day that the government had insti-
tuted action to dissociaate the Phila-

ing Coal and Iron company in the
mining and transporting of anthra-
cite coal.
George f. Raer. president of the
three Reading companies, Is In
Europe and no one else in authority
would talk of the suit.
While the action taken in an
amendment to the suit brought some

thracite roads under the commodities
clause of the Hepburn railroad act
of 1906, prohibiting railroad compan-
les from transporting commodities in
which they are interested, the Read
ting railway and the Reading Coal

Coal and Iron company stock that

pany, a holding corporation and not
a transportation company,

the matter except to say II had been
done within the last two months
