contiscated by the railroad companies.
The seizure is made because of re.
cent supreme court decision which SAYS
that in ease of strikes the railroad
companies have the right to contiscate
any coal on their property. regardless
of their copsignee. The railroad com
panies claim they are executing their
just rights, as they maintain that their

when strikes prevail they are simply
taking their balance due on the con
