RETAIL DEALERS
REFUSE TO ANSWER
Postpone Hearing of Coal OPP
orators Complaints
Fact Brought Out That Louisville
Men All Charge Same Price To
the Consumer. a
QUESTION OF LAW INVOLVED

Louisville retail coal dealers have
delayed the federal Investigation in
to the Kentucky coal situation.
C. NJ. Riker, manager Of the West
Kentucky Cial company. has return
ed from Louisville, where he attend
ed the interstate commerce commits
sion investigation of charges against
the Illinois Central railroad made
particularly by western Kentucky
coal operators. In the evidence adj
duced thus far Mr.. Riker thinks no
Istrong case has been made against
the railroad to show that the car
shortage was due to causes within it's
ipower to remedy. However, The in
vestigation once begun has develop
ed in interest and Importance until
no definite adjournment is In sight.
The investigation has now been car
ried into the retail trade and before
It is closed, may have altogether un-
Expected results.
The line OF evidence given the COM
mission, brought on a discussion of
netaii conditions and II was found
necessary to summon Louisville coal
dealers to testify. By their refus-
ling to answer the questions put to
them by the federal attorneys con-
|ducting the investigation for the COM
mission, the sitting of the commission
has been postponed until the United
States Encouragement can render a
decision on the point whether they
can be made to answer the commits
sion's interrogations. Meanwhile
the investigation rests.
It was shown that Louisville retail
dealers in coal have one price. This
in competition. the COM
mission thought indicated an agree
ment and questions along this line
the retail dealers refused to answer.
II the attorney general says they shall
answer. the retail dealers may carry
their point 10 the courts and thus
delay the case indefinitely, though
make 1t one Of national Importance.
The government gained victory IN
the investigation OF the tobacco trust
when the supreme court ruled that
the books of the trust were open to
the commission and 1t Is believed
that the retail dealers in Louisville
can be made to answer all questions.
though whether they would be con-
sidered subject for interstate inves-
tigation is doubtful. Doing business
in one state, they may not come with
in the jurisdiction of the federal re-
straint of trade laws.
Owing to the size of the Ohio vail
ley coal interests, the investigation
with the developments thus far, Is ex-
pected to bring many disputed points
into courts and thus have a national
Importance. The commission al
ready sees that the investigation in
Kentucky will require more time than
was expected. If the retail dealers
cannot be investigated by the govern
ment. the state may take hand. But
IL was pointed out that a large num-
Der of the retail dealers in Louisville,
as in Paducah, are simply the agents
of the big companies doing on inter-
state business and in that event. they
could be made to answer questions,
the same as the company officers.
