They cite issues like distress coal shipments, pyramiding to many agents, misrepresentations of size and quality, and credit losses. The Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Hughes, expresses sympathy with the motives but notes litigation over agency power to affect coal prices in interstate markets.

Paris March 18 The government to pay the United States 19 000 000 in war debt interest due last December was brought officially into the chamber of deputies in a resolution urging payment. René Richard radical socialist deputy said a gesture now would be excellent as a crisis has struck the money and credit of the American republic.
