COMMISSION WINS OUT
ANTHRACITE ROADS MUST PRO.
pUcE CONTRACTS WITH The
COAL COMPANIES.

washington, April 5.-The case OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
vs.. Baird, commonly known as the
anthracite coal case, has been decided
by the supreme court of the United
States in favor of the contentious of
the commission, the decision of the
United States circuit court for the
Southern district of New York being
reversed.
This is the case instituted before
the commission by w. r. Hearst OF
New York, who alleged discrimination
by the railroad companies which
reached the anthracite coal mines in
Pennsylvania. During the hearing
some of the witnesses refused to pro-
duce certain contracts bearing upon
the business of the railroad companies
and the coal mines, which action was
upheld by the circuit court of New
York. The United States supreme
court holds that the contracts should
have been supplied. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Day.
