BRING SUIT TO PREVENT COMMISSION’S OPERATIONS

Attorneys for Indiana coal operators are preparing to bring suit in federal court to pretent the opera-, tion of the special food and coal commission created by the special session of the legislature. It is expected that the suit will be filed within a short time. While state officials expected that an attack would be made on the law it was not believed that legal proceedings would be begun until the commission began functioning. Jesse E. Eschbach, chairman of the commission, has announced the appointment of a number of the minor officials of the commission but no director has been named. Also license applications have been mailed to persons affected by the law, but no other activities have as yet been undertaken by the commission. Ele Stansbury, attorney-general of Indiana; will defend the law for the state.
