apply is all that portion of the coun
try east of Chicago and north of the
Ohio river. The basis for the rates
will be one fare and a third, plus $3.50

trouble and worry on the part of the

ment, although it by no means follows
that something of the sort win not

London, Feb. 22.-The downfall of
Premier Asquith is predicted even by
the liberal press today unless he ac-
quiesces to the demands of the par
ty who were his erstwhile allies in
the legislative program. Asquith is
accused of tricking both his own par

apparent today the nationalists will
not support the liberals in the legis-

and the abolition of the veto power
of the house of lords. The national
lists apparently have the future of the
present parliament within the hollow

COAL TRUST DEALS
EXPOSED TO PUBLIC
GOVERNMENT CHARGES
ILLEGAL COMBINATION
Assistant U. 8. Attorney General I'm
folds Alleged Iniquities Of Big An
thracite Companies-Stifle Trade
and Competition.

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-Standing in
the United states circuit court five
hours yesterday, James c. Mercy
nolds, special assistant to the Unit
ed States attorney general, unfolded
the alleged iniquities of the so-called
anthracite coal trust and charged that
seven of the nine coal carrying rail-
roads entering the hard coal fields of
PENNSYLVANIA are in a conspiracy to
stifle trade.
On behalf of the government he ask
ed the court to issue an injunction to
break UP the alleged n,onopolistic
control of fuel and also pleaded that
the acquisition by some of the rail-
roads of stock'in competing railroads
and coal companies be declared in vio-
lation of the sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. McReynolds laid great stress
upon the part the Temple Iron COM
pany has played in the coal fields, de-
claring that its organization clearly
showed a conspiracy among the coal
roads to control the anthracite trade
to tidewater at New York. When in
dependent mining companies, tiring
OF high freight rates, proposed build
ing an Independent railroad to New
York, government counsel said the
Temple Iron company, a small concern
with a limitless charter in Pennsyl-
vania, was purchased by the anthra-
cite coal carrying roads, they taking
stock in proportion to the quantity OF
coal handed by them.
