Washington. D. c., March Is
Boarding houses and hotels are filling
up with hungry ACCOMPLISHMENTS ior
thu political nie which the new "rgani-
cation OF the House Of Representatives
will havo 10 dispensc after TUESDAY
April 4. More than 500 jobs will be
vacant, ranging in Importance from
clerk and sergcant-at-arms to elevator
conductor and furnace tender. Today
these jobs are the property OF faithful
republicans. Some of them have held
down positions OF varying Importance
for sixtcea years. Now comes the
change. While there arc more than
500 jobs, there arc approximately loo
seekers far every job in the gilt OF the
new majority. Only five or SIX repub-
Leans will he retained. That number
OF Jobs is always the pcrquisite OF The
minority. The remaining 495--and
then some-will be given the merry
toss on Tuesday. Then comes the
scramble for the vacated Offices. Demo
cratic members Of the ways and means
committee now sitting in conference on
the tariff anil other matters are beset
with claims and requests for aid.
Champ Clark, who is busy stuylng bow
to be speaker, can hardly find time for
bis lessons, owing to repeated inter
ruptiors. A phalanx OF the hungry
hangs around the Union station waiting
for the coming OF the various heroes
whom they helIei on to victory last
fall. All is all, it is time OF trial for
the successful statesmen. There is one
crumb Of comfort for the returning re-
publicans. They have SO little pie to
dispense that arrangements for its dis
position were effected on The night Of

4 Coal Trust.

W tSlliilS lOii, IhalNii - ~ 'A1''S-
prosecutions against half score OF
powerful finauciers may be instituted
shortly, it vas learned here today, fol-
lowing secret Investigation Of what De-
partmcnt Of Justice officials declared to
be the biggest trust in the World."
Agents OF the department are re-
ported to have evidence OF a hilli'
dollar combination said to be faihered
by the Pennsylvania Railroad and or.
ganized to control the entire anthracite
coal output Of the United States. For
wears, ii is claimed, the combine, act
ing secretly, has used its power to ea-
tort enormous profits, while throttling
competition by withholding cars from
coal operators not in tho trust.
Dummy directors and secret alliances
between railroads and mining COM
panies are said to constitute the basis Of
the combine
Subsidization Of small railroads, and
the buyirg up Of enormous coal hold
ings were The steps by which the
trust" gained domination of the field.
The irIst vas declared atthe Depart.
ment Of Justice to have almost abso.
lutte control Of the larger coal fields in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio:
Idaho, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio md
Iowa. Investigation are still he'ng
conducted by Special ACCT Harrison,
under the immediate direction OF w. :.
l1enyon, special assistant 10 the attor-
ncy general, who il in charge of all the
larger trust prosecutions.
The PENNSYLVANIA, the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Norfolk and Western
railroads we're today declared at the
Department OF Justice 10 be the THREE
carriers who play the most prominent
part in the alleged combine. 1t was
asserted that the Pennsylvania through
the medium OF inter-mutual directors
and enormous stock holdings listed
in dummy names" practically con-
troIled the latter two roads. The Balti-
more and Ohio and the Norfolk and
Western, in turn we're said to contro!
numerous smaller roads in the same
paper. AL were ueCldltu w io '
be IL ght up coal fields wherever possible,
and to have formed secret allowances
with those companies who refused to
sell. The result, according to high
official OF the department as a trust
beside which The Standard Oil and
Tobacco combines seem little fellows. =
Prose; u,ions Of the fnancies alleged
TO be behind the combine will be based
or The Sherman antitrust law, which
is declared TO, have been violated in al
most every particular. 1t was also de-
rlasrd at the department that agents
are now hard at work trying to find
evidence which will connect certain
men powerful, in Wall street With the
trust" II vas stated that the rati-
fcations Of The alleged combine may
al4o include several eastern magnates.
The discovery OF tho coal trust is
the result Of Investigations originally
conducted in connection with the gov
ernment's prosecution Of coal carrying
railroads under the commodities
clause" The present contemplated
proceedings, however, are entirely
separate and apart from the former
litigation. The commodities clause
case vas practically nullified by thf
decision 81 the Scotus.
