Coal Trust Case.

The other resolution asks If any in
vesugation ever was made by the de-
partment Of justice of the so-called
anthracite coal trust, consisting of the
anthracite coal carrying railroads. The
attorney general replies to this as fol-
lows:
Il have the honor to say that dur
ing the time Of the anthracite coal
strike the department of justice began
an investigation for the purpose of de-
termining whether the anthracite coal
business was conducted through COM
binatiOn or conspiracy in violation Of
the antitrust act of 1890.
This investigation had not proceed
ed far until discovered that if such a
combination existed the evidence of its
existence had been adroitly concealed,
and that if il was to be established
would largely depend on the govern
ment's ability to secure evidence of a
chain of circumstances which in the
aggregate would establish a cOmbina-
tiOO.
