form of trust and conspiracy in re-
straint of trade and commerce in regard
to the sale and production of coal and
coke, and in violation of law. The
agreement it is said, went into effect
about January 1. 1898. and since that
time they have monopolized and con-
trolled the amount of coal and coke pro-
duced in the Kanawha district, and
coal
mined and coke made by the several de-
PENDANTS as could be sold by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Fuel Co, and that the

their proportionate amount of coal at
stipulated price and figured upon the
ratio designated in the contract, as
fixed by the executive committee.
Asks Restraint BY Injunction.

tition in the sale of the same has been

they reside. by virtue of their agree
ment which the court is asked to de-
clare Illegal and void.
