MINE CASES ARE CALLED Head of Department of Justice Criticised for Orders t,o Elimi nate Certain Evidence. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Nov. 8. At torney-General Palmer's orders lim iting the government's evidence to be used In the soft coal conspiracy cases against 126 operators and miners in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, were criticised by Fed eral Judge Anderson in the United States district court today as. being strangely close to the compounding of a felony" and also "dangerously hear contempt of court." Trial of the cases was scheduled to begin today, but government counsel said it was not ready. Before grant ing the continuance asked by govern ment counsel. Judge Anderson under took an investigation of the attorney-general's orders regarding the cases, ending with his criticism of Mr. Palmer's conduct. The court set next January 10 as the date for calling the trials again, announcing that "the meantime will give us time to get our bearings and at least find out whether we are gov erned by law or byi person." Once before the judge declared that Mr. Palmer's attitude in the cases was that of "personal government, not government by law." Palmer's Actions Defended.' The attorney-general was not pres ent, but C. 8. Ames, former assistant to Mr. Palmer, explained that Mr. Palmer's orders had been misunder stood by government counsel, who, testifying at the investigation, said the orders possibly nullified the pros ecution. Judge Anderson's statement regard ing Mr. Palmer's conduct came after hearing most of the testimony, the Judge leading up to his assertion with a series of questions as to whether the attorney-general had au thority to agree not to use certain evidence. Similarly the Judge discussed the elements constituting contempt of court, his purpose being, he said, to "see how dangerously near this gen tleman has got himself to contempt of this court." Court's Ann Is Long. "The arm of this court Is long," continued Judge Anderson in this connection, "and has been known to reach further than Washington. I am not suggesting what may or may not be done. Mr. Palmer is the at torney-general and there le a certain amount of consideration that I am bound to pay to his official position, if I do not pay It to him. himself." After making these remarks. Judge Anderson called" on District Attorney Van Nuys to produce messages ex changed with the department of Jus tice about reopening the conspiracy cases, with a view to reporting furth er grand jury indictments, including the lists of defendants. v One message bearing the name of Assistant Attorney-General Mitchell, saia tne "attorney-general has in structed me to request that before seeking indictments you should con- suit with and lay the facts before this department." Iriterpretlng this message, the Judge said its effect was "that this court cannot proceed unless the attorney-general sees fit to advise." "I am going to have It done," the judge added, his remark apparently meaning that the grand jury soon to convene will reopen investigation of the conspiracy cases. KeMlarnatio Is Explained. Dan W. Slmms of Lafayette. Ind., said he resigned as special prosecutor in the cases, because, he said, the attorney-general's orders would prevent use of evidence that was the basis of the government's injunction case last year against the coal strike and the later contempt proceedings for al leged violation of the court's order directing cancellation of the strike order. Similar testimony was given by L. Ert Slack, another special pros ecutor, and by District attorney Van Nuys. I Mr. Ames, however,"aid Mr. Palmer interpreted his orders to mean only ' the elimination of evidence that was the basis of the contenrot nroceedings I and pointed out that these proceed-j lngs were begun at a date later than that covered by the alleged con spiracy. ' Mr. Ames also eaid that the attorney-general has the right to elect whether the government would prose cute its cases as civil or criminal matters and that having chosen a civil course In the strike Mr. Ames did not believe It fair to proceed with criminal action In this case. He also said that Mr. Palmer "had not Inter fered in any way with the action of the government's special counsel in the present cases." ILLIXOIS DEFENDANTS LOSE Contention That Lever Act Is TJn - . constitutional Denied. PEORIA. 111.. Nov. 8. Illinois de fendants in the coal conspiracy crim inal cases in the United States court at. Indianapolis today lost their case in the federal court in which they sought to enjoin officers of the gov ernment from removing and prose cuting them at Indianapolis on the ground that section 9 of the Lever act was unconstitutional. Judge Louis Fitzhenry this morn ing filed his opinion, holding that section 9 of the act is constitu tional and that the attorney-general and district attorneys are acting within their powers. He also holds that this statute is aimed at all con spiracies to enhance the price of coal within or without the coal industry. .

Experiments with every kind of material, metal that is practical for cylinders has shown that nothing is equal to wood for use in family washers. In metal cylinders the sides are very thin, and as a result the edges of the holes are sharp.. As the clothes come in contact with these holes there is continual wear on them. There is absolutely no wear on the clothes in a Thor wood cylinder. And another very important feature of the wood cylinder is that ' it does not have to be lifted out of the machine to be cleaned.
