" As a, means of protecting his com—

of the law firm Rounds, Schurman &,

ship of which Charles E. Hughes, now.
secretary of state, was long a mem- 1
her.
- Their first step, he saidr was to
serve notice on H. E Spencer. federal
Harding, that the Connecticut corpors
ation planned to enjoin the govern-
ment from carrying out its intention
of confiscating all coal shipped from
this state. The Washington authorities
were asked to provide the com-
plainant with copies of all rules and
regulations under which (139}! were
acting.

The entire matter hinges on the
question of whether the present situo
