United States Supreme Court Decides
Against the Railroad Owned Coal

Washington dispatch, December
10th says:
"The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States to-day cancelled as violative
of the Sherman antitrust law the
contracts by which railroad owned
coal companies in the Pennsylvania
anthracite fields had purchased the
output for all time of independent
mines.
Attorney General Wickersham to-
night expressed the belief that the de-
cision will so completely destroy the
combination which now controls the
price of anthracite that it must re-
suit in a distinct measure of relief to
the public
"The court also ordered dissolution
of railroad control of the Temple Iron
Company, by which the principal rail-
roads and their coal companies were
found to have strangled a project
to build a competing road into the
anthacite fields in 1898 and by
which monopolizing schemes could
be put into operation in the future.
The Government failed, the court
held, to show general combination
to apportion the amount of coal to be
put upon the market annually by the
various roads The Governments S
other charges as to a general combi-
nation were characterized as 'indefi-
