Staff Correspondence of The
Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 16. -
Through the daring of one man,
who happens to have the courage.
a body blow has been struck at the
citadel of the greedy railroad coal
trust.
A sweeping investigation S to be
made of the trade methods of the
spiderweb of railroads that dolnin-
ate the hard and soft coal fields of
the country. Disclosures into a
monster plot to restrict trade in
the great American commodity -
COAL-are promised.
The man is Logan NJ. Bullitt,
president of the Red Ro-k Fuel
company, a relatively obscure BIZ
luminous mining company of West
Virginia. The Baltimore & Ohio
Railway company, one arm of the
trust, refused to allow this little
Independent concern to do bust
ness. The worm turned and the lit
tie concern carried its complaint
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. That body heard the
evidence and in scathing TENS de-
nounced the action of the railroad
and peremptOrily ordered the dis
elimination stopped.
The report Of the commission
was sent to every member of con
gress, and President Roosevelt be-
came interested. Representative
Gillespie of Texas fathered the res
olutiOn 70 investigate in the house
and "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman has
declared his intention of fighting
for a clean sweep of the matter in
the senate. Next month Judge
Dayton of the United States cir
cult court of the northern district
Of West Virginia, will be called
upon to enforce the order of the
Interstate Commission.
These plans are resultant from
the bold action of Bullitt, who, as
he said in a petition to congress,
urged an investigation in the in.
terest of all independent coal ship.
pers who have no railroad infiu
ence and the public general, who
have felt the oppressive force OF
railroad abuses"
The congressional investigation
will be into the Pennsylvania rail
road system, which is declared tc
be the skeleton of the coal railroad
trust. The same gigantic money
interests that control the Pennsvl
vania are associated In the con
troll and domination, largely
through the Pennsylvania's man
agement, of New York Central. Bal

If the Sunday closers' ideas go
through they will have to construct
lid factory for there will be all
kinds of lids to be manufactured
varying in fit and style.
or course the lid on the saloons
would be air tight and the bar-fy
unfortunate enough to get locked
in Saturday night may suffocate be-
fore opening time on Monday. but
the lid on the clubs would serve
as a revolving ventilating fan.
If the plans of the leaguers do
not run amiss they will make
fine new lid for the drug stores.
but inasmuch as it will have to
have a few holes in it, the lid will
admit light and air and NAV not
be a first class job from the lid
factory.
measurements are already being
taken for the lids to be supplied
to the restaurants, but whether an
effective design can De manufac-
tured yet remains to be seen. The
lidded saloon keeper will howl like
the very mischief if the lids fur
nished the chophouse men do not
fit tight.
The idea if carried out in it's
pristine Puritan rigor would re-
suit in making Spokane a veritable
mosaic of different kinds of SUM-
day lids instead of one vast, awe
compelling and majestic lid. There
would be cigar store lids, lids for
the milkmen, for the peanut ven
dor who PHYS his nefarious trade,
for the newsboy disposing of choice

ing:
Dear Sir: Your communication
of March 2.
The present coal development
on the road is to considerable
extent beyond the ability of the op-
orators to market the product, or
the company to promptly or fully
furnish transportation facilities to
mvoe it. Therefore, the company
cannot reasonably encourage the
expansion of this situation. The
commercial obligation thus impos-
ed prevents going beyond what is
the company's strict duty under the
law in the matter 1t is believed
that you will appreciate the pro-
priety of this position"
The Red Rock concern evidently
didn't see the "propriety" of the
position in any way, for it carried
the case to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which found
that the chief reason why the B. &
o. declined to grant the connec-
ton was that it desired to protect
coal companies in which it is in
terested."
The truth is, B. & O. interests
own more than 100000 of the
capital stock of the Consolidated
Coal company, which, in turn, owns
control of the Paramount Coal
company, Somerset Coal company,
Pittsburg C Paramount Coal com.
pany and the Clarksburg Fuel com
pany. These concerns comprise
about so per cent of all the coal
mined along the lines of the B. &
o., and in the rich Paramount dis
trict.
Congress investigation into this
I rapacious trust may explain why
bituminous coal at the mine aver
ages $1.25 a ton today over an
average of go cents before the
railroads Joined hands to control
the mining of coal.

IF THE LID IS PUT ON IN
SPOKANE THEN?

If the Law Enforcement leaguers
attain the giddy heights to which
they aspire in the matter of putting
lid on about everything in Spo-
kane on Sundays, the chances are
that Spokane will have large crop
of social organizations which do
not exist at present.
What is in prospect may be seen
in the action taken by a number
OF men on the north side who have
already squared themselves away
to meet new and drastic conditions.
Anticipating a drouth on Sundays,
about dozen men of different ages
have been working as merrily on
the project as any engineer of a
great irrigation scheme. The re-
suit has been the transformation
OF an organization which might be
appropriately called a cid" club.
The scheme is for each member of
the organization to make an "ante"
along about Friday and have what
ever in the booze line is considered
desirable on Sunday delivered to
the rooms of one of the bachelor
young men late Saturday night or
afternoon. Only members of the
club who make the ante" are now
considered eligible to the Sunday
matinee. This is done in order
that the lid may be kept down
tight.
II is not far cry to the prob
ability of nearly every section and
half section and even quarter sec
tion OF nearly every block in the
city having Its local lid club.

Chesapeake & Ohio, Philadelphia
& Reading, Jersey Central, Lacka-
wanna, Erie and numerous smaller
lines, all forming a perfect net
work through the soft and hard
coal fields of the east, south and
middle west.
Though the motive for the inves-
tigatiOn is to show that the COM
binatiOn is in restraint of trade and
a violation of the antitrust law,
its ramifications are expected to
show system for arbitrarily fix
ing coal prices, freight rate discri-
mination of various kinds and all of
the high finance tactics of the mod
ern American trust.
The Red Rock Fuel company
owns some 1000 acres of valuable
coal lands in the Paramount dis
trict of West Virginia, which it is
endeayoring to develop. 1t is on the
line Of the B. G. o. To do BUSH
ness it must ship over that line,
and to reach the railroad it must
have a side track.
A year ago the company applied
for a side track connection. agree
ing to pay the cost of construction
G. H. Potter, third vice president
Of the railroad, replied that the B..
& o. would not give the connec-
ton, would never permit the little
Independent concern to have a sid
ing until forced to by law, that the
policy of the railroad was mot to
have a lot of little shippers on it's
| line who would ship coal when
prices were high and then shut up
shop and let the large shippers
have the lean years" and that the
B. & O. proposed to protect its
large shippers.
Shortly after this rebuff Bullitt
again appealed, this time to Oscar
G. Murray, president of the B. & o.
