation law and
the various state laws. Some of
these damages are claimed to be
excessive, one for $100,000 having
been given a circus actress.
