The Coal Combine investigation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Messrs. Combs
and Patterson have practically completed
their report to the special committee of
investigation into tie Reading anthracite
combination. The report will assert that
the combination drove out independent
coal operators and did obtain control of
the anthracite coal industry and that it
sought to do this by fixing high freight
rate on coal SO as to make it profitable for
individuals to turn in their product at the
mines to the combination. The report
will recommend the passage of the bill
agreed upon by the commerce committee,
which gives the Interstate commerce
commission power to keep down freight
rates.
