Mr.. Herman w Chaplin. one Of the fore
most members Of the Massachusetts, bar
has for several years devoted himself TO the
study OF the problem OF great corporations

the American people. The result Of these
studies, so far as II Affects the problem
presented by the strike situation 10 the an

Mr.. Chaplin has issued on The Coal Mines
and the Public" in which he makes "a
popular statement Of the legal aspects Of
the coal problem. and OF the rights OF con-
sumers as the situation exists, September

OF the case as it exists, and the sugges

be effective.
Tho case. as stated, Is that practically
the whole existing aud available source OF
supply Of anthracite coal for more than
100000 people in the Eastern states Is
IN territory Of 500 square miles, more OF

mines within this region are owned by
very limited number OF corporations ana ~
divlduals and at least two-thlrds are owned
or held under lease by one OF anotncr OF
seven railroad corporations, which, by ~
ranpement among themselves, are Tor ptuC'
tical purposes a unit; that with the excep-
tion OF a brief period between May, lvJV
and March, 1901, these railroad corpora
/ tlons controlled practically oil the coal car
