Washiirgton, April 19. The su preme court of 'the, District of Co lumbia ruled today, that the federal trade commission was without au thority to enforce its order requiring monthly reports of production costs from coal mine companies and, other industries. - In granting application ' of the Maynard Coal company of Ken tucky and Ohio for an injunction to restrain ,he commission from pro ceeding to collect a penalty of $100 a day foe every day of failure to re port, Justice Bailey declared that the powers the commission sought were "vast- and unprecedented," and be yond the province ol congress to convey. The court's decision affects virtually every mining and iSanu facturing company in the country, if wa ssaid tonight, by corporation lawyers. Justice Bailey held that if the busi ness of the concern rom which product cost reports were demanded was entirely in interstate commerce, th$ committee's claim of authority mighe be valtf, but that if the May nard case the commission obviously was demanding information from a company whise business was both 1 intra-state and interstate. J. S. Foster, general counsel, for the National Coal association de clared in a statement that the de cision was far reaching. "if the contention of the commis sioTi had been sustained," he said, "it would necessarily follow that the commission had the right to require not only such detailed reports of cost of production which ship any portion of (he products or articles in which they deal in interstate com merce and would force all such com panies to report in dctnil every item of cost and profit, as well as their financial condition," Anti-Saloon League Will Hold Two Conferences Soon Westerville, O..

(Spe cial.) John X Pershing will carry Nebraska and the size of his lead depends only upon the .number of voters who turn out tomorrow, Mark W. Woods, chairman of the Pershing-for-Presidcnt club, de clared in a statement given out to day. "A definite trend toward General Pershing which" set in a wepk ago now makes victory certain," Mr. Woods said. "There is a possibility that his Jead over Hiram Johnson will be more than the total vote of Major General Wood. We arc making no claims that exceed demonstratable facts. "General Pershing will poll 85 per cent of the woman's vote v in Ne braska, anil has behind him the ma jority of the ex-service men, the business men's vote, lanor and farm ers. It is an unbeatable combina tion - ' Realize Marvelous Possibilities. "Reports from all over the state indicate that Nebraska is just be ginning to realize the marvelous pos sibilities of the Pershing candidacy. Throughout the country it is becom ing increasingly evident that the Chicago convention will see in Per shing the republican party's great est asset and nominate himv This feeling has grown skice General Per shing's definite promise to make the race if given the Nebraska delega tion to the Chicago republican con vention, i . .

' "No man will have a majority when the Chicago convention opens, bui if the people, of Nebraska, give Pershing an overwhelming majority he will possess such strength that his nomination wfll be inevitable. It is up to the people of Nebraska to say whether they, want their son, in the White House. , "There is just one final word to friends, of General 'Pershing. Go to the polls, and stay tkeVe until the vdtcs have been cast. Sec that the friends of General Pershing vote. Let's astound, the nation, at the size of Pershing's majority.
