The Peavey Elevator company,
which is a separate corporation, is
not affected
The retirement Of the grain COM
pany followed meetings of officers of
several Chicago financial institutions.
The tragic ending of Mr.. Pettit's
life is said to have a significant bear
ing on this action.
An official of the Corn Exchange

ANTHRACITE TRUST
AGAIN UNDER FIRE
Validity of Commodities Clause
to Be Tested.
SUIT AGAINST lEHIGH FILED
Government Renews Its Action to
Break Up Control Of Mines by
Railroads in Eastern
Field.

Washington.-The government Will
renew the fight to separate
the great coal carrying railroads from
their virtual control OF mines. and
thus vitalize the commodities clause
of the interstate commerce law. A
test case against the Lehigh Valley
railroad was filed In the United states
court in Philadelphia.
That the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany. Coke Bros, Inc. the New York
& Middlefleld Railroad and Coal COM
pany and the Locust Mountain Coal
and Iron company are not bona hde
coal companies. but merely ad)uncts
to the Lehigh Valley railroad. and are
devices for evading the commodity
clause" is the governments principal
complaint
It is also alleged that the Lehigh
Valley railroad. with the object OF re
moving competition. has caused the
Iehigh Valley Coal company to con
tract at loss for the output of other
anthracite operators, has transported
the coal over its own lines and through
the coal companies fixed the price In
New York and other markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying Of coal from other
operators has been done at loss to
the coal company it has enabled the
Lehigh Valley railroad to transport
the coal over it's lines and profit from
the freight charges.
To support It's claim that the coal
company is merely the dummy
through which the railroad engaged In
mining. transporting and selling coal
in violation OF the commodities clause
the government cites that the officers
of the railroad and the coal company
are the same and that certain mem
bers OF the directorate and the execu.
tive committee OF the railroad are
members of the directorate and execu.
tive committee of the coal company
Among these named are Eben b.
Thomas. George F. Baker. f. T. States
bury and James A. Middleton.
Each of them, II Is charged, has

company because Of his position with
the railroad. II is set forth that the
coal company uses the railroad COM
pany's offices and does Its business
over the railroad company's desks
AS further allegation that the Le-
high Coal company Is an adjunct OF
the Lehigh Valley railroad. the gov.
ernment's complaint says that since
the capital stock Of the coal company
has been owned by the railroad 1t has
paid no dividends, that millions OF dol.
lars have been advanced by the rail
road to the coal company which have
never been refunded, and that the rail-
road has paid the interest upon the
coal companys bonds. being compen-
stated. the government claims, by the
earnings from transportation OF coal
over It's lines.
While in effect the governments &C.
ton is a blow at the so-called coal
trust, the case is separate from that
suit which is now on appeal to the
