Action is Ordered Against
Chicago Firms by Special
Grand Jury.
A CONSPIRACY is SEEN
Alleged Shortage is Due Primarily to
Strike in Anthracite FieIds-combi.
nations Discovered in Which
Charges of Conspiracy Are Made.

Chicago, Jan. ia true bill was
returned this morning against forty
hve coal operators and retailers,
charging them with conspiracy to do
an illegal act that was Injurious to
public trade.
Indictments are against both the
corporations and individuals doing
business in Illinois and Indiana. The
bail is fixed at $1,5OO. Accompanying
the return indictments was an explain
atory report setting forth the grounds
upon which the jurors based their ac-
ton.
The Causes.
The shortage, the members of the
jury declare, they found was due "pri-
marily and principally to the recent
great strike in the anthracite coal
fields" Bituminous coal could not be
mined and stored in sufficient quanti-
ties to supply the deficiency caused
by the restricted output from the an
thracite mines. The railroads they
believed to be doing all in their power
to move the coal promptly to market
and an accumulation of coal laden
cars in the railroad yards does not
exist to an unusual extent at this time
OF the year.
Find Combinations.
The jury found that there existed in
the city of Chicago and in Illinois and
the. neighboring states certain com
binations, which it deems to be con
spiracies or combinations in restraint
of trade within the meaning of the
statutes" as follows: The Northern
Illinois Soft Coal association, the Re
tail Coal Dealers association of Hi
nois and Wisconsin, certain combi
nation of Indiana coal operators will
the Crescent Coal and Mining Co
Other associations of operators and
coal dealers were found to exist ant
to have more or less effect in fixing
prices and restricting combination
but against whom evidence did moi

Annual Meeting of the U. M. w. A.
Convenes at Indianapolis.
HE DENOUNCES THE INJUNCTION
Declares it to Be Hostile to constitu-
tionaI Liberty and the Demand
for Incorporation of Unions as I'm.
pudent in Address to Convention.

Indianapolis, Jan. 19.-Declaring his
belief unquestionable in the final out
come of the coal strike investigation
as vindication of the miners, Presi-
dent John Mitchell OF the United Mine
Workers of America, delivered his an
nual address before delegates of the
national organization in convention as
sembled in this city today. For several
days the delegates to the convention
nave been arriving in this city and to-
day, the opening session of the con-
vention was held.
Miners are Welcomed.
The United Mine Workers four
teenth annual convention opened here
this morning with over 600 delegates
present. Mayor Bookwalter made a
short address of welcome in behalf OF
the city and President Mitchell fol-
lowed with short response The pre-
liminary work of the organization was
the taken UP.
MitchePs Address.
| President Mitchell began his adj
dress by saying that of the many i'm
portapt events affecting the interests
and welfare of the toilers OF the coun-
try, the anthracite coal strike stood
pre-eminent, and that vital principles
were at stake, which il defeated would
have given the American labor
movement shock from which it
would have required years to recover.
| Confidence in the Arbiters.
After giving brief history of. the
great strike. Mitchell continued: 1T
would, of course, be improper at this
time for me to comment upon the in
vestigation now being conducted by
the anthracite coal strike commission,
more than to say that its members
are eminent men, in whose impartial
| ity and judgment | have full conf
dence.
Does Not Fear Outcome.
81 am firm in my opinion of our abil-
| ity to demonstrate the justice of our
claims, and l have no fear of the out
come.
Relations More Cordial.
with each succeeding year the re-
! lations become more cordial between
i the operators and the miners in these
districts, where trade agreements eS-
ist, and the bond of mutual confidence
and respect perceptibly increases.
That the business relationship now
existing will continue and grow as
time goes on is my earnest hope ard
confident expectation"
