Goal Miners Case Argued By Hughes In Indianapolis
In Indianapolis in May the court heard Hugh Hughes argue that President Wilsons fuel regulations under the Lever Act superseded the general law. Hughes, counsel for United Mine Workers members charged with conspiracy, moved to dismiss the indictment. He contended Counts under the old act failed due to repealed section 4 and that amended section 4 amounted to unconstitutional class legislation. Government aide Sims argued the Presidents rules did not override the Lever Acts general provisions and warned against class legislation.
