COAL TRUST 70 Be
NEXT LEGAL Victim
Action Planned Similar to
Course Against Packers.
BILL IN EQUITY TO BE DRAWN
Attorney General Knox Instructed by the
President to Make Thorough InYestiga-
ton and Proceed Against the Big
Combine.

4 The Department of Justice will soon in
stitute move against the combination
OF railroad and mining magnatcs which
controls the output Of coal. The question
was discussed at the Cabinet meeting yes
terday, and it is stated on high authority
that the President has directed the At
torney General 10 proceed with an iRves-
tigatioa against the big combine,
While the Attorney General has not
been instructed to draw 8 bill IN equity
azzlnst the coal trust, it is understood
that this method VIII be pursued. The
President is declared to have reached
point in his investigation OF the subject
which assures him that the combination
which controls the output OF coal IS IN
opposition to the Sherman antitrust law.
From the United States attorneys in the
coal regions Attorney General Knox has
received, it is stated, evidence tending TO
show that the combination is fully as
much in restraint of trade as the beef
trust. or any other combination in this
country.
Many Complaints Filed.
7: The complaints which have been received
by the President ard Attorney General
Knox have increased in intensity as the
situation in the coal regions has become
more critical. There is no central organ
5zati0R to be struck, as was the case n
the merger The capitalists of the Eve
largest railroads which penetrate the eeaI
regions are alleged to control the greater
portion Of the coal fields Their methods
are declared to be most artocratic.
According TO the complaints received in
Washington. the magnates at the head of
the trust, who VIII probably. when pro-
ceedings are Instituted figure as the big
Five, Just as the big Six figured IN the
proceedings against the beef trust. control
practically all the railroad trackage IN the
coal fields. They determine each nlenth
what the output for the ensuing month shan
be. It is decided just how much each
operator shall produce Such an agree
meRt, Of course. proves satisfactory to
the parties to the trust. II does not to
individual operators.
Restraint Of Trade.
Bat 1t is on this point that the enemies
Of the trust hope to make their point.
They claim that evidence can be pro-
duced to show that the railroad owners
dictate to the individual operators Just
how much they shall produce and the in
dividGal operators dare not make a
greater output, because they viii not be
provided with the cars 10 place the coal
on the market This, If il can be proven,
Is SAID TO be an obvious violation of
the Sherman antitrust law.
Nothing official IN regard 10 the matter
could be learned at the Department Of
Justice today.

The TRIBUNE oil edition unfair in
a statement made regarding an oil
company organized for operation

BUNE's statement was to the effect
that no person in Canon City
would invest dollar in the enter
prise, while at the same time the
organizers (all of whom were
named) we're Canon City men save
one. This statement was made by
ID. G. Peabody, now a resident Of

inject into Mr.. Peabody's state.
ment few words which would
have made the matter clear. This
morning THE TRIBUNE is in pos
session of supplemental letter
from Mr. Peabody, who says:
But | do not believe Colorado
would have had an oil company if
it had not been for ID. g. Peabody
They never thought of going down
to Florence for twenty years. They
had talked of its great advantages
at Canon City, but no one dared
to risk dollar except the men |
got in my company, and they
stuck to me until they were scared
that they would lose and then
dropped out and | had to do as |
did. | told Canon that Florence
would be the largest town, but
they took it. | told them that
the oil produced at Florence
would be in the millions in my
life or in twenty years. It's there
